UIView final frame after device rotation
Hi,
I have a hard time figuring out how to get the frame (in the window
coordinate system) a view will rotate to, when the rotation has just begun.
I'm observing UIApplicationDidChangeStatusBarFrameNotification on
NSNotification's defaultCenter. When this notification is delivered, the
rotation seems to be in progress. At that point I need to know the final frame
the view is being rotated to.
I've tried everything I could think of including these:
r1 = [[view superview] convertRect:[view frame] toView:nil];
r2 = [[view window] convertRect:[view bounds] fromView:view];
r3 = [view convertRect:[view bounds] toView:nil];
r4 = [[view window] convertRect:[[[view layer] modelLayer] frame] fromView:[view
superview]];
All get me the same results all the time (expected) but depending on the
rotation direction and the previous orientation, I get nonsensical results like
{{52, 0}, {268, 480}}
or
{{-80, 80}, {416, 320}}
for a window-filling view (with a navigation bar visible). This led me to
believe that I'm getting coordinates the view is set up to rotate from when the
orientation changes. I can't for the life of me find a way to get the new frame
that the view will have when the animation is complete.
I feel like I'm missing something obvious, any ideas?
Regards
Markus

What are you trying to do?
Typically you don't need to worry about this. The root view controller's view
will have its frame set properly by UIKit, and then all of your other views
will resize with respect to that view's bounds, and as such you don't need to
know how to get the final frame of that view.

Actually I did experiment with using embedded views instead of an overlay window but it was a lot easier to make it work that way.

I'll see if I can figure out a way to use that. Still, there must be a way to get to the target view's frame before the animation is complete, no? When device rotation is complete, the view frame is correct. It's only ever wrong when the rotation notification is delivered.

No, once the rotation is complete (at least), there'd be no transform any more, and so the frame would then be valid. I looked at what happens when I rotate iBooks from portrait to landscape on an iPad (a +90 degree rotation), and this is what I see: 1. The view changes from portrait layout to landscape layout, but is displayed so the text is still in portrait orientation. In other words, the view behaves *as if* it immediately resizes to its final landscape orientation bounds, and is immediately displayed with a -90 degree rotation relative to landscape orientation, which preserves the original text orientation. 2. The view animates the rotation to landscape. That is, the view appears to animate its rotation smoothly from -90 degrees up to 0 degrees, relative to landscape orientation. (There may also be a scaling involved here, I couldn't quite tell since it all happens so fast. If there is one, it also ends at 100%.) 3. At that time, the transformation is the identity transformation. If the rotation notification is sent after step 1, the view frame is meaningless until step 3. The only time I get a bogus view frame is when the rotation notification is delivered. It would be easy to try examining the bounds and center properties at the time of the notification, and see whether *they* are bogus. If not, you should be able to orient your child view using those two properties, instead of using frame. ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
