Rotate UIView in Cocoa Touch

Question

I have seen other people who have had this question, but most of the responses aren't working on the latest 3.0 build of iPhone OS. Anyway, I'm wondering how I can programatically rotate a UIView without any input from the accelerometer. The code I have found so far:

CGAffineTransform transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(3.14159/2);
view.transform = transform;
CGRect contentRect = CGRectMake(-80, 80, 480, 320);
view.bounds = contentRect;

However, this doesn't work for UIView (in my testing). Is there something I have to do my AppDelegate in order for this/other code to function, or is there a better way of doing the same thing?

Thanks for any help!

Answer 1

this works for me

 CGAffineTransform transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(M_PI_2);
 self.view.transform = transform;

 // Repositions and resizes the view.
 CGRect contentRect = CGRectMake(0,0, 480, 320);
 self.view.bounds = contentRect;

Answer 2

I had success with that:

CATransform3D rotationTransform = CATransform3DIdentity;
[view.layer removeAllAnimations];
rotationTransform = CATransform3DRotate(rotationTransform, angle, 0.0, 0.0, 1);
view.layer.transform = rotationTransform;
