| // There are 4 possibilities here: | |
| // 1- They could be a non-nav controller, with a visible tab (ie not under the 'more' tab) | |
| // Simple: self.selectedViewController | |
| // 2- They could be a nav controller, with a visible tab (ie not under the 'more' tab) | |

| // Simple: self.selectedViewController | |
| // 4- They could be a nav controller, under the 'more' tab | |
| // This is where it gets tricky (or buggy, really? You decide.) | |

Yup, that's exactly what I did, and it works! Meanwhile, I'm running into trouble with the code in this gist (I know, finally back on topic - ha!), but only when it comes to the More controller. Here's what I'm using now in order to avoid running into UIMoreListController and UISnapshotModalViewController:
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
// For non-nav controllers
UIViewController *vc = self.selectedViewController;
// For nav controllers
if ([vc isKindOfClass:[UINavigationController class]]) {
UINavigationController *navController = (UINavigationController *) vc;
vc = navController.topViewController;
}
// Exception for nav controllers under the more tab
// NOTE: With the More tab, I have yet to see vc be nil here. Hmm.
if (!vc) {
vc = self.moreNavigationController.topViewController;
}
// OPTIONAL: If this is the More navigation controller or the first view
// on its stack (UIMoreListController), keep it at portrait.
if (vc == self.moreNavigationController ||
[vc isKindOfClass:NSClassFromString(@"UIMoreListController")]) {
return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait);
}
return [vc shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:interfaceOrientation];
}
Its funny you should mention it, somewhere on my blog i wrote a post on how to find the active VC when the 'more' tab is selected. Its there...somewhere...
Anyway sounds like you've licked all your problems. Congrats.
Thanks! I really appreciate your patience and willingness to indulge me here in the comments.
As for that blog post, yep, that's how I arrived here. It's this one, right?
The thing that's got me confused now is that visibleController shouldn't work (at least certainly not on iOS 5, with those two private VCs that Apple exposes in there), but that's what you use in your code ... unless Apple changed something subtle as of iOS 5.
Thanks, and you're 100% correct - I want to lose that More tab so badly, you have no idea.
Maybe put my code into a separate helper class, and disable ARC on just that file (-fno-objc-arc), that'd be a simple approach.
