    <p><strong>In direct reference to this question:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2797515/how-to-stop-rotation-of-abpersonviewcontroller-abnewpersonviewcontroller-in-la">How to stop rotation of ABPersonViewController &amp; ABNewPersonViewController in Landscape mode in iphone</a></p> <p>How can I prevent this screen from rotating in iOS 6 when I am not the one pushing the view controller? Scenario being I create a new contact, and the user then presses either the 'Create new contact' or 'Add to existing contact' buttons. The screen produced is the ABNewPersonViewController but because I do not have direct access to the rotation methods, I am unable to prevent it from rotating.</p> <p><strong>Screenshot:</strong></p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/jtPDi.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>The above image is taken from a subclass of the <code>ABUnknownPersonViewController</code>, in this subclass the only functionality I have implemented is to override the rotation methods as follows:</p> <pre><code>- (BOOL)shouldAutorotate { return NO; } - (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation { if(toInterfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait) return YES; return NO; } </code></pre> <p>However, the issue is, I cannot then subclass the <code>ABNewPersonViewController</code> screen that is pushed when one of the buttons in the above image is pressed to override the rotation on iOS 6. Any ideas on how I can legitimately get access to these buttons OR override the rotation on the screen that is pushed to prevent it from doing so?</p> <p><strong>UPDATE 1:</strong></p> <p>I attempted to create a category on the <code>ABNewPersonViewController</code> and <code>ABUnknownPersonViewController</code> that overrode the rotation methods (not ideal, I know) and then globally imported, but this did not work. Other than this, I am completely stuck for ideas on how to override this behaviour. Any suggestions?</p> <p><strong>UPDATE 2:</strong></p> <p>Is it possible to gain a reference to the buttons in that <code>UITableView</code> and override the methods they call? Or is this in violation of Apple terms by accessing private APIs? Trying to investigate this approach so far and not really getting anywhere.</p>

    1. COIn iOS 6 what orientations views are allowed to rotate to is controlled by the presenting view controller, unless the view presented is full-screen (modal). Can you elaborate on your view/navigation controller hierarchy? Knowing what view controllers you have, and what is presenting what, I can help you figure out where to use the orientation methods to lock orientation changes.

    2. COThe screenshot above is the top of the View Controller stack, it has been pushed onto the stack and it is a subclass of the ABUnknownPersonViewController, within this subclass I override the rotation methods to prevent it from rotating. When Create or Add Existing button is pressed, an ABNewPersonViewController is presented from the ABUnknownPersonViewController subclass, but I do not have access to this code, hope this explains it.

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
