Question

Hopefully somebody can point out what I’m doing wrong with my Splash screen here. The problem is that the screen is displaying in portrait mode, not landscape…

- (void)showSplash
{    
UIView *modelView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 1024 , 748)];

UIViewController *modalViewController = [[UIViewController alloc] init];
[modelView setBackgroundColor:[[UIColor alloc] initWithPatternImage:[UIImage     imageNamed:@"Splash.png"]]];

modalViewController.view = modelView; 

[self presentModalViewController:modalViewController animated:NO];


[self performSelector:@selector(hideSplash) withObject:nil afterDelay:5.0];

}

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

Thanks in advance for the help.

Looks like you are writing app for iPad. If so, you have to support both landscape as well as portrait orientation otherwise Apple will reject it. I would suggest that you should use two different images. Image specifications are as follows:

1. Default-Landscape.png (1004 * 768)
2. Default-Portrait.png (748*1024)

(I am assuming that you are showing status bar if not add 20 pixels to height of an image)

That’s it, create these images and add it to your project. And you are good to go. No Need to write any additional piece of code too..

And ya make it

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
return YES;
}
