Question

How to make autorotation for Action sheet in Iphone sdk?

Answer 1

A:

UIActionSheet autorotates automatically - its orientation is the same as the view's on which it is being shown. So that if you have a controller which can be rotated to any orientation(implements the following:


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

) Then if you show your UIActionSheet in this controller's view, action sheet will be of the same orientation as the controller's view and will autorotate automatically.

But if you will somehow show this UIActionSheet in the window(main application window), which does not autorotate to landscape, than your controller will rotate to landscape and after clicking the button, your UIActionSheet won't be presented in landscape but in portrait as the main window.

I suppose that you show the UIActionSheet in the controller's view then. Try showing it from tabBar:[sheet showFromTabBar:self.tabBarController.tabBar];This should help :)

I'm using the 3.1.2 SDK and my UIActionSheet is not being rotated, even though the view it is shown over is autorotated. I'm using the showInView: method and passing the viewcontroller's view as a parameter. If I open the actionsheet in portrait or landscape it works, but it will not rotate WHILE it is shown.

True. ActionSheet won't be rotated then. This is how the SDK works(see in the Mail application - view the mail, press the reply button and rotate the device to the landscape). I guess the view on which the UIActionSheet is being shown is not rotating to the landscape when the UIActionSheet is shown as well, cause is this manner the view is not at the top so that doesn't rotate - and the rotation of the UIActionSheet depends on the view in which it is shown.
