MFMailComposeViewController in landscape

Question

My application is in landscape mod.When i call MFMailComposeViewController through Present model view, it comes in landscape mod.I rotate device and MFMailComposeViewController view goes to portrait mod i want to restrict this rotation it should always be in landscape mod only.Is there any way to do it..

Answer 1

Create a new controller and inherit it from MFMailComposeViewController.In this controller just write one function shouldautorotate thing. Create instance of this.Now it will be working fine.

Answer 2

Subclass the MFMailComposeViewController class, so that you can override its shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation to display it however you like:

@interface MailCompose : MFMailComposeViewController {
}
@end

@implementation MailCompose

// Override to allow orientations other than the default portrait orientation.
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
    // Return YES for supported orientations
    return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft);
}

@end

Specify the new class in place of MFMailComposeViewController:

MailCompose *controller = [[MailCompose alloc] init];
controller.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[controller setSubject:@"In app email..."];
[controller setMessageBody:@"...email body." isHTML:NO];
[self presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];
[controller release];
