Forcing UIAlertView into landscape mode

Question

I need to display a UIAlertView in landscape mode. I tried the obvious, setting the transform in the willPresentAlertView: delegate method to no avail:

-(void) willPresentAlertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView {

    alertView.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(M_PI_2);
}

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Answer 1

Have you tried in the didPresentAlertView?

- (void)didPresentAlertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView
{
    // UIAlertView in landscape mode
    [UIView beginAnimations:@"" context:nil];
    [UIView setAnimationDuration:0.1];
    alertView.transform = CGAffineTransformRotate(alertView.transform, 3.14159/2);
    [UIView commitAnimations];
}
