How Do I Switch Views With PageControl & UIScrollView? - iphone

Question

I'm a noob to Iphone development (3rd day in Xcode) and I am trying to implement pageControl and scrollview so users can swipe between various pages. I'm using this tutorial and I can't figure out how to load/switch views from nib files as opposed to just changing the background color of a view. Any help is greatly appreciated.
MY CODE
Modification of PageControlExampleViewController.m renamed NewsClass2
// Creates the color list the first time this method is invoked. Returns one color object from the list.
+ (UIColor *)pageControlColorWithIndex:(NSUInteger)index {
if (__pageControlColorList == nil) {
__pageControlColorList = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:[UIColor redColor], [UIColor greenColor], [UIColor magentaColor],
[UIColor blueColor], [UIColor orangeColor], [UIColor brownColor], [UIColor grayColor], nil];
}
// Mod the index by the list length to ensure access remains in bounds.
return [__pageControlColorList objectAtIndex:index % [__pageControlColorList count]];
}
//Changing views instead of colors, not working
+ (UIView *)pageControlViewWithIndex:(NSUInteger)index {
if (__pageControlViewrList == nil) {
__pageControlViewrList = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:[[UIView alloc] initWithNibName:#"PageView" bundle:nil], [[UIView alloc] initWithNibName:#"PageView" bundle:nil], [[UIView alloc] initWithNibName:#"PageView" bundle:nil],
[[UIView alloc] initWithNibName:#"PageView" bundle:nil], [[UIView alloc] initWithNibName:#"PageView" bundle:nil], [[UIView alloc] initWithNibName:#"PageView" bundle:nil], [[UIView alloc] initWithNibName:#"PageView" bundle:nil], nil];
}
// Mod the index by the list length to ensure access remains in bounds.
return [__pageControlViewList objectAtIndex:index % [__pageControlViewList count]];
}
// Set the label and background color when the view has finished loading.
- (void)viewDidLoad {
pageNumberLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"Page %d", pageNumber + 1];
self.view.backgroundColor = [NewsClass2 pageControlColorWithIndex:pageNumber];
//Setting View Not Working
self.view = [NewsClass2 pageControlViewWithIndex:pageNumber];
}

welcome to Objective C.
First of all you need to set delegate of scroll view like
//in .h file write
#interface ViewController : UIViewController<UIScrollViewDelegate>
// in viewDidLoad
self.scrollView.delegate = self;
then write in delegate method of UIScrollView write...
-(void)scrollViewDidScroll:(UIScrollView *)scrollView
{
CGFloat pageWidth = scrollView.frame.size.width;
int page = floor((scrollView.contentOffset.x - pageWidth / 2) / pageWidth) + 1;
self.pageControl.currentPage = page;
}
then make an IBAction of valueChange for pageControl like .....
- (IBAction)changePage:(id)sender
{
int page = self.pageControlHelp.currentPage;
CGRect frame = self.scrollViewHelp.frame;
frame.origin.x = frame.size.width * page;
frame.origin.y = 0;
[self.scrollViewHelp scrollRectToVisible:frame animated:YES];
}
And you have done .......
If you have any confusion for this please feel free to ask......
