objective c - Is there a documented way to set the iPhone orientation?

Question

I have an app where I would like to support device rotation in certain views but other don't particularly make sense in Landscape mode, so as I swapping the views out I would like to force the rotation to be set to portrait.

There is an undocumented property setter on UIDevice that does the trick but obviously generates a compiler warning and could disappear with a future revision of the SDK.

[[UIDevice currentDevice] setOrientation:UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait];

Are there any documented ways to force the orientation?

Update: I thought I would provide an example as I am not looking for shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation as I have already implemented that.

I want my app to support landscape and portrait in View 1 but only portrait in View 2. I have already implemented shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation for all views but if the user is in landscape mode in View 1 and then switches to View 2, I want to force the phone to rotate back to Portrait.

Answer 1

This is long after the fact, but just in case anybody comes along who isn't using a navigation controller and/or doesn't wish to use undocumented methods:

UIViewController *c = [[UIViewController alloc]init];
[self presentModalViewController:c animated:NO];
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:NO];
[c release];

It is sufficient to present and dismiss a vanilla view controller.

Obviously you'll still need to confirm or deny the orientation in your override of shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation. But this will cause shouldAutorotate... to be called again by the system.
