iOS - Force Landscape Orientation - ios

I've been trying to figure this out for a while now and its possibly a duplicate but I haven't found a correct solution. So I've created a view controller and the build the xib in landscape mode. When I try to push the view controller, it displays as Portrait but I want it to show up landscape. I've added the following methods to my code:
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotate {
return YES;
}
-(NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations
{
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscapeRight | UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscapeLeft;
}
- (UIInterfaceOrientation)preferredInterfaceOrientationForPresentation
{
return UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight;
}
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight || interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft);
}
Any help is appreciated!

Orientation Portrait in navigation Controller

I try to force navigationController to be in orientation Portrait on my application. But I solved the problem by subclassing the navigationController class by this way :
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotate
{
if (self.visibleViewController && [self.visibleViewController respondsToSelector:#selector(shouldAutorotate)])
{
return [self.visibleViewController shouldAutorotate];
}
return YES;
}
- (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations
{
if (self.visibleViewController && [self.visibleViewController respondsToSelector:#selector(supportedInterfaceOrientations)])
{
return [self.visibleViewController supportedInterfaceOrientations];
}
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait;
}
So all my controller inherits to this. But my problem is when I start my application with my iPhone in landscape mode, my viewController not respect the interfaceorientationlandscape. But when I turn my iPhone it's works and not change if the orientation changes.
I search how can I force my orientation to change if is not in portrait in viewDidLoad or if possible in viewDidAppear.
If you want to have this app-wide
You can get there by clicking on the corresponding menu item:
Otherwise if you want to set this for one ViewController only
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotate {
return YES; // or NO
}
- (UIInterfaceOrientation)preferredInterfaceOrientationForPresentation {
return UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft; // or UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight or UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait
}
- (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations {
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscape; // or UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait
}

ios7 interface orientation - restrict orientation to particular viewcontroller

I have two UIViewControllers in my UINavigationController stack, in which i need to support portrait and landscape orientations for the first viewController alone and for the second viewController, i need portrait support alone and not landscape.
In ViewController1, I have implemented the following methods,
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotate
{
return YES;
}
- (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations
{
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAll;
}
-(void)willAnimateRotationToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation duration:(NSTimeInterval)duration
{
[self changeFrames:toInterfaceOrientation]; //changing frames for orientation accordingly
}
and in ViewController2:
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait);
}
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotate
{
return NO;
}
- (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations
{
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait;
}
Also in project target, i have set to support all the 4 orientations.
Looking for any kind of help to solve the above issue.
Thanks in Advance.

Lock the orientation for only the main UIViewController - iOS

I would like to know how I could lock the orientation for my main View Controller but allow my users to rotate to landscape for all the View Controllers?
Thanks in Advance!
For MainViewController:
-(NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations
{
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait;
}
Other ViewControllers
-(NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations
{
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscape;
}
- (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations {
UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait
}
The default for iPad is
UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAll
while the iPhone default is
UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAllButUpsideDown
you shouldn't need to implement anything else on your other view controllers
This may help you..
-(BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait);
}
-(BOOL)shouldAutorotate{
return NO;
}
- (UIInterfaceOrientation)preferredInterfaceOrientationForPresentation{
return UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait;
}

Locking the Landscape Mode in iPad

I am using this code to lock the landscape mode for my iOS application.
#pragma mark Orientation handling
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAllButUpsideDown);
}
-(BOOL)shouldAutorotate
{
return YES;
}
-(NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations
{
return (UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait | UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortraitUpsideDown);
}
It is working fine in iPhone but it is not working correctly in iPad. It does not lock the landscape mode.
Need some guidance on this.
This code is incorrect:
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAllButUpsideDown);
}
A UIInterfaceOrientation is not a UIInterfaceOrientationMask. Try something like this instead:
return (interfaceOrientation != UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown);
That being said, if you are trying to lock your application into landscape mode, there are multiple other issues here — for instance, your supportedInterfaceOrientations lists only portrait modes, not landscape!
Ideally just set it in the summary tab as the comment says. If you really want to do this in code, this is only available in whatever you set as the rootViewController in your AppDelegate class.
In iOS 6 I use:
- (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations {
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscape;
}
If you have a NavigationController you can add the method to a Category.
I use:
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
return interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft ||
interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight;
}

Rotation isn't working in iOS5 Storyboard

I'm working on a storyboard app and the rotation works on iOS6 devices but when I run it on my iOS5 device it won't rotate. I have a View Controller embedded in a Navigation Controller (so the Navigation Controller is the root view controller of the window) and I have the following methods overridden:
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotate
{
return YES;
}
- (UIInterfaceOrientation)preferredInterfaceOrientationForPresentation
{
return UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight;
}
- (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations
{
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscapeRight|UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscapeLeft|UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait;
}
-(BOOL)shouldAutoRotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
if ((interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft) || (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight) || (interfaceOrientation ==UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait)){
return YES;
} else {
return NO;
}
}
I also have the 3 orientations allowed in my plist, and my deployment target is iOS5 with the base SDK iOS6 and autolayout is turned off, and ideas why this isnt working?
Thank you!
Your comment caused me to look closer. It's because you have a capital 'R' in autorotation.
Change your method name to:
shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:
