I want to have a UIView take over the whole screen to display an image from time to time, but most of the time I'm using a UISplitViewController for the main app functionality. Is there a recommended/best practice way to do this? Right now, I have a pointer to the main window and am just adding the UIView as a sub view and bringing it to front, but it won't display in the proper orientation. I was just wondering if there is a better way/something simple I'm missing.
Thanks.
I ended up using a modal view controller which I present from the split view controller. I then specify the allowed orientations in -shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation. I also hide the status bar. This works for my needs.
