How to disable and enable auto rotate on swift?

Question

On general settings I allow portrait and landscapeleft , landscaperight modes. I want to turn off landscape modes. On viewController I write this code:

override func shouldAutorotate() -> Bool {

        return false

}

However, the auto rotation works ignoring this function. How do I disable and enable autorotation on swift? IOS programming

I had the same problem, i have fixed that.

Follow-

This will help you 😊

Answer 2

It might be the right code, but not in the right View Controller. For example, if the View Controller is embedded in a UINavigationController, the navigation controller can still rotate, causing the View Controller to still rotate. It really depends on your specific situation.

Answer 3

You can do it by creating a subclass of UINavigationController and inside that, override the should AutoRotate function,then

• return false for the viewControllers in which you want to disable autorotation

• return true for the viewControllers in which you want autorotation

  import UIKit    
  
  class CustomNavigationController: UINavigationController {
  
  override func shouldAutorotate() -> Bool {
      if !viewControllers.isEmpty {
          // Check if this ViewController is the one you want to disable roration on
          if topViewController!.isKindOfClass(ViewController) {               //ViewController is the name of the topmost viewcontroller
  
              // If true return false to disable it
              return false
          }
      }
      // Else normal rotation enabled
      return true
     }
  }
  

If you want to disable autorotation throughout the navigation controller, remove the if condition and return false always
