Fix keyboard orientation in landscape iPad app (upside down keyboard)
- by hjd
I'm converting a landscape (UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight) iPhone app to be a universal app. So far I've got the orientation working properly: the iPad version will launch with the right splash graphic and start in the right orientation (LandscapeLeft or LandscapeRight) depending on how the user is holding it.
But: when I trigger the keyboard while the iPad is in LandscapeLeft, the keyboard appears upside down:
I can't post images yet so you can see the error here:

That's a UIAlertView with a UITextField added to it. I guess the keyboard at this point is in the LandscapeRight orientation.
If I rotate the device to LandscapeRight, the game view rotates to match the keyboard, then if I rotate the device back to LandscapeLeft the entire interface - game AND keyboard rotate together to appear correctly.
So: how do I ensure it appears in the correct orientation?
