Question

Alright, I am not entirely sure if I will explain this sufficiently, but here it goes.

In my application I have multiple viewControllers, that are added and removed to display different views, so on and so forth. Some of these controllers, I want to allow to rotate while other I only want in say portrait mode.

However, when I go and change the shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation to return YES for a desired orientation, or even just always return YES, nothing happens when I rotate the device in some of the views.

The first view that I add to the application will rotate properly and does what I want it to do, but any subsequent view that I add to the window, just does not want to rotate as desired.

I set my parentview (main UIWindow), to autoresizeSubViews, and still nothing.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

I found my problem with this was simply how I was implementing my transitions and adding new views to the screen. Before I was just taking a viewcontroller viewcontroller, and adding it as a subview to the main view, so the only thing that could control the rotation was that main viewcontroller. I did not know about the [self.navigationcontroller pushviewcontroller] thing existed. So yeah, that is what I use now and it does exactly what I need it to do.
