Is it possible (in v1.5) to fix a particular screens orientation? i.e keep it in portrait even when the iphone is physically rotated? Been looking through the xcode project and found various references to 'autorotate' but not sure where to go from here?

This is a good question. Managing screen rotation on a screen-by-screen basis isn't possible without major programming kung-fu. The current setup supports screen rotations for all the screens. You could easily PREVENT the orientation from rotating but it would prevent it for ALL SCREENS, not just a few. It seems like it would be any easy adjustment to control how one screen rotates but it's not. It's horribly complex because most apps are using the Tabbed layout. The tabbed layout is what makes it difficult. We do hope to figure this out and allow you to control rotation on a screen-by-screen basis but it won't be for awhile (at best). You could do some research (Google) and try to get a deeper understanding as to how this is working. Search UITabBarController and screen orientation. The way this is working now is this: All screens are sub-classes of the BT_rotatingNavController controller. In this class, you'll see a canRotate setting (current set to 1). Setting this to zero AND setting the same flag in BT_rotatingTabBarController will prevent it from rotating. If you can figure out how to control one screen - post your finding for others.

Ok thanks David - will probably prevent rotation for all screens in this app since portrait suits this particular app better. Cheers

Hello David. I tested the change in both BT_rotatingNavController.m and BT_rotatingTabBarController.m to zero, but it still rotates. what am I doing wrong?

I fixed it!

what did you do to fix this. Mine is still rotating. And do you also have to set the if statement ==0 which is right underneath the initial?

To prevent the screen from rotating for ALL screens, there are tow files that needed adjusted. Both need the same easy change, both are in the BT_Layout folder. BT_rotatingNavController BT_rotatingTabBarController In each of these files, set BOOL canRotate = 1; to 0 (1 is yes, zero is no). Your code will look like this when done BOOOL canRotate = 0; Again, do this in both files and nothing will rotate. I have not tested this on iPad.

Has this been changed with the recent update? How do I prevent rotation for all screens on small devices? Thanks.

SYes, the prevent screen rotation option was added recently, a few weeks ago. ee the change log in a v1.5 app control panel if you're unsure about when your project source-code was last changed.

The update does not offer an option to prevent rotation on small devices. How can this be done? Thanks.

Core Settings > Allow Rotation. Choose 'only large devices allow rotations' means DONT allow rotations on small devices. Same thing as 'prevent' rotation on small devices.

How do I prevent rotation on large devices? Thanks.

You can't prevent rotation on large devices from the control panel - iPads will always rotate. You could prevent this by hacking in the source. It's an easy change in two files. Return 'NO' instead of 'YES' in the shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation method. Do this in two files: BT_Layout > BT_rotatingNavController.m BT_Layout > BT_rotatingTabBarController.m

How do I allow all my screens to rotate in v1.4?

Hi David, I've been looking en trying (for hours and hours) to accomplish my whish to set a (specific) screen to only landscape mode. Is there any progress on this?? If needed I am willing to pay for it!!! It could be a (temporary) solution to hardcode it (no problem) but it would be great if every screen in advanced details would get an option for this. Hope to hear soon from you 'cause I (and think many others) really need this feature. Thanks in advance and Best Regards, Danny

replying for the sake of subscribing to this thread. It seems to be very pertinent to my most recent app.

Digging up an old post, however this one is reference quite a bit. What would be the steps to prevent landscape in android. I think it has to do with BT_Device but want to make sure. Not seeing the other calls described here anywhere in the android source. Thanks

Sorry, I have a rejection and an application for not allowing vertical rotation. I accept that blocks the horizontal rotation but I allow rotation of the vertical ipad (home button above) - The reason for rejection is 10.1. Can you help me please!

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to have an app stay in landscape mode permanently?
