Answer 1

You need to define the UIRotationGestureRecognize on the view that you want to rotate and than add a selector method and implement it like this.

Add this to you viewDidLoad method

UIRotationGestureRecognizer *rotate = [[UIRotationGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(rotation:)];

[myUIViewObject addGestureRecognizer:rotate];

[rotate release];

And then implement the method.

- (void) rotation:(UIRotationGestureRecognize *) sender
{
    CGAffineTransform myTransform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(sender.rotation);
    sender.view.transform = myTransform;
}

PS. myUIViewObject can be any UIView Object that you want to rotate.

you will find a lot of information on this here:
