interfaceOrientation iPad - ios

I'm doing my version app for iPhone, iPhone pro version in the app only works on vision "Portrait" version but it will be the iPad Landscape vision, look what I've done so far:
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
if (UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad) {
return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft);
}
else{
return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait);
}
it detects whether iPhone and if it is, will be in Landscape in any position is that the iPad, iPhone pro is the opposite.
I have not succeeded, did not work.
someone already did something similar? Basically what I want is simple, iPhone == Portrait, iPad == Landscape;
I tried to implement in my project but still always with the view in portrait mode on both the iphone and ipad,
I get this error in debug:
The view controller returned NO from -shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation: for all interface orientations. It should support at least one orientation.

Give this a try.
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
if ([[UIDevice currentDevice] userInterfaceIdiom] == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone) {
return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait);
} else {
return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft) || (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight);
}
}
works fine for me!

Restrict Autorotate to Landscape for iOS 5 in Xcode 5

I am working on app and developing on Xcode 5. App is for iPad from iOS 5 to iOS 7 support. I restrict app to Landscape Left and Right, which is defined in plist and Project settings.
Also defined by code
in App delegate
- (NSUInteger)application:(UIApplication *)application supportedInterfaceOrientationsForWindow:(UIWindow *)window
{
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscape;
}
In Classes
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft ||interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight);
}
- (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations{
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscape;
}
But what happened, It works fine on iOS 7 and iOS 6 but it always rotated to iOS 5 when device move portrait. I am stuck here how to restrict this only on Landscape. Kindly help me on this. Thanks in advance.
U can lock the orientation change.
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotate
{
if (autoRotate) {
return YES;
}
else
{
return NO;
}
}
Try with following code
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
if(interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft ||interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight)
return YES;
else
return NO;
}
By using above code is device is not rotate with portrait orientation.

iOS App: Window rotation always Portrait instead of Landscape

My app works only in Landscape.
Thus I set the Initial Orientation and Supported Orientation at LandScape Home Right.
However, initial launch orientation always becomes Portrait.
After navigating to next page and return, the orientation is correct.
This might be the similar question to the following, In IOS 6 on iPad, initial rotation is always portrait, after that it always rotates correctly
But the solution there is not working as the 'handleRotationFor' gives warning:
instanceMethod -handleRotationFor is not found (return type defaults to 'id')
How should I fix this error?
Please help
project Targets --> click on "Summary" tab and choose your Orientation in "Supported interfaces Orientations"
In Xcode in the files pane click on your project and then select target from right pane. Then in Summary tab see supported orientations. Only select Landscape right. Also you can implement
-(NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientation {
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscapeRight;
}
in your app delegate
In Xcode under summary tab make sure portrait and upside down are not pressed down. Also Add these three functions.
// *********************
// ios6 orientation support

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotate
{
UIInterfaceOrientation interfaceOrientation = [[UIDevice currentDevice] orientation];
if (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait)
{
return NO;
}
else if (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown)
{
return NO;
}
else
{
return YES;
}
}
-(NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations
{
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscape;
}
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
if (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait || interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown)

}
else

return YES;
}
}
Check the supported orientations in the info.plist of the app. Check and set orientations in the nib file as well.
You can check orientations by using [[UIDevice currentDevice] orientation]

i designed my nib in land scape mode, but in simulator it is showing in portrait mode?

i designed my nib in land scape mode with buttons and images, but in simulator it is showing in landscape mode but the button and images are not as it looks on the nib, they appear to be on right hand side instead of on top? any pointers please.

If you want this view controller to be limited to a certain orientation use in your view controller class
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft) || (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight);
}
please read my answer here Keep iPhone rotation in landscape?
How you design the view (portrait/landscape) in interface builder has no influence over how it will actually be shown. You need to set that in code (or possibly in a p-list).
Use this code
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
return YES;
}
- (void)willAnimateRotationToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation duration:(NSTimeInterval)duration
{
if (toInterfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft ||
toInterfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight)
{
NSLog(#"Landscape Mode");
// your code when your sdk is in landscape mode
}
else
{
NSLog(#"Portrait Mode");
// your code here
}
}

UIInterfaceOrentation on iPad

I have an app that is a game, and it does not look or work right in Landscape.
Right now My code is:
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
// Overriden to allow any orientation.
return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait);
}
And that allows it only to run in portrait (home button on bottom) and I want it to run in both Portrait's (Home button on bottom OR top) so apple accepts it.
I have tried:
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
// Overriden to allow any orientation.
return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown);
return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait);
}
and it didnt work...
Can someone give me the Code to make it so it runs in both portrait modes.
You can only return once, so the second return statement is never evaluated. Make it a boolean OR:
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
// Overriden to allow any orientation.
return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown) || (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait);
}
There are also macros for portrait and landscape, but this should work just fine.

iPad Orientation Question - One Orientation or All four - can't just get two to work

I've got an iPad app that I absolutely need to have in just landscape, I know the situation on the suggestions but for this app it needs to be landscape.
Now here's my problem.
I have editted my .plist file to support both landscape left and landscape right in the appropriate manner and have put an autorotate snippet into my code, however if I have this
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
// Return YES for supported orientations
/*if (autorotateOrientation && tapViewOrientation != interfaceOrientation && !insecureKeyboardWarningDialog) {
tapViewOrientation = interfaceOrientation;
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setInteger:tapViewOrientation forKey:kDefaultKeyTapViewOrientation];
*/
return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft);
[self prepareTapView];
// return NO;
}
I get only landscape left (obviously)
if I have this
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
// Return YES for supported orientations
/*if (autorotateOrientation && tapViewOrientation != interfaceOrientation && !insecureKeyboardWarningDialog) {
tapViewOrientation = interfaceOrientation;
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setInteger:tapViewOrientation forKey:kDefaultKeyTapViewOrientation];
*/
return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft, UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight);
[self prepareTapView];
// return NO;
}
I get all four orientations. Now I could just come upw tih an option for the portrait orientations however truth be told it would be ugly and non functional hence my desire to work for landscape only in this particular instance.
Can anyone suggest what I'm doing wrong and how to limit myself to landscape only, but both forms of landscape?
return UIInterfaceOrientationIsLandscape(interfaceOrientation);
