I have videos throughout my app. Some using MPMoviePlayerController, others in a UIWebView with YouTube. I want my app to be totally portrait. However, I want to give the user the option to flip to landscape when there's a video (not force, but optional).
I've been searching the web for an answer, but I haven't found anything yet.
Thanks for your help!
I had the same issue and fixed it by adding this in my app delegate, basically allowing Landscape orientation only on subclasses of MPMoviePlayerViewController:
#import <MediaPlayer/MediaPlayer.h>
@implementation UIViewController (orientationFix)
-(NSUInteger) supportedInterfaceOrientations
{
if ([[self class] isSubclassOfClass:[MPMoviePlayerViewController class]]) {
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscape;
}
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait;
}
- (UIInterfaceOrientation)preferredInterfaceOrientationForPresentation
{
if ([[self class] isSubclassOfClass:[MPMoviePlayerViewController class]]) {
return UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft | UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight;
}
return UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait;
}
@end
@implementation MyAppDelegate
.
.
.
@end
either subclass it and -
(BOOL) shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation: (UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation {
//return landscape here
}
for ios6:
shouldAutorotate return no
or
use this:
MPMoviewPlayerController fullscreen playback rotation with underlying UIViewController with portrait mode only (rotation disallowed)
Add These Lines in AppDelegate.
-(BOOL)shouldAutorotate
{
return NO;
}
-(NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations
{
//LandScapeMode:- UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscape;
//PortraitMode:-
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait
}
- (UIInterfaceOrientation)preferredInterfaceOrientationForPresentation
{
//LandScapeMode:- UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight;
// ProtraitMode:-
return UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait
}
Add this in app delegate.
-(BOOL)shouldAutorotate
{
return NO;
}
-(NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations
{
//LandScapeMode:- UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscape;
//PortraitMode:-
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait
}
- (UIInterfaceOrientation)preferredInterfaceOrientationForPresentation
{
//LandScapeMode:- UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight;
// ProtraitMode:-
return UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait
}
self.moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:theurl];
self.moviePlayer.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleFullscreen;
self.moviePlayer.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleNone;
self.moviePlayer.view.transform = CGAffineTransformConcat(self.moviePlayer.view.transform, CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(M_PI_2));
UIWindow *backgroundWindow = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow];
[self.moviePlayer.view setFrame:backgroundWindow.frame];
[backgroundWindow addSubview:self.moviePlayer.view];
[self.moviePlayer play];
