SASlideMenu force orientation of child view controller

[gallagth]

I have a ViewController on which I want to force orientation so I tried:

-(NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations{
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscape;
}

-(BOOL) shouldAutorotate {
return NO; //also tried YES
}

• (UIInterfaceOrientation)preferredInterfaceOrientationForPresentation {
  return UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft;
  }

This basically does nothing. All the orientations are still supported and the thing rotates. I think it's because my ViewController is embedded in several other controllers with SASlideMenu

SlideMenuRootViewController --> SASlideMenuViewController --> UINavigationController (fixed to landscape in storyboard) --> MyViewController

I don't know if this is an issue per se, I've checked SlideMenuRootViewController and SASlideMenuViewController but there's not much regarding orientation there.

a workaround which couples components unluckily can be:

Paste this in your AppDelegate.m

• (NSUInteger)application:(UIApplication *)application supportedInterfaceOrientationsForWindow:(UIWindow *)window{
  NSUInteger orientations = UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait;
  SASlideMenuRootViewController *rootController = (SASlideMenuRootViewController *)self.window.rootViewController;
  if(rootController){
  SASlideMenuViewController *leftMenu = (SASlideMenuViewController *)rootController.leftMenu;
  orientations = [leftMenu supportedInterfaceOrientations];
  }
  return orientations;

}

This means that you ask the leftMenu (the part that you implement yourself) to tell you the supportedInterfaceOrientation. However, the SASlideMenuViewController does not inherit it, so you need to craft it yourself. In my case, I remember the current UINavigationController in the leftMenu and delegate the method call there. The NavigationController delegates the call to the ViewController in charge, which answers finally. It works for me.
