What is the proper way to set an iPhone's orientation programmatically?

Question

Will Apple accept the following code?

[[UIDevice currentDevice] setOrientation:UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait];

When I write this, I see the following warning:

warning: 'UIDevice' may not respond to '-setOrientation:'

So what can I do to set the iPhone's orientation programmatically?

Answer 1

After writing [[UIDevice currentDevice] set ];, do you find option for setOrientation? Definitely it is a private API. Don't use it.

Answer 2

You should read the answers to this Stack Overflow question It has a long discussion with lots of code snippets about how to deal with the orientation and what to do about it.

Answer 3

Just declare the method in a category in the .h or .m file of wherever you use it.

@interface UIDevice (MyPrivateNameThatAppleWouldNeverUseGoesHere)

-(void) setOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)orientation;

@end

but also Apple rejects applications which use this code. So, use this for solution for call orienatation method.. and it works fine

UIViewController *viewController = [[UIViewController alloc] init];

[viewController setModalPresentationStyle:UIModalPresentationCurrentContext];

viewController.view.frame = CGRectZero;

[self presentModalViewController:viewController animated:NO];

[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:NO];

[viewController release];

sorry, if there is any mistake. i'm a fresher for iphone... :)

Answer 4

No, Apple rejects applications which use this code.
