Orientation issue while presenting Modal ViewController
- by Jacky Boy
Current scenario:
Right now I am showing a UIViewController using a segue with the style Modal and presentation Sheet. This Modal gets its superview bounds change, in order to have the dimensions I want, like this:
- (void)viewWillLayoutSubviews
{
[super viewWillLayoutSubviews];
self.view.superview.bounds = WHBoundsRect;
}
The only allowed orientations are UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft and UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight. Since the Modal has some TextFields and the keyboard would be over the Modal itself, I am changing its center so it moves a bit to the top.
The problem:
What I am noticing right now, is that I am unable to work with the Y coordinate. In order for it move vertically (remember it's on landscape) I need to work with the X. The problem is that when it's UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft I need to come with a negative X. And when it's UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight I need to come with a positive X. So it seems that the X/Y Coordinate System is "glued" to the top left corner while in Portrait and when an orientation occurs, it's still there:
What I have done
So I have something like this:
UIInterfaceOrientation orientation = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] statusBarOrientation];
NSInteger newX = 0.0f;
if (orientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft)
{
// Logic for calculating the negative X.
}
else
{
// Logic for calculating the positive X.
}
It works exactly like I want, but it seems a very fragile implementation. Am I missing something? Is this the expected behaviour?
