iphone Orientation issue..

I am getting an issue regarding to iphone screen orientation. My application's base sdk is ios 6.0, deployment target is 4.3 and running on ios 5.0 and 5.1

In application's plist file I set Portrait (bottom home button), Landscape (left home button) and Landscape (right home button). I am developing an Universal app. So in every view's - (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation method I am conditionally returning portrait for iphone and both landscape for ipad.

My navigation flow is :

An UINavigatinController pushing UITableViewControler first tab have UINavigationController pusing 2 views one by one on the rootViewController.

In my last viewController's - (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation method I returned YES. But the app this view is not being rotate at all. Not even calling - (void)willRotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation duration:(NSTimeInterval)duration method. :(

My requirement is to support both landscape and portrait orientation to only one viewController not to whole app.

Please help me.

You should implement all these methods to make it work for all the devices having ios >= 4.3 version..

// Autorotation (iOS <= 5.x)

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
        return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft||interfaceOrientation==UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight||interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait) ;
}


// Autorotation (iOS >= 6.0)

- (BOOL) shouldAutorotate
{
    return YES;
}


-(NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations
{
    return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait | UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscapeLeft | UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscapeRight;
}

You can solve this Orientation Issue by this code in View Controller Class.

#ifdef IOS_OLDER_THAN_6
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation {

       return (toInterfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft) || 
(toInterfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight);

}
#endif

#ifdef IOS_NEWER_OR_EQUAL_TO_6
-(BOOL)shouldAutorotate {

       return YES;
}
- (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations {
       return (UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft | UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight); //IOS_5
}
#endif

You have to define this code in .pch file.

Code :

 #define IOS_OLDER_THAN_6  ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] < 6.0)
 #define IOS_NEWER_OR_EQUAL_TO_6 ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 6.0)

Hopefully, It works.

Thanks.

 -(void)willRotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation duration:(NSTimeInterval)duration
{
    if(toInterfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait || toInterfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown)

  // setFrames=CGRectMake(x, y, w, h);

}

How many UIViewController do you have? Maybe a 2, 3 or more.

Try at each viewcontroller add a code

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:    (UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
NSLog(@"viewcontroller: %@", self);
return YES;
}

and you will know, which view controller takes a rotate notification. It seems problem im Modal view controller.

For iOS 6, use supportedInterfaceOrientations & shouldAutorotate instead of shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:

- (NSUInteger) supportedInterfaceOrientations {
    return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscape; (Check for device type here and return appropriate orientations)
}

- (BOOL) shouldAutorotate {
   return YES;
}
