I know this question has been asked before here iOS 6 shouldAutorotate: is NOT being called. But my scenario is a bit different.
Initially, on application launch I load a viewController like
self.window.rootViewController = self.viewController;
and When this view is loaded I am using a custom tabBar view (inherited from UIView) which has 5 UINavigationController for each tab. The code of this viewController Class is:
\\\ .h File
@protocol tabbarDelegate <NSObject>
-(void)touchBtnAtIndex:(NSInteger)index;
@end
@class tabbarView;
@interface ViewController : UIViewController <tabbarDelegate>
@property(nonatomic,strong) tabbarView *tabbar;
@property(nonatomic,strong) NSArray *arrayViewcontrollers;
@property(nonatomic,strong) UINavigationController * navigation1;
@property(nonatomic,strong) UINavigationController * navigation2;
@property(nonatomic,strong) UINavigationController * navigation3;
@property(nonatomic,strong) UINavigationController * navigation4;
@property(nonatomic,strong) UINavigationController * navigation5;
@end
and m file is
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
CGFloat orginHeight = self.view.frame.size.height- 60;
_tabbar = [[tabbarView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, orginHeight, 320, 60)];
_tabbar.delegate = self;
[self.view addSubview:_tabbar];
_arrayViewcontrollers = [self getViewcontrollers];
[self touchBtnAtIndex:0];
}
-(void)touchBtnAtIndex:(NSInteger)index \\This delegate method is called on every custom tabBar button clicked.
{
UIView* currentView = [self.view viewWithTag:SELECTED_VIEW_CONTROLLER_TAG];
[currentView removeFromSuperview];
UINavigationController *viewController = [_arrayViewcontrollers objectAtIndex:index];
viewController.view.tag = SELECTED_VIEW_CONTROLLER_TAG;
viewController.view.frame = CGRectMake(0,0,self.view.frame.size.width, self.view.frame.size.height- 50);
[self.view insertSubview:viewController.view belowSubview:_tabbar];
}
-(NSArray *)getViewcontrollers
{
FirstViewController *firstController = [[FirstViewController alloc]initWithNibName:@"FirstViewController" bundle:nil];
SecondViewController *secondController = [[SecondViewController alloc]initWithNibName:@"SecondViewController" bundle:nil];
ThirdViewController *thirdController = [[ThirdViewController alloc]initWithNibName:@"ThirdViewController" bundle:nil];
ForthViewController *forthController = [[ForthViewController alloc]initWithNibName:@"ForthViewController" bundle:nil];
FifthViewController *fifthController = [[FifthViewController alloc]initWithNibName:@"FifthViewController" bundle:nil];
navigation1 = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:firstController];
navigation2 = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:secondController];
navigation3 = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:thirdController];
navigation4 = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:forthController];
navigation5 = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:fifthController];
NSArray* tabBarItems = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:navigation1,navigation2,navigation3,navigation4,navigation5, nil];
return tabBarItems;
}
I have also implemented UINavigationController's category for rotation as:
@implementation UINavigationController (autoRotation)
-(BOOL)shouldAutorotate {
return [[self.viewControllers lastObject] shouldAutorotate];
}
-(NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations {
return [[self.viewControllers lastObject] supportedInterfaceOrientations];
}
- (UIInterfaceOrientation)preferredInterfaceOrientationForPresentation {
return [[self.viewControllers lastObject] preferredInterfaceOrientationForPresentation];
}
My Problem is that only supportedInterfaceOrientations
method is called and shouldAutorotate
is never called. The main Window's rootViewController is ViewController
class, not any UINavigationController
or UITabBarController
. What I am doing wrong? Please help me.
