iOS subclassing UIControl not responding - objective-c

im doing a test for subclassing uiControl, but it is not working yet,
here my code:
MainVC.m::
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
TesteaContol *tt = [[[TesteaContol alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(20, 20, 80, 30)]autorelease];
[tt addTarget:self action:#selector(ttActiono:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[self.view addSubview:tt];
}
- (void)ttActiono:(TesteaContol*)message
{
NSLog(#"proyection");
}
TesteaContol.h
#interface TesteaContol : UIControl
TesteaControl.m
#import "TesteaContol.h"
#implementation TesteaContol
- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame
{
self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
if (self) {
// Initialization code
NSLog(#"cao");
UIButton *vacas = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
[vacas setTitle:#"pingus" forState:UIControlStateNormal]; ;
vacas.titleLabel.textColor = [UIColor blackColor];
vacas.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 80, 40);
[vacas addTarget:self action:#selector(vacasPressed:) forControlEvents:UIControlStateNormal];
[self addSubview:vacas];
}
return self;
}
- (void) vacasPressed:(id) sender
{
NSLog(#"vacanio");
[self sendActionsForControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
}
so I am testing with a uiButton, i see the button, but is not responding to the touches,
what im i missing?
thanks!

There is a problem here:
[vacas addTarget:self action:#selector(vacasPressed:)
forControlEvents:UIControlStateNormal];
The "forControlEvents" part should be of type UIControlEvents which UIControlStateNormal is not. For a regular button, you want to replace UIControlStateNormal with UIControlEventTouchUpInside:
[vacas addTarget:self action:#selector(vacasPressed:)
forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

NavigationBar alpha value changed automatically after dismissing view controller

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.

Calling an IBAction in code and sending a tag through too

So I have an IBAction hooked up to multiple buttons in IB I want this action to be fired when another IBAction is called I also want it to recognise an int from the second action as the [sender tag].
// viewController.m
-(IBAction)buttonPress {
int getInter = [sender tag];
UIView *tmpView = [self.view viewWithTag:getInter];
NSString *title = [(UIButton *)sender currentTitle];
}
I then have another action that needs to call buttonPress.
-(IBAction)secondButtonPress {
int varInt = 1
[self buttonPress: nil] <--- How do I pass varInt that buttonPress would recognise as a sender Tag here?
}
I realise that I could just create the button like so and duplicate the code in secondButtonPress but that seems to messy...
UIButton *tmpButton2 = (UIButton *)[self.view viewWithTag:varInt];
So the question is, is there a way of tricking buttonPress into thinking it has been pressed and passing a variable through as the sender tag for that action. In a way programatically tricking buttonPress into thinking it has been pressed.
Thank you in advance.
I ended up hooking it up to the same IBAction and running an if statement to do something if that tag was called.
Seems simple now!
-(IBAction)buttonPress {
int getInter = [sender tag];
if ([sender tag] == 2) {
//Do something just for that button.
}
else
{
UIView *tmpView = [self.view viewWithTag:getInter];
NSString *title = [(UIButton *)sender currentTitle];
}
}
UIButton *btn1 = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 10, 20, 20)];
[btn1 setTitle:#"Button 1" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
btn1.tag = 1;
[btn1 addTarget:self action:#selector(buttonClick:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[self.view addSubview:btn1];
UIButton *btn2 = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 50, 20, 20)];
[btn2 setTitle:#"Button 2" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
btn2.tag = 2;
[btn2 addTarget:self action:#selector(buttonClick:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[self.view addSubview:btn2];
UIButton *btn3 = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 90, 20, 20)];
[btn3 setTitle:#"Button 3" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
btn3.tag = 3;
[btn3 addTarget:self action:#selector(buttonClick:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[self.view addSubview:btn3];
write button click method as following and get button tag in it..
-(IBAction)buttonClick:(id)sender {
UIButton *btn = (UIButton *) sender;
NSLog(#"%d",btn.tag);
}
Just set the tag in initWithNibName method. Follow the sample and see whether it is helpful for you!!
#property(nonatomic,strong)IBOutlet UIButton *btn1;
#property(nonatomic,strong)IBOutlet UIButton *btn2;
- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil
{
self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil];
if (self) {
// Set the Tag
self.btn1.tag=1;
self.btn1.tag=2;
}
return self;
}
-(IBAction)selectedButtonClick:(id)sender {
UIButton *btn = (UIButton *) sender;
NSLog(#"selectedButton%d",btn.tag);
}

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

Why is my UIButton not displaying on my view?

I have a iOS5 project using storyboard and with ARC on.
I have a view in storyboard with the class thisViewController and in there I got a smaller subview which I dragged in and gave it the class thisView.
thisView has a custom drawRect function, that works and draws what I want nicely.
But I also want to add buttons dynamically, so I'll add them in the initWithFrame method of thisView like so:
- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame
{
self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
if (self) {
NSLog(#"This is called <3");
UIButton *btn= [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
btn.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 50, 50);
btn.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
[btn setTitle:#"Play" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[btn addTarget:self action:#selector(buttonClick) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[self addSubview:btn];
[self bringSubviewToFront:btn]; // last thing I tried, didn't work, thought z-index was to low or something
}
return self;
}
The function is being called since the NSLog displays, but the button is nowhere to be found
--EDIT--
Extra information:
ThisView.h
#interface RadarView : UIView <CLLocationManagerDelegate>{
CLLocation *currentLocation;
}
Dont add the SubView in the init method.
Add the SubView in the - (void)layoutSubviews.
- (void)layoutSubviews {
[super layoutSubviews];
if (![self viewWithTag:12345]) {
UIButton *btn= [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
btn.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 50, 50);
btn.tag = 12345;
btn.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
[btn setTitle:#"Play" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[btn addTarget:self action:#selector(buttonClick) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[self addSubview:btn];
}
}
I found what the problem was thanks to some comments and the chat
There was an init in the radarviewcontroller, which triggered initwithframe, which made the NSLog display, and the initwithcoder wasn't used so I didn't see anything, that was the problem and got stuff mixed up. Thanks for commenting and helpin!

How can I replace the text in a round rect button with a spinner?

I have a view with a generic rounded rect button that segues to another view. When users press the rounded rect it starts a fetch. I would like to have a spinning wheel replace the text ("Next") inside the rounded rect button while the fetch is processed.
I created the spinner:
UIActivityIndicatorView *spinner = [[UIActivityIndicatorView alloc] initWithActivityIndicatorStyle:UIActivityIndicatorViewStyleGray];
[spinner startAnimating];
But I don't know how to make it replace the text in the rounded rect button.
Any suggestion? Thank you.
Create (or get a reference to) the button as usual, then, while handling the button click, create your spinner and set it as a subview of the button. It's probably also worth disabling the button to stop multiple clicks.
Something along the following lines should do the trick:
...
UIButton *button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
button.frame = CGRectMake(10, 10, 70, 40);
[button setTitle:#"Next" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[button addTarget:self action:#selector(click:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[self.view addSubview:button];
...
- (void)click:(UIButton *)button {
[button setTitle:#"" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
UIActivityIndicatorView *spinner = [[UIActivityIndicatorView alloc] initWithActivityIndicatorStyle:UIActivityIndicatorViewStyleGray];
[spinner startAnimating];
spinner.frame = button.bounds;
[button addSubview:spinner];
button.enabled = NO;
// do your actual work...
}
I wrote a category that utilizes associated objects
UIButton+ActivityIndicator.h
// Created by reynaldo on 1/16/14.
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#interface UIButton (ActivityIndicator)
- (void)startActivityIndicator;
- (void)stopActivityIndicator;
#end
UIButton+ActivityIndicator.m
// Created by reynaldo on 1/16/14.
#import <objc/runtime.h>
#import "UIButton+ActivityIndicator.h"
static char TITLE_KEY;
static char ACTIVITY_INDICATOR_KEY;
#implementation UIButton (ActivityIndicator)
- (void)startActivityIndicator {
objc_setAssociatedObject(self, &TITLE_KEY, self.currentTitle, OBJC_ASSOCIATION_RETAIN_NONATOMIC);
[self setTitle:#"" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
UIActivityIndicatorView *activityIndicatorView = [[UIActivityIndicatorView alloc] initWithActivityIndicatorStyle:UIActivityIndicatorViewStyleWhite];
[self addSubview:activityIndicatorView];
activityIndicatorView.frame = CGRectMake(self.frame.size.width / 2, self.frame.size.height / 2. - 2, 7, 7);
[activityIndicatorView startAnimating];
objc_setAssociatedObject(self, &ACTIVITY_INDICATOR_KEY, activityIndicatorView, OBJC_ASSOCIATION_RETAIN_NONATOMIC);
}
- (void)stopActivityIndicator {
NSString *title = objc_getAssociatedObject(self, &TITLE_KEY);
UIActivityIndicatorView *activityIndicatorView = objc_getAssociatedObject(self, &ACTIVITY_INDICATOR_KEY);
if(activityIndicatorView) {
[activityIndicatorView removeFromSuperview];
}
if(title.length) {
[self setTitle:title forState:UIControlStateNormal];
}
}
#end
