iOS: specific Landscape mode

Question

My app has Portrait mode only, as follow image: Device Orientation

But it needs to support Landscape mode in customized UIViewController. I have override follow functions:

    - (BOOL)shouldAutorotate
    {
        return NO;
    }

    - (UIInterfaceOrientationMask)supportedInterfaceOrientations
    {
        return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscape;
    }

    - (UIInterfaceOrientation)preferredInterfaceOrientationForPresentation
    {
        return UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight;
    }

    - (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
    {
        return UIInterfaceOrientationIsLandscape(interfaceOrientation);
    }

It worked in most cases, but somehow it would acted like follow image: problem picture

There seems to have a conflict between the device orientation and MyViewController orientation.

PS: My device is iPhone 6s Plus, system is iOS 10.0, this problem also exist in iPhone 6s.

can i suggest you alternative of achieve this ? – KKRocks Dec 06 '16 at 05:17 — KKRocks, Dec 06 '16 at 05:17

Try this .

AppDelegate.h

@property () BOOL restrictRotation;

AppDelegate.m

-(NSUInteger)application:(UIApplication *)application supportedInterfaceOrientationsForWindow:(UIWindow *)window
{
if(self.restrictRotation)
    return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait;
else
    return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAll; // you can change orientation for specific type . for ex landscape left
}

ViewController

-(void) restrictRotation:(BOOL) restriction
{
    AppDelegate* appDelegate = (AppDelegate*)[UIApplication sharedApplication].delegate;
    appDelegate.restrictRotation = restriction;
}

viewDidLoad

[self restrictRotation:YES]; or NO

you need to write this line in every viewcontroller where you need to modify

My project is designed to used by other developers as static library, so modify AppDelegate may not suitable. Thx all the same. – zxbeef Dec 06 '16 at 05:48
My code is worked well in most cases, but the MyViewController has not spin fortuitous. And I don't know why... – zxbeef Dec 06 '16 at 05:52

You can use following code in AppDelegate .This is only possible solution which will work Swift code

 func application(_ application: UIApplication, 
supportedInterfaceOrientationsFor window: UIWindow?) -> 
UIInterfaceOrientationMask  {

        let vc = self.window?.currentViewController()
        if vc?.isKind(of: YourDesiredVCToChangeOrientation.self) == true {
            return UIInterfaceOrientationMask.landscape;
        } else {
            return UIInterfaceOrientationMask.all ;
        }

    }
