overriding shouldAutorotate not working in Swift 3
I don't know why is a vote to close the question if I can reproduce this behavior a lots of times. The UIViewController
is inside a UINavigationController
opened modally.
This is what I did to solve the problem.
I create this class and I set to the UINavigationController
that containt the UIViewController
that I want to prevent to rotate
class NavigationController: UINavigationController {
override var shouldAutorotate: Bool {
return false
}
override var supportedInterfaceOrientations: UIInterfaceOrientationMask {
return .portrait
}
}
And thats it, it works for me
Add this code to AppDelegate.swift
var orientationLock = UIInterfaceOrientationMask.all
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 to the viewcontroller that you want to force an orientation:
override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewDidAppear(animated)
//let value = UIInterfaceOrientation.landscapeLeft.rawValue
//UIDevice.current.setValue(value, forKey: "orientation")
AppDelegate.AppUtility.lockOrientation(.landscapeLeft)
}
