I'm building an application that supports only Landscape orientation on the iPad under iOS 4.3, though the bug was present under iOS 4.2 as well.
Several places in the application, I am showing UIViewControllers as modal views. All of them are shown using this pattern:
viewController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationFormSheet;
viewController.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleCoverVertical;
[self presentModalViewController:viewController animated:YES];
In most places, they work as expected - the modal form sheet slides in from the bottom of the screen upward.
However, in two cases, the modal form sheet slides in from the bottom left of the screen. The form sheet slides nearly all the way to the right with the bottom of the form sheet out of view. If you focus a text field and show the onscreen keyboard, the form sheet moves to the top center of the screen where you would expect it to be.
I don't think the Simulated Metrics of the XIBs affect their behaviour, but I have set the orientation for all of them (both the calling UIViewController self and the modal view controller viewController) to Landscape.
Any ideas why these two modal form sheets are behaving differently from the others?
I think here you dint return landscape orientation in shouldAutorotate function so use this code if you wan view as landscape left/right:
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
// Return YES for supported orientations
return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight||interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft);
// return YES;
}
Try this it may help you..
Make sure if you have a viewController embedded in a NavigationController that the navController shouldAutotorate is also set to landscape

in iOS 7 and earlier, I was able to make UI changes in viewDidLayoutSubviews like so:
- (void)viewDidLayoutSubviews {
[super viewDidLayoutSubviews];
if ( UIInterfaceOrientationIsLandscape(self.interfaceOrientation) ) {
//update views for landscape
}
else {
//update views for portrait
}
}
I can still do this in iOS 8 except in view controllers that are presented by other view controllers. When a view controller is presented by another view controller, this does not work, because the self.interfaceOrientation property is not correct in the presented view controller. It does not reflect the current orientation, but rather the orientation right before the device rotation.
The issue is not present if presenting a view controller on iPad with modalPresentationStyle set to UIModalPresentationPageSheet. In other words, the issue is only present when presenting a full screen view controller.
Any suggestions?
Try using this instead:
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] statusBarOrientation]
Also, if you are dropping support for iOS 7 and going 8-only, I recommend you drop interface orientation handling in favor of trait collections and size classes, if you can.
I have a split view controller within a navigation controller and I want to put a DejalActivityView over everything it when I'm doing certain operations. Right now I'm using the following code:
- (void)showActivityView
{
UIView *viewToUse = [MSMasterViewController get].splitViewController.navigationController.view;
[DejalBezelActivityView activityViewForView:viewToUse];
[DejalActivityView currentActivityView].showNetworkActivityIndicator = YES;
}
This works in landscape mode, but when in portrait mode with the master view in popover form, the dejal activity view appears behind the popover. Is there a better view to use that will cover the whole screen?
Maybe you could use your Window as Superview, and only change relativ Frame positing.

I am working in iPad application, Using UITabBarController to create this application like four tabbar are A,B,C and D. All tabbar set Landscape orientation, When i select 3rd tab and press Submit Button to hide tabbar at the time and navigate to another screen (Pdf_reader.m).
I have set all the orientation in (Pdf_reader.m) class and its navigate portrait, then click back barbutton to go ClassC.m showing portrai mode, but i want Pdf_reader screen only rotate all orienatation, all the tabbar set Landscape mode, How to fix this issue?
ClassC.m //Hide tabbar
-(void)Submit
{
PDFExampleViewController *open = [[PDFExampleViewController alloc]init];
open.hidesBottomBarWhenPushed = YES;
[self.navigationController pushViewController:open animated:YES];
}
Check out the answers in this question. There are a few things you have to watch out.
I am using a Tab Bar Controller in my app. In the most part of the app's behavior we have one single orientation (interfaceOrientationPortrait). But i have a view that runs a video in WebView. When i am running this video, the orientation remains portrait. I want to put for all orientations.
Well, i used the return type YES in my Video's class. Nothing has changed. I changed the return type to YES in my RootViewController class. Nothing has changed.
I would like to change the orientation only for the Video.
View controllers that are part of a tab bar controller won't rotate to an orientation if any of the tab bar controllers can not rotate to that orientation (at least if the tab bar is visible). So maybe you want to update all your controllers' method in order to let the rotation happen if the web view controller is visible on the tab bar controller.
If you need a deeper explanation, just ask. Good luck!
Edit (example code)
This is what could be your rotation methods for your tab bar controller view controllers:
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
if ((self.tabBarController.selectedIndex == kMyWebViewControllerIndex))
{
return YES;
} else
{
return (orientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait);
}
}
Is your web view in a view controller inside the tabBarController?
Try showing it in a modally presented view controller, it should work
I have an UIViewController(called MainViewController) which presents modally a semi-transparent view (HelpOverlayViewController):
HelpOverlayViewController *helpOverlayViewController = [[HelpOverlayViewController alloc] init];
self.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationCurrentContext;
helpOverlayViewController.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleCrossDissolve;
[self presentViewController:helpOverlayViewController animated:YES completion:nil];
If the user rotates the device while the HelpOverlayViewController is shown it only rotates HelpOverlayViewController and not the MainViewController i.e. the parent controller. This is a problem since HelpOverlayViewController is semi-transparent and MainViewController is visible below it.
Both controllers have the method
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
return YES;
}
They both rotate fine independently.
Is there some way I can force the underlaying view controller to rotate when the modal view does?
I do know that issues like this will likely be largely resolved with iOS 6 as it has a different model for handling rotations.
However, that doesn't help you now. You might be best off just making your HelpOverlay a UIView and not a UIViewController. You can add this semi-transparent view onto the top of your MainViewController (or any other). You can still create an animation (like a fade-in) when adding this subview to your view hierarchy. With this model, you'll no longer have any issues with rotations.
