Orientation Portrait And Portraitupsidedown Only For One Window

I have 10 windows. The initial window is loginWindow i want to set orientation for Portrait and PortraitUpSideDown. For remaining windows will have landscape and portrait orientati

Solution 1:

You need to use different windows and define for each window which orientation you want to allow.

I mean, you have to create loginWindow like this:

varloginWindow=Ti.UI.createWindow({orientationModes : [Ti.UI.PORTRAIT, Ti.UI.UPSIDE_PORTRAIT],fullscreen :false,navBarHidden :true});winPortrait.orientationModes= [Ti.UI.PORTRAIT, Ti.UI.UPSIDE_PORTRAIT];

Windows where you want to allow all orientations, have to been created like this:

varappWindow=Titanium.UI.createWindow({width :Ti.UI.FILL,height :Ti.UI.FILL,fullscreen :false,navBarHidden :true,orientationModes : [Ti.UI.PORTRAIT, Ti.UI.UPSIDE_PORTRAIT, Ti.UI.LANDSCAPE_LEFT, Ti.UI.LANDSCAPE_RIGHT]
});appWindow.orientationModes= [Ti.UI.PORTRAIT, Ti.UI.UPSIDE_PORTRAIT, Ti.UI.LANDSCAPE_LEFT, Ti.UI.LANDSCAPE_RIGHT];

Hope it helps

Solution 2:

Present your loginWindow as a modal view and after that set this methods for desired orientations.

- (BOOL) shouldAutorotate
{            
    returnNO;
}

 - (NSUInteger) supportedInterfaceOrientations
{
    returnUIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait;
}

Using different orientation modes for a single app in iOS is not recommended. Please read Orientation design principles

Apple's Developer documentation says: "People expect to use your app in different orientations, and it’s best when you can fulfill that expectation." In other words, don't look at handling orientation as a bother but an opportunity.

Apple further recommends that when choosing to lock or support orientation, you should consider following these principles:

On iPhone/iPod Touch – Don't mix orientation of windows within a single app; so, either lock orientation for the whole app, or react to orientation changes.

On iPhone – don't support the portrait-upside-down orientation because that could leave the user with their phone upside-down when receiving a phone call.

However you can achieve orientation for particualr window using the orientationMode property of window
