Multiple views in a UIWindow

Question

I have a "navigation based application" which also needs to have a view always displayed at the bottom of the screen at all times. I added this new view to a UIWindow after adding the UINavigationController's view:

// In my delegate's applicationDidFinishLaunching method
[window addSubview:navigationController.view];
[window insertSubview:disclaimerController.view aboveSubview:navigationController.view];
[window makeKeyAndVisible];

This works fine except for rotation. The second view I added doesn't rotate correctly. It doesn't change position and it's view controller's rotate methods don't get called.

Obviously, I'm going about this the wrong way. My question is, how can I have a second view on screen that's not part of navigation controller's view? Thanks.

If you are adding a view ontop of another by adding as subview rotation will not work (view won't be notified of rotation). What u can do is register the view with the device to be notified of rotation events, then u can programatically handle rotation (it will not do it for u)
