landscape

I have a site that has a mobile stylesheet: <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/mobile.css" media="handheld"> I'm also using jQuery to check for mobile devices and alter functionality accordingly. But I want to know if there is a way to force landscape-only orientation and disable auto-rotate? Either a CSS or a jQuery solution would be fine. Thanks! Use media queries to test the orientation, in the portrait stylesheet hide everything and show a message that the app only works on landscape mode. <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/style_l.css" media="screen and (orientation: landscape

There has been a lot of confusion and a set of corresponding set of questions here on SO how iPhone applications with proper handling for Landscape/Portrait mode autorotation can be implemented. It is especially difficult to implement such an application when starting in landscape mode is desired. The most common observed effect are scrambled layouts and areas of the screen where touches are no longer recognized. A simple search for questions tagged iphone and landscape reveals these issues, which occur under certain scenarios: Landscape only iPhone app with multiple nibs : App started in

I finished my iOS app but I need to set only ONE view to landscape mode, the rest of the views can only be seen in portrait mode. I'm using Xcode 5.1 and I created all of my Views by dropping in my storyboard View Controllers from the right panel, so if you are going to tell me to write some code somewhere, please tell me exactly where I need to write it. I read one solution here UINavigationController Force Rotate but I don't know where to write that code. Do I need to create one UIViewController manually? Zedenem I am gonna suppose you are targeting iOS 7 here (using XCode 5.1, I think I am

I have been searching for an answer to this, but cannot come up with anything. Apparently, iPhone SDK 3.0 made it possible that UIImagePickerController can be displayed in landscape mode - but I am not finding any method that will allow this. I would think that if the application is in landscape by default it would automatically adjust the image controller, but that is not working for me. Thanks for any help! I haven't checked whether this is illegal, but it worked for me. If you want the UIImagePickerController to start(and stay) in Landscape orientation code: //Initialize picker

When I start my ViewController in landscape mode (After viewDidLoad is called), I print the frame it's giving me the frame size for portrait mode instead. Is this a bug any suggestions? - (void)viewDidLoad { [super viewDidLoad]; NSLog(@"%@", NSStringFromCGRect(self.view.frame)); // Result is (0, 0 , 768, 1024) } There are a couple of things that you don't understand. First, the system sends you viewDidLoad immediately after loading your nib. It hasn't even added the view to the view hierarchy yet. So it hasn't resized your view based on the device's rotation either. Second, a view's frame is

My app (iPad;iOS 6) is a landscape only application, but when I try using a UIPopoverController to display the photo library it throws this error: Supported orientations has no common orientation with the application, and shouldAutorotate is returning YES. I've tried changing a lot of the code around but I've had no luck. In IOS6 you have supported interface orientations in three places: The .plist (or Target Summary Screen) Your UIApplicationDelegate The UIViewController that is being displayed If you are getting this error it is most likely because the view you are loading in your UIPopover

Please note that this question is from 2008 and now is of only historic interest. What's the best way to create an iPhone application that runs in landscape mode from the start, regardless of the position of the device? Both programmatically and using the Interface Builder. Historic answer only. Spectacularly out of date. Please note that this answer is now hugely out of date/ This answer is only a historical curiosity . Exciting news! As discovered by Andrew below, this problem has been fixed by Apple in 4.0+. It would appear it is NO longer necessary to force the size of the view on every
