Titanium - Changing orientation between windows - ios

Question

I'm developing an application for ipad and iphone using Titanium. You can navigate between different views. 1st view (the main view where you can go to another views) will be only on portrait mode, the rest of views can be in any orientation.
For this, I use different windows:
var winPortrait = Ti.UI.createWindow({
orientationModes : [Ti.UI.PORTRAIT],
fullscreen : false,
navBarHidden : true,
backgroundColor : "#00669c",
});
var appWindow = Titanium.UI.createWindow({
width : Ti.UI.FILL,
height : Ti.UI.FILL,
fullscreen : false,
navBarHidden : true,
backgroundColor : "#00669c",
backgroundImage : "Default-Portrait.png",
orientationModes : [Ti.UI.PORTRAIT, Ti.UI.LANDSCAPE_LEFT, Ti.UI.LANDSCAPE_RIGHT]
});
This works ok. When I open each window, orientation changes works ok.
To explain my problem, I'm going to specify the steps I do to reproduce it.
I'm viewing a screen on landscape:
I click to go to main view (portrait only) with device in landscape.
Main view is shown in portrait mode.
I rotate the device to portrait.
I go to the view again with device in portrait:
If I change device orientation, I receive the orientation change event, app detects is landscape mode and draw elements like landscape, but window or view (I don't know) its drawing like portrait, so it doesn't adjust correctly:
This doesn't occur on ios 7, but when I've tried with ios 5.1, it happens (I doesn't have a device with ios 6.x to try it)
Do you know how can I solve it or is a SO problem?
Thank you very much.
UPDATE
This is a simplification of the code I use:
In app.js:
var appWindow = Titanium.UI.createWindow({
width : Ti.UI.FILL,
height : Ti.UI.FILL,
fullscreen : false,
navBarHidden : true,
backgroundColor : "#00669c",
backgroundImage : "Default-Portrait.png",
orientationModes : [Ti.UI.PORTRAIT, Ti.UI.LANDSCAPE_LEFT, Ti.UI.LANDSCAPE_RIGHT]
});
var winPortrait = Ti.UI.createWindow({
orientationModes : [Ti.UI.PORTRAIT],
fullscreen : false,
navBarHidden : true,
backgroundColor : "#00669c",
});
var openView = function(e) {
currentView = e.win;
if (winPortraitHomeOpened && e.win != 'Home') {
appWindow.backgroundImage = '';
appWindow.addEventListener('open', function() {
//alert("appwindowopen")
if (appWindow != null) {
appWindow.height = Ti.UI.FILL;
appWindow.width = Ti.UI.FILL;
}
});
appWindow.open();
}
// Dependiendo de la vista, abre una ventana u otra
if (e.win == 'Home') {
winPortrait.open();
winPortraitHomeOpened = true;
setTimeout(function() {
var Home = require('/views/Home2');
activeView = Home.Constructor(winPortrait);
addActiveViewCloseWin();
}, 10);
} else if (e.win == 'test') {
var Test = require('/views/test/test');
activeView = Test.Constructor(appWindow, true);
}
if (currentView != 'Home') {
addActiveViewCloseWin();
}
};
var addActiveViewCloseWin = function() {
var anim_invisible = Titanium.UI.createAnimation({
opacity : 0,
duration : 300
});
var anim_visible = Titanium.UI.createAnimation({
opacity : 1,
duration : 300
});
if (winPortraitHomeOpened && currentView == 'Home') {
winPortrait.add(activeView);
} else {
appWindow.add(activeView);
}
if (lastActiveView != null) {
Trace.info("lastActiveView != null");
lastActiveView.animate(anim_invisible);
setTimeout(function() {
activeView.animate(anim_visible);
lastActiveView.close();
lastActiveView = activeView;
}, 300);
} else {
activeView.animate(anim_visible);
lastActiveView = activeView;
}
activeView.updateOrientation();
setTimeout(function() {
if (currentView == 'Home') {
appWindow.close();
} else {
if (winPortraitHomeOpened) {
winPortrait.close();
winPortraitHomeOpened = false;
}
}
}, 500);
};
Ti.Gesture.addEventListener('orientationchange', function(e) {
// Comprobar que ha cambiado de orientación. Se envían varios eventos juntos
var _currentOrientacion = 0;
if (utils.isLandscape())
_currentOrientacion = 1;
if (_currentOrientacion == orientacion) {
return;
}
orientacion = _currentOrientacion;
// Se actualiza las dimensiones y la orientación de los elementos
if (!winPortraitHomeOpened && !winPortraitConfOpened) {
if (appWindow != null) {
appWindow.height = Ti.UI.FILL;
appWindow.width = Ti.UI.FILL;
}
}
if (activeView != null) {
activeView.updateOrientation();
}
});
The code of Test.js:
exports.Constructor = function(parent) {
var view = Ti.UI.createView({
height : utils.getScreenHeight(),
width : utils.getScreenWidth(),
backgroundColor : 'red'
});
var cabeceraView = Cabecera.Constructor(view);
view.add(cabeceraView);
cabeceraView.setTitle('Prueba');
var backButton = Ti.UI.createImageView({
image : utils.imagesFolder() + "common/returnHome.png",
//top : view.height / 4,
left : utils.todp(8),
height : utils.todp(25),
width : utils.todp(65)
});
view.add(backButton);
backButton.addEventListener('click', function() {
openView({
win : 'Home'
});
});
var updateFechaCabecera = function() {
fechaView.setFecha('XXXX-XX-XX');
};
view.updateFechaCabecera = updateFechaCabecera;
var fechaView = Fecha.Constructor(view);
view.add(fechaView);
updateFechaCabecera();
// Vista ocupa todo salvo cabecera y fecha
var mainView = Ti.UI.createView({
height : utils.getScreenHeight() - utils.getCabeceraHeight() - utils.getFechaHeight(),
width : '100%',
top : utils.getCabeceraHeight() + utils.getFechaHeight(),
backgroundColor : "transparent",
});
view.add(mainView);
// Create a Label.
var aLabel = Ti.UI.createLabel({
text : 'aLabel',
color : 'pink',
font : {
fontSize : 40
},
textAlign : 'center'
});
// Add to the parent view.
mainView.add(aLabel);
var updateOrientation = function() {
Trace.info("updateOrientation de interconexines height width " + utils.getScreenHeight() + ' ' + utils.getScreenWidth());
view.height = utils.getScreenHeight();
view.width = utils.getScreenWidth();
if (utils.isPortrait()) {
aLabel.text = "PORTRAIT";
} else {
aLabel.text = "LANDSCAPE";
}
};
view.updateOrientation = updateOrientation;
var cerrar = function() {
Trace.info('cerrar Template');
view.visible = false;
view.hide();
if (cabeceraView != null) {
cabeceraView.close();
view.remove(cabeceraView);
cabeceraView = null;
}
if (fechaView != null) {
fechaView.close();
view.remove(fechaView);
fechaView = null;
}
// Eliminamos los elementos de la vista
if (view != null) {
utils.removeChildrens(view);
parent.remove(view);
};
view = null;
};
view.close = cerrar;
return view;
};

Have you tried to remove orientationModes in var winPortrait?
Your code should look like this:
var winPortrait = Ti.UI.createWindow({
fullscreen : false,
navBarHidden : true,
backgroundColor : "#00669c",
});
