POLandscape only iPhone app with multiple nibs
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm developing an iPhone application that has several nibs, and should be landscape only.</p> <p>The application is set to start in landscape mode via its Info.plist file.</p> <p>I have two view controllers: <code>FirstViewController</code> and <code>SecondViewController</code>.</p> <p>For each of these I have a nib file, where the view is in landscape. Both view controllers are added to my <code>MainView</code> nib as outlets, and their views are lazily initialized.</p> <p>When the application loads, the first view displays in landscape, as expected. However, when I switch to the second view, the device (or simulator) remains in landscape, but the view is rotated, as if the device were in portrait mode, braking my interface.</p> <p>In both <code>UIViewController</code> classes I have the following code:</p> <pre><code>- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation { return interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight; } </code></pre> <p>and to switch views, in my app delegate I'm doing:</p> <pre><code>[viewController.view removeFromSuperview]; [window addSubview:secondViewController.view]; </code></pre> <p>where <code>viewController</code> and <code>secondViewController</code> are the two outlets where the view controllers are connected.</p> <p>This is how the second view looks in IB: <a href="http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/4898/picture1ni.png">alt text http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/4898/picture1ni.png</a></p> <p>and this is how it looks in the simulator: <a href="http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/4866/picture2wt.png">alt text http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/4866/picture2wt.png</a></p> <p>Why is that the second view is displaying in landscape but with the interface rotated?</p> <p>I wouldn't like to deal with transform properties, since that seems overkill.</p>
