autorotate

My app can autorotate but I need one of the views to only show in portrait mode and don't know how to achieve this. I tried this (among other things) but the view in question still rotates: // ViewController.m -(BOOL)shouldAutorotate { return NO; } - (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations { return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait; } Can someone kindly point out what I'm doing wrong? Thanks. -edit- It's for iOS 6.1 When a UINavigationController is involved, create a category on the UINavigationController and override supportedInterfaceOrientations . #import "UINavigationController

Is it possible to rotate a view around its own centre? In my present implementation the sub-views (buttons, etc) seem to move along a funny path before they end up in the desired positions (since the super view's coordinate system is rotated). I would like the views to spin 90 degrees around theire own centres as in the picture below. I really like this question. I also find the rotation animation jarring for some interfaces. Here's how I would implement what you have pictured. A simple @interface will be just fine. Note: I am using ARC. #import <UIKit/UIKit.h> @interface

I have recently run into a problem. My iPad app is somehow preventing the iPad from auto-rotating. My app loads a UISplitView with both of the view controllers returning YES for shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:. I have set up my info.plist to include the "Supported interface orientations" key with all four orientations. When I run the app, however, rotating the device does not rotate the splitView (even though I am receiving UIDeviceOrientationDidChangeNotification). In addition, when I exit my app in a different orientation that it started in the iPad home screen doesn't autorotate to

If you open the Google maps app, there is a button on the top right of the screen that you can press to center the map on your current location. The button's icon then changes. If you press the same button again, the map auto-rotates based on your compass heading. In other words, the map becomes egocentric (as opposed to allocentric AKA north always up). Google recently launched maps API V2 for Android and I certainly like it more than the old one. By default, android maps V2 will include the "center on location" button. However, pressing it more than once does not enable auto-rotation; it

How to get the screen auto-rotate's status (disable or enable) by Regetry or ACPI in windows8? I need to disable screen auto-rotate, and I will use winkey + O to change the screen auto-rotate control. Does anyone have similar experiences? Below maybe helpful if you want to change auto-rotate status: //C++ typedef BOOL (WINAPI* SETAUTOROTATION)(BOOL bEnable); SETAUTOROTATION SetAutoRotation = (SETAUTOROTATION)GetProcAddress(GetModuleHandle(TEXT("user32.dll")), (LPCSTR)2507); if(SetAutoRotation != NULL) { SetAutoRotation(TRUE); } or //C# [DllImport("user32.dll", EntryPoint = "#2507")] extern

I'm writing a drawing app and I don't want the drawing view to rotate. At the same time, I want other controls to rotate nicely depending on the orientation of the device. In iOS 7 I've solved this via: - (void)willAnimateRotationToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation duration:(NSTimeInterval)duration { float rotation; if (toInterfaceOrientation==UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait) { rotation = 0; } else if (toInterfaceOrientation==UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft) { rotation = M_PI/2; } else if (toInterfaceOrientation==UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight) {

I've used this code to force an orientation change back to portrait when the user is finished watching the video (it allows viewing in landscape mode), before popping the video view controller off the navigation controller: //set statusbar to the desired rotation position [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarOrientation:UIDeviceOrientationPortrait animated:NO]; //present/dismiss viewcontroller in order to activate rotating. UIViewController *mVC = [[[UIViewController alloc] init] autorelease]; [self presentModalViewController:mVC animated:NO]; [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated
