I m working on one application in which i have splash screen and home screen. My Application is landscape and portrait mode application. When my application starts and i am on Landscape mode my home screen shows portrait mode for some mili seconds and after that it comes into the landscape mode. I want it should directly show the view in landscape mode.
Thanks
I usually enable notifications:
[[UIDevice currentDevice] beginGeneratingDeviceOrientationNotifications];
On my controllers i put:
- (void)willRotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation duration:(NSTimeInterval)duration
{
[self configureOrientation:toInterfaceOrientation];
}
- (void)configureOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)orientation
{
if(UIDeviceOrientationIsValidInterfaceOrientation(orientation)){
if(UIInterfaceOrientationIsLandscape(orientation)){
[self configureLandscapelView];
}else if(UIInterfaceOrientationIsPortrait(orientation)){
[self configurePortraitlView];
}
}
}
You can also get the orientation from the UIViewController itself:
UIInterfaceOrientation orientation = [self interfaceOrientation];
Or from the status bar:
[UIApplication sharedApplication] statusBarOrientation]

I NEED: rotate device programmatically from portrait to landscape compatible for iOS6 and iOS5.
THE PROBLEM: I cannot use [UIDevice setOrientation] function on ios6.
WHAT I HAVE: the code for iOS6:
- (BOOL) shouldAutorotate
{
return YES;
}
- (UIInterfaceOrientation)preferredInterfaceOrientationForPresentation
{
return UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft;
}
the code for iOS5:
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
return YES;
}
So, I need write the code that rotate on iOS5:
-(void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
[super viewWillAppear:animated];
// [[UIDevice currentDevice] setOrientation] - I cannot use it
// ???
}
I achieved this by set Status bar orientation, try execute in code:
[[sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarOrientation:UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight];
and when you need portrait mode, set status bar to setStatusBarHidden:NOand again set statusbar orientation to portrait UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait.
I've got a MPMoviePlayer working. It is designed to show a postage-stamp size movie as a subview in the view. When the phone is rotated into landscape, it goes into full screen mode. And when the phone is in portrait it goes into postage-stamp portrait mode.
The only problem is when I press Done when in landscape mode, it stays in landscape, with the postage stamp sized movie, rather than kick back into portrait..
Here's some of my code:
-(void)willRotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation duration:(NSTimeInterval)duration {
if (toInterfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight || toInterfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft) {
[moviePlayerController setFullscreen:YES animated:YES];
} else
{
[moviePlayerController setFullscreen:NO animated:YES];
}
}
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
return interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight || interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait || interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft;
}
How would I get it to kick into portrait mode after pressing Done?
#cannyboy...you just need to use below method in your APPDelegate.m if your application only works with portrait mode
- (NSUInteger) application:(UIApplication *)application supportedInterfaceOrientationsForWindow:(UIWindow *)window {
if ([[window.rootViewController presentedViewController] isKindOfClass:[MPMoviePlayerViewController class]])
{
//NSLog(#"in if part");
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAllButUpsideDown;
}
else
{
//NSLog(#"in else part");
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait;
}}
I was the same problem and now I am telling you how I solved it. I don't know the below method is right or wrong but it work fine.
Instead of opening MPMoviePlayer in view open it in a new viewController. I mean create a new UIViewController to show the movie and push it some how so that user will not understood that they are redirecting into a new screen.
Disable the parent screen for landscape mode and allow MovieViewController to landscape.
When user press the done button or close button simply pop the viewController and as the previous screen don't support landscape mode so the screen will automatically shows in portrait mode.
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(_moviePlayerWillExitFullscreen:)
name:MPMoviePlayerWillExitFullscreenNotification object:nil];
- (void)_moviePlayerWillExitFullscreen:(NSNotification *)notification
{
CGFloat ios = [[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue];
CGFloat min = 5.0;
if (ios >= min)
{
if (self.interfaceOrientation != UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait)
{
if([self shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait])
{
[[UIDevice currentDevice] setOrientation:UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait];
[self willRotateToInterfaceOrientation:self.interfaceOrientation duration:0];
[UIViewController attemptRotationToDeviceOrientation];
}
}
}
}
Note that this only works in ios 5.0 and later, and you will get a warning that setOrientation is not supported, but it works pretty well
One way you could try is to force your device to think it is in portrait mode. To do this, try using:
[[UIDevice currentDevice] setOrientation:UIDeviceOrientationPortrait];
If you do not want your device to show landscape while not playing a movie, you will also have to add some logic to your code that you have shown above to only change to landscape if the movie is playing.
I have an iPhone app in which the RootViewController instance starts out in the landscape mode. It supports camera so it changes to portrait mode to take a photo. Once done it comes back to the RootViewController instance but the orientation doesn't change to landscape. I want this to automatically shift to the landscape orientation.
I tried adding
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarOrientation:UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight animated:NO]
in viewWillAppear method of RootViewController or viewWillDisapper of CameraViewController but orientation doesn't change. How do I programmatically change the orientation?
Try implementing following method in your controller.
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
if((interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft) || (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight))
return YES;
return NO;
}
Hope it helps.
My application is Navigation based.
All views are displaying Portrait mode except Report mode.Report mode display landscape mode when device is rotate landscape.
If device is rotate landscape mode Report view is displaying landscape mode.if report is landscape mode once again rotate in device Portrait mode it will display normal view of current view.
Flow of current action my view display.
From current view is Portrait mode and i am rotating device in landscape mode so getting Landscape mode of Report mode. after two rotate only i am getting current view in Portrait mode. I need to reduce tow rotation . please guide me . How to check condition for after landscape mode of Report if once again rotate i need to display current view in Portrait mode.
Here at ReportViewController
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
return UIInterfaceOrientationIsLandscape(interfaceOrientation);
}
#interface CurrentViewController
BOOL isShowingLandscapeView;
Report *landscapeViewController;
#implementation CurrentViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
Report *viewController = [[Report alloc]initWithNibName:#"Report" bundle:nil];
self.landscapeViewController = viewController;
[viewController release];
[[UIDevice currentDevice] beginGeneratingDeviceOrientationNotifications];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(orientationChanged:)
name:UIDeviceOrientationDidChangeNotification object:nil];
}
- (void)orientationChanged:(NSNotification *)notification
{
[self performSelector:#selector(updateLandscapeView) withObject:nil afterDelay:0];
}
- (void)updateLandscapeView
{
UIDeviceOrientation deviceOrientation = [UIDevice currentDevice].orientation;
if (UIDeviceOrientationIsLandscape(deviceOrientation) && !isShowingLandscapeView)
{
[self presentModalViewController:self.landscapeViewController animated:YES];
isShowingLandscapeView = YES;
}
else if(deviceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait && isShowingLandscapeView)
{
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
isShowingLandscapeView = NO;
}
}
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait ); // support only portrait
}
I'm not sure I understand your question, but the code looks like it might have the logic reversed.
In the ReportViewController,
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation
is called before the rotation, so it should
return YES for Portrait (YES, allow the view to rotate from Landscape TO portrait)
and return NO for Landscape (NO, do not allow the view to rotate to Landscape from Landscape).
And similarly in CurrentVC - try
return (interfaceOriention==UIInterfaceOrientationLandscape);
Hope that helps.

I have a navigation-based application in which I would like just one of the viewcontrollers to support landscape orientation. For that viewcontroller (vc1), in shouldAutorotate, I am returning YES for all orientations and in the other controllers I am returning YES only for portrait mode
But even then if the device is in landscape mode and I go to the next screen from vc1, the next screen also comes up rotated in landscape mode. I assumed that if I return a YES only for portrait mode, the screen should show up only in portrait.
Is this the expected behavior? How do I achieve what I am looking for?
Thanks.
You can't support the landscape orientation only for one of the viewcontrollers if you use shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation method of UIViewController.
You have only two choice whether all viewcontrollers support the landscape or no viewcontrollers support it.
If you want to support the landscape only for one, You need to detect device rotation and manually rotate views in the viewcontroller.
You can detect the device rotation by using Notification.
[[UIDevice currentDevice] beginGeneratingDeviceOrientationNotifications];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(didRotate:)
name:UIDeviceOrientationDidChangeNotification
object:nil];
Then, you can rotate your views when you detect the device rotation.
- (void)didRotate:(NSNotification *)notification {
UIDeviceOrientation orientation = [[notification object] orientation];
if (orientation == UIDeviceOrientationLandscapeLeft) {
[xxxView setTransform:CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(M_PI / 2.0)];
} else if (orientation == UIDeviceOrientationLandscapeRight) {
[xxxView setTransform:CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(M_PI / -2.0)];
} else if (orientation == UIDeviceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown) {
[xxxView setTransform:CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(M_PI)];
} else if (orientation == UIDeviceOrientationPortrait) {
[xxxView setTransform:CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(0.0)];
}
}
I have also situation when I need all view controllers in portait mode, but one of them also can rotate to landscape mode. And this view controller has navigation bar.
For this purpose I have created second window, in my case it was camera view controller. And when I need to show camera view controller, I show camera window and hide when I need to push another view controller.
And you also need to add this code to AppDelegate.
- (NSUInteger)application:(UIApplication *)application supportedInterfaceOrientationsForWindow:(UIWindow *)window
{
if (window == self.cameraWindow)
{
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAllButUpsideDown;
}
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait;
}
As i worked out for my App i advise you to use this solution.By using some conditions in the shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation method orientation type we can solve this.Just try with this link will help you.
