UIScrollView: Animation banner effect - iphone

I have an UIScrollView with a PageControl, that show some pictures inside the view.
I'd like to create an animation, like a banner effect that changes the image after X seconds automatically.
Can do this with UIScrollView or should I use another way?
EDIT: #selector
- (void) changePage:(UIPageControl *)sender
{
if ([pageControl currentPage] < 3) {
[pageControl setCurrentPage:[pageControl currentPage] + 1];
} else{
[pageControl setCurrentPage:0];
}
}

UIScrollView is fine.
You have to set pagingEnabled on the scrollView and after a certain time, change the page selected on the scrollView.

Its simple, pagingEnabled changes current position as a page.
Change pageControl.pagingEnabled into pageControl.scrollEnabled

scrollEnabled : Scrolls like x/y axis as you scroll
pagingEnabled : Scrolls like current scroll view as a page for each scroll.
Now replace your pagingEnabled into scrollEnabled.

Scroll View not functioning IOS 7

I have a scrollview inside which i have 20 UItextviews. The scrollview is not working. I have set the following in viewdidload.
self.MainScroll.contentSize = CGSizeMake(320, 1800);
Still it doesn't scroll. However, if i give bounce vertically, it just bounces. My scrollview is a child of the main UIview of dimension 320*600. Please guide how to enable the scroll!!
There are two ways you can get the scrolling to work.
Approach 1 (with code):
1) Pin UIScrollView to the sides of its parent view, as mentioned below.
2) Set content size of your scroll view in viewDidLayoutSubviews:
- (void)viewDidLayoutSubviews {
self.MainScroll.contentSize = CGSizeMake(320, 1800);
}
Approach 2 (pure IB, no code required):
1) Setting contentSize is not required if using AutoLayout. You need to pin your UIScrollView to the parent view as mentioned below:
2) Then add another UIView inside UIScrollView to act as a content view and pin it to the UIScrollView and move all controls inside this content view:
3) Pin content view to its parent scroll view as mentioned below:
4) Set your UIViewController's Simulated Metrics to Freeform (this is important):
5) Size your content UIView to your desired height (obviously important too):
Apple article explaining UIScrollView and AutoLayouts:
https://developer.apple.com/library/content/technotes/tn2154/_index.html
Update the content size after some delay as below.
- (void)viewDidLayoutSubviews {
[self performSelector:#selector(updateContentSize)
withObject:nil
afterDelay:0.25];
}
-(void)updateContentSize{
UIView *viewLast = [viewContent viewWithTag:100];
scrollViewAd.contentSize = CGSizeMake([UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.width, CGRectGetMaxY(viewLast.frame));
}

UIScrollView inside UIView

I'm with a project in which I have a UIScrollView inside a UIView. Inside the UIScrollView has to see a list of buttons in 3 columns and X rows. I have the code that displays the buttons, but does not inserted into the UIScrollView, it prints over and does not scroll. Besides this, also cover the TabBar I have in the bottom of the view.
The code of the function that displais the buttons is
for (int y_axis=0; y_axis<=3; y_axis++)
{
for (int x_axis=0; x_axis<=2; x_axis++)
{
UIButton *btn=[[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(16+100*x_axis,100.0+115*y_axis,88.0 ,88.0)];
btn.backgroundColor=[UIColor brownColor];
[self.view addSubview:btn];
}
}
How can I do to display this in the UIScrollView? Thanks!!
Assuming you have a UIScrollView scroller, you have to change your last line to this;
[self.scroller addSubview:btn];
If not, you are adding it to the view, and not the scroller. Also, you have to change the scrollers contentsize, which is the X*Y if how much it contains. For it to contain the whole screen and nothing more;
[self.scroller setContentSize:CGSizeMake(320, 480)]
^ ^
Replace that with the width and the height you want to scroll. Each time you add a button below your new buttons, you should update the contentsize.
It's because you are adding buttons on view [self.view addSubview:btn]; not on ScrollView. Try to make a view with all you buttons. and set your view with buttons as contentview of your scrollview .
first you need the UIScrollViewDelegate in your .h file and then also check buttons are subview of yourScrollView or not also you add this button in your scrollview with code like this bellow...
[yourScrollView addSubview:yourbuttonname];
after that in your viewDidLoad method declare contentsize of your scrollview like this...
yourScrollView.contentSize=CGSizeMake(320, anyheight);///here define height which you want to scroll the view...
hope this help you....
:)
Try these steps:
for loop
{
create buttons along with the desired frames;
add those buttons to scrollview;
}
set the content size of the scrollview according to no of rows;
add the scroll view to main view i.e. self.view;

iphone: View on top of UIWebView?

I'm working on a browser app, and I have an address bar on top the UIWebView. On MobileSafari if you scroll down, the address bar starts to move to the top, out of the screen, and the UIWebView doesn't scroll. Only when the address bar disappears completely, it starts to scroll. I would like to have this effect in my app as well.
What's the best way to implement this?
Thanks
The only way to implement this requires iOS 5.
In iOS 5, UIWebView has an UIScrollView subview.
And use the following code:
Set a area for the address bar:
[[myWebView scrollView] setContentInset:UIEdgeInsetsMake(64, 0, 0, 0)];
Move the address bar using the scrollview delegate:
- (void)scrollViewDidScroll:(UIScrollView *)scrollView{
if(scrollView.contentOffset.y>=-64&&scrollView.contentOffset.y<30)
{
topBar.frame=CGRectMake(0,-44-scrollView.contentOffset.y, 320, 44);
}
else if(scrollView.contentOffset.y<-64)
topBar.frame=CGRectMake(0,20, 320, 44);//Lock the position
}
There is a way, but I am not sure if it is a bit too hacky. First search for the scrollview within the webview, then alter the contentInset and finally add the searchbar(for example) to the scrollview. The following code is just an example, I did not set any frames correctly and 40 is just a made up height for the searchbar. I am not sure if this will work in every iOS Version.
UIWebView * myWebView = [[UIWebView alloc] init]
UISearchBar * mySearchBar = [[UISearchBar alloc] init];
for (NSObject * aSubView in [myWebView subviews]) {
if ([aSubView isKindOfClass:[UIScrollView class]]) {
UIScrollView * theScrollView = (UIScrollView *)aSubView;
theScrollView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(40, 0, 0, 0);
[theScrollView addSubview:mySearchBar];
}
}
PeakJi's solution works but is a bit laggy. A better solution would be adding an observer to the UIScrollView's content offset, something like
[scrollview addObserver:self forKeyPath:#"contentOffset"
options:NSKeyValueObservingOptionNew context:nil];
You can find more document on NSKeyValueObserving protocol at
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/Cocoa/Reference/Foundation/Protocols/NSKeyValueObserving_Protocol/Reference/Reference.html
Come to think of it, it is simply a scrolling view with an address bar stuck on the top, and both the web view and the bar always move together. Now, lets say you create a scroll view and add two subviews, the address bar and the web view (one below the other). It is to be noted that the height of the web view is determined and fixed after the page has been loaded (in webViewDidFinishLoad:).
Hence, it is simply a scrolling view whose contentSize is equal to the height of the bar + the height of the web view. Now, by default the web view allows scrolling, as it has a scroll view as a subview. As only the outer scroll view should be scrolling, it is required that the web view's scrolling be turned off. For that, fetch the first subview (that's the scroll view) and disable its scrolling using:
(UIScrollView*)[myWebView.subviews objectAtIndex:0].scrollEnabled = NO;

UIScrollView: single tap scrolls it to top

I have the UIScrollView with pagingEnabled set to YES, and programmatically scroll its content to bottom:
CGPoint contentOffset = scrollView.contentOffset;
contentOffset.y = scrollView.contentSize.height - scrollView.frame.size.height;
[scrollView setContentOffset:contentOffset animated:YES];
it scrolls successfully, but after that, on single tap its content scrolls up to offset that it has just before it scrolls down. That happens only when I programmaticaly scroll scrollView's content to bottom and then tap. When I scroll to any other offset and then tap, nothing is happened.
That's definitely not what I'd like to get. How that should be fixed?
Much thanks in advance!
Timur.
This small hack prevents the UIScrollView from scrolling when tapped. Looks like this is happening when the scroll view has paging enabled.
In your UIScrollView delegate add this method:
- (void)scrollViewDidScroll:(UIScrollView *)scrollView {
scrollView.pagingEnabled = self.scrollView.contentOffset.x < (self.scrollView.contentSize.width - self.scrollView.frame.size.width);
}
This disables the paging when the scroll view reaches the right end in horizontal scrolling (my use case, you can adapt it to other directions easily).
I just figured out what causes this problem, and how to avoid it. If you having pagingEnabled set to YES on a scroll view, you must set the contentOffset to be a multiple of the scroll view's visible size (i.e. you should be on a paging boundary).
Concrete example:
If your scroll view was (say) 460 pixels high with a content area of 920, you would need to set the content offset to EITHER 0 or 460 if you want to avoid the "scroll to beginning on tap" problem.
As a bonus, the end result will probably look better since your scroll view will be aligned with the paging boundaries. :)
The following workaround did help (assume that one extends UIScrollView with a category, so 'self' refers to its instance):
-(BOOL) scrolledToBottom
{
return (self.contentSize.height <= self.frame.size.height) ||
(self.contentOffset.y == self.contentSize.height - self.frame.size.height);
}
Then, one should sometimes turn pagingEnabled off, just at the position where scroll view reaches its bottom. In the delegate (pagingEnabled is initialy on of course, since the problem occurs only when it is enabled):
-(void) scrollViewDidScroll:(UIScrollView *)scrollView
{
if (scrollView.pagingEnabled == YES)
{
if ([scrollView scrolledToBottom] == YES)
scrollView.pagingEnabled = NO;
}
else
{
if ([scrollView scrolledToBottom] == NO)
scrollView.pagingEnabled = YES;
}
}
This seems to be a bug:
UIScrollView doesn't remember the position
I have tested this on iOS 4.2 (Simulator) and the issue remains.
When scrolling a ScrollView I would suggest using
[scrollView scrollRectToVisible:CGRectMake(0,0,1,1) animated:YES];
Where the rect is the position you're after. (In this case the rect would be the top of the scrollview).
Changing the content offset is not the correct way of scrolling a scrollview.

Updating zoomScale of UIScrollView

I just created an animation to zoom in or zoom out a UIScrollView, but my problem is that the zoomScale is not updating. Like for example, I zoom out my UIView inside of my UIScrollView using the animation I created, but when I zoom in using expand gesture the UIView will automatically change to its big size or zoom in size. I saw the my zoomScale is not updating and still in 1.0 scale. Then I update my zoomScale after the animation but the problem is the zoom out UIView will automatically go to the top of the screen. Can I update this zoomScale property of UIScrollView?
Thanks.
Did you implement viewForZoomingInScrollView function ?
This function of your scroll view delegate is called when you change the zoomScale. It returns the view that must be rescaled when the scale of your scrollview is changed.
In general you just return the scrollView given in parameters :
- (UIView *)viewForZoomingInScrollView:(UIScrollView *)scrollView; {
return scrollView.childView;
}
Don't forget to set a delegate to your scrollview : yourScrollView.delegate = self;
