iOS Help iPad orientation

[Michael H]

I’m sorry I posted the wrong files here are the correct ones.

I am stuck and need HELP. I wish to use one view in portrait and a DIFFERENT view in landscape.

“Show different views for portrait and landscape positions. Like, showing view A (in UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait and UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown), rotate device, then showing view B in (UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft and UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight).”

Using the view controller orientation support. I have Two issues I’m unable to resolve.
*
When I rotate from portrait to landscape OR landscape to portrait there is a white screen showing during animation.

When I rotate to landscape second view appears. However, when I rotate back to portrait the second view remains and the first view doesn’t load. Second view remains and doesn't go away.
*
Second view files have no changes from what is given when creating them.
*
*
Here is my first view files.

Chapter 2 page 42 “Creating an Alternate Landscape Interface”

I have created two (2) View Controllers, PortraitViewController & LandscapeViewController. I am having Two (2) issues I really need help on:


When I open application up in landscape orientation, application opens showing the wrong view “PortraitViewController” and not “LandscapeViewController”.

When rotating from portrait to landscape the “LandscapeViewController” appears however, it has a blank gray status bar at top. How do I remove status bar?

PortraitViewController.h

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@class LandscapeViewController;

@interface PortraitViewController : UIViewController
{
	BOOL isShowingLandscapeView;
	LandscapeViewController *landscapeViewController;
}

@property (nonatomic, retain) LandscapeViewController *landscapeViewController;

@end

PortraitViewController.m

#import "PortraitViewController.h"
#import "LandscapeViewController.h"

@implementation PortraitViewController

@synthesize landscapeViewController;

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
	self; 
	
	LandscapeViewController *viewController = [[LandscapeViewController alloc]
											   initWithNibName:@"Landscape" bundle:nil];
	self.landscapeViewController = viewController;
	[viewController release];
	
	[[UIDevice currentDevice] beginGeneratingDeviceOrientationNotifications];
	[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(orientationChanged:)
												 name:UIDeviceOrientationDidChangeNotification object:nil];
}

- (void)viewDidUnload
{
	self.landscapeViewController = nil;
}

- (void)dealloc
{
    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self];
    [[UIDevice currentDevice] endGeneratingDeviceOrientationNotifications];
	
	[landscapeViewController release];
	
    [super dealloc];
}

- (void)orientationChanged:(NSNotification *)notification
{
    // We must add a delay here, otherwise we'll swap in the new view
	// too quickly and we'll get an animation glitch
    [self performSelector:@selector(updateLandscapeView) withObject:nil afterDelay:0];
}

- (void)updateLandscapeView
{
    UIDeviceOrientation deviceOrientation = [UIDevice currentDevice].orientation;
    if (UIDeviceOrientationIsLandscape(deviceOrientation) && !isShowingLandscapeView)
	{
        [self presentModalViewController:self.landscapeViewController animated:YES];
        isShowingLandscapeView = YES;
    }
	else if (deviceOrientation == UIDeviceOrientationPortrait && isShowingLandscapeView || UIDeviceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown && isShowingLandscapeView)
	{
        [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
        isShowingLandscapeView = NO;
    }    
}

// override to allow orientations other than the default portrait orientation
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
    return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait ||
			interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown); // support only portrait
}

@end

LandscapeViewController.h

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface LandscapeViewController : UIViewController
{
	
}

@end

LandscapeViewController.m

#import "LandscapeViewController.h"

@implementation LandscapeViewController

// the designated initializer. Override to perform setup that is required before the view is loaded.
- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil
{
    if (self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil])
	{
        self.wantsFullScreenLayout = YES; // trying to overlap the status bar.
        
		// when presented, we want to display using a cross dissolve
		self.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleCrossDissolve;
    }
    return self;
}

- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super viewWillAppear:animated];
    
  }

- (void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super viewWillDisappear:animated];  
     
}

// override to allow orientations other than the default portrait orientation
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
    
    return UIInterfaceOrientationIsLandscape(interfaceOrientation);
}

@end

 

[PBG4 Dude]

Just learned about hiding the status bar yesterday.

Add a key to your app's xxx-info.plist file. Add the "Status bar is initially hidden" key and check the checkbox.

 

[Michael H]

Status bar issue closed.

Thanks PBG4 Dude the status bar advice worked.

 

[PBG4 Dude]

Yay! I'm glad it worked for you. Have you resolved your other issues?
