Two related questions about iPhone autorotation

Question

1) Is it possible to change the speed of autorotation on the iPhone?

2) Is it possible to time an animation to take place during the autorotation animation? I would like to resize a photo while rotation is occuring, rather than when it's done.

Answer 1

1) not that I know of

2) Yes, see this method:

- (void)willAnimateRotationToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation duration:(NSTimeInterval)duration

http://developer.apple.com/iPhone/library/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UIViewController_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40006926-CH3-SW53

Answer 2

As for the first question, I haven't used this but check it out:

[UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarOrientationAnimationDuration = [NSTimeInterval ...];

See docs for UIApplication. The problem is that I don't know that this actually rotates the rest of your views. You may, however, be able to rotate the window's coordinate system around "manually" using UIWindow and [UIView beginAnimations ...] in order to recreate the whole effect.

Please post sample code somewhere if you get it working!
