I have a UIView as a XIB in Portrait mode.
This view is added programmatically to the viewcontroller like this:
NSArray *nibObjects = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"InputView" owner:self options:nil];
InputView *inputView = (InputView*)[nibObjects objectAtIndex:0];
[self.view addSubview:inputView];
This view has autoresizing masks set up properly and rotates fine when the orientation changes from Portrait to landscape.
However, if the orientation is already landscape and I create the view after the orientation change, it has its initial portrait orientation.
Is there a way to tell the view to initialize or resize itself to portrait by using its masks?
Thanks in advance for any reply!
EDIT: Using the suggestions of occulus and Inder Kumar Rathore (thanks guys!), I altered the code to this:
InputView *inputView = (InputView*)[nibObjects objectAtIndex:0];
[self.view addSubview:inputView];
[self.view setNeedsLayout];
[self.view layoutSubviews];
[self.view layoutIfNeeded];
UIDeviceOrientation orientation = [[UIDevice currentDevice] orientation];
[self shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:orientation];
Unfortunately, there is no change at all. I think I found someone asking the same question:
When adding a sub view the view does not resize if the app is in landscape mode
The answer identifies the problem correctly, but is not very encouraging... Sure, I could create two nibs or resize the frame, but this seems so contrary to the idea of auto-resizing. I find it hard to believe that there is no way to tell a nib after awakening and adding it to a view to use its autoresize features...something that works flawless when the device rotates.
EDIT 2:
The solution of idz works:
InputView *inputView = (InputView*)[nibObjects objectAtIndex:0];
[self.view addSubview:inputView];
inputView.frame = self.view.bounds;
[inputView show];
Thanks!
