I got a pretty weird thing, am using UIWebView in one of my apps, but while the device is being rotated to landscape mode, the UIWebView content is not loading properly.
I can see the UIWebView size as proper but the content is somehow dangling.
For the case, I checked safari in iTouch, but for them its working pretty fine.
I dunno where is the issue. I am posting it after a brief search but could not get any help either.
If any you guys know how to fix this, it will be really helpful.
Cheers,

If your application supports all 4 orientation then in info.plist create a key for Supported interface orientations.
<key>UISupportedInterfaceOrientations</key>
<array>
<string>UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait</string>
<string>UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown</string>
<string>UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft</string>
<string>UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight</string>
</array>
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
// Return YES for supported orientations
return UIInterfaceOrientationIsLandscape(interfaceOrientation);
}
- (void)willAnimateRotationToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation duration:(NSTimeInterval)duration
{
//Also you can use this method
}

Currently I have only portrait mode in iPhone application. I would like to permit landscape mode for one controller in application but unfortunately I'm not able to make it work.
I have these settings in my plist file:
<array>
<string>UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait</string>
<string>UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight</string>
<string>UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft</string>
</array>
And I implemented these methods in my controller:
-(BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
return (interfaceOrientation != UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown);
}
-(NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations
{
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAllButUpsideDown;
}
-(BOOL)shouldAutorotate
{
return YES;
}
I use navigation controller in the app so I realize that it might be the problem. I subclassed the UINavigationController and implemented again shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation, supportedInterfaceOrientations and shouldAutorotate in the same way as above. Of course for I use subclassed navigation controller to show the controller which should have ability to rotate. I also tried to overwrite the methods of navigation controller by category but it also doesn't work.
I don't work on the application from the beginning, I inherited the codes. If there is some possibility how to restrict landscape globally it might be my case. For testing I use iPhone 6.0 simulator but my deployment target is 5.0. I appreciate any tips / help.
iOS6 also requires that you set a rootViewController for your window rather than adding the controller's view as a subview.
If you are doing something like this:
[window addSubview:someController.view];
then you can try changing it to this:
[window setRootViewController:someController];
Also look at this link. For ios6, Apple introduced these two methods :
supportedInter
faceOrientations:
shouldAutorotate
Hope it helps.

Try this on Controller youwant to give landscape orientation
// override to allow orientations other than the default portrait orientation
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
// return YES for supported orientations
return UIInterfaceOrientationIsLandscape(interfaceOrientation); // support only landscape
}
Go to target window.
Click on Summary tab.
iPhone/iPad Deployment info -> Set the supported interface orientations for iPhone & iPad as per your requirement. See following image for more reference.
i am working on the Remote Desktop protocol in this i facing a lot of Problem.
You guys are really good and help me in many critical situation .
My problem Goes like this:-
If i click on any button to connect to RDP after that if i wants to rotate the Device it is not happing
i made shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation Yes ,still the same
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
return YES;
}
In the info.plist file under the array "Supported interface orientations", you could add this:
<key>UISupportedInterfaceOrientations</key>
<array>
<string>UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait</string>
<string>UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft</string>
<string>UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight</string>
<string> UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown</string>
</array>
Hope this helps!
I have a strange problem in an iPhone app I'm developing. I want my app to support ONLY portrait mode, but for some reason I can't do it (device & simulator).
To support only portrait mode I did as follow:
In the TARGET summary section on Xcode, I chose only portrait.
All my ViewControllers implements shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation
But as I said it won't work, and the strange result is that the app support ALL the orientations (portrait, upside down, landscape left, landscape right).
Any ideas?
this how I implement shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
// Return YES for supported orientations
NSLog(#"Checking orientation %d", interfaceOrientation);
return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait);
}
I notice just now that when I rotate the phone I get this message:
"Two-stage rotation animation is deprecated. This application should
use the smoother single-stage animation."
What does it means?
On the Target Summary choose portrait only.
Go to info.plist file. Right Click open it as source code. And look for this line. For me in iPad its like this:
<key>UISupportedInterfaceOrientations~ipad</key>
Delete all other orientation and keep the only one which you need..Like this :
<array>
<string> UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait </string>
</array>
It is possible to have multiple ViewControllers on the screen. The UITabBarController is itself a UIViewController, and it only passes shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation: requests to the viewControllers within if it chooses. The default implementation does this, but if you subclass it, the code XCode generates (as of iOS 5.1) does not.
check your plist and make sure the key there is set correctly.
My application doesn't oriented even if I use
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
// Override to allow orientations other than the default portrait orientation.
return YES;
}
the only thing I do is to hide the lower tab bar using
SearchScreen.hidesBottomBarWhenPushed = YES ;
Any idea how to fix that
Some ideas:
Are the "Supported Device Orientations" set properply?
Maybe a parent ViewController is not allowing interface orientation?
If testing on a device: Is it "orientation locked"?
Setting 'Supported Device Orientations' inside Info.plist:
<key>UISupportedInterfaceOrientations</key>
<array>
<string>UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait</string>
<string>UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft</string>
<string>UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight</string>
</array>
Please write
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
// Override to allow orientations other than the default portrait orientation.
return YES;
}
in all your tab bar's root view controller.
Can you tell me your which one is root view controller that tab view controller??
I have my iPad application created using the SplitView template.
I wonder what is the best way to restrict my application to landscape mode?
I have tried overriding shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation: method in DetailViewController.m
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
return UIInterfaceOrientationIsLandscape(interfaceOrientation);
}
but 4.2 GM is still buggy and it fails to show the controller view. What other choices do I have?
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE1
I have already filed a bug report:
Bug ID #8620135
My app is almost finished and I have to find a work-arround since I don't think they are going to solve this before 4.2 officially comes out (GM is already out!)
In order to recreate the bug, just use SplitView template and override above method in any of the UIViewControllers (RootViewController or DetailViewControllers)
UPDATE2
I have found a work-around. (See UPDATE3 for the complete work-around)
Set UISupportedInterfaceOrientations only to support Landscape , this will force the app to start in landscape mode allowing DetailViewController to start correctly(hence shown correctly)
<key>UISupportedInterfaceOrientations</key>
<array>
<string>UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft</string>
<string>UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight</string>
</array>
But if you rotate the device, it turns Portrait mode!!!, so is still necessary to override shouldAutorotateToIntercafeOrientation: as above
Discussion:
If this wouldn't be a bug I would expect a warning or execution error, exception or something when starting the app in a orientation that is not supported by the view controller. Besides, why only DetailViewController does not show? If this would be specification, then RootViewController should also fail to load then. Don't you think?
thanks for you help... ;)
UPDATE3
After further tests I have realized that above work-around does not work in some cases. For example when starting the app when the device is in landscape won't work!.
The real problem seems to be that in iOS4.2GM UISplitViewController needs all its controllers have all rotations to be available at its load time. So is necessary to trick him so it loads in Landscape mode and then not allow him to rotate its view controllers.
So here is the new work-around for this annoying iBug.
Step1:
Set Info.plist like so:
<key>UISupportedInterfaceOrientations</key>
<array>
<string>UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft</string>
<string>UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight</string>
</array>
Step2
Set a new flag in DetailViewController.m or .h (from SplitView Template)
BOOL lockRotation = NO; //WORK-ARROUND: Bug ID# 8620135.
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
//WORK-ARROUND: Bug ID# 8620135.
if (lockRotation) {
return UIInterfaceOrientationIsLandscape(interfaceOrientation);
}else{
return YES;
}
}
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
//set NO here since this is called before shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation method is called
lockRotation = NO; //WORK-ARROUND: Bug ID# 8620135.
}
- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated {
//set YES as soon as possible, but after shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation method was called
lockRotation = YES; //WORK-ARROUND: Bug ID# 8620135.
[super viewDidAppear:animated];
}
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Please note that this bug only appears when the UISplitViewController is loaded and not everytime
the its view appears. Hence, to see this bug make sure the app was terminated before.
I asked a question with a bounty of 500 that seems to be the same thing you're facing.
From my limited experience it is much easier to make a landscape-only iPhone app than a landscape-only iPad app. I'm not sure why there is any difference, but the steps Apple says to take to make it landscape-only do not work on their own.
Try this (it works):
-(BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation {
if(toInterfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight)
return YES;
}
else
{
return NO;
}
}
Check out this iPhone app in landscape mode, if you haven't already. I was going to suggest simply adding UISupportedInterfaceOrientations to your Info.plist and specifying the two landscape orientations. But, apparently, this is not sufficient, according to answers to cited question.
I believe this is a BUG, I faced this problem also. It is something to do with
UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft
To replicate this situation:
1) Create a new iPad project using UISplitViewController template
2) Edit info.plist
Supported interface orientations
-Landscape (left home button)
-Landscape (right home button)
3) DetailViewController.m
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
// return YES;
NSLog(#"RotateToInterface:[%d] vs LandscapeLeft[%d]", interfaceOrientation, UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft);
return interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft;
}
4) Run it....You will see a blank black view. and no matter how you turn. "UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft" never detected.
By the way, nacho4d's adding BOOL check work-around is working. Thumbs UP :)
