NavigationBar alpha value changed automatically after dismissing view controller - objective-c

Weird thing
navigationbar'alpha value changes after dismissing view controller
Step
Click button that presents a new viewcontroller
Set navigation bar alpha to 0.0 when the button is clicked
Dismiss viewcontroller which I presented right before.
Result [NG]
navigationbar'alpha value is set to 1.0
Expected result
navigationbar's alpha should be 0.0 as expected
Below sample is pretty much easy
ViewController class
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {
NSLog(#"%s : %f", __func__, self.navigationController.navigationBar.alpha);
}
- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated {
NSLog(#"%s : %f", __func__, self.navigationController.navigationBar.alpha);
}
- (void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated {
NSLog(#"%s : %f", __func__, self.navigationController.navigationBar.alpha);
}
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
self.navigationController.navigationBar.backgroundColor = [UIColor orangeColor];
self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
UIButton *clickMe = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(100, 100, 100, 30)];
[clickMe setTitle:#"clickme" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[clickMe setTitleColor:[UIColor blackColor] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[clickMe addTarget:self action:#selector(btnClicked) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[self.view addSubview:clickMe];
}
- (void)btnClicked {
self.navigationController.navigationBar.alpha = 0.0f;
second *sec = [[second alloc] init];
[self presentViewController:sec animated:YES completion:nil];
}
second class
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
self.navigationController.navigationBar.backgroundColor = [UIColor orangeColor];
self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor yellowColor];
UIButton *getBack = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(100, 100, 100, 40)];
[getBack setTitle:#"getBack" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[getBack setTitleColor:[UIColor blackColor] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[getBack addTarget:self action:#selector(btnClicked) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[self.view addSubview:getBack];
}
- (void)btnClicked {
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}
I really would like to know what happened in this..
If someone knows this, let me know.. Thank you in advance.

Constraints programmatically and with Storyboards

It is possible to set constraints programmatically and while using Storyboards? I am using this https://github.com/raphaelschaad/RSPlayPauseButton as well as this for constraints https://github.com/SnapKit/Masonry. However I they are not being displayed correctly:
The image on the left is not being displayed correctly, and it not clickable (it is a button).
Relevant code:
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
_playPauseButton = [[RSPlayPauseButton alloc] init];
_playPauseButton.tintColor = [UIColor blackColor];
[_playPauseButton addTarget:self action:#selector(playPauseButtonDidPress:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[self.view addSubview:_playPauseButton];
}
- (void)viewDidLayoutSubviews
{
[self.playPauseButton mas_makeConstraints:^(MASConstraintMaker *make) {
make.center.equalTo(self.view).with.offset(10);
}];
}
You need to adding width/height constraints for the playPauseButton, try this:
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
_playPauseButton = [[RSPlayPauseButton alloc] init];
_playPauseButton.tintColor = [UIColor blackColor];
[_playPauseButton addTarget:self action:#selector(playPauseButtonDidPress:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[self.view addSubview:_playPauseButton];
[playPauseButton mas_makeConstraints:^(MASConstraintMaker *make) {
make.center.equalTo(self.view).with.offset(10);
make.width.equalTo(#(50));
make.height.equalTo(#(50));
}];
}

UIButton added in code not responding to touch

I'm just adding a quick intro screen with a button, which compiles and displays properly, but my button doesn't respond.
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
NSLog(#"viewDidLoad!");
[self showIntro];
}
// make a quick Intro screen
- (void) showIntro {
UIImageView *myBackImage = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 460)];
[myBackImage setImage:(UIImage *) [UIImage imageNamed:#"myBkgnd.png"]];
UIButton *clickBtn = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom ];
[clickBtn addTarget:self action:#selector(myButton_pressed:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[clickBtn setImage:(UIImage *) [UIImage imageNamed:#"btnImage.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
clickBtn.frame = CGRectMake(111, 200, 75, 60);
[myBackImage addSubview:clickBtn];
[self.view addSubview:myBackImage];
}
- (void)myButton_pressed:(UIButton*)button {
NSLog(#"Button Pressed!");
}
What am I overlooking?
Thanks!
As you have added UIButton in UIImageView but didn't you forgot imageView's userInteraction by default NO. So :
myBackImage.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
EDIT : Just formatted

How do I add resizing without IB

Since starting with iPhone app development (last 9 months) I have only used IB. I have a project to work on already built by another developer that I need to optimise for iPhone screen. No problem in IB, I know how to do that, in this project however the Nav bar is added using code only and is an image view. Could someone advise me how I go about resizing/positioning the nav bar when IB isnt used? Im trying to enhance this app for the iphone 5 screen.
#define BAR_FRAME CGRectMake(0,0,320.0f,43.0f)
#implementation ICNavbarView
#synthesize homeButton=__homeButton;
#synthesize prevButton=__prevButton;
#synthesize nextButton=__nextButton;
#synthesize delegate=__delegate;
- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame
{
LogCmd();
self = [super initWithFrame:BAR_FRAME];
if (self) {
self.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
self.alpha = 0.9f;
// Add Navigation bar background // <<<<<< navigation bar from ui image
UIImageView *bgView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"BgNavBarNew"]];
[self addSubview:bgView];
// Add back button
__prevButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
__prevButton.frame = CGRectMake(30.0f, 6.0f, 29.0f, 31.0f);
UIImage *prevButtonPressed = [UIImage imageNamed:#"BtnPrevPressed"];
[__prevButton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"BtnPrev"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[__prevButton setImage:prevButtonPressed forState:UIControlStateSelected];
[__prevButton setImage:prevButtonPressed forState:UIControlStateHighlighted];
[__prevButton addTarget:self action:#selector(buttonPressed:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[self addSubview:__prevButton];
// Add next button
__nextButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
__nextButton.frame = CGRectMake(262.0f, 6.0f, 29.0f, 31.0f);
UIImage *nextButtonPressed = [UIImage imageNamed:#"BtnNextPressed"];
[__nextButton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"BtnNext"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[__nextButton setImage:nextButtonPressed forState:UIControlStateSelected];
[__nextButton setImage:nextButtonPressed forState:UIControlStateHighlighted];
[__nextButton addTarget:self action:#selector(buttonPressed:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[self addSubview:__nextButton];
// Add home button
__homeButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
__homeButton.frame = CGRectMake(145.0f, 6.0f, 31.0f, 30.0f);
UIImage *homeButtonPressed = [UIImage imageNamed:#"BtnHomePressed"];
[__homeButton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"BtnHome"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[__homeButton setImage:homeButtonPressed forState:UIControlStateSelected];
[__homeButton setImage:homeButtonPressed forState:UIControlStateHighlighted];
[__homeButton addTarget:self action:#selector(buttonPressed:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[self addSubview:__homeButton];
}
return self;
}
- (id)init
{
return [self initWithFrame:CGRectZero];
}
#pragma mark - Button handlers
- (void)buttonPressed:(id)sender
{
if (sender == __prevButton) {
[self.delegate performSelector:#selector(navBarPrevButtonPressed)];
} else if (sender == __homeButton) {
[self.delegate performSelector:#selector(navBarHomeButtonPressed)];
} else {
[self.delegate performSelector:#selector(navBarNextButtonPressed)];
}
}
#end
So far I tried UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight; like this
// Add Navigation bar background
UIImageView *bgView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"BgNavBarNew"]];
[self addSubview:bgView];
//resize
bgView.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth;
This seems to make no difference and the nav bar hasn't moved
I've used this before, but I used the setter function instead of using the property. I don't know if that would change anything or not, but try it this way:
[bgView setAutoresizingMask:(UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth)];
The parens are important, if you have multiple re-sizing options.

How does autoresizing mask work?

I've found a lot of information on autoresizing but none has been able to solve my problem. I have a ViewController (RAViewController) who calls a view in its loadView method like so:
- (void)loadView
{
// Set Navigation Bar Title
self.navigationItem.title = #"RA";
// Add Background view
self.view = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
// Add RAView
RAView *rAView = [[RAView alloc] initWithFrame:self.view.frame Controller:self];
[self.view rAView];
}
The view it calls (RAView) looks like this:
- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame Controller:(RAViewController *)Controller
{
self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
if (self) {
// Initialization code
self.autoresizesSubviews = YES;
self.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight;
self.backgroundColor = [[UIColor alloc] initWithRed:1.0 green:1.0 blue:1.0 alpha:1.0];
controller = Controller;
// Draw Architecture View
[self drawArchitectureView];
}
return self;
}
-(void)drawArchitectureView {
UIButton *button = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 10, self.frame.size.width - 20, 50);
[button setBackgroundColor:[UIColor grayColor]];
[button setTitle:#"Overview" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[self addSubview:button];
}
For some reason I can't get autoresizing mask to resize the button width when the device is landscape. Any help is greatly appreciated.
If you want it to keep the same height, but just stay fully centered, 10.0 from the left and right, try:
-(void)drawArchitectureView {
UIButton *button = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 10, self.frame.size.width - 20, 50);
button.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleRightMargin;
[button setBackgroundColor:[UIColor grayColor]];
[button setTitle:#"Overview" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[self addSubview:button];
}

UIbutton with longpress and Touchup inside

How to create a UIButton With two actions.
I know by using UILongPressGestureRecognizer we can perform Longpress.
But my requirement is,When I Long Press UIButton,it has to perform one action and when touch
up inside it, it has to perform another action.
Thanks.
Below is my code.
UIImage *redImage = [UIImage imageNamed:#"TabFav2.png"];
tabRedbutton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[tabRedbutton setImage:redImage forState:UIControlStateNormal];
tabRedbutton.frame = CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, 50,35);
redTAb = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:tabRedbutton];
[tabRedbutton addTarget:self action:#selector(redbottonmethod) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
longpressGesture1 = [[UILongPressGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:#selector(longPressHandler:)];
longpressGesture1.minimumPressDuration =0.1;
[longpressGesture1 setDelegate:self];
longpressGesture1.cancelsTouchesInView = NO;
[tabRedbutton addGestureRecognizer:longpressGesture1];
[longpressGesture1 release];
- (void)longPressHandler:(UILongPressGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer {
if (longpressGesture.state == UIGestureRecognizerStateBegan)
{
NSlog(#"Long press");
}
}
-(void)redbottonmethod
{
NSlog(#"single tapped");
}
For the tap you can use UIButton's "addTarget:..." method and for the longpress you can add a gesture recognizer:
UIButton *btn = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
btn.frame = CGRectMake(100.0, 100.0, 100.0, 20.0);
[btn setTitle:#"Test" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[btn addTarget:self action:#selector(userTapped:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
UILongPressGestureRecognizer *gr = [[UILongPressGestureRecognizer alloc] init];
[gr addTarget:self action:#selector(userLongPressed:)];
[btn addGestureRecognizer:gr];
[gr release];
[self.view addSubview:btn];
Of course you need to implement the 2 methods that will be called:
- (void)userTapped:(id)sender {
NSLog(#"user tapped");
}
- (void)userLongPressed:(id)sender {
NSLog(#"user long pressed");
}
Hope that helps.
=========
EDIT: It seems that you are using your button as a BarButtonItem inside a UIToolbar. So I changed my code to do the same:
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
// set up the button
UIImage *redImage = [UIImage imageNamed:#"TabFav2.png"];
UIButton *tabRedbutton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
tabRedbutton.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
[tabRedbutton setImage:redImage forState:UIControlStateNormal];
tabRedbutton.frame = CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, 50,35);
// set up a bar button item with the button as its view
UIBarButtonItem *redTab = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:tabRedbutton];
// set up toolbar and add the button as a bar button item
UIToolbar *toolbar = [[UIToolbar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0, 100.0, 768.0, 40.0)];
toolbar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlack;
NSArray *items = [NSArray arrayWithObject:redTab];
[toolbar setItems:items];
[self.view addSubview:toolbar];
[toolbar release];
// add tap handler to button for tap
[tabRedbutton addTarget:self action:#selector(redbottonmethod) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
// add gesture recognizer to button for longpress
UILongPressGestureRecognizer *longpressGesture1 = [[UILongPressGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:#selector(longPressHandler:)];
longpressGesture1.minimumPressDuration =0.1;
[tabRedbutton addGestureRecognizer:longpressGesture1];
[longpressGesture1 release];
}
And the two methods that get called:
- (void)longPressHandler:(UILongPressGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer {
NSLog(#"Long press");
}
-(void)redbottonmethod {
NSLog(#"single tapped");
}
This code definitely works.
By the way: I noticed that in your code in the 2 methods that get called you have typo: You must use NSLog() and not NSlog(). Could that be the problem?
