iOS 7: How to allow only portrait orientation for VC

Question

All my project allow to view app in landscape/portrait mode, but for one View Controller I want to disable this function and show it only in portrait orientation.

I have tried shouldAutorotate and supportedInterfaceOrientations, but it don't work.

If you want different orientation for view controllers, In AppDelegate add this method -

- (NSUInteger)application:(UIApplication *)application supportedInterfaceOrientationsForWindow:(UIWindow *)window{
    NSUInteger orientations = UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAllButUpsideDown;

    if(self.window.rootViewController){
        UIViewController *presentedViewController = [[(UINavigationController *)self.window.rootViewController viewControllers] lastObject];
        orientations = [presentedViewController supportedInterfaceOrientations];
    }

    return orientations;
}

and in your ViewController -

-(BOOL)shouldAutorotate{
    return YES;
}

-(NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations{
    return (UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAll);//Change this according to your need
}

Hope this will help.

Old post, I know; however, I am recieving an error with the AppDelegate code: `Conflicting return type in implementation of 'application:supportedInterfaceOrientationsForWindow:': 'UIInterfaceOrientationMask' (aka 'enum UIInterfaceOrientationMask') vs 'NSUInteger' (aka 'unsigned long')` – JDev Feb 02 '17 at 15:33
Managed to fix it by changing the declaration of your function from `NSUInteger` to `UIInterfaceOrientationMask`. Here's what I mean: `- (UIInterfaceOrientationMask)application:(UIApplication *)application supportedInterfaceOrientationsForWindow:(UIWindow *)window {` – JDev Feb 02 '17 at 16:31

He is asking only one VC to support only portrait and all other to support portrait/landscape . – Blios May 06 '14 at 10:11

You have

UINavigationController  -- UIViewController1
                        -- UIViewController2

You have to subclass UINavigationController and implement shouldAutorotate and supportedInterfaceOrientations. In UIViewController1,2 allow to rotate whatever orientations which you want.
