TabBar with center button - objective-c

Hi, I'd like to make a tabBar with center button. As we can see from the image, when I clicked the tabbar, it will show me a view to select buttons. When I clicked the "notes" button, the view will disappear and my app will jump to the correspond viewcontroller and the tabbar.selectIndex = 2. I already made a subclass of UITabBarController, and add a button to the view, the code is like this [self.view addSubview:middleButton]. Now the problem is, when I push viewcontroll, the tabbar disappear while the center button still on the page. And when I go back to the main viewcontroller, the tabbar will overlap the center button. I don't want to make a whole custom UITabBarViewController, please tell me how to hide the center button when push viewcontroll and how to show it on the tapbar when I go back to the main viewcontroller.
Hi, Hament, I have not use method "-(void)tabBar:(UITabBar *)tabBar didSelectItem:(UITabBarItem *)item". My code is as below:

Couldn't change the orientation in SplitViewController

No scrolling or user interaction in new NSWindow with NSScrollView

I am building an application (without interface builder!) which 'lives' in the NSStatusBar; when you click on an icon in the StatusBar a NSWindow with a NSScrollView appears. The window appears but it seems that something is preventing user interaction with the ScrollView
To find out where the problem comes from I also added my view to the main windows contentView in the AppDelegate, strange thing is that the scrollview is interactive in the MainWindow... Anyone knows why it doesn't work in my new Window?
This is the code I use to create the new TTDropDownWindow:
- (void)openWindow {
// Dropdown
if (self.dropDownWindow == nil) {
self.dropDownWindow = [[TTDropDownWindow alloc] init];
self.dropDownWindow.releasedWhenClosed = NO;
self.dropDownWindow.contentView = self.view;
self.dropDownWindow.backgroundColor = [NSColor clearColor];
self.dropDownWindow.delegate = self;
self.dropDownWindow.alphaValue = 1;
self.dropDownWindow.hasShadow = NO;
self.dropDownWindow.opaque = NO;
}
[[NSApplication sharedApplication] activateIgnoringOtherApps:YES];
NSRect statusBarContentRect = self.statusBarItemView.window.frame;
NSPoint statusBarOriginPoint = NSMakePoint(NSMidX(statusBarContentRect), NSMinY(statusBarContentRect));
NSRect screenFrame = self.dropDownWindow.screen.frame;
NSRect dropDownContentRect = NSZeroRect;
dropDownContentRect.size.width = DROP_DOWN_WIDTH;
dropDownContentRect.size.height = DROP_DOWN_HEIGHT;
dropDownContentRect.origin.x = statusBarOriginPoint.x - DROP_DOWN_WIDTH / 2;
dropDownContentRect.origin.y = screenFrame.size.height - DROP_DOWN_HEIGHT - NSStatusBar.systemStatusBar.thickness;
[self.dropDownWindow setFrame:dropDownContentRect display:YES];
[self.dropDownWindow makeKeyAndOrderFront:nil];
}
This is the implementation of TTDropDownWindow:
#import "TTDropDownWindow.h"
#import "WFConstants.h"
#implementation TTDropDownWindow
- (id) init
{
self = [super initWithContentRect:NSMakeRect(0, 0, DROP_DOWN_WIDTH, DROP_DOWN_HEIGHT) styleMask:NSBorderlessWindowMask backing:NSBackingStoreRetained defer:NO];
return self;
}
- (BOOL)canBecomeMainWindow {
return YES;
}
- (BOOL)canBecomeKeyWindow {
return YES;
}
#end
And this is the code that creates the View and the ScrollView
#import "TTStatusBarDropDownView.h"
#import "TTTestView.h"
#implementation TTStatusBarDropDownView
#synthesize dropDownTableViewData = dropDownTableViewData_;
- (id)initWithFrame:(NSRect)frameRect {
self = [super initWithFrame:frameRect];
if (self) {
NSImageView *imageView = [[NSImageView alloc] initWithFrame:frameRect];
imageView.image = [NSImage imageNamed:#"background-dropdown"];
[self addSubview:imageView];
// first create a view to put in a ScrollView
NSView *scrollViewHolder = [[TTTestView alloc] initWithFrame:NSMakeRect(19, 98, 414, 543) andColor:[NSColor yellowColor]];
[self addSubview:scrollViewHolder];
// create the scrollView
NSScrollView *scrollView = [[NSScrollView alloc] initWithFrame:NSMakeRect(0, 0, 414, 543)];
scrollView.hasVerticalRuler = YES;
scrollView.hasVerticalScroller = YES;
[scrollViewHolder addSubview:scrollView];
// TTTestView is just a NSView with a background drawing
TTTestView *theViewThatScrolls = [[TTTestView alloc] initWithFrame:NSMakeRect(0, 0, 200, 10000) andColor:[NSColor blueColor]];
[theViewThatScrolls addSubview:[[TTTestView alloc] initWithFrame:NSMakeRect(10, 10, 100, 8000) andColor:[NSColor grayColor]]];
[scrollView setDocumentView:theViewThatScrolls];
}
return self;
}
#end
You might change NSBackingStoreRetained to NSBackingStoreBuffered as stated over here:

Issues with UISplitViewController and modal UIViewControllers

I have a really strange UI glitch in my iPhone/iPad app. Because I wanted to find the cause of it, I created a new project with as little code as possible. The important code is below.
Basically, I have a UISplitViewController containing two UIViewController subclasses. When a button is tapped, the first one presents modally and as UIModalPresentationFormSheet a UIViewController subclass called Modal. In there, when a button is tapped, another UIViewController subclass called Text is presented, this time as UIModalPresentationFullScreen. In Text, there is a UITextView. When it is tapped, everything is alright, but when the iPad is rotated, I get this:
The white part is the Text view controller, the red part in the background is ViewControllerTwo.
Does anybody have any idea why this happens? And what I can do to fix it?
Here is the Project: MediaFire
Here is the relevant source code:
// AppDelegate.m
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
ViewControllerOne *one = [[ViewControllerOne alloc] init];
ViewControllerTwo *two = [[ViewControllerTwo alloc] init];
UISplitViewController *split = [[UISplitViewController alloc] init];
split.viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:one, two, nil];
self.window.rootViewController = split;
self.window.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
// ViewControllerOne.m
#import "Modal.h"
#implementation ViewControllerOne
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor blueColor];
UIButton *button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
button.frame = CGRectMake(30, 30, 44, 44);
[button addTarget:self action:#selector(buttonTapped) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[self.view addSubview:button];
}
- (void)buttonTapped
{
Modal *modalOne = [[Modal alloc] init];
modalOne.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationFormSheet;
[self presentModalViewController:modalOne animated:YES];
}
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
return YES;
}
// Modal.m
#import "Text.h"
#implementation Modal
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
UIButton *buttonOne = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
buttonOne.frame = CGRectMake(30, 30, 44, 44);
buttonOne.tag = 1;
[buttonOne addTarget:self action:#selector(buttonTapped:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
UIButton *buttonTwo = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
buttonTwo.frame = CGRectMake(30, 100, 44, 44);
buttonTwo.tag = 2;
[buttonTwo addTarget:self action:#selector(buttonTapped:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[self.view addSubview:buttonOne];
[self.view addSubview:buttonTwo];
}
- (void)buttonTapped:(UIButton *)button
{
if (button.tag == 1)
{
Text *text = [[Text alloc] init];
text.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationFullScreen;
[self presentModalViewController:text animated:YES];
}
else
{
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
}
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
return YES;
}
// Text.m
#implementation Text
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor greenColor];
UITextView *textView = [[UITextView alloc] initWithFrame:self.view.bounds];
textView.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight;
[self.view addSubview:textView];
}
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
return YES;
}
You may need to present the modal views from the UISplitViewController instead of it's subviews...
UISplitViewController *splitViewController = [(AppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate] splitViewController];
[splitViewController presentModalViewController:modal animated:YES];

Bottom half of UITabbar is not responding to clicks

I have created a UITabbar with 3 items and placed it on a UIScrollView
When I click the buttons of the tabbar they do not respond in the bottom half.
The upper area is working fine.
When clicking in the area just above the tabbar the tabs are also switched.
What can be wrong?
How can i correct this misalignment of the clickable button area?
In viewDidLoad:
[super viewDidLoad];
scroll.frame = CGRectMake(0, 20, 320, 460);
scroll.pagingEnabled = YES;
scroll.contentSize = CGSizeMake(320 * 2, 460);
scroll.showsHorizontalScrollIndicator = NO;
scroll.showsVerticalScrollIndicator = NO;
scroll.scrollsToTop = NO;
scroll.delegate = self;
scroll.pagingEnabled = YES;
viewNavController1 = [[viewNavController1 alloc] init];
ctrl = [[UITabBarController alloc] init];
ViewController1 *viewC1= [[ViewController1 alloc] initWithNibName:#"ViewController1" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *control = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:viewC1];
viewC1.title = #"Title1";
[viewC1 release];
ViewController2 *viewC2 = [[ViewController2 alloc] initWithNibName:#"ViewController2" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *control2 = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:viewC2];
viewC2.title = #"Title2";
[viewC2 release];
UINavigationController *control3 = [[UINavigationController alloc] init];
ViewController3 *viewC3 = [[ViewController3 alloc] initWithNibName:#"ViewController3" bundle:nil];
[control3 pushViewController:viewC3 animated:NO];
viewC3.title = #"Title3";
[viewC3 release];
[ctrl setViewControllers:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:control,control2,control3,nil]];
CGRect frame = scroll.frame;
frame.origin.x = frame.size.width * 0;
frame.origin.y = 0;
viewNavController1.view.frame = frame;
viewC4 = [[ViewController4 alloc] initWithNibName:#"ViewController4" bundle:nil];
[viewNavController1 pushViewController:viewC4 animated:NO];
[scroll addSubview:viewNavController1.view];
frame = scroll.frame;
frame.origin.x = frame.size.width * 1;
frame.origin.y = 0;
ctrl.view.frame = frame;
[scroll addSubview:ctrl.view];
[scroll scrollRectToVisible:CGRectMake(320, 0, 320, 460) animated:NO];
UITabBarItem *itm = [ctrl.tabBar.items objectAtIndex:0];
itm.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"img1.png"];
itm = [ctrl.tabBar.items objectAtIndex:1];
itm.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"img2.png"];
itm = [ctrl.tabBar.items objectAtIndex:2];
itm.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"img3.png"];
[control release];
[control2 release];
[control3 release];
The problem was that the UITabbarController did not have its view added as the root view of the windows. Which it apparently assumes.
so I had to trick it using:
[vc setWantsFullScreenLayout:YES];
vc is the main ViewController holding the scrollview containing the UITabbarController.
See Offset on UIWindow addSubview for more explanations.

Cocoa Touch: Creating and Adding Custom View

I create a custom view in cocoa touch that is superclassed by UIView and in my main controller I initialize it and then add it as a subview to the main view, but when I add it to the main view it calls my initializer method again and causes an infinite loop. Am I going about creating my custom view wrong?
Here is the mainView
- (void)loadView {
UIImage* tempImage = [UIImage imageNamed: #"image1.jpg"];
CustomImageContainer *testImage = [[CustomImageContainer alloc] initWithImage: tempImage andLabel: #"test image" onTop: true atX: 10 atY: 10];
[self.view addSubview: testImage];
}
and the CustomImageContainer
-(CustomImageContainer *) initWithImage: (UIImage *)imageToAdd andLabel: (NSString *)text onTop: (BOOL) top atX: (int) x_cord atY: (int) y_cord{
UIImageView *imageview_to_add = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage: imageToAdd];
imageview_to_add.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, imageToAdd.size.width, imageToAdd.size.height);
UILabel *label_to_add = [[UILabel alloc] init];
label_to_add.text = text;
label_to_add.alpha = 50;
label_to_add.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
label_to_add.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
[self addSubview: imageview_to_add];
self.frame = CGRectMake(x_cord, y_cord, imageToAdd.size.width, imageToAdd.size.height);
if (top) {
label_to_add.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, imageview_to_add.frame.size.width, imageview_to_add.frame.size.height);
//[self addSubview: label_to_add];
}
else {
label_to_add.frame = CGRectMake(0,.2 * imageview_to_add.frame.size.height, imageview_to_add.frame.size.width, imageview_to_add.frame.size.height);
}
[self addSubview: label_to_add];
[super init];
return self;
}
Why did you put the [super init] statement at the end of the initializer ? When subclassing, you usually put this statement at the start of method.
For UIView subclasses, the designated initializer when creating views in code is initWithFrame:, so you should call it before adding the label and the image. You can use the image to compute the frame needed by the custom view.
-(CustomImageContainer *) initWithImage: (UIImage *)imageToAdd andLabel: (NSString *)text onTop: (BOOL) top atX: (int) x_cord atY: (int) y_cord{
// The view will gets its frame to the size of the image
UIImageView *imageview_to_add = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage: imageToAdd];
// Call the designated initializer
CGRect frame = CGRectMake(x_cord, y_cord, imageToAdd.size.width, imageToAdd.size.height);
self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
[self addSubview: imageview_to_add];
UILabel *label_to_add = [[UILabel alloc] init];
label_to_add.text = text;
label_to_add.alpha = 50;
label_to_add.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
label_to_add.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
if (top) {
label_to_add.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, imageview_to_add.frame.size.width, imageview_to_add.frame.size.height);
}
else {
label_to_add.frame = CGRectMake(0,.2 * imageview_to_add.frame.size.height, imageview_to_add.frame.size.width, imageview_to_add.frame.size.height);
}
[self addSubview: label_to_add];
return self;
}
If you still have an infinite loop, pause the debugger and search for the recurrent method pattern in the stack trace. This pattern will gives you where the code enters the infinite loop.
