How to stop rotation of ABPersonViewController & ABNewPersonViewController in Landscape mode in iphone

Question

I am using a ABPersonViewController & ABNewPersonViewController class by pushview controller. ABPersonViewController *pvc = [[ABPersonViewController alloc] init]; [pvc setPersonViewDelegate:self]; [[self navigationController] pushViewController:pvc animated:YES]; In ABPersonViewController & ABNewPersonViewController page it is displaying in portrait mode. But when I rotate my iphone then it is perfectly rotating in landscape mode. But I want to stop this rotation. If I rotate my iphone in landscape mode it's view should be in portrait mode. Please help me ASAP. Any suggestion will be acepted.

Hello Andy,

The solution for your problem is quite simple: just subclass UINavigationController like this:

@interface UINonRotatingNavigationController : UINavigationController {
}
@end

in your .h file, and in your .m file type:

@implementation UINonRotatingNavigationController {

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

@end

Use it as your main navigation controller for the person picker - this should block it from rotating.

Hope this was helpful, Paul
