iOS 5: willRotateToInterfaceOrientation:duration not called when first loading controller

Question

I\'ve implemented this method in my code to know when an interface orientation change will occur:

- (void)willRotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrient         


        

Answer 1

Since iOS 5 and higher you should build you view controllers hierarchy (using -addChildViewController:). Then child view controllers begin to call -willRotateToInterfaceOrientation:interfaceOrientation: and other interface related methods again (because parent controller will notify them about UI orientation changes).

Please, do not use any 'dirty' methods.

Useful documentation: Apple docs about 'addChildViewController:'
