I am just wondering what are a component to make a Ui design card for ios apps? cause I saw a lot of these cool card design on pinterest and I was wondering how to make it. Like what are the component to make such a design.
I surf the web and found that mostly they using the new SwiftUI to make that kinda design, but i was wondering is there any possible way to make it with just a regular Storyboard? and i still don't get it the component like is it using button that custom design with Xib or it using regular tableview or what?
If there's any good Library from cocoapods I would like to know either.
this is the type of card design that I want to ask :
[
also there's a link of the kinda same design as well that I saw from pinterest :
https://pin.it/694Q8hb
If anyone knows how to make this with a standard Storyboard, like what the components are and maybe if there are any libraries from cocoapods please let me know okay, cause i wanna make this type of design for my thesis, which I'm already half way of development and I just want to make a good design, and I think this card design type looks perfect on my apps. Cheers Guys :)
This can be done pretty easily in SwiftUI. You can use a VStack (or LazyVStack or LazyVGrid) to set up the list view (much easier than TableViews) and then make a custom, reusable view that looks like one of the views and set it as the Label in a Button. Here's some code (simplified) to get you started:
import SwiftUI
struct CustomView: View {
var body: some View {
VStack {
Button(action: {
print("First button pressed")
}, label: {
CustomRowView(buttonTitle: "First Button")
})
Button(action: {
print("Second button pressed")
}, label: {
CustomRowView(buttonTitle: "Second Button")
})
Button(action: {
print("Third button pressed")
}, label: {
CustomRowView(buttonTitle: "Third Button")
})
Spacer()
}
.padding()
}
}
struct CustomRowView: View {
#State var buttonTitle: String
var body: some View {
Text(buttonTitle)
.frame(maxWidth: .infinity)
.foregroundColor(.white)
.padding(.vertical, 40)
.background(Color.blue)
.cornerRadius(12)
}
}
struct CustomViewsz_Previews: PreviewProvider {
static var previews: some View {
CustomView()
}
}
The easiest way to get the look from those images is a UIView with:
A custom background
Set the corner radius with view.layer.cornerRadius
A shadow effect
UILabels and UIImageViews as children views
Probably a custom touchesBegan and touchesEnded implementation to make it behave like a button.
The views can be contained in a tableview, removing the custom dividers and stuff.
Also:
Code reuse is your friend! Put these specifications in a reusable class that you can reuse whenever you need that design.

I am new in SwiftUI developing, In a SwiftUI project, I created a list of items then I followed the tips in this link to enabled edit button for this,
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/editbutton
It works properly for iPhone interface, But in iPad, It has a very strange behaviour. Look at this video below to see how it works in iPad.
https://imgur.com/a/0CLkqiz
If you check this, the way it shows in iPad, when the Edit button text wants to turn to Done, the text steps forward and also creates a transparency with done and edit while it works properly and smooth and fixed in iPhone. I wonder if there might be any special settings for iPad interface in SwiftUI that would fix this problem.
This is my code for this:
struct QRCreator: View {
#State var showingCreateView = false
#State public var fruits = [
"Apple",
"Banana",
"Papaya",
"Mango"
]
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
List {
ForEach(fruits, id: \.self) { fruit in
Text(fruit)
}
.onDelete { fruits.remove(atOffsets: $0) }
.onMove { fruits.move(fromOffsets: $0, toOffset: $1) }
}
.navigationTitle("Fruits2")
.navigationBarItems(trailing:
Button(action: {
showingCreateView = true
}){
Image(systemName: "plus.viewfinder")
.font(.largeTitle)
}
)
.toolbar {
EditButton()
}
}
}
and here is ContentView which I define three tabs in it like this
TabView
{
NavigationView{
QRScanner()
}
.tabItem
{
Image(systemName: "qrcode.viewfinder")
Text("Scanner")
}
NavigationView {
QRCreator()
}
.tabItem
{
Image(systemName: "doc.fill.badge.plus")
Text("Creator")
}
NavigationView
{
QRSetting()
}
.tabItem
{
Image(systemName: "gear")
Text("Setting")
}
}
There seem to be two layers at play:
From the screen recording, it would appear that your NavigationView is actually wrapped by another NavigationView (or NavigationStack/SplitView) somewhere further up the view hierarchy in your implementation. Besides the odd layout, this also creates a tricky situation in regards to toolbar items like your buttons, and the EditMode environment value that EditButton manipulates.
There is an iPad-specific animation bug in SwiftUI's implementation of EditButton. When clicked with a mouse/trackpad as in your screen recording, the button briefly shows both labels ("Edit" & "Done") at the same time. This doesn't happen when you tap the button directly.
It is only when issues 1 & 2 collide, that I actually run into the more problematic behavior that you've captured: the button jumps and the list also jumps.
If I keep everything as you have shown it (including the doubled-up NavigationViews), but tap the button instead of clicking it with a cursor, things seem fine (although I would expect other possible issues down the road).
If I get rid of the outer NavigationView, but click the button, the button itself still exhibits a slightly odd animation, but it is nowhere near as bad as before. And most importantly, the list animates and behaves correctly.
I tried a couple of approaches to work around the button's remaining animation bug, but nothing short of re-implementing a custom edit button worked.
PS: I know you might've already come across this, but since you said that you're just starting out with iOS 16 introduced new views and APIs for navigation (and in typical fashion for SwiftUI's documentation, older pages like the one for EditButton have not been updated). Depending on how complex your app is, switching later on can be a bit of a pain, so here's a good WWDC video introducing the new API: The SwiftUI cookbook for navigation as well as some blog posts.
Here's a view that navigates to a 2nd view:
struct ContentView: View {
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
NavigationLink {
SecondView()
} label: {
Text("Go to 2nd view")
}
}
}
}
struct SecondView: View {
var body: some View {
ZStack {
Color.red
VStack {
Text("This is a test")
.background(.green)
//Spacer() // <--If you add this, it pushes the Text to the top, but its background no longer respects the safe area--why is this?
}
}
}
}
On the 2nd screen, the green background of the Text view only extends to its border, which makes sense because the Text is a pull-in view:
Now, if you add Spacer() after the Text(), the Text view pushes to the top of the VStack, which makes sense, but why does its green background suddenly push into the safe area?
In the Apple documentation here, it says:
By default, SwiftUI sizes and positions views to avoid system defined
safe areas to ensure that system content or the edges of the device
won’t obstruct your views. If your design calls for the background to
extend to the screen edges, use the ignoresSafeArea(_:edges:) modifier
to override the default.
However, in this case, I'm not using ignoresSafeArea, so why is it acting as if I did, rather than perform the default like Apple says, which is to avoid the safe areas?
You think that you use old background modifier version.
But actually, the above code uses a new one, introduced in iOS 15 version of background modifier which by default ignores all safe area edges:
func background<S>(_ style: S, ignoresSafeAreaEdges edges: Edge.Set = .all) -> some View where S : ShapeStyle
To fix the issue just replace .background(.green) with .background(Color.green) if your app deployment target < iOS 15.0, otherwise use a new modifier: .background { Color.green }.
I'm using SwiftUI's brand new Label View, running Xcode 12 beta on Big Sur.
As image I use SF Symbol and found an image named "play". But I've noticed the same problem with custom images without any bordering pixels (i.e. spacing is not caused by the image), e.g. PDF icons, so it is probably not related to the image.
In demos by Apple the Text and the image should just automatically align properly, but I do not see that.
struct ContentView: View {
var body: some View {
Label("Play", systemImage: "play")
}
}
Results in this:
Any ideas why the image (icon) and the text is vertically misaligned?
If we give the Button a background color we see more precisely the misalignment:
Label("Play", systemImage: "play")
.background(Color.red)
Results in this:
Probably a bug, so worth submitting feedback to Apple. Meanwhile here is working solution based on custom label style.
Tested with Xcode 12b
struct CenteredLabelStyle: LabelStyle {
func makeBody(configuration: Configuration) -> some View {
HStack {
configuration.icon
configuration.title
}
}
}
struct TestLabelMisalignment: View {
var body: some View {
Label("Play", systemImage: "play")
.labelStyle(CenteredLabelStyle())
}
}
#Sajjon You can add a custom View as a workaround and use Image with Text inside a HStack
In a SwiftUI app, I'm trying to create a list that automatically scrolls to the next row when a button is pressed.
Apparently, this functionality isn't currently possible with a SwiftUI List, but is with UITableView using the scrollToRowAtIndexPath method as mentioned in part #3 of this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/58830883/11698443 This answer is well explained but doesn't suggest how to implement what they described as the best solution.
Below is some example code of how the list could look in SwiftUI. The goal would be for the button to be pressed and then for the list to scroll to the next row. I think the solution would need to interface with UIKit in order for it to work. It would be awesome if someone could figure out how to do this in the cleanest possible way. It's unfortunate that this can't be done using all SwiftUI.
Thanks in advance to anyone who thinks that they can solve this problem.
import SwiftUI
struct ScrollingList: View {
var body: some View {
List(0 ..< 10) { item in
VStack {
Text("\(item)")
Button(action: {}) {
Text("Scroll To Next Item")
}
}
.frame(height: 500)
.background(Color.blue)
}
}
}
check out this nifty library, https://github.com/siteline/SwiftUI-Introspect. with it you can do this:
import Introspect
List {
Text("some")
Text("list")
}.introspectTableView { tableView in
tableView.scrollToRowAtIndexPath(<#IndexPath#>, atScrollPosition: <#UITableView.ScrollPosition#>, animated: <#Bool#>)
}
I'm trying to implement a menu on Apple Watch using SwiftUI but I can't find a way to do it. Even on the interface.storyboard, I can't drag/drop the menu.
Did you manage to make it work with SwiftUI? If yes, how?
I searched online but nothing so far.
Yes, this is possible. It's important to remember that unlike on iOS, a view can have only one single context menu, individual elements within the view can not have their own context menu.
Anyway, to implement a context menu (force touch menu) on Apple Watch with SwiftUI, add the .contextMenu() modifier to top-most view in your body
Example:
var body: some View {
Group {
Text("Hello Daymo")
}
.contextMenu(menuItems: {
Button(action: {
print("Refresh")
}, label: {
VStack{
Image(systemName: "arrow.clockwise")
.font(.title)
Text("Refresh view")
}
})
})
}
Edit the button (or add buttons) as you see fit.
