Adding UIScrollView to view and sending it to the back - iphone

I have added few UI components using Storyboard (UILabel, UIImageView). I am trying to put UIScrollView in this view, below all other elements:
Here is my code right at the end of -viewWillAppear method (code from my View Controller):
UIScrollView *scroll = [[UIScrollView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 480)];
scroll.contentSize = CGSizeMake(320, 480);
scroll.showsVerticalScrollIndicator = YES;
[self.view addSubview:scroll];
[self.view sendSubviewToBack:scroll];
The reason why I need a UIScrollView is large amount of text in detailsLabel - I'm attaching code I use for handling this label programatically:
detailsLabel.text = #"Some long text taken from databse";
[detailsLabel sizeToFit];
detailsLabel.numberOfLines = 0;
detailsLabel.lineBreakMode = UILineBreakModeWordWrap;
What I am doing wrong? How do I put UIScrollView below all other elements of my main view?

Try this:
UIScrollView *scroll = [[UIScrollView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 480)];
scroll.contentSize = CGSizeMake(320, 480);
scroll.showsVerticalScrollIndicator = YES;
[self.view insertSubview:scroll atIndex:0];
...
[self.view insertSubview:detailsLabel atIndex:1];

Put your code in ViewDidLoad . Then add the labels after you have added the UIScrollView to the self.View in the ViewDidLoad itself. So by default the UIScrollView would be added on the self.View and then your label. Now you can either add the label on the scrollview or onto the self.view .

I've followed the instructions in this answer and it worked great: I've changed the Custom Class in Identity Inspector from UIView to UIScrollView and added this line to my -viewDidLoad in the View Controller file:
[(UIScrollView *)self.view setContentSize:CGSizeMake(320, 700)];

Option One:
Declare detailsLabel in .h:
IBOutlet UILabel * detailsLabel; // MAP IT WITH NIB or STORYBOARD
give it property and Synthesise in .m.
here in viewDidLoad declare:
UIScrollView *scroll = [[UIScrollView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 480)];
scroll.contentSize = CGSizeMake(320, 480);
scroll.showsVerticalScrollIndicator = YES;
[self.view addSubview:scroll];
[self.view sendSubviewToBack:scroll];
[scroll addSubview:detailsLabel];
// IT SHOULD WORK.
Option two:
If you have large amount of text to display, then you can also use UITextView, it has inbuilt scrollview. And you can also set its text edit property.

UIActivityIndicatorView in an UIScrollview

I have a full screen UIScrollView to display my image. An UIActivityIndicatorView is added to the UIScrollView, it spinning well, but how could i make it always spinning in the middle of the screen while I am scrolling, zooming, rotating?
If you add the UIActivityIndicatorView directly to the scroll view it will scroll with the scroll view. But, if you add it to the parent of the scroll view it will remain where it was placed. So, the solution is to add it to the parent of the scroll view.
Notes:
I would recommend having a UIViewController in your window, and then adding these both to the UIViewController.
See the discussion here about adding views directly to your window:
View Controller being sent a message even though it has been deallocated
In ur .h file
UIView *primaryImage;
UIView *secondaryImage;
UIActivityIndicatorView *indicator;
In ur .m file
-(void)indicatorView
{
primaryImage = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,320,480)];
primaryImage.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
primaryImage.alpha =0.5;
//[self.view.superview insertSubview:primaryImage aboveSubview:self.view.superview];
//[theTableView addSubview:primaryImage];
[self.view addSubview:primaryImage];
secondaryImage = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(127.50,215,65,50)];
secondaryImage.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
secondaryImage.alpha = 0.9;
secondaryImage.layer.cornerRadius = 12;
[primaryImage addSubview:secondaryImage];
indicator = [[UIActivityIndicatorView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(30, 25, 25, 25)];
indicator.center = CGPointMake(32, 25);
//[indicator hidesWhenStopped];
[indicator startAnimating];
[secondaryImage addSubview:indicator];
}
-(void)dismissCoverImageView {
[indicator stopAnimating];
[indicator removeFromSuperview];
[secondaryImage removeFromSuperview];
[primaryImage removeFromSuperview];
}
and after that you can call [self indicatorView];
and [self dismissCoverImageView];
Define the UIScrollViewDelegate of your UIScrollView. And in the delegate method –(void)scrollViewDidScroll:(UIScrollView *)scrollView change the frame of UIActivityIndicator object.

adding UIView to UIViewController

I need to add a Button or a label to a UIView and add it to my UIViewController. I did the following but it only crashed the program.
UIView *myview = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(100, 100, 0, 300)] ;
[myview addSubview:myButton];
[self.view addSubview:myView];
The code crashes. Why is that?
You set your myview's width to 0.
You sure you created "myButton"?
You create myview but you add my*V*iew as subview. Is there any warning?
The first step you need to take is:
Make Sure you have allocated & initialized UIButton object with "initWithFrame" method.
provide a width to your UIView in "initWithframe" method, So that it can be seen.
Now use your [self.view addSubview:myView];
Please let me know if it is useful.
Use:
//Assuming that myview should have the size of the main view:
UIView *myview = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:self.view.bounds];
[myview addSubview:myButton]; //Whatever ...
[self.view addSubview:myview]; //There was a typo in this line
If this code block is in the init or loadView of viewcontroller, this will crash.
Make sure you have created a view for view controller in this case before adding views to self.view
UIView *aView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] applicationFrame]];
self.view = aView;
[aView release];
myButton = [[UIButton alloc] init....
.....
UIView *myView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(100, 100, 0, 300)] ;
[myView addSubview:myButton];
[self.view addSubview:myView];
Try updating the view with the following:
[myview setNeedsDisplay];
and remove the second call to addSubView (which is probably causing the crash):
[self.view addSubview:myView];

The right way to implement loadView?

I have a question regarding the implementation of loadView:
Right now, I have it like this:
- (void)loadView
{
image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"plan.gif"];
scrollView=[[UIScrollView alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] applicationFrame]];
imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:
CGRectMake(0, 0,scrollView.frame.size.width + 40, scrollView.frame.size.height)];
imageView.image = image;
[imageView setContentMode:UIViewContentModeCenter];
scrollView.contentSize = image.size;
scrollView.maximumZoomScale = 3.0;
scrollView.bounces = NO;
scrollView.delegate = self;
// do any further configuration to the scroll view
// add a view, or views, as a subview of the scroll view.
[scrollView addSubview:imageView];
// release scrollView as self.view retains it
self.view=scrollView;
[scrollView release];
}
I suppose some of it should be in viewDidLoad:?
Thanks in advance.
This seems fine to me.
viewDidLoad is normally used as your hook after getting a view returned from IB. In this case you are essentially just doing the work of IB in code (setting up the view heirachy and configuring it).
Therefore in this case I think splitting out the logic may be superfluous unless it makes your code more readable.

Dynamically adding a scroll view above the view iphone

I have created a UIView through code and want to add some images and description on that view.For that purpose i wished to add a scroll view so that we can user can scroll down to see the images and description.Can anyone help me how to add a scroll view above a UIView through code.Thanks in advance.
Hi try this:-
UIScrollView *scrollView = [[UIScrollView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 460)];
scrollView.backgroundColor=[UIColor clearColor];
scrollView.showsHorizontalScrollIndicator = NO;
[scrollView setDelegate:self];
[scrollView setShowsVerticalScrollIndicator:NO];
[scrollView setShowsHorizontalScrollIndicator:NO];
[[self view] addSubview:scrollView];
Now set the content size of scroll view:-
scrollView.contentSize = CGSizeMake(320, 600);//put values according to your requirements.
UIScrollView *newView = [[UIScrollView alloc] initWithFrame:scrollFrame];
[newView setAutoresizingMask:UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth|UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight];
[newView setDelegate:self];
[newView setBackgroundColor:backgroundColor];
[newView setPagingEnabled:YES];
[newView setShowsVerticalScrollIndicator:NO];
[newView setShowsHorizontalScrollIndicator:NO];
[[self view] addSubview:newView];
you can set Frame In place of scrollFrame.
cheers
Actually you probably don't want to create a UIView, you should create a UIScrollView then add the images and that as subviews of the UIScrollView. Then you'll have everything scrolling. You'll then set up the UIScrollView the way you want it to be.

How can I use UIScrollView for overlapped images iphone

Hi, I have a big image and small image over it at a specific location...
I added them all under ScrollView, but it didn't work properly?
I want to zoom in, all together each in its place
Here is my code:
myScrollView.contentSize = CGSizeMake(imageView.frame.size.width, imageView.frame.size.height);
myScrollView.maximumZoomScale = 3.0;
myScrollView.minimumZoomScale = 1.0;
myScrollView.clipsToBounds = YES;
myScrollView.delegate = self;
[myScrollView addSubview:imageView];
thanks
Hi, mackworth; I did it, but if I didn't maximize the image, I can't move the scroll view anywhere, but if I zoomed it, I can see the rest.. I don't know why I tried changing it, but it work. Can you please look at the following code?
- (void)viewDidLoad{
[super viewDidLoad];
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"ucd.png"];
//creating a view for UCD image
ucdView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:image];
//setting the frame for the ucdView as the same size of ucd image
[ucdView setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, image.size.width, image.size.height)];
//for the red pin to display in specific loc
UIImageView *Health = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"redPin.png"]];
[Health setCenter:CGPointMake(310,135)];
//adding helathView to ucdview
[ucdView addSubview:Health];
//everything for scroll view
UIScrollView *scrollView = [[UIScrollView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, ucdView.frame.size.width, ucdView.frame.size.height)];
[scrollView setMinimumZoomScale:1.0];
[scrollView setMaximumZoomScale:3.0];
scrollView.clipsToBounds = YES;
[scrollView setContentSize:CGSizeMake(image.size.width, image.size.height)];
[scrollView setDelegate:self];
[scrollView addSubview:ucdView];//adding ucd view to scroll view
[self.view addSubview:scrollView]; // adding scrollview to self.view main view
}
- (UIView *)viewForZoomingInScrollView:(UIScrollView *)scrollView {//apply zooming for scrollview
return scrollView;
}
Did you implement:
- (UIView *)viewForZoomingInScrollView:(UIScrollView *)scrollView {
return self.imageView;
}
Also, you know that by setting the scrollView's contentSize to your imageSize, it can't grow any bigger than that, right? It'll zoom in place, cropping the outer pixels accordingly. As an aside, if that is your plan, why not just set it directly?
myScrollView.contentSize = imageView.frame.size;
=====Further answer, responding to additional source
Well, the main thing I notice is that you need to return the imageView ucdView in viewForZoomingInScrollView, not the scrollView. It looks like you already created ucdView as a property (so that it lives as long as your view does), but just in case...
1) In your .h file:
UIImageView * ucdView;
#property (nonatomic, retain) UIImageView * ucdView;
2) In your .m file;
#synthesize ucdView;
3) change your line:
ucdView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:image];
to just
self.ucdView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:image];
4) change the line
return scrollView
to:
return self.ucdView;
5) Add the following to your dealloc routine:
self.ucdView = nil;
Also, did you add <UIScrollViewDelegate> protocol to your ViewController definition (in .h file)?
Finally, you have a leak of scrollview and Health; add [scrollView release]; and [Health release] at end of viewDidLoad
