Question

I have an issue and here how it goes,

I have a view with a subview, the subview is loaded conditionally, only if the parent view is setHidden property is set to YES;

something like [parentView setHidden:YES] and if([parentView isHidden]),

I want to call a method when the orientation changes and that is the cited snippet above, but I have observed that the method shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation is called 4 times during loading and 2 times during runtime, since the method is called more than once, how can I possibly implement a method call ideally since apple’s existing method doesn’t seem to give me the intuitiveness to put my custom method call with the existing method.

If I would hack this thing, it is possible, but somebody might have a better idea before resorting to things that in the future would just cause me more trouble than benefit.

TIA

Have you tried with

- (void)willAnimateRotationToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation 
                                         duration:(NSTimeInterval)duration {
    // check here for your desired rotation
}
