Only ONE VIEW landscape mode
SWIFT4
Add below code lines to your AppDelegate
var orientationLock = UIInterfaceOrientationMask.portrait
func application(_ application: UIApplication, supportedInterfaceOrientationsFor window: UIWindow?) -> UIInterfaceOrientationMask {
return self.orientationLock
}
struct AppUtility {
static func lockOrientation(_ orientation: UIInterfaceOrientationMask) {
if let delegate = UIApplication.shared.delegate as? AppDelegate {
delegate.orientationLock = orientation
}
}
static func lockOrientation(_ orientation: UIInterfaceOrientationMask, andRotateTo rotateOrientation:UIInterfaceOrientation) {
self.lockOrientation(orientation)
UIDevice.current.setValue(rotateOrientation.rawValue, forKey: "orientation")
}
}
Add below code to the Controller you want to landscape
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
}
override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
AppDelegate.AppUtility.lockOrientation(UIInterfaceOrientationMask.landscapeRight, andRotateTo: UIInterfaceOrientation.landscapeRight)
}
override func viewWillDisappear(_ animated : Bool) {
super.viewWillDisappear(animated)
AppDelegate.AppUtility.lockOrientation(UIInterfaceOrientationMask.portrait, andRotateTo: UIInterfaceOrientation.portrait)
}
Swift
AppDelegate.swift
internal var shouldRotate = false
func application(_ application: UIApplication,
supportedInterfaceOrientationsFor window: UIWindow?) -> UIInterfaceOrientationMask {
return shouldRotate ? .allButUpsideDown : .portrait
}
Your landscape view controller
let appDelegate = UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate
appDelegate.shouldRotate = true // or false to disable rotation
Objective-C
AppDelegate.h
@property (assign, nonatomic) BOOL shouldRotate;
AppDelegate.m
- (UIInterfaceOrientationMask)application:(UIApplication *)application
supportedInterfaceOrientationsForWindow:(UIWindow *)window {
return self.shouldRotate ? UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAllButUpsideDown
: UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait;
}
Your landscape view controller
AppDelegate *appDelegate = (AppDelegate *)[UIApplication sharedApplication].delegate;
[appDelegate setShouldRotate:YES]; // or NO to disable rotation
I am gonna suppose you are targeting iOS 7 here (using XCode 5.1, I think I am right).
First, you have to understand that in order to open even just one view out of over 40 in landscape, your app should allow both landscape and portrait interface orientations.
It is the case by default, but you can check it in your target's settings, General
tab, Deployment Info
section (see screenshot below).
Then, because you allowed both landscape and portrait for the entire app, you will have to tell every portrait-only UIViewController
that it should not autorotate, adding this method's implementation:
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotate {
return NO;
}
Finally, for your specific landscape-only controller, and because you said you are presenting it modally, you can just implement these methods:
- (UIInterfaceOrientation)preferredInterfaceOrientationForPresentation {
return UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft; // or Right of course
}
- (UIInterfaceOrientationMask)supportedInterfaceOrientations {
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscape;
}
Hope this will help,
