Disable autorotate for view in tabview controller - xcode

Question

Hi how i can disable the autorotation for a view in a tabview controller??
i have testet to disable in a navigationclass, but thats not possible.
Thats my didFinishLaunching in the AppDelegate.m.
I hope everyone have an idea??
Thanks!
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
// Set the application defaults
NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
NSDictionary *appDefaults = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:#"YES"
forKey:#"myKeyName"];
[defaults registerDefaults:appDefaults];
[defaults synchronize];
[self setupFetchedResultsController];
if (![[self.fetchedResultsController fetchedObjects] count] > 0 ) {
NSLog(#"!!!!! ~~> There's nothing in the database so defaults will be inserted");
[self importCoreDataDefaultRoles];
[self importCoreDataDefaultMaterials];
[self importCoreDataDefaultPersons];
}
else {
NSLog(#"There's stuff in the database so skipping the import of default data");
}
// TAB BAR
UITabBarController *tabBarController = (UITabBarController *)self.window.rootViewController;
// Override point for customization after application launch.
if ([[UIDevice currentDevice] userInterfaceIdiom] == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad) {

Disabling entire UIViewController auto-rotation
A UIViewController embedded in a UITabBarController is relying upon that last controller to handle the -supportedInterfaceOrientations messages. It is not ; basically the same problem as in this post: iOS 6 rotations: supportedInterfaceOrientations doesn´t work?
You must subclass your UITabBarController, and add this code to query each tab:
// In UITabBarController subclass
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotate;
{
return YES;
}
- (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations
{
UIViewController * top;
UIViewController * tab = self.selectedViewController;
if([tab isKindOfClass:
([UINavigationController class])]) {
top = [((UINavigationController *)tab)
topViewController];
}
if ([top respondsToSelector:#selector(supportedInterfaceOrientations)])
return [top supportedInterfaceOrientations];
else
return [super supportedInterfaceOrientations];
}
Of course, you must still respect the general auto-rotation rules and set the flags in the plist.
For each UIViewController subclass you want to prevent orientation changes, respond to supportedInterfaceOrientations as so:
// In UIViewController subclass
- (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations
{
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait;
// Or whatever orientation you support
}
See this post for further details: Handling autorotation for one view controller in iOS7

Rotating a UIViewController except one or more subviews
Use this method:
-(void)counterRotateView:(UIView *)view
toInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation
duration:(NSTimeInterval)duration
{
NSParameterAssert(view);
CALayer* layer = view.layer;
CABasicAnimation* animation;
animation = [CABasicAnimation animationWithKeyPath:#"transform.rotation.z"];
CGFloat tau = 0;
switch (toInterfaceOrientation) {
case UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft:
tau = 0.5; break;
case UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight:
tau = -0.5; break;
case UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown:
tau = 1; break;
case UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait:
default:
break;
}
animation.toValue = [NSNumber numberWithFloat:tau * M_PI];
animation.duration = duration;
animation.cumulative = YES;
animation.repeatCount = 1;
animation.removedOnCompletion = NO;
animation.fillMode = kCAFillModeForwards;
[layer addAnimation:animation forKey:#"transform.rotation.z"];
}
And invoke it from here:
-(void) willRotateToInterfaceOrientation:
(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation
duration:(NSTimeInterval)duration
{
[self counterRotateView:someView
toInterfaceOrientation:toInterfaceOrientation
duration:duration];
}
