Question

i am doing application where i have taken two views Portrait and Landscape. i am creating a label programitically and calling it by parameter passing.As i want the position of the label to be changed in the landscapeView so i am taking two views.Instead i want to do in a SingleView

instead of using two views i want to have only one view and set the label position accordingly in portrait and landscape.

so please suggest me how to have only one view and change the textLabel position according to the view..please suggest me with sample code.

At present i am using the below code

[self.portraitView addSubview:[self createLabel:CGRectMake(450,140,60,20):@"Ratings:"]];      
[self.landscapeView addSubview:[self createLabel:CGRectMake(600,140,60,20):@"Ratings:"]];

-(UILabel*)createLabel:(CGRect)frame :(NSString*)labelTitle {
    UILabel *myLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:frame]; 
    [UIFont fontWithName:@"Arial" size:13];  
     myLabel.text = labelTitle;     
}

Answer 1

1. Make your UILabel *myLabel a class variable by declaring it in your .h file.
2. Call the createLabel method in the viewDidLoad method of your viewController based on the correct device orientation.

-(void) viewDidLoad

{
       UIDeviceOrientation orientation = [UIDevice currentDevice].orientation

if(orientation == UIDeviceOrientationPortrait)
           CGRect frame = CGRectMake(450,140,60,20);
else
           CGRect frame = CGRectMake(600,140,60,20);

        myLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:frame]; 
        [UIFont fontWithName:@"Arial" size:13];  
         myLabel.text = labelTitle;     
}

1. Reset the frame in this method

-(BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation

{
     if(interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandScape)
          {      
              mylabel.frame = CGRectMake(600,140,60,20);  //your landscape frame
              mylabel.text = @"Ratings:";
          }
    else
       {
          mylabel.frame = CGRectMake(450,140,60,20); // your portrait frame
          mylabel.text = @"Ratings:";
       }
}

You will need to dig around a little bit for covering all the possible orientations in this method.

Cheers!!!
