The status bar and screen will be rotated with animation to the desired orientation 'portrait' or 'landscape'.
To use the AppDelegate must have the main view controller that extends CDVViewController as a member variable called viewController. This main view controller header file should have the below allowed orientations variable introduced.
@interface MainViewController : CDVViewController {
NSMutableArray *allowedOrientations;
}
@property (nonatomic, retain) NSMutableArray *allowedOrientations;
Source file should have the allowedOrientations synthesized.
@synthesize allowedOrientations;
Then perform setup in viewDidLoad method. UIDeviceOrientationPortrait can be replaced with UIDeviceOrientationLandscapeRight depending on desired start up orientation.
- (void) viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
self.allowedOrientations = [NSMutableArray array];
[self.allowedOrientations addObject:[NSNumber numberWithInt:UIDeviceOrientationPortrait]];
}
Finally implement shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation method with the following.
- (BOOL) shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
return [allowedOrientations containsObject:[NSNumber numberWithInt:interfaceOrientation]];
}
