Orientation Landscape -> Portrait isn't working - ios

I have another orientation problem. But this one is very tricky.
My RootViewController is a normal NavigationController.
self.window.rootViewController = _naviController;
which has another ViewController inside, lets call it VC1.
VC1 has some buttons and labels. Its like an overview with folders.
If I press a button I come to the next ViewController with 3 ViewController (Page) and another bunch of buttons (like inside a folder looking at the pictures/thumbnails inside):
Archiv *archiv = [[Archiv alloc] init];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:archiv animated:YES];
[archiv release];
in loadView:
firstPage = [[Page alloc] initViewWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 768, 960)];
[firstPage setRootViewController:self];
secondPage = [[Page alloc] initViewWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, -960, 768, 960)];
[secondPage setRootViewController:self];
thirdPage = [[Page alloc] initViewWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 960, 768, 960)];
[thirdPage setRootViewController:self];
If I now click again on a button the active Page push my third ViewController (image with resizing, dragging...):
Picture *pic = [[Picture alloc] initWithPicURLString:urlString];
[rootViewController.navigationController pushViewController:pic animated:YES];
[pic release];
With the BackButton of the NavigationController I can always come back to the previous view.
Some more informations:
Every ViewController supports all orientations
Every ViewController implements - (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation with return YES;
Every ViewControler calls the [super init] in their init-methode
I already read Apple's Q&A: Why won't my UIViewController rotate with the device
Now the tricky problem:
If I switch from 2nd VC to the 3rd VC, change the orientation there from portrait to landscape and press the BackButton everything is working (shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation is calling, frame size and origins changing ...).
BUT if I do it the other way around, I am in landscape mode, switch from 2nd VC to 3rd VC, rotate to portrait and come back to 2nd VC with BackButton, the status- and controllerBar are at the top but the shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation wasn't called.
Please help me. $h#rky

Try this, it works for me:
-(void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
[super viewWillAppear:animated];
[self shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:[[UIApplication sharedApplication] statusBarOrientation] ];
}

Today I got the idea that solved the problem without knowing the cause.
In my third VC I just created a pointer to the 2nd View and called the shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation myself.
But the point is still the same: Why isn't shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation not calling in the described situation?
Kind regards. $h#rky

shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation only called when user rotate, so when you from landscape to portrait or otherwise then view controller still landscape, so this solve problem, you have to hack code, it's mean when you push to view controller from landscape to portrait presentViewController example:
ListCurrentViewController *list = [self.storyboard
instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"ListCurrentViewController"];
[self.navigationController presentViewController:list animated:NO completion:Nil];
[list dismissViewControllerAnimated:NO completion:Nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:list animated:YES];
in ListViewController function called:
(UIInterfaceOrientation)preferredInterfaceOrientationForPresentation // iOS 6 autorotation fix { return UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait; }
and you have to create category for UINavigationController
(UIInterfaceOrientation)preferredInterfaceOrientationForPresentation {
return [self.visibleViewController preferredInterfaceOrientationForPresentation];
}
I hope this solve will help you.

Black Screen After Dismissing Modal Controller

I've discovered that after dismissing a modal view controller that's presented fullscreen in a compact view and as a popover in a horizontally regular view, the screen goes black after the animation.
My View Hierarchy is the following
View (of my rootViewController on the window)
--->UISplitViewController.view ( set as a child viewController )
--------> rootViewController.view (set as the mainViewController of the splitView)
--------> detailViewController.view (set as the detailViewController of the split view)
Via the iPhone 6 simulator(split view is always collapsed) I present a modal viewcontroller with the following code:
UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:viewController];
[navigationController.navigationBar setBarStyle:UIBarStyleBlack];
[navigationController setModalPresentationStyle:UIModalPresentationPopover];
navigationController.popoverPresentationController.sourceView = view;
navigationController.popoverPresentationController.barButtonItem = barButtonItem;
navigationController.popoverPresentationController.delegate = self;
[self presentViewController:nav animated:YES completion:nil];
I dissmiss the presented controller from that viewController by calling:
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:true completion:nil];
If I set animated to "false" I dont have any problems, but it looks bad and doesnt make sense.
I see some posts regarding this and custom presenatation methods, but I'm not using anything custom here.
On iPhone the ModalPresentationStyle should default to UIModalPresentationOverFullScreen, so I tried setting the presentationStyle directly to that, and it worked!
If I set the presentationStyle to "FullScreen" (not over fullscreen) I get the same behavior, a black screen after dismissing.
Any thoughts or experiences on this one?
I've come up with the following work around, but I still don't think it should be needed.
- (UIModalPresentationStyle)adaptivePresentationStyleForPresentationController:(UIPresentationController *)controller traitCollection:(UITraitCollection *)traitCollection{
if( traitCollection.horizontalSizeClass == UIUserInterfaceSizeClassCompact )
{
return UIModalPresentationOverFullScreen;
}
else
{
return UIModalPresentationPopover;
}
}

Disable UITableViewcontroller from rotating in Landscape (keep it Portrait orientation)

I'm trying to keep UITableViewcontroller in Portrait orientation. Hence, I don't want to rotate to Landscape mode. I added below method. But it didn't help, notice I'm using iOS 8:
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
// Return YES for supported orientations
if(interfaceOrientation== UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait)
{
return YES;
}else
{
return NO;
}
}
Notice, I'm calling the UITableView through UINavigationController
UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc]
initWithRootViewController:svc];
// configure the new view controller explicitly here.
[self presentViewController:navigationController animated:YES completion: nil];
You can set the enabled orientation interface in the Info.plist or, if you want only the Table in this way, you have to modify manually the supportInterfaceOrientation in the navigationController when you are presenting the view. The 'child' will assume the values from the navigationController. Then, when you dismiss the table, you have to reset the supportInterfaceOrientation manually.

UITableViewController subView rotation

I'm new to stackoverflow and to objective-C programming. I have searched for the issue described below, but I'm not able to find a working solution.
My application is a simple offline browsing app, with navigation structure.
In the appDelegate I load the RootViewController (UITableViewController) in one of the following ways:
Solution A
[window addSubview:navigationController.view];
[window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
Solution B
RootViewController* rootviewcontroller = [[RootViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"RootViewController" bundle:nil];
navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:rootviewcontroller];
The rootViewController simply push some views, i.e.
TipAndTrickViewController *mTipAndTrick = [[TipAndTrickViewController alloc]initWithNibName:#"TipAndTrickViewController" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:mTipAndTrick animated:YES];
In the deeper view I present a detail modalView (UIViewController).
What I want is to enable autorotate only in this last view. The portait orientation is the desired for all the previoues wiews. The last view implements in the right way:
shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:interfaceOrientation
shouldAutorotate
willRotateToInterfaceOrientation:toInterfaceOrientation
duration:duration
willAnimateRotationToInterfaceOrientation:interfaceOrientation
duration:duration
Overriding
shouldAutorotate
shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:interfaceOrientation
making them returning NO/YES in the rootViewController and setting the allowed orientation in the desired way, using
supportedInterfaceOrientations
(both in rootViewCOntroller and in the last view), I get those results:
if I use Solution A all the views don't rotate.
if I use Solution B all the views always rotate.
What I'm doing in the wrong way?
Thank you in advance for your help
Add these to your viewController and let me know if it works or not .
// iOS5 Rotation
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
return YES;
}
// iOS6 Rotation
- (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations
{
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAll;
}
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotate
{
return YES;
}

Showing UINavigationController in a Modal segue (ViewController)?

I have now been stuck on this problem for more then 2 weeks! In my project, I have 1 single ViewController(slide) I want to enable both landscape and portrait in. The rest of all controllers/views(slides) I want to enable portrait-mode only.
The tricky part is, the "ViewController" I am referring to is connected to both NavigationControllers and TabBarControllers. See the scheme below where the ViewController I want to enable both landscape/portrait is named: ReferredViewController.
TabBarController ----> NavigationController ----> FristViewController --(push event)--> ReferredViewController
So far I have tried to make a CATEGORY for both NavigationControllers and TabBarControllers. But since my NavigationControllers and TabBarControllers are placed at the very start of the project this will set the rules for the whole project. My ReferredViewController is placed at the end or in the middle of the projects "storyboard". I have tried to set the rules by code aswell for the single ReferredViewController without any success.
My best shot is to change the event between FirstViewController and ReferredViewController from "push" to "modal". ReferredViewController can then rotate both portrait/landscape and the rest of the project is locked in portrait. BUT, as you may know all navigations (NavigationBar) will be lost and the user will become stuck at that single slide.
So I am trying to enable the NavigationBar with the following code example in the ReferredViewController.m file:
ShowTaskViewController *detailViewController = [[ShowTaskViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:detailViewController];
navController.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleCrossDissolve;
[self.navigationController presentModalViewController:navController animated:YES completion:nil];
[navController release];
[detailViewController release];
But ofc nothing happens and I am back to square one again :O. FML!
In this line:
[self.navigationController presentModalViewController:navController
animated:YES
completion:nil];
you are conflating two UIViewController instance methods:
- (void)presentViewController:(UIViewController *)viewControllerToPresent
animated:(BOOL)flag
completion:(void (^)(void))completion
- (void)presentModalViewController:(UIViewController *)modalViewController
animated:(BOOL)animated
The first of these is now the standard, the second method was deprecated in ios6.
Also the presenting view controller should be self (the ReferredViewController), not self's navigationController.
Your presented view controller can dismiss itself thus
[[self presentingViewController] dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES
completion:(void (^)(void))completion];
But take a look at fibnochi's answer, it may be a better way for you to achieve your result.
you have to over ride UITaBarController because it is you base view controller. I have done this for my navigation controller. Tell me if this helped.
#interface UINavigationController (Autorotation)
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation;
- (BOOL) shouldAutorotate;
- (NSUInteger) supportedInterfaceOrientations;
#end
#implementation UINavigationController (Autorotation)
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation{
if ([self.visibleViewController isKindOfClass:[MWPhotoBrowser class]] || [self.visibleViewController isKindOfClass:[ZoomPictureViewController class]]) {
return YES;
}
return (toInterfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait);
}
-(BOOL) shouldAutorotate{
return YES;
}
-(NSUInteger) supportedInterfaceOrientations{
if ([self.visibleViewController isKindOfClass:[MWPhotoBrowser class]] || [self.visibleViewController isKindOfClass:[ZoomPictureViewController class]]) {
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAll;
}
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait;
}

How does presented view controller init from current orientation (especially in landscape)?

I have one view controller, named AViewController. There is a button in AViewController. When the button is clicked, i will present another view controller,lets called BViewController. If AViewController is in portrait-orientation, it works well.If the orientation is in landscape, then the BViewController is still initialized in portrait but presented in landscape.
This is the problem. I wonder how can i init BViewController in current orientation. I use [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds in the BViewController's init. but the bounds is not in landscape if the device is in landscape. I know pass the frame from AViewController to BViewController, it may work. but i don't think this is a good solution. So is there any better ways?
the function to present BViewController is as follows:
- (void)BtnClicked
{
BViewController *bvc = [[BViewController alloc] init];
bvc.delegate = self;
bvc.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleCrossDissolve;
[self presentViewController:movie animated:YES completion:nil];
}
I still don't know how to do it efficiently. But i use one solution to call the willAnimateRotationToInterfaceOrientation method manually in viewDidAppear.
the snippet is as follows:
- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
[super viewDidAppear:animated];
[self willAnimateRotationToInterfaceOrientation:[UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarOrientation duration:0];
}
