iPad Orientations.

Question

Ok here is the structure of the app:

in delegate, i add rootViewController as subview to the window:

RootViewController *rootView = [[RootViewController alloc] init];

[window addSubview:rootView.view];

In rootViewController there is an inteface I crate programmatically (a brunch of buttons like the springboard), and is currently working only in portrait mode.

When I add:

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation: (UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{

    NSLog(@"we are here");

    return YES;


}

nothing happens, its called just when the app runs, and not when I change orientations.

So what I miss ? How I will make my View controller rotate based on orientation?

thanks for any help.

Answer 1

You should configure your Info.plist correctly

Check if the UISupportedInterfaceOrientations~ipad (Supported interface orientations (iPad)) array is present, if not add this node and the orientations you want to be supported in your app.

Answer 2

Ok, i have found the solution

Looks like based on the apple docs I have to add the RootViewController as retainable property and then orientations work as it should.

Thanks for the help anyway.
