Showing Date Selector from iPhone landscape mode - window shaped incorrectly about rmdateselectionviewcontroller HOT 7 CLOSED

Are you using an iPhone 6/6+? This issue may be related to this one: CooperRS/RMPickerViewController#14

from rmdateselectionviewcontroller.

Yes, I am. Odd, that issue isn't showing up in the issues list for me, but the link works just fine.

But thank you, I'm glad to hear this is being fixed! Let me know if I can be of any help.

To be honest, I have no clue how to fix this :/

RMDateSelectionViewController uses an additional UIWindow to show the date selection view above all other views. If I do not use an additional UIWindow and instead add the picker view controller to the current view hierarchy, the swipe gesture of UINavigationControllers to go back, is still enabled and messes up everything. See: #28

So, I'll need an additional UIWindow. Then I want to support rotation. But when a UIWindow auto rotates, it shows a black background hiding everything behind it. That's not what I want, so I have to disable rotation of a UIWindow and handle it myself (done by setting the root view controller of the additional UIWindow which returns NO on shouldAutoRotate).

That's why I'm setting the frame of an UIWindow when showing the date selection view and when rotating. This works on iOS 7 and 8 on all devices. Except for the iPhone 6/6+. On these devices something weird is done when setting UIWindow frames.

Maybe, someone can help me out?

It seems this issue is resolved (at least for me) by including my storyboard file in 'Launch Screen File' under App Icons and Launch Images. You can use a .nib file in it's place if you don't have a storyboard. I got the clue from here

So i guess this comes under the realm of iOS bug?

Really nice control btw, thanks

So i guess this comes under the realm of iOS bug?

Seems to be related to the question whether or not an app is optimized for iPhone 6/6+. My demo project was not optimized. If you add a Launch Screen file it is optimized. The control also works as expected when you add a good old Default.png of the right size. In this case the app is treated as an optimized app, too.

Thanks for your help!

I'm going to be testing this in a project shortly. If it works I'll let you know and mark it as closed! 👍

Just tested this, and you are correct. Everything seems to work! The animation for changing orientations while the date selection controller is open is a tiny bit lag on my iPhone 6 Plus, but I don't think there is much that we can do about that. It's a complex animation.

Great job on this library! 👍
