Cocos2d - Setting Device/Screen Orientation

I am new to the cocos2d API and have noticed that there are a few ways to set the screens orientation within the templates. I have not been able to figure out the correct way to set my orientation to LandscapeRight and keep it that way throughout the entire game. How do I change my orientation so that it maintains LandscapeRight? Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

if you added shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation and not solved your problem

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
    return UIInterfaceOrientationIsLandscape(interfaceOrientation);
}

THEN Try to add this line to appDelegate.m

[window_ setRootViewController:navController_];

Good Luck

The correct answer - took me a while to find - is in the info.plist, change the supported interface orientations values, item 0 and item 1 have 4 possible values, Portrait (top home button) etc.

The answer here has changed with cocos2d 2.0, as CCDirector is now a ViewController on iOS:

CCDirector no longer supports device orientation. All autorotation and device orientation is handled by RootViewController now. Fortunately, [[UIDevice currentDevice] orientation] can be used in place of [[CCDirector sharedDirector] deviceOrientation]. The enums are the same, except that they begin with UI instead of CC.

Forcing a specific orientation is a simple matter of returning YES only to the desired orientation in the RootViewController method shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation.

In the RootViewController.m,search for the line

return ( UIInterfaceOrientationIsPortrait(interfaceOrientation ));

change it to

return ( UIInterfaceOrientationIsLandscape(interfaceOrientation ));

Modify GameConfig.h from the cocos2d template.

#define GAME_AUTOROTATION kGameAutorotationNone
/* original code is kGameAutorotationUIViewController. */

And modify AppDelegate.m as well.

#if GAME_AUTOROTATION == kGameAutorotationUIViewController
    [director setDeviceOrientation:kCCDeviceOrientationPortrait];
#else
    [director setDeviceOrientation:kCCDeviceOrientationLandscapeRight];
    /* original code is "Left". */
#endif

Use this line:

[[CCDirector sharedDirector] setDeviceOrientation:kkCCDeviceOrientationLandscapeRight];
