Using only landscape in objective C?

I have a video app,but I would like it to stay only in landscape orientation

When in landscape it looks like this:

enter image description here

But when I turn around, it picks Portrait orientation and looks like this:

enter image description here

it would only stay in the Landscape orientation, already tried and tried many things I have seen and nothing has worked, someone help me?

[UPDATE]

Need only a view not use the orientation PORTRAIT, somebody already had this problem?

Does anyone have any other ideas? nothing worked here

[UPDATE] -> 30/09/2015

my solution:

in AppDelegate.m I use this: 

-(NSUInteger)application:(UIApplication *)application supportedInterfaceOrientationsForWindow:(UIWindow *)window
{
    if(self.restrictRotation == YES)
        return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscape;
    else
        return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAll;
}

AppDelegate.h :

@property () BOOL restrictRotation;

where I want to stay only landscape I used it (videoViewController.m) :

in viewDidLoad

[self restrictRotation:YES];

        NSNumber *value = [NSNumber numberWithInt:UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight];
        [[UIDevice currentDevice] setValue:value forKey:@"orientation"];

and add method:

-(void) restrictRotation:(BOOL) restriction
{
    AppDelegate* appDelegate = (AppDelegate*)[UIApplication sharedApplication].delegate;
    appDelegate.restrictRotation = restriction;
}

remember if the #import "AppDelegate.h" in videoViewController.h

and the views that you do not want is locked in landscape add:

in viewDidLoad:

[self restrictRotation:YES];

and method:

-(void) restrictRotation:(BOOL) restriction
    {
        AppDelegate* appDelegate = (AppDelegate*)[UIApplication sharedApplication].delegate;
        appDelegate.restrictRotation = restriction;
    }

Problem SOLVED! thx all

You can set transform angle for player screen/Player parent view to show always in landscape mode.

Add this block of code in view did load method to show in landscape mode.

UIInterfaceOrientation orientation = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] statusBarOrientation];
if (orientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait || orientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown) {
    [[self view] setBounds:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.height, self.view.frame.size.width)];
    CGFloat radians = atan2f(self.view.transform.b, self.view.transform.a);
    if (radians!=M_PI / 2) {
        [[self view] setTransform:CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(M_PI / 2)];

    }
}

and add this method to always show in landscape mode on device rotation.

- (void)didRotateFromInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)fromInterfaceOrientation{


UIInterfaceOrientation orientation = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] statusBarOrientation];

if (orientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait || orientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown) {
    [[self view] setBounds:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.height, self.view.frame.size.width)];
    CGFloat radians = atan2f(self.view.transform.b, self.view.transform.a);
    if (radians!=M_PI / 2) {
        [[self view] setTransform:CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(M_PI / 2)];
    }



}else{

    [[self view] setBounds:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.width, self.view.frame.size.height)];
    CGFloat radians = atan2f(self.view.transform.b, self.view.transform.a);
    if (radians!=M_PI*2) {
       [[self view] setTransform:CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(M_PI*2)];
    }

}

}

In your AppDelegate.m add this method :

- (UIInterfaceOrientationMask)application:(UIApplication *)application supportedInterfaceOrientationsForWindow:(UIWindow *)window
{
    return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscape;
}

This method determines which interface orientations are supported application wide , so if you return (UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscape) the app will work only in landscape mode regardless of the supported orientations in any content View Controller , and the supported orientations in any content View Controller should only be a subset of the supported ones in AppDelegate.m.

if you want the landscape orientation to be forced in one View Controller only , then in AppDelegate.m :

- (UIInterfaceOrientationMask)application:(UIApplication *)application supportedInterfaceOrientationsForWindow:(UIWindow *)window
{
     return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAll;
}

and in the Video VC :

-(UIInterfaceOrientationMask)supportedInterfaceOrientations
{
    return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscape;
}

and finally present the Video VC using :

[self presentViewController:videoVC animated:YES completion:nil];

You can do this in 2 possible way

1.) enter image description here

2.) By programmatically

-(BOOL)shouldAutorotate{
return YES;

}
-(NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations{
        return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscape;
}

This you need to do in you NavigationController Class it looks you are using NavigationBar.

If not then use it in your ViewController
