presentModalViewController in landscape after portrait viewController

Question

I have a main viewController that is in portrait mode all the time.

I want then to presentModalViewController, but it will come from the left (not from bottom of the screen) in landscape.

Is it possible?

tnx

Can you add the code for your modal view controller? – Beutler

Answer 1

In your modal view controller implementation, override -shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:

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

This is the opposite of what i need. – Jeaniejeanine

Can you rephrase your question? I'm not sure which option you're asking. – Beutler

My main controller is in portrait. Then i turn the device into landscape, but the main controller remains in portrait. Then i want to show another view controller in landscape, and it will show from the bottom. In this situation if you hold the device in vertical(portrait), the new view will come from the left. – Jeaniejeanine

Have you tried UIInterfaceOrientationLandscape in the overridden method above? – Beutler

Answer 2

I came across this problem too. So i just used the modaltransitionstyle so it didn't look to iffy.

Hope this helps.

viewController.modalTransitionStyle = *modaltransitionstyle*;

[self presentModalViewController:viewController animated:YES];
