CameraRoll browseForImage on iOS 8 shows app as portrait for a second

Hi there,

I've got a landscape app that allows the user to browse for an image using the CameraRoll.

When I run it on iOS 8 with AIR 18 the camera roll now shows portrait (which I think is an intentional change).

However, just before the iOS Photos window appears, I see half the page of my existing app in portrait mode (which obviously looks a bit shabby).

Has anyone come up with a good solution / workaround for this ?

All the best!

You know when you're about to open the camera roll, you could hide your UI, or show a black cover up piece, before opening the camera roll. Do the opposite when you come back.

    Thanks so much for the quick reply Colin. Yes, I was thinking of something along those lines. I'll give it a go.
