Rotate a custom UITableViewCell

Question

I have a custom UITableViewCell which contains several UIButtons. Each button's frame position is relative to the cell width. I set autoresizingMask=UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth so it will adjust the cell width and the button positions properly when the application starts with the device either in landscape or portrait mode.

The issue is when the device is rotated from one mode to the other, the buttons do not adjust positions because the UITableViewCell is reusable. In other words, the cell is not initialized based on the new UITalbeView width because the cell's function initWithStyle is called before the device is rotated and is not called again after the device rotation. Any suggestions?

Since UITableViewCell is also a UIView, you can override setFrame method. Everytime that your table view rotates, this method will be called for all cells.

-(void)setFrame:(CGRect)frame
{
    [super setFrame:frame];

    //Do your rotation stuffs here :)
}
