iOS 4.3 user interface orientation issue with 20 points of status bar

Question

I have next view controllers:

• FirstViewController

• SecondViewController

• ThirdViewController

The goal is: present ThirdViewController via SecondViewController.

In FirstViewController I present SecondViewController using method below:

[self presentModalViewController:secondViewController animated:NO];

When the SecondViewController is loaded I present ThirdViewController in -viewDidAppear: delegate callback method:

- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super viewDidAppear:animated];
    [self presentModalViewController:thirdViewController animated:NO];
}

So, as I think the scheme for present view controllers is already known for all of us. Maybe the design of the code is not good, but I have made this solution and have problem described below.

When the ThirdViewController is loaded I have issues with 20 points (but just for iOS 4.3, other versions work good).

I have attached file that shows my issue.

As you can see on the left side I have unneeded offset. After rotate screen this issue disappear.

When I print ThirdViewController views frame it shows me frame = (0 0; 480 300). Maybe the issue in SecondViewControllers view.

About rotation. I have implemented these methods below in each controllers:

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotate
{
    return YES;
}

- (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations
{
    return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscape;
}

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
    if (interfaceOrientation==UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft || interfaceOrientation==UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight)
        return YES;

    return NO;
}

(UPDATE:) Yes I have found the issue right now and the SecondViewController frame = (0 20; 300 480); but I don't understand why.

I add this method for check current orientation:

-(void) getCurrentOrientation{

    UIInterfaceOrientation orientation = [[UIDevice currentDevice] orientation];

    if(orientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait){
        NSLog(@"portrait");
    } else if(orientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight) {
        NSLog(@"LandscapeRight");
    } else if(orientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft) {
        NSLog(@"LandscapeLeft");
    }
}

and check it in -viewDidAppear: method and it show that current orientation is portrait instead of landscape mode that I setup in shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation callback.

Also, I have found that for iPad iOS 4.3 it works good.

I did all test on iPhone Simulator.

I have added this code to my base view controller, but it still does not work for me.

- (void)willRotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation duration:(NSTimeInterval)duration
{
    if (UIInterfaceOrientationIsLandscape(self.interfaceOrientation)) {
        //Landscape orientation code

        if (IS_IPAD) {
            [self.view setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 1024, 748)];
        }
        else if (IS_IPHONE) {
            [self.view setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 480, 300)];
        }
        else if (IS_IPHONE_5) {
            [self.view setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 568, 300)];
        }

        NSLog(@"landscape");
        NSLog(@"%@", [NSValue valueWithCGRect:self.view.frame]);

    }else {
        //portrait orientation code
        NSLog(@"portrait");
    }
}

(WORK UPDATE:)

I fixed this problem using this code below:

[UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarHidden = YES;
if (self.thirdViewController) self.thirdViewController = nil;
self.thirdViewController = [[ThirdViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"ThirdViewController"] bundle:nil];
[self presentModalViewController:self.self.thirdViewController animated:NO];
[UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarHidden = NO;

Alexander, could you please try below code. It is work in 4.3 (add to SecondViewController):

- (void)willRotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation duration:(NSTimeInterval)duration {
    [super willRotateToInterfaceOrientation:toInterfaceOrientation duration:duration];
    [UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarHidden = YES;
}

- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated {
    [super viewDidAppear:animated];
    AMThirdViewController* th = [[AMThirdViewController alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
    [self presentModalViewController:th animated:NO];
    [UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarHidden = NO;
}
