Had to cover a subclass of PDFView with an NSView to draw lines and texts, as PDFPage or PDFAnnotation don't seem to work at all.
Successfully added the subview, showed a random text, but the problem is when I tried to scroll, only the underlining PDFView is scrolling, its subview (NSView) is standing still.
Codes are as following: (m_markingView is NSView, m_drawing is PDFView)
m_markingView = [[CLMarkingView alloc] initWithFrame:m_drawing.bounds];
[m_drawing addSubview:m_markingView];
[m_drawing setNeedsDisplay:YES];
Anyone has any idea? Many thanks!
(PS: PDFPage and PDFAnnotation work only at the start of the page, when you scroll the PDFView, all the lines and annotations will go away without ever coming back.)

I recently updated my xcode to 4.5 but now my UIScrollView Doesn't work anymore, in my previous xcode I made the scrollview at the exact same way and placed a imageview background and some buttons in it, they scroll along when I scroll.
Now with this new xcode when I place something in it, it doesn't scroll at all. Only when I put textview in it and make the text longer then the screen then it will scroll, but even then when I place a button on it the button won't scroll along, just the text. It's realy annoying and I don't know what Im doing wrong.. I've been trying to find a solution to this all day.
my ScrollView is placed in my view and got size 320,480.
in my ViewDidLoad I have:
[scroller setScrollEnabled:YES];
[scroller setContentSize:CGSizeMake(320, 481)];
I also have a picture to make my setup more clear, When I run the project in this picture it does scroll because of the text length. the image background is 320x960 but the picture doesn't scroll along it should go to the bottom where to color becomes more dark.. I hope you understand what I mean.

I made a video showing what I do, showing that it doesnt scroll when I put something in it

set your scrollView contentSizes height more than its original height then it would be vertically scrollable for sure.
Try this -
[scroller setContentSize:CGSizeMake(320, 800)];
Then see it scrolls or not.
I am working in an app in which I need to give feature like Notes App in iphone. as shown in first screen shot , initially , notes leaves a tab before the content starts, I also wanted to do the same and for that when I set Left Content inset (of UITextView) by 25 , it shows like in screenshot 2, here you may see the image also gets shifted. I have set image as background. I don't know how to solve this problem.
I also tried by adding image as subview of UITextview but it won't repeat the lines, while scrolling (image of lines) like notes app.
I'm setting the background of Textview by following code.
[textView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"line_image.png"]]];
Please tell me if I am going wrong or any extra effort needed to get desired output.
Thanks
UITextView is UIScrollView subclass so all relevant delegate method are available for you (e.g. scrollViewDidScroll:) - you can adjust your custom background in that method.
There's very nice post on Dr.Touch blog about recreating Notes app interface - you can get general idea about how it is done from it. Basically what is done there is adding custom view that draws background behind the text view and adjust it in text view's delegate methods and also using KVO on its 'contentSize' property.
#Dinesh gave nice solution but it doesn't sound to be generic as I want to use image of lines instead of drawing them. Image has some special effects that can not be achieved by drawing. So to solve it I created a table view below the textview keeping textview's background transparent. Now just added the image of line to my tableview's custom cell and set content offset of UItableview same as of the scrollview (subview of text view ,refering to the answer of #Vladimir ) .
And used the following code to scroll my tableview with scrolling the textview and got the desired output.
- (void)scrollViewDidScroll:(UIScrollView *)scrollView
{
tableView.contentOffset =scrollView.contentOffset;
}
Keeping my tableview's number of rows at a very large number.
PS: instead of setting the content inset of textview, i set its frame's X position and decreased the width relaively.
I'm new in Iphone. I have an UITextView inside a UIImageView . Now I need to dynamically resize the UIImageView so that its textview also change its size dynamically. Moreover I can move this UIImageView with UITextView around the screen. If any one knows this using UIGuesture please help me.
Any help would be appreciated
If you are looking at resizing the UIImageView object, look at the UIPinchGestureRecognizer. It will have a property called scale that you can use to change its size.
As for the UITextView object that is the subview, you can look at autoresizingMask property inherited from UIView. Set it appropriately so that the text view scales in response to its super view.
For moving the image view, you can use the UIPanGestureRecognizer. You can get the translation using translationInView:. Use this to modify the center of the image view object. This should move the image view as you drag your finger around.
I hope you've gone through the guide. Let us know if you face problems implementing this and put some code so that we can guide you in the right direction.
I am currently working on an application for a client, and they have made an odd request. The request involves putting a custom image as the indicator for the scrollview. I am not even sure if this is possible but if it is can you please let me know how one would go about doing that.
Thanks
UIScrollView streches a small, semi-transparent circle image to generate its scrollbars. You can find this image as the first subview of a UIScrollView:
UIImageView *circle = [scrollView.subviews objectAtIndex:0];
However, as I said this image is stretched, and as far as I can tell, only the alpha values are considered when drawing the scroll bars.
So for example if you're only interested in changing the top/bottom ends of the scroll bar, you can try to change this image. However, I doubt you'll be able to do anything interesting.
A possible solution that comes to mind, and this is only a theory, is to add a custom, transparent UIView on top of a UIScrollView. Then you can hide the default scroll bar (by using showsHorizontalScrollIndicator and showsVerticalScrollIndicator), pass the necessary touch events to the UIScrollView to scroll the content, and draw the scrollbars in your custom view.
I have built a view for an iPhone app in Interface Builder. It is a UIScrollview with a UIView and a UIButton on the UIView. The only code I have is setting the scroll view's contentSize to 320x550 in the viewDidLoad method of the xib's File Owner class. When the button is within the normal view area (320x480) the button responds as normal, but if is placed outside of those boundaries in Interface Builder the button will not respond when I scroll to it and click the button.
What am I missing? I figure it might be something I need to set on the UIView. But I am not sure what that is.
Your UIButton won't response even it's visible because it's not in the boundary of parent view. You can see object outside the boundary of its parent view because it's a default behavior of UIView to draw all subview (clipsToBounds = NO)
To see the truth, try this code.
UIView *yourUIView = ...
yourUIView.clipsToBounds = YES;
yourUIView.backgroundColor = [UIColor cyanColor];
You will no longer see your UIButton.
To fix this, enlarge your UIView.
I had the same problem as the person who posted the question. Thanks to the first answer, I had a hint as to what to do. I increased the height of the view by adjusting the frame. This, apparently must be done in code. Once this was done, however, the toolbar at the bottom was no longer visible. So before I adjust the height of the view, I grab the position of the tool bar. Then after adjusting the height of the view, I reset the position of the tool bar. Now all is good.
