Forcing UIAlertView into landscape mode

Question

I need to display a UIAlertView in landscape mode. I tried the obvious, setting the transform in the willPresentAlertView: delegate method to no avail:

Answer 1

What is the orientation of the view that shows the alert? I had the same problem, I tried to show an UIAlertView inside a landscape view but always appeared in portrait orientation. So, I forced the orientation of the status bar:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarOrientation:theOrientation];

That worked to me.
