I have one last problem with an app I just completed. On the main menu screen I support only 1 orientation and on all screens after that I support the usual 3 orientations.

The problem is that, say I am in the second screen and I hit back while I am in landscape mode, the main menu screen ends up in landscape mode as well despite the fact that I return NO on that one method. Once the menu screen is in landscape mode, I can't make it change back to its original orientation. The buttons look scrambled and obviously messy. The only solution is to go back to a 2nd screen, change the orientation there and then hit back. Is there any code I can put to make sure the orientation goes back to default when I go back to the menu screen? By the way, the problem is on both simulator and actual device when testing.

Thanks in advance

    You need to check the orientation (of screen 1) in viewWillAppear and set the frame accordingly – Bhupesh Aug 18 '12 at 04:19

  • where have you implemented the orientation method in your first viewcontroller?and please post your code – Tripti Kumar Aug 18 '12 at 08:29
  • Do you only 'return NO' on your home screen? That's because you must return YES for at least one orientation. – mvb Aug 18 '12 at 15:41

Ok guys I solved the issue, apparently leaving out that method altogether works. That method being:

-(BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation

If I: 

return NO

It doesn't work even though I thought returning NO meant that it only supported portrait mode but I was wrong

Thanks to all who commented

  • Hopefully you meant to say `return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait);` – jonmorgan Aug 18 '12 at 18:12
  • You are actually correct Jon, I was typing in that method wrong but it works fine too. My main problem was that I didn't understand that returning No does not equate portrait mode like I originally thought – Cristian Contreras Aug 18 '12 at 18:36
