Modal View Controller Won't Start in Landscape Mode

Question

I have a navigation based app that has a detail view (UIWebView) with action buttons across the bottom in a UIToolbar. I want to add \'notes\' when the \'notes\' button is

Answer 1

Modals don't always get information about rotations, and they get their info from the status bar, which doesn't always work right. Put this in your viewWillAppear to fix: [UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarOrientation = self.interfaceOrientation And, if you want a navigation controller inside your modal, you need to create one.

Also, you don't need the setNeedsDisplay. That only effects the current views, not the modal you are presenting.
