Problem with Landscape and Portrait view in a TabBar Application - iphone

Question

I have an TabBar app that I would like to be in landscape and portrait. The issue is when I go to tab 2 make a selection from my table then select tab 1 and rotate the device, then select tab 2 again the content does not know that the device rotated and will not display my custom orientated content correctly. I am trying to write a priovate method that tells the view what orientation it is currently in. IN viewDidLoad I am assuming it is in portrait but in shouldAutoRotate I have it looking in the private method for the correct alignment of the content. Please Help!! Here is my code:
#import "DetailViewController.h"
#import "ScheduleTableViewController.h"
#import "BrightcoveDemoAppDelegate.h"
#import "Constants.h"
#implementation DetailViewController
#synthesize CurrentLevel, CurrentTitle, tableDataSource,logoName,showDescription,showDescriptionInfo,showTime, showTimeInfo, tableBG;
- (void)layoutSubviews {
showLogo.frame = CGRectMake(40, 20, 187, 101);
showDescription.frame = CGRectMake(85, 140, 330, 65);
showTime.frame = CGRectMake(130, 10, 149, 119);
tableBG.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 480, 320);
}
/*
// The designated initializer. Override if you create the controller programmatically and want to perform customization that is not appropriate for viewDidLoad.
- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil {
if (self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil]) {
// Custom initialization
}
return self;
}
*/
/*
// Implement loadView to create a view hierarchy programmatically, without using a nib.
- (void)loadView {
}
*/
// Implement viewDidLoad to do additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
self.navigationItem.title = CurrentTitle;
[showDescription setEditable:NO];
//show the description
showDescription.text = showDescriptionInfo;
showTime.text = showTimeInfo;
NSString *Path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath];
NSString *ImagePath = [Path stringByAppendingPathComponent:logoName];
UIImage *tempImg = [[UIImage alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:ImagePath];
[showLogo setImage:tempImg];
[tempImg release];
[self masterView];
}
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
return YES;
}
- (void)willAnimateRotationToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation duration:(NSTimeInterval)duration
{
isLandscape = UIInterfaceOrientationIsLandscape(toInterfaceOrientation);
if(isLandscape = YES){
[self layoutSubviews];
}
}
- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning {
// Releases the view if it doesn't have a superview.
[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
// Release any cached data, images, etc that aren't in use.
}
- (void)viewDidUnload {
// Release any retained subviews of the main view.
// e.g. self.myOutlet = nil;
}
- (void)dealloc {
[logoName release];
[showLogo release];
[showDescription release];
[showDescriptionInfo release];
[super dealloc];
}

I believe that you need to pass the -shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation: method to each view controller. You could do something like this in your UITabBarController:
- ( BOOL )shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:( UIInterfaceOrientation )
interfaceOrientation
{
for ( UIViewController *viewController in [ self viewControllers ])
[ viewController
shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:interfaceOrientation ];
return YES;
}
