custom alert view does not rotate toward device rotation

Question

i was implement a custom alert view from

http://iphonedevelopment.blogspot.com/2010/05/custom-alert-views.html

but i want to make that custom alert view rotate when the device orientation change. when i run that application at the first time in portrait orientation of iphone simulator, the custom alert view orientation is landscape, but when i rotate the device into landscape left, the custom alert view orientation is landscape. After rotating the device in many ways, i found that the custom alert orientation is follow suit the home button position..

i was implement this several methods :

-(void) willAnimateSecondHalfOfRotationFromInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)fromInterfaceOrientation duration:(NSTimeInterval)duration {
NSLog(@"kkksksksk");

}

-(void) willAnimateFirstHalfOfRotationToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation duration:(NSTimeInterval)duration{
 NSLog(@"aaa");

}

-(void) willAnimateRotationToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation duration:(NSTimeInterval)duration{
 NSLog(@"bbb");

}

-(void) willAnimateRotationToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation duration:(NSTimeInterval)duration{
 NSLog(@"bbb");

}

-(void) willRotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation duration:(NSTimeInterval)duration{
NSLog(@"ccc");

}

-(BOOL) shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation{
return YES;
NSLog(@"shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation");

}

but no one was called... Can anyone help me in working out why the custom alert view isn't rotating like i want ?

UPDATE : i was implement the viewWillAppear method like this

-(void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {

UIInterfaceOrientation toOrientation = self.interfaceOrientation;
if(toOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait){
    CGAffineTransform affine = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation (M_PI * 180 / 180.0f);
    NSLog(@"vwa : portrait upside down");

    [self.alertView setTransform:affine];
    [self.backgroundView setTransform:affine];

    //[self.view setTransform:affine];
    self.view.center = CGPointMake(160, 240);
    NSLog(@"affine : %f", affine);

}else if(toOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown){
    CGAffineTransform affine = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation (0.0);

    NSLog(@"vwa : Portrait ");

    [self.alertView setTransform:affine];
    [self.backgroundView setTransform:affine];
    self.view.center = CGPointMake(160, 240);
    NSLog(@"affine : %f", affine);
}else if(toOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft){
    CGAffineTransform affine = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation (M_PI * 270 / 180.0f);

    [self.alertView setTransform:affine];
    [self.backgroundView setTransform:affine];
    self.view.center = CGPointMake(160, 240);

    NSLog(@"vwa : landscpae left");

    NSLog(@"affine : %f", affine);
}else{
    CGAffineTransform affine = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation ( M_PI * 90 / 180.0f);
    [self.alertView setTransform:affine];
    [self.backgroundView setTransform:affine];
    self.view.center = CGPointMake(160, 240);

    NSLog(@"vwa : landscape right");
    NSLog(@"affine : %f", affine);
}

}

but the condition just fulfilled at the first time launching the app, after that, there're no condition and statement called even i rotate the device many times

what do you mean with "You should format your code" ? i'm sorry i dont understand — R. Dewi, Nov 26 '10 at 03:51
This web support a code format for codes, you should use this format. And you can verify the edited result at the bottom view. — AechoLiu, Nov 26 '10 at 08:16

It's DONE... see About the orientation of iPhone to find the answer :)

UIView cannot accept the delegate messages of UIViewController. So you should register as an observer to receive the UIDeviceOrientationDidChangeNotification notification.

i'm sorry..i dont understand how to register as an observer, can you describe it? – R. Dewi Nov 26 '10 at 08:32
toro...did you mean register as an observer like the answer on this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3829756/about-the-orientation-of-iphone ?? it's yours right? :) – R. Dewi Nov 26 '10 at 08:45
