Placing and Moving Views on Rotation (UIView)

Question

What\'s the \"correct\" way of exactly placing and moving views when an app rotates? That is, how can I have fine-grained control of the position, size, and reflow of my vie

Answer 1

To have fine-grained control over the position and size of your subviews when the iPhone rotates, change the frame of the subviews in the UIViewController method willAnimateRotationToInterfaceOrientation:duration:. This method is called within an animation block, so all the changes to your subviews' frames that you make inside of it are animated.

- (void)willAnimateRotationToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation duration:(NSTimeInterval)duration
{
    if (UIInterfaceOrientationIsPortrait(toInterfaceOrientation)) {
        // Portrait frames
        self.subviewA.frame = CGRectMake(x, y, width, height);
        self.subviewB.frame = CGRectMake(x, y, width, height);
        self.subviewC.frame = CGRectMake(x, y, width, height);
    } else {
        // Landscape frames
        self.subviewA.frame = CGRectMake(x, y, width, height);
        self.subviewB.frame = CGRectMake(x, y, width, height);
        self.subviewC.frame = CGRectMake(x, y, width, height);
    }
}
