iOS Question DEVICE ORIENTATION

[kreativa]

Hi,

just a question.
Can i create a app with a portrait orientation with a single page only with landscape?
Thanks

Not really. There is no "non-hacky" way to change the orientation of a page. So while it is possible to restrict the page to a specific orientation, the page will not rotate automatically so it is not really useful.

And how is possible to restrict orientation ? I am also interested in.
I see these examples in Objective-C but I cannot convert them in B4I:

portrait
     -(BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation{return(toInterfaceOrientation ==UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait);}   

     -(BOOL)shouldAutorotate {return YES;}-(NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations {returnUIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait;}

landscape

     -(BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation{[image_signature setImage:[self resizeImage:image_signature.image]];return(toInterfaceOrientation ==UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft);}
     -(BOOL)shouldAutorotate {return YES;}
     -(NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations {[image_signature setImage:[self resizeImage:image_signature.image]];returnUIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscapeLeft;}

These methods will not really restrict the orientation. The orientation will only change after the user changes the orientation, so they are not really useful (this is why they are not exposed).

And how is possible to lock the screen as phone.setorientation of B4A?

See my answer in post #2.

So while it is possible to restrict the page to a specific orientation....

How could I do just this?

This feature is not exposed in B4i.
