Making one specific class of view controller auto rotate in a tab bar app, but forcing all other classes of view controller to stay portrait

Question

I have a tab bar controller with this code

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
    // Return YES for s         


        

Answer 1

You could accomplish this by:

1. setting statusBar orientation to viewWillAppear and viewWillDisappear

-(void) viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated { [super viewWillAppear: animated]; [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarOrientation: UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight]; }

-(void) viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated { [super viewWillDisappear: animated]; [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarOrientation: UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait]; }

and rotating a view manually: self.view.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(M_PI/2);

1. presenting that view modaly will trigger shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation method
