POUIViewController container with children for landscape/portrait
text
Body
copied!<p>I have an <code>UIViewController</code> container with two <code>UIViewController</code> children implementing two different way of browsing a collection of items (one coverflow, one list), one for each orientation (landscape/portrait). When you tap an item the container show another <code>UIViewController</code> child (this one is landscape/portrait compatible), providing details about the item.</p> <p>When rotating, I would like an effect like in the Apple <em>Music</em> app on iOS, when you rotate the list, the list keeps its orientation and fade into the coverflow which is in the new orientation.</p> <p>I can fade-out the list at the beginning of the rotation and fade-in the coverflow at the end but I can't fade the list into the coverflow (or any other animation involving the two views at the same time) because I don't know how to force the list to stay in portrait and the coverflow to stay in landscape.</p> <p>I know I can force the container to stay in portrait with a <code>shouldAutorotate = NO</code> and use orientation notifications to show the landscape <code>UIViewController</code> as modal but I need the container to rotate in order to show my detail <code>UIViewController</code> in the right orientation.</p> <p>I would like to keep a container with two children for each orientation but I would also accept a solution with a single <code>UIViewController</code> and two <code>UIView</code> for each orientation.</p> <p>(iOS5+ compatibility is needed)</p>
