Question

I have two ViewControllers – the main one is Portrait only – the second, which displays a WebView loaded with a YouTube video can rotate to any orientation. When it is dismissed in Landscape, returning to the main ViewController, the status bar is left in Landscape mode. I know when the YouTube view is dismissed and have placed the following line on code in the called method:

UIApplication.SharedApplication.SetStatusBarOrientation(UIInterfaceOrientation.Portrait,true);

But it has no effect on the status bar. Is there some other place to set the orientation? Other ideas?

Thanks,
Rick

Answer 1

Fixed the problem by adding the following to the AppDelegate

public override UIInterfaceOrientationMask GetSupportedInterfaceOrientations (UIApplication application, UIWindow forWindow)
{
     return UIInterfaceOrientationMask.AllButUpsideDown;
}

Then this code actually did what it is supposed to:

UIApplication.SharedApplication.SetStatusBarOrientation(UIInterfaceOrientation.Portrait,true);
