iPad custom size of modal view controller

Question

I have a couple of modal view controllers of certain size. I\'m trying to avoid the use of custom views (creating full screen black translucent overlay over current view, ad

Answer 1

I had an issue getting the custom sized modal to center until I figured out what ViewController.view.superview.frame was set to initially. It is determined based on the UIModalPresentation type. superview.center isn't even needed(as far as my testing shows).

Also, I set the coordinates dynamically using [UIScreen mainScreen].applicationFrame, only supporting landscape orientation for now. You have to do a conditional check to support both portrait and landscape by flipping the X/Y and Height/Width values.

Here was my first working solution for iOS 6.0:

ViewController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationFormSheet;
ViewController.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleCrossDissolve;
[self presentViewController:ViewController animated:YES completion:nil];
ViewController.view.superview.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleTopMargin | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleBottomMargin;
ViewController.view.superview.frame = CGRectMake(
                                                                    // Calcuation based on landscape orientation (width=height) 
                                                                    ([UIScreen mainScreen].applicationFrame.size.height/2)-(320/2),// X
                                                                    ([UIScreen mainScreen].applicationFrame.size.width/2)-(320/2),// Y
                                                                    320,// Width
                                                                    320// Height
                                                                    );

And then I looked at the previous answer and face palmed. Shortens my solution a tad by replacing the last line with:

ViewController.view.superview.bounds = CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 320);

EDIT for final solution and remarks.
