Question

I have a simple UIWebView that I’ve added to my UIViewController in the viewDidLoad method:

CGRect rect = CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.width, self.view.frame.size.height);
self.webView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:rect];
self.webView.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight;
[self.view addSubview:self.webView];

And it looks great, but when I rotate the phone, the width and height remain the same so now it’s too wide for the update view frame. I also tried using self.view.bounds, but it didn’t make any difference.

So how do you ensure that a view that is fullscreen on load, stays the same size when rotated? (without using IB)

Answer 1

What you are doing is correct & should work in most scenarios. But since I have no idea about your View Stack. I will suggest a sure shot way –

- (void)willAnimateRotationToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation 
                                         duration:(NSTimeInterval)duration
{
    CGRect rect;
    if(toInterfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft||toInterfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight)
    {
       rect = CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.width, self.view.frame.size.height);
    }
    else
    {
        //some other dimensions.
    }
     self.webView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:rect];
}
