Im facing an issue that I don't know if it's possible to solve I need to develop something that looks like this for iPhone, Ipad
iPad:
iPhone:
How can I accomplish this?
On iPhone the only way to get the SplitView to look like an iPad's is if the device is flipped sideways. It won't preserve the solid header on the Navigation Controller. There are a few topics Here and
Here that might be able to help you a little more.
Theres some code indicated that might be what you are looking for to help you preserve the solid header, but as far as I know there's no way to do it on iPhone - at least in Portrait orientation. I'm thinking that this code might fix your problem, but I havent tested it yet...
Put the following in you Master View controller:
self.splitViewController!.delegate = self;
self.splitViewController!.preferredDisplayMode = UISplitViewControllerDisplayMode.AllVisible
self.extendedLayoutIncludesOpaqueBars = true
Under ios 8 using presentViewController modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStylePartialCurl disappear all page.
I want it to work like ios 7.
I had the same issue and I applied this fix, it worked for me on iOS 8 and Xcode 6.
[_mapToolbarController setModalTransitionStyle:UIModalTransitionStylePartialCurl];
[self presentViewController:_mapToolbarController animated:YES completion:^{
[_mapToolbarController.view.superview addSubview:self.view];
}];
Obviously, _mapToolbarController will be the controller that you want to present. To see why you'd need this, add a breakpoint at the line in the completion handler. Do the animation, and you'll see in the completion handler that the curling animation had just finished and everything was perfectly fine. For some reason that I can't explain, in iOS 8 you'll need to tell the iOS framework to "keep" the curled view and make sure it doesn't get thrown away. The code in the completion handler tries to "keep" the soon-to-be-faded curled view onto the screen. Note that in this context, self.view is the view that is being curled.
You can always try to make your own transitions with iOS 7. Have a look HERE
Well, I am not proud of the fix I came up with but it works just fine and took me little time to do it.
I managed to get a screen shot of the page curl at the stage that I wanted it to remain. It took a few tries but I got it. Then I took that image into Pixelmator and cropped it to just the page curl portion, made everything else transparent, smudged out the extraneous artifacts like the battery indicator, signal bars and time.
I imported that image in 320, 640 and 960 widths then insert it at the top of my presented view at load time. It came out virtually perfect. I cannot tell the difference from what I had before. Works exactly as I wanted it.
I was given a project that was started by someone else who no longer works here.
I have a UITabBarController which holds some UIViewControllers.
If the application is running on iOS 6, everything runs fine, However as soon as I run it on iOS 5, all UIViews are rotated 90 degrees and given an origin value of something around -100 to -300
I have been able to loop through all view controllers of the tabBar and set
myView.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(0.0);
myView setFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,1024,748);
The initial view controllers on UITabBarController appear correctly, However, if I ever try to launch a modal view controller, everything is stuffed again. including the modal.
I am running out of ideas on how I could fix this once and for all. I couldn't find anything in the code that rotates the views.
What I could deduce is
on iOS 6, the first subview of the main view holding the UITabBarController is UILayoutContainerView
but on iOS 5 the first subview is of class UIView
If this is an issue with UILayoutContainerView not being supported in iOS5, how can I make the application backwards compatible now?
Note: we only support Landscape (Right/Left) and only on iPad.
Also, I have noticed that if the user rotates the application before initialiazing the UITabBarController and its sub controllers. everything works fine. Even if you re-run the application and not rotate again, still works.
Thanks in advance
If you want your application to stick in landscape mode you the blow code, the issue resides in iOS 5, many people face this issue
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
BOOL returningValue=NO;
if (interfaceOrientation==UIInterfaceOrientationIsPortrait(interfaceOrientation))
{
returningValue=NO;
}
else if(UIInterfaceOrientationIsLandscape(interfaceOrientation))
{
returningValue=YES;
}
return returningValue;
}
Apparently, this is where I went wrong
For iOS 5
when setting the view of the main window of the application, one must use
[self.window addSubview: tabBarController.view];
Instead of (iOS6 only)
[self.window setRootViewController: tabBarController];
I am unsure how that changes everything, and the reason it won't work for iOS 5. Nevertheless, it worked.
Thanks everyone :)
I am using monotouch 4.0.7 and was able to get iAd to show up sucessfully on iPhone(normal) and iPhone(retina).
It seems that the iPad version is loaded successfully, clickable but it's completely empty. In the emulator it has the mousedown color too.
I've tried extending the frame of both the view controller and the view to 1024x768 but it's still not showing up.
Is this normal behavior in Portrait mode? I am using ADBannerContentSizeIdentifierPortrait.
By the way, AdLoaded is getting called and there are no warnings in application output.
I've been looking into the issue, the problem (I'm guessing) is that you're using "ADBannerContentSizeIdentifierPortrait" as the identifier in your "RequiredContentSizeIdentifiers" set. The problem is that the string is not the same as the identifier. You should instead use the class properties on ADBannerView which are ADBannerView.SizeIdentifierPortrait or ADBannerView.SizeIdentifierLandscape.
Let me know if this sorts out your issue,

Please note that this question is from 2008 and now is of only historic interest.
What's the best way to create an iPhone application that runs in landscape mode from the start, regardless of the position of the device?
Both programmatically and using the Interface Builder.
Historic answer only. Spectacularly out of date.
Please note that this answer is now hugely out of date/
This answer is only a historical curiosity.
Exciting news! As discovered by Andrew below, this problem has been fixed by Apple in 4.0+.
It would appear it is NO longer necessary to force the size of the view on every view, and the specific serious problem of landscape "only working the first time" has been resolved.
As of April 2011, it is not possible to test or even build anything below 4.0, so the question is purely a historic curiosity. It's incredible how much trouble it caused developers for so long!
Here is the original discussion and solution. This is utterly irrelevant now, as these systems are not even operable.
It is EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to make this work fully -- there are at least three problems/bugs at play.
try this .. interface builder landscape design
Note in particular that where it says "and you need to use shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation properly everywhere" it means everywhere, all your fullscreen views.
Hope it helps in this nightmare!
An important reminder of the ADDITIONAL well-known problem at hand here: if you are trying to swap between MORE THAN ONE view (all landscape), IT SIMPLY DOES NOT WORK. It is essential to remember this or you will waste days on the problem. It is literally NOT POSSIBLE. It is the biggest open, known, bug on the iOS platform. There is literally no way to make the hardware make the second view you load, be landscape. The annoying but simple workaround, and what you must do, is have a trivial master UIViewController that does nothing but sit there and let you swap between your views.
In other words, in iOS because of a major know bug:
[window addSubview:happyThing.view];
[window makeKeyAndVisible];
You can do that only once. Later, if you try to remove happyThing.view, and instead put in there newThing.view, IT DOES NOT WORK - AND THAT'S THAT. The machine will never rotate the view to landscape. There is no trick fix, even Apple cannot make it work. The workaround you must adopt is having an overall UIViewController that simply sits there and just holds your various views (happyThing, newThing, etc). Hope it helps!
From the Apple Dev Site:
To start your application in landscape
mode so that the status bar is in the
appropriate position immediately, edit
your Info.plist file to add the
UIInterfaceOrientation key with the
appropriate value
(UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight
or
UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft),
as shown in Listing 2.
Listing 2: Starting your application
in landscape mode
<key>UIInterfaceOrientation</key>
<string>UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight</string>
Summary and integration from all the posts, after testing it myself; check the update for 4.x, 5.x below.
As of 3.2 you cannot change the orientation of a running application from code.
But you can start an application with a fixed orientation, although doing so this is not straightforward.
Try with this recipe:
set your orientation to UISupportedInterfaceOrientations in the Info.plist file
in your window define a 480x320 "base view controller". Every other view will be added as a subview to its view.
in all view controllers set up the shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation: method (to return the same value you defined in the plist, of course)
in all view controllers set a background view with
self.view.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 480, 320)
in the viewDidLoad method.
Update (iOS 4.x, 5.x): the Apple iOS App Programming Guide has a "Launching in Landscape Mode" paragraph in the "Advanced App Tricks" chapter.

interface builder landscape design
interface builder landscape design-1
First I set in info.plist
<key>UIInterfaceOrientation</key>
<string>UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight</string>
then I put this code in applicationDidFinishLaunching:
CGAffineTransform rotate = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(1.57079633);
[window setTransform:rotate];
CGRect contentRect = CGRectMake(0, 0, 480, 320);
window.bounds = contentRect;
[window setCenter:CGPointMake(160.0f, 240.0f)];
This way I can work on the view in Interface Builder in landscape mode.
sasb's and michaelpryor's answer appears to be correct, but if it's not working for you, try this alternative:
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunchingUIApplication *)application {
application.statusBarOrientation = UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight;
}
Or this one:
[[UIDevice currentDevice] setOrientation:UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight];
Or this one:
[application setStatusBarOrientation: UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight animated:NO];
You may also have to call window makeKeyAndVisible; first.

#Robert: please refer to The iPhone SDK, NDA, and Stack Overflow.
I'm surprised no one has come up with this answer yet:
In all my tests when a dismissing a modal view controller the parent view controller's preferred orientation set in shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation is honored even when part of a UINavigationController. So the solution to this is simple:
Create a dummy UIViewController with a UIImageView for a background. Set the image to the default.png image your app uses on startup.
When viewWillAppear gets called in your root view controller, just present the dummy view controller without animation.
when viewDidAppear gets called in your dummy view controller, dismiss the view controller with a nice cross dissolve animation.
Not only does this work, but it looks good! BTW, just for clarification i do the root view controller's viewWillAppear like this:
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
if ( dummy != nil ) {
[dummy setModalTransitionStyle:UIModalTransitionStyleCrossDissolve];
[self presentModalViewController:dummy animated:NO];
[dummy release];
dummy = nil;
}
...
}
The latest iPhone OS Programming Guide has a full section on this, with sample code. I am sure this is a recent addition, so maybe you missed it. It explains all the conditions you have to comply with; basically...
set the Info.plist properties (this changes the position of the status bar, but not the view)
rotate your view manually around its center, on either your UIViewController viewDidLoad: method or your applicationDidFinishLaunching: method or implement auto rotation ("Autoresizing behaviors", page 124)
Look for "Launching in Landscape Mode", page 102.
See this answer: Landscape Mode ONLY for iPhone or iPad
add orientation to plist
shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation = YES in all files
Although if you're using mixed modes, you might be better off with
[[UIDevice currentDevice] setOrientation:UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight];
