Landscape support? about amsmoothalert

[mtonio91]

I'm not a big fan of landscape mode on iphone, even more for pop ups/alerviews that's why i haven't implemented it but i could make it compatible.

Thanks! I have an app that presents a lot of stuff in landscape (movies, etc) and it would take your cool api over the top!
Im looking through it now to see where I could add it

If you want to figure it out from yourself, you can have a look to the relative coordinates of the alertview which are based on window frame and not and self.view frame.

And then do a pull request :)

I could use the landscape-support to, specially for iPad-apps...

This worked for me....

in AMSmoothAlertView.m...
add

#define kCircleViewTag 9999

at the top as a const

at the bottom of

• (void) _initViewWithTitle:(NSString )title andText:(NSString *)text andCancelButton:(BOOL)hasCancelButton forAlertType:(AlertType)type andColor:(UIColor) color
  {
  //----snipped for brevity ----//
  [[UIDevice currentDevice] beginGeneratingDeviceOrientationNotifications];
  [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver: self
  selector: @selector(deviceOrientationDidChange:)
  name: UIDeviceOrientationDidChangeNotification
  object: nil];
  }
• (void)deviceOrientationDidChange:(NSNotification *)notification {
  CGRect screenRect = [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds];
  self.frame = screenRect;
  alertView.center = self.center;
  CGRect circleViewFrame = [self viewWithTag:kCircleViewTag].frame;
  circleViewFrame.origin.x =screenRect.size.width/2;
  circleViewFrame.origin.y =((screenRect.size.height/2)-alertView.frame.size.height/2);
  [self viewWithTag:kCircleViewTag].frame = circleViewFrame;
  }
  -(void) dealloc{
  [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver: self];
  [[UIDevice currentDevice] endGeneratingDeviceOrientationNotifications];
  }

the in i add the tag defined at the top to the circle mask view

• (void) circleSetupForAlertType:(AlertType) type andColor:(UIColor*) color
  {

  UIView * circleMask = [[UIView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake([self screenFrame].size.width/2, (([self screenFrame].size.height/2)-alertView.frame.size.height/2) , 60, 60)];
  circleMask.tag = 9999;

//----snipped for brevity ----//

}

P.S. I utterly ditched the background blur view, so this "hack" or "patch" doesnt pay any attention to the blur view/variable.
