Xib view file is not working in landscape mode

Question

Hi, I have added new Xib view file in my project. I assigned to view controller and in the view controller I set:

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
    //return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight);
    return YES;
}

But when the application runs in landscape mode, xib is not in landscape mode. I have set in info.plist file also xib file is also in landscape view. What do I have to do? Any help?

You need to adjust the alignment of elements on your view in the way, that when it rotates the elements will take their place according to orientation.

for example if you have a button on your left bottom corner, in the alignments pane you should assign it to stick to left and bottom, while maintaining its original size. Also the containing view has to be fully autoresizable.

You can do it from the code like this:

self.view.autoresizingMask = (UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleLeftMargin | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleRightMargin | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleTopMargin | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleBottomMargin | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight);

Hope this helps
