Question

Good evening all!
I am developing an application in Portait orientation and i was wander if there is a way for me to change the orientation of only one view to landspace left without messing with the rest of the app.

I tried returning

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
    return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft);
  //return UIInterfaceOrientationIsLandscape(interfaceOrientation);
}

but with no luck… In IB the orientation for the View controller is set to landscape but when i run the app, it keeps appearing in portrait mode… Also tried setting the

[[UIApplication sharedApplication]setStatusBarOrientation:UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft animated:NO];

with no luck…

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

The only thing that worked for me was using

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
    return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft || interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight);
}

in my ViewController and presenting it with presentModalViewController.
This forces the View to stay in landscape.
