Question

I have been having issues forever with an app, and getting certain views to rotate.

I already know that no view in a tab bar controller can rotate, unless ALL are allowed to rotate. I also know that no view within a navigation controller can rotate unless the top most view is allowed to rotate.

I used IB mostly to setup my app.

In the MainWindow.xib I have the AppDelegate Object, Window, TabBarController, and then a separate UIViewController.

Within one of the tabs of the tab bar, I have an IBAction linked to a UIButton with the following code:

-(IBAction)stuff {
[self presentViewController:buletinss animated:YES completion:nil];
}

The view controller is declared in the header file as an IBOutlet, and is linked from that tab class to the UIViewController. In IB, I then set the class for that view controller to a UIViewController class I set up, and return YES to allow it to rotate.

However, it still will not rotate.

I thought that since it was not a part of the tab bar, and not pushed from a navigation controller, that it would be allowed to rotate, but I am having no luck. Please any help?

Here is full code:

First, the .h and .m for the view that has the button:

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface BulletinViewController : UIViewController {
IBOutlet UIWebView *worship;
IBOutlet UIActivityIndicatorView *activity;
NSTimer *timer;
IBOutlet UIViewController *buletinss;

}
-(IBAction)stuff;
@property (nonatomic, retain) UIActivityIndicatorView *activity;

@end

and the .m

#import "BulletinViewController.h"

@implementation BulletinViewController

-(IBAction)stuff {

[self presentViewController:buletinss animated:YES completion:nil];
}

Now the .h and the .m of the view it is presenting

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface TestBulletinViewController : UIViewController

@end

and the .m

#import "TestBulletinViewController.h"

@implementation TestBulletinViewController


-(BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation         {
return YES;
}
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
}

- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
{
[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}

@end

Answer 1

Try change this code

[self presentViewController:buletinss animated:YES completion:nil];

to

[self presentModalViewController:buletinss animated:YES];

UPD: in iOS 6 you must:

1)

Replace

[window addSubview:buletinss.view];

with

window.rootViewController = buletinss;

2)

Add this code lines

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotate
{
    return YES;
}

- (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations
{
    return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscape;
}
