Question

I am using sharekit with a cocos2d application (app is throughout landscape), I am getting no error, but the share screen that comes up, is in portrait mode, covering roughly 1/3 of the screen. Keyboard which pops up is in Landscape mode (as expected). Only “cancel” button is visible.

The Code:

self.vc =[[ViewController alloc] init];

[[[CCDirector sharedDirector] openGLView] addSubview:self.vc.view];
[[SHK currentHelper] setRootViewController:vc];

[[SHK currentHelper] setCurrentView:vc];

SHKItem *item;
item  = [SHKItem text:@"I HATE MOSQUITOS"];
[SHKFacebook shareItem:item];

Library Verison :
ShareKit 2.0

Extra Info :

I tried using SHKMail component too, that too is behaving as SHKFacebook part.

I guess you are having this problem because you create ViewController in a wrong way.

Your vc doesn’t know about your current orientation because you don’t show it as a modal nor you added it to the navigation stack.

Probably, there is a much better way like you can use your application root controller.

You can probably get the right controller like this:

UIViewController* vc = [[(AppDelegate*)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate] window] rootViewController];

or like this:

[(AppDelegate*)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate] navController];

Depends on what you have in your AppDelegate (because of cocos2d templates)

So then do [[SHK currentHelper] setRootViewController:vc]; and everything will be ok. By the way, i didn’t find the method setCurrentView in SHK maybe because of versions, but if you have to set some view to SHK just use vc.view or application’s window. Don’t do anything to your GLView.
