Native orientation and resolution
capiright: “In this tutorial, you will learn how to support universal iDevice resolutions (iphone 1-5, ipad, ipod touch, …). This method works for Universal builds. Device rotations gain iOS support, including animations.”
Shiva setup
– Remove any device orientation call (setOption)
XCode setup
– Remove MainWindow_XXX.xib from the info.plist or from Targets->Summary->Main Interface. These fields should be empty.
– [Optional] Select the supported orientations in the same place. I selected both landscape views.
– [Optional] Add iphone5 splash screen
XCode code changes
[Optional] To support native Landscape mode, replace (in the same class under function initWithFrame)
if (self = [super initWithFrame: aRect])
With
CGRect rc = CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f, aRect.size.height, aRect.size.width);
if (self = [super initWithFrame: rc])
Go to the main function in S3DEngine_IOS_Main.m, and replace
int retVal = UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, nil);
With
int retVal = UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, @"S3DEngine_AppDelegate" );
In S3DEngine_AppDelegate didFinishLaunching, add this code in the beginning:
//CAPI
//I create the window programatically
//Create the main window
window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]] ; //]rc];
//Create the view controller
viewController = [[S3DEngine_ViewController alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
viewController.wantsFullScreenLayout = YES;
//Create glView
viewController.glView = [[S3DEngine_EAGLView alloc] initWithFrame:window.bounds];
viewController.view = viewController.glView;
self.window.rootViewController = viewController;
[Optional]: some external tools require you to initialize them from application:didFinishLaunching:WithOptions. To do that, just copy the entire function into that delegate and finish it by
return YES;
To support interface rotation to be managed by the operating system, make sure to implement the interface orientation delegates under S3DEngine_ViewController.
For iOS 5 and below:
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
return UIInterfaceOrientationIsLandscape(interfaceOrientation);
}
For iOS 6:
-(BOOL)shouldAutorotate
{
return YES;
}
-(NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations
{
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscape;
}
Clean up your code: You can remove any IBOutlet prefix from you data members in the S3DEngine_ViewController and S3DEngine_AppDelegate
