I have created two .xib
file one for portrait mode and other for landscape mode,
on each rotation i want to load respective .xib
file,
Here is my code snippet,
ViewAppDelegate.m class
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
if ([UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarOrientation==UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait | [UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarOrientation==UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown)
{
self.viewController = [[OrientationViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"PortraitController" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *navigationController=[[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:self.viewController];
self.window.rootViewController = navigationController;
}
else{
self.viewController = [[OrientationViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"LandscapeController" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *navigationController=[[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:self.viewController];
self.window.rootViewController = navigationController;
}
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
ViewController.m class
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
}
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation{
return YES;
}
-(void)viewWillLayoutSubviews{
if ([UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarOrientation==UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait | [UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarOrientation==UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown)
{
[[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"PortraitController" owner:self options:nil];
}
else{
[[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"LandscapeController" owner:self options:nil];
}
}
After writing this much of code my app shows nothing.. it shows only black screen.
please suggest some solution.
once try like this
[[UIDevice currentDevice] beginGeneratingDeviceOrientationNotifications];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(changeOrientation) name:UIDeviceOrientationDidChangeNotification object:nil];
add this method into the app view controller for getting notification.
-(void)changeOrientation {
UIDeviceOrientation orientation = [UIDevice currentDevice].orientation;
if (orientation == UIDeviceOrientationPortrait || orientation == UIDeviceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown) {
[[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"Portrait" owner:self options:nil];
}
else {
[[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"Landscape" owner:self options:nil];
}
}
you can use willRotateToInterfaceOrientation
in viewController.m to achieve this goal
-(void)willRotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation duration:(NSTimeInterval)duration
{
if( UIInterfaceOrientationIsLandscape(toInterfaceOrientation) )
{
[[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed: [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@-landscape", NSStringFromClass([self class])]
owner: self
options: nil];
[self viewDidLoad];
}
else
{
[[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed: [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", NSStringFromClass([self class])]
owner: self
options: nil];
[self viewDidLoad];
}
}
you can check orientation on your viewwillAppear
method like below and load xibs respectively:
-(void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated{
[super viewWillAppear:YES];
if (UIInterfaceOrientationIsPortrait(self.interfaceOrientation)){
[[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed: [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", NSStringFromClass([self class])]
owner: self
options: nil];
[self viewDidLoad];
}
else
{
[[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed: [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@-landscape", NSStringFromClass([self class])]
owner: self
options: nil];
[self viewDidLoad];
}
}
Here, I have name xibs like
Portrait: viewControllerName
Landscape: viewControllerName-landscape
and I have again called viewDidload method to load new xib again.
Another way to Achieve this is:
GPOrientationKit
It is also a nice one!!
Or,
You can create change frame of your controls on rotating by creating 2 xibs with all controls having same tag name and make one LayoutManager class
to map the tags and fetch frames and assign respective landscape/portrait frames(by fetching from xibs).
-(void)setFramesForPotrait
{
// set frames here
}
-(void)setFramesForLandscaeMode
{
// set frames here
}
-(bool)shouldAutorotate.....
{
return Yes
}
-()willAutoRotate......
{
if(orientation = uiinterfaceOrientationPotrait)
{
[self setFramesForPotrait];
}
else
{
[self setFramesForLandscape];
}
Why don't u set frames for both landscape and portrait in single view controller
