There are a number of ways you could implement a workaround for this; here's
one. Modify the QIOSScreen::updateProperties() function as follows. Basically,
landscape/portrait detection seems to work fine, but the UIScreen bounds
width/height get flipped between iOS7 and iOS8. This just checks if the
orientation is landscape or portrait and sets the geometry appropriately based
on which is larger, height or width.
void QIOSScreen::updateProperties()
{
bool inPortrait =
UIInterfaceOrientationIsPortrait(m_uiWindow.rootViewController.interfaceOrientation);
qreal width = inPortrait
? qMin(m_uiScreen.bounds.size.height, m_uiScreen.bounds.size.width)
: qMax(m_uiScreen.bounds.size.height, m_uiScreen.bounds.size.width);
qreal height = inPortrait
? qMax(m_uiScreen.bounds.size.height, m_uiScreen.bounds.size.width)
: qMin(m_uiScreen.bounds.size.height, m_uiScreen.bounds.size.width);
QRect geometry = inPortrait
? fromCGRect(m_uiScreen.bounds).toRect()
: QRect(m_uiScreen.bounds.origin.x, m_uiScreen.bounds.origin.y,
width, height);
if (geometry != m_geometry) {
m_geometry = geometry;
const qreal millimetersPerInch = 25.4;
m_physicalSize = QSizeF(m_geometry.size()) / m_unscaledDpi *
millimetersPerInch;
QWindowSystemInterface::handleScreenGeometryChange(screen(),
m_geometry);
}
QRect availableGeometry = geometry;
CGSize applicationFrameSize = m_uiScreen.applicationFrame.size;
int statusBarHeight = geometry.height() - (inPortrait ?
applicationFrameSize.height : applicationFrameSize.width);
//TODO: Need to handle whether or not statusbar is hidden/overlapped on iOS
7+
availableGeometry.adjust(0, statusBarHeight, 0, 0);
if (availableGeometry != m_availableGeometry) {
m_availableGeometry = availableGeometry;
QWindowSystemInterface::handleScreenAvailableGeometryChange(screen(),
m_availableGeometry);
}
if (screen())
layoutWindows();
}
If you don't want to do the runtime checks, you can probably just add an ifdef
block to check the iOS version and use the width/height appropriately.
If you don't want to/can't modify the Qt source, I'm pretty sure you could
achieve the effect by simply registering for the proper orientation updates in
your application (using orientationUpdateMask) then setting the width/height of
your root window in a similar way from within your handler slot.
If anyone knows of a better way to do this, I'm all ears :)
