Adding a UIButton to a UIScrollView stops it from scrolling - objective-c

I'm very new to programming and objective C so you'll have to go easy on me. I'm sure some of the code in the app is probably unnecessary. I've searched google and StackOverflow for an answer but none of the solutions have worked for me, either because they're not the right solution or I just misunderstand the answers.
The problem is that when I add an image that is very long and I want to scroll ONLY vertically, it initially refuses to scroll until I change a "constraint" called "Vertical Space (-1678) - Scroll View - Image View - Ruler pic.png" to 0 for a reason unknown to me. I don't even understand why it defaults it as -1678.
Anyway, it then works perfectly until I add a UIButton in the storyboard (to which I later want to add a modal "action segue" so that it will go to another view). When I've added UIButton it won't scroll at all in the simulator.
I suppose I must have done something wrong because I've only entered one line of code (declaring it) regarding the button, or maybe I have to put some more code in for it to scroll. I don't know! If you need more information in order to help I'll be happy to provide it. I'm fed up with trying to make it work. Thanks in advance.

I played around a bit and fiddled around with the example in the answer and I got to this code:
scrollView.contentSize = CGSizeMake(320,2246);
which worked! I spent days working on this and it was just one blasted little line of code. I put it into the viewDidLoad and all of a sudden it was scrolling. I also had to turn of "AutoLayout".

You will need to set the ContentSize of the ScrollView, like this:
[scrollView setContentSize:CGSizeMake(320, 500)];

Objective-c floating button, same procedure different behaviour

I have a created a floating button on a UITableViewController. It works like expected.
Now I wanted to use the button as well on a UIViewController where I added a UITableView.
The code for creating the floating button is identically, but the behaviour is different.
At the UITableViewController the button stay where it shall.
At the UIViewController the button moves up (when I scroll down) and down (when I scroll up)
How do I get the button stay where it shall on the UIViewController. Like on the UITableViewController?
TableViewController.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import "AppDelegate.h"
#import "SingletonClass.h"
#interface MagTableViewController : UITableViewController <UIGestureRecognizerDelegate>
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITableView *magTableView;
#property (strong, nonatomic) UIButton *oButton;
#property (nonatomic) float originalOrigin;
#end
TableViewController.m - floating button, works like expected
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
SingletonClass *sharedSingleton = [SingletonClass sharedInstance];
self.originalOrigin = sharedSingleton.photoButtonY; // 430.0
[self addOverlayButton];
}
#pragma mark Camera Button
- (void)addOverlayButton {
self.oButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
self.oButton.frame = CGRectMake(132.0, self.originalOrigin, 56.0, 56.0);
[self.oButton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"CameraButton56x56.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[self.oButton addTarget:self action:#selector(toCameraView:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[self.view insertSubview:self.oButton aboveSubview:self.view];
}
// to make the button float over the tableView including tableHeader
- (void)scrollViewDidScroll:(UIScrollView *)scrollView {
CGRect tableBounds = self.tableView.bounds; // should be _magTableView, but works with _tableView as well. But I do not know where this _tableView comes from...
//CGRect tableBounds = self.magTableView.bounds;
// floating Button;
CGRect floatingButtonFrame = self.oButton.frame;
floatingButtonFrame.origin.y = self.originalOrigin + tableBounds.origin.y;
self.oButton.frame = floatingButtonFrame;
[self.view bringSubviewToFront:self.oButton]; // float over the tableHeader
}
ViewController.h

#import "SingletonClass.h"
#interface DetailViewController : UIViewController <UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate>
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITableView *tableView;
#property (strong, nonatomic) UIButton *oButton;
#property (nonatomic) float originalOrigin;
#end
ViewController.m - Jumping Button, not wanted behaviour (Update: works no, no jumping anymore)
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
self.originalOrigin = [[SingletonClass sharedInstance] photoButtonY]; // 430.0
[self addOverlayButton];
[self initTableView]; // initiate the tableview and works properly
}
#pragma mark Camera Button
- (void)addOverlayButton {
self.oButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
self.oButton.frame = CGRectMake(132.0, self.originalOrigin, 56.0, 56.0);

[self.oButton addTarget:self action:#selector(toCameraView:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[self.view insertSubview:self.oButton aboveSubview:self.view];
}
/** Remove this function and the button stayed where I expected it
- (void)scrollViewDidScroll:(UIScrollView *)scrollView {
CGRect tableBounds = self.tableView.bounds;
// floating Button;
CGRect floatingButtonFrame = self.oButton.frame;
floatingButtonFrame.origin.y = self.originalOrigin + tableBounds.origin.y;
self.oButton.frame = floatingButtonFrame;
[self.view bringSubviewToFront:self.oButton]; // float over the tableHeader
}

Making a UIButton change a UIImageView image

I'm very new to programming and objective c so please go easy on me.
I would like a UIButton (which I'm using as an IBAction) to change an the image in a UIImageView when pressed. I put the UIImageView into a UIScrollView in the storyboard but I hope I can still programmatically change the image.
I have searched absolutely everywhere for an answer for hours but nothing has worked for me either because it wasn't the right solution or I didn't do it properly.
I have tried this code and some more but they always return a "Thread 1: signal SIGABRT" when I press the button:
imageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed: #"Ruler pic inch.png"];
Here is my code so far:
ViewController.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import <iAd/iAd.h>
#interface ViewController : UIViewController <ADBannerViewDelegate, UIScrollViewDelegate> {
ADBannerView *adView;
BOOL bannerIsVisible;
IBOutlet UIScrollView *scrollView;
IBOutlet UIImageView *imageView;
IBOutlet UIButton *proVersion;
IBOutlet UIButton *howToUse;
}
- (IBAction)switchUnit:(id)sender;
#property (nonatomic, assign) BOOL bannerIsVisible;
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIScrollView *scrollView;
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIImageView *imageView;
#end
ViewController.m
#import "ViewController.h"
#interface ViewController ()
#end
#implementation ViewController
#synthesize bannerIsVisible;
#synthesize scrollView;
#synthesize imageView;
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
// Hide status bar:
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES];
// iAd:
adView = [[ADBannerView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];
adView.frame = CGRectOffset(adView.frame, 0, -50.0f);
[self.view addSubview:adView];
adView.delegate=self;
self.bannerIsVisible=NO;
// Setting scrollview content size to size of image
scrollView.contentSize = CGSizeMake(320,2246);
}
-(void)bannerViewDidLoadAd:(ADBannerView *)banner
{
if (!self.bannerIsVisible) {
[UIView beginAnimations:#"animateAdBannerOn" context:NULL];
banner.frame = CGRectOffset(banner.frame, 0, 50.0f);
[UIView commitAnimations];
self.bannerIsVisible = YES;
}
}
-(void)bannerView:(ADBannerView *)banner didFailToReceiveAdWithError:(NSError *)error
{
if (self.bannerIsVisible) {
[UIView beginAnimations:#"animateAdBannerOff" context:NULL];
banner.frame = CGRectOffset(banner.frame, 0, -50.0f);
[UIView commitAnimations];
self.bannerIsVisible = NO;
}
}
- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
{
[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
- (IBAction)switchUnit:(id)sender {
// CODE THAT MAKES IMAGE CHANGE GOES HERE (I thought...)
}
#end
Help would be greatly appreciated. I'm fed up with it. I've probably done a silly mistake somewhere but I can't work it out. Thanks in advance.
General pointers:
Try to use #property for all your instance variables (it'll server you well in future)
Don't use #synthesize (the compiler does a better job of it for you)
If you have a property bob, access it by using self.bob
Turn on ARC (looks like you don't have it on currently)
Best not to have any spaces in image names
To be clear on properties, when you have a property you don't need to create instance variables in between {} of the #interface. These should be removed in order to prevent multiple definitions. The auto-synthesising done by the compiler will define the instance variables for you but you should always use the property to access the value (as in item 3 above).
That said, your - (IBAction)switchUnit:(id)sender looks fine, if a little empty. The code should be something like:
self.imageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"Ruler_pic_inch.png"];
For it to work, the image Ruler_pic_inch.png would need to be in your bundle (which means it's in Xcode project and set to copy during the build.
Again, that said, your problem would seem to relate to you being confused somewhere. SIGABRT type issues would usually be picked up by the compiler and notified to you as a warning saying something like "some object may not respond to some selector". If you see any of those, look at them and work out why you're trying to ask the object a question it doesn't understand.
If you don't see any compiler warnings, then you've told the compiler that an object is going to be of one type and then actually set it to something else. In this case I'd look at your IBOutlets in Storyboard and check that they are actually set to the correct destination view (disconnect and reconnect them all to be sure).

UIScrollView + UIImage and zoom: not fluid

I have view controller, and inside that I have a UIScrollView, for managing the zoom, and a UIImage.
Now I'm handling the zoom effect with UIScrollViewDelegate delegate and method viewForZoomingInScrollView:... but the result is very poor, definitely not fluid!
This is my code:
#import "ImageViewController.h"
#interface ImageViewController () <UIScrollViewDelegate, UIActionSheetDelegate>
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIScrollView *scrollView;
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIImageView *imageView;
#end
#implementation ImageViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
self.scrollView.delegate = self;
self.scrollView.maximumZoomScale = 3.0;
// some code
}
- (UIView *)viewForZoomingInScrollView:(UIScrollView *)scrollView {
return self.imageView;
}
// last update
- (void)scrollViewDidZoom:(UIScrollView *)scrollView {
if ([self.scrollView zoomScale] < 1.0) {
[self.scrollView setZoomScale:1.0];
}
}
// some other methods...
#end
This is the storyboard view:
I'm not using a Pinch Gesture Recognizer.
All images are quite small like 640x480.
Thanks
P.S. this is a continue of UICollectionView and images.
Checkout out this tutorial I wrote. The first part is exactly what you need to implement.
This has been addressed in other posts:

How do I switch between 2 image using UISegmentcontrol?

I've tried writing this code but I don't think it's correct cause there is an error with the viewDidLoad.
I'm trying to switch between 2 images in the same UIImageView using UISegmentcontol using Storyboard. All the examples online are for switching labels and not using Xcode storyboard.
h.file
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#interface ViewController : UIViewController
{
IBOutlet UIImageView *myImage;
IBOutlet UISegmentedControl *segControl;
}
#property(nonatomic, retain)IBOutlet UIImageView *myImage;
#property (nonatomic, retain)IBOutlet UISegmentedControl *segControl;
- (IBAction)switchButton:(id)sender;
#end
m.file
#import "ViewController.h"
#interface ViewController ()
#end
#implementation ViewController
#synthesize myImage;
#synthesize segControl;
- (IBAction)switchButton:(id)sender
{
if (segControl.selectedSegmentIndex == 0)
{
[myImage setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"image1.jpg"]];
}
else
if (segControl.selectedSegmentIndex == 1)
{
[myImage setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"image2.jpg"]];
}
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
UIImage *myImage = [myImage setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"image1.jpg"]];
}
If you want to fill the segments of the segmented control with images, you don't need code. Just use the storyboard.

Why isn't my UIButton responding to touches?

I'm sure I'm overlooking the obvious as I've got countless working buttons...but...for whatever reason this one is not cooperating...
I've added a UIButton (Rounded Rect) to a UIView subclass (DialogView) which is a subview of my view controller's view. This subview is created almost entirely in IB. I've wired up the button to (IBAction)okButtonPressed:(id)sender in IB to Touch Up Inside and created a corresponding method in DialogView. However when I "touch" this button it doesn't trigger the method. userInteractionEnabled is true for the VC's view, DialogView and the UIButton.
Thinking maybe initWithCoder had to do some frame manipulation or something I added the following which successfully logs to console.
- (id)initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)decoder {
if (self = [super initWithCoder:decoder]) {
NSLog(#"DialogView initWithCoder called");
}
return self;
}
In further exploration I wired up an IBOutlet to the button and then if I try to change the titleLabel from the view controller I notice that it get's severely truncated. Default text of say "Press Me!" set in IB displays fine when view is first drawn. But if I change the text...
self.DialogView.okButton.titleLabel.text = #"Not Working";
...it gets truncated to "N..."
Dunno if this is related. Probably...
Anyone see what I've screwed up here?
Edit (adding code related to showing UIButton):
From the View Controller:
self.DialogView = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:#"DialogView" owner:self options:nil] objectAtIndex:0];;
self.DialogView.myVC = self;
self.DialogView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
self.DialogView.center = CGPointMake(self.view.frame.size.width / 2, self.view.frame.size.height / 2);
self.DialogView.nameLabel.text = loan.fullName;
self.DialogView.noteLabel.text = loan.summaryOfLoan;
self.DialogView.amountLabel.text = [currencyFormatter stringFromNumber:loan.originalAmount];
self.DialogView.alpha = 0.0;
[self.view addSubview:DialogView];
The UILabels all displaying as expected. As is the problem UIButton. I can see it I just can't interact with it!?!
DialogView's interface:
#class MyViewController;
#interface DialogView : UIView {
IBOutlet UILabel *nameLabel, *noteLabel, *amountLabel;
IBOutlet UIImageView *arrowView;
IBOutlet UIButton *okButton;
MyViewController *myVC;
}
#property (nonatomic, retain) UILabel *nameLabel, *noteLabel, *amountLabel;
#property (nonatomic, retain) UIImageView *arrowView;
#property (nonatomic, assign) MyViewController *myVC;
#property (nonatomic, retain) UIButton *okButton;
- (IBAction)okButtonPressed:(id)sender;
#end
And DialogView's implementation:
#import "DialogView.h"
#import "MyViewController.h"
#implementation DialogView
#synthesize nameLabel, noteLabel, amountLabel, arrowView, okButton;
#synthesize myVC;
- (void)dealloc {
[nameLabel release];
[noteLabel release];
[amountLabel release];
[arrowView release];
[okButton release];
[super dealloc];
}
- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame {
if (self = [super initWithFrame:frame]) {
// Initialization code
}
return self;
}
- (id)initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)decoder {
if (self = [super initWithCoder:decoder]) {
NSLog(#"DialogView initWithCoder called");
}
return self;
}
- (IBAction)okButtonPressed:(id)sender {
NSLog(#"pressed DialogView OK button");
[self.myVC.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect {
// Drawing code
}
#end
I thought that we should use -setTitle:forState: in order to set button's title ?
An other thought, did you check that the button's frame is not CGRectZero ? And by the way, all the frames for the view in the hierarchy ? And check that one superview in the hierarchy is not user interaction disabled ?
And, I think imageView does not respond to touches, do you have one in your code ?
I was just having more or less the same problem and I found that my containing view did not have "User Interaction Enabled".
Hope this helps.
Do you maybe have two buttons on top of one another? Change the IB project window to the detail view and see if your view has more buttons than you are expecting. Maybe you've wired up a button that's not actually getting the press you're expecting.
