Setting supported interface orientation as 'All' only MPMoviePlayerController is active in swift

I am trying to set interface orientation only MPMoviePlayerController is active. Meanwhile, a movie started to play. In the target of the project, I have checked Portrait, Landscape Left and Landscape Right. Also, in the AppDelegate file, I have implemented supportedInterfaceOrientationsForWindow method and I tried to check presentedViewController is a MPMoviePlayerController. However, I could not implement it correctly. How can I solve my problem with the correct way ? What is the best solution changing supported interface orientation when MPMoviePlayerController is active ?

Thank you for your answers

Solution

  • you need UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAll only for MPMoviePlayerController so, while creating the controller use a BOOL variable to identify interface needed or not .

    MPMoviePlayerViewController *playerController = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:moviePath]];

    Override the initWithContentURL method and set AppDelegate BOOL variable to YESand at viewWillDisappear set the BOOL to NO.

    In Appdelegate.m 

    #pragma mark --- Orientation Changes for Movie

-(NSUInteger)application:(UIApplication *)application supportedInterfaceOrientationsForWindow:(UIWindow *)window{

if (self.OrientationNeeded)
{
    return  UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAll;
}
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait;
}

    The flow will be perfect ,first your init method is called and you have setted BOOL variable and then supportedInterfaceOrientationsForWindow method is called and revert BOOL back when view is out.
