POAutorotation and multiple view controllers
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm creating an iPad application which should only work in portrait and portait upsidedown modes. For performance reasons in my applicationDidFinishLaunching method I'm creating several viewControllers, and adding them to my main window as subviews. I then hide the ones I don't want to see straight away. There is no tab bar or navigation controller.</p> <p>My problem is that only the first viewController seems to be receiving the rotate calls. I have verified this by swapping around the order in which I add the subviews to the main window and NSLog's. Is there some way I can force all the controllers to receive the calls? </p> <p>Some of my views are designed to lay over the top of another view, but this behind view will not always be the same one - so it seems to make sense to have the overlay view in a separate view controller. Am I doing something fundamentally wrong, and that's why it's not behaving as I would expect?</p> <p>EDIT: The accepted answer for this question seems to indicate the exact problem I'm facing: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/548142/uiviewcontroller-rotate-methods">UIViewController rotate methods</a></p> <p>EDIT 2: Another question that confirms only the "primary" view controller will receive the rotate events. Is it really the case that I need to put all my code into one view controller that has multiple views? <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2423858/multiple-view-controllers-on-screen-at-once">Multiple view controllers on screen at once?</a></p>
