How to set device (UI) orientation programmatically?

Question

Would like everything on the screen (UI) to be able to rotate from landscape left to right or vica versa.

How do I go about doing this? Is this private?

Answer 1

As suggested on a related thread shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation is deprecated. Newer apps should leverage the following methods as described in Apple's UIViewController Class Reference until they themselves become deprecated:

• shouldAutorotate,
• preferredInterfaceOrientationForPresentation; and
• attemptRotationToDeviceOrientation.

From what I understand it's best to use different View Controllers for views which need to lock into (i.e. have a preferred) orientation mode which differs from the last.
