If you have a need to place a view controller directly into a window, without it being a child of that window’s root view controller, then you’ll likely have found that rotation doesn’t happen automatically for you. Which is a serious pain. This class has the answer.
Make your controller class a subclass of AQSelfRotatingViewController
. Before adding its -view
to your UIWindow
, be sure to call -viewWillAppear:
, and also call -viewDidAppear:
after adding it. Likewise call -viewWillDisappear:
and -viewDidDisappear:
when removing the view from the window.
That’s it. No, really— that’s it.
