I have a viewController which contains data which will remain static on the top half of the viewController. The bottom half contains 4 buttons and 4 UIViewControllers linked to the 4 buttons which are loaded earlier. And on respective button click the respective UIViewController will be show and rest of them will be hidden. I am just making viewController visible and invisible on the button click.
I want to make them change on swipe. so the UIViewController will change with the swipe and the button state for the respective UIViewController will also change with swipe.
I am not using storyboard and using xcode5.
One simple way - you can use UITabBarController to handle all this array of view controllers:https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/uikit/reference/UITabBarController_Class/Reference/Reference.html
And to change them with swipe - just add a UISwipeGestureRecognizer: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/uikit/reference/UISwipeGestureRecognizer_Class/Reference/Reference.html like this:
UISwipeGestureRecognizer *swipeRecognizer = [[UISwipeGestureRecognizer alloc]initWithTarget:self action:#selector(changeTabs:)];
[self.view addGestureRecognizer:swipeRecognizer];
[swipeRecognizer release];
And in changeTabs: do this
[self.tabBarController setSelectedViewController:nextViewController];
Another more solid way is to use UIPageViewController : https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/uikit/reference/UIPageViewControllerClassReferenceClassRef/UIPageViewControllerClassReference.html
You wrote: "so the uiviewcontroller will change with the swipe and the button state for the respective uiviewcontroller will also change with swipe." - this is silly. Just use either tabs as I suggested and remove those buttons or use UIPageViewController which already has page indicators and will handle their logic itself

I have a UITableViewController was added to a UIPageViewController as the pages, the program push PageViewController and show UINavigationBar on the top of the PageViewController, I want to add UIBarButton to UINavigationBar to control UITableViewCells, but can only do it on the screen of PageViewController, that means, all events related to this button must be handle in PageViewController, because all these events are related to TableView cell controls, I want them are handled in UITableViewController.
I tried many ways, like define a IBOutlet in UITableViewController, and when viewDidLoad, set self.NavigationItem rightitem to this IBOutlet item, all did not work.
I don't know how you're creating the UINavigationController but I assume you're doing it from PageViewController. If that's the case, then make sure that the PageViewController pushes onto the UINavigationController the UITableViewController. You cannot add the UITableViewController to the PageViewController.
In other words, the PageViewController creates a page with a UINavigationController. Then you push onto UINavigationController the UITableViewController.
At that point when inside your subclassed UITableViewController, you should have access to self.navigationItem, etc...
On my firstViewController I have a tabbar that contains my firstViewController and a helpViewController.
When I click on a button from the FirstViewController, I push a NewViewController. But, when this view is pushed, I want to change the content from the TabBarController to display other ViewControllers, like infoViewController, optionViewController and NewViewController. Is that possible?
The First Image represents my application. The FirstViewController has a button that will push the NewViewController. When the user clicks this button, I want that my app shows what is in the second image. Is possible?
Yes, this is possible (I just did a proof of concept in Xcode). Assuming that you are using storyboarding, you need to make your initial view controller a UINavigationController otherwise you won't be able to use the push segues. Then, make the first UITabBarViewController the root view controller of the navigation controller. Put an entirely new UITabBarController into the storyboard, and then put a UIButton into the firstViewController and link it via a push segue to the new (second) UITabBarController.
When you tap the button the old tab bar will slide off, and the new one will slide on.
Here's an example of how it all looks:
!!This app uses navigationController and TabBarController!!
Using the storyboard I saw each piece of the app, then I had the Idea: Insted of pushing the NewViewController, how about push a tabBarController? When the user clicks the button, the app will push the tabBarController with 2 TabController`s.
Just add New File to your project, sub classed UITabBarController. Then add this code to the init method of your tabBarController: self.hidesBottonBarWhenPushed = YES;
On ViewDidLoad just alloc and init what views you want to display on the tabBar and
self setViewControllers:[NSArray arrayWithObjects: vc1, vc2, vc3, nil]];
Working fine here :D
You can nest TabBarControllers. But that would look strange. And the first TabBar wouldn't be changed. Pushing a TabBarController into a TabBarController is not possible because TabBarController does not support pushViewController. Thats only possible with a NavigationController.
Anyhow you can change the content of the TabBar completely programatically.
In my app, I have my main view and when i click a button, a UIPopoverController is shown over my main view (not fullscreen so i still see the view behind) containing a UITableView. When I click one of the tableview cells, I want to show a custom view centered on screen (simple view informing the user that the app is processing) that will fade in and fade out during a specific amount of time.
The problem is that my custom view always appears UNDER the UIPopover...I tried all I can think of, bringSubviewToFront etc...Nothing works... I also tried to wrap my custom view in a UIViewController and use [mainView presentViewController:myCustomView ...] but when I do that the main view disappear
Someone can help?
Thx
Thx Ole Begemann, this question was indeed a duplicate.
Although, the solution to my problem is not to subclass UIWindow but to add my UIView to the key UIWindow :
NSArray * windows = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] windows];
UIWindow* win0 = [windows objectAtIndex:0];
[win0 addSubview:loadingView];
[win0 bringSubviewToFront:loadingWindow];
I'm working in an iPad app that has a split view with a navigation controller in the detail view. The deepest view that can be in the navigation stack is an edit view where the user can edit data. I put an edit button as the rightBarButtonItem and when editing starts, change it to a done button.
When editing commences and the user touches on a particular field, I present a popoverview with a list of possible choices filtered by what they are typing - a form of autofill based on all the values of that field in all other objects.
This works fine, except if you try touching on the done button. The popover eats this touch and dismisses itself. So the user has to touch done again.
I tried using the uipopovercontroller's passthroughViews property, but UIBarButtonItem is not a view and there is no documented way to get the view for the done button or even the navigation bar. I can access the variable in gdb, but it isn't accessible via KVC.
Any ideas on how I can prevent the need to tap done twice?
I've thought about a gesture recognizer on the window, but that seems messy and I'd have to handle rotation.
In case anyone gets here from google, copypaste from other question:
The only solution I found for now is to create UIBarButtonItem with custom UIButton using
UIButton *button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
//code for styling button
UIBarButtonItem *b = [[[UIBarButtonItem alloc]
initWithCustomView:button]
autorelease]
and then
popoverController.passthroughViews = [NSArray arrayWithObject:b.customView];
But be prepared - you cannot create UIButton that looks like UIBarButtoItem. I ended up with creating image that reassembled UIBarButtonItem.
I have presented a navigation controller (Nav1) as modal view controller from rootViewController
Then from Nav1 i created another navigation controller (Nav2) and presented it as modal view controller.
In nav2 when i click a table cell it pushes a view controller containing UITextField
Now the problem is when I click on UITextField it does not show iphone keyboard
Actually I am trying to make something like alarm label as in iphone clock app.
Just be sure for you have set the delegate the textfield...
[textField setDelegate:self];
why did you choose two nav controllers?
you can use tabbarcontroller by the way there is much more simpler way to achieve this.Search on google
check if
"reloadData"
is not executing before the UITextField becomes active
