I have a UIWebView in UINavigationController.
I have a TableView, When the clicks cell of the table,
it goes to WebView, but when user clicks textfield in webview,
keyboard will does not show up.
Why does not show up?
Which part of code is required?
This code is part of the transition to UIWebView below.
UIViewController *wvc = [[UIViewController alloc] init];
UIWebView *uiWebView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame: CGRectMake(0,0,320,480)];
[uiWebView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://sample/form.html"]]];
[wvc.view addSubview: uiWebView];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:wvc animated:YES];
Any help is greatly appreciated.
This happens when the window containing the web view isn't the key window. This can happen if you create more than one UIWindow in your app and forget to return the key window status to your main window. Sending -makeKeyWindow or -makeKeyAndVisible to your main window (the one in your MainWindow nib or created by your app delegate) fixes this.

I have an activity view that I have added in AppDelegate class to tap bar:
[self.mainTabBar.view addSubview: spinner];
When there are connection problems it is visible in each view controller and is spinning.
There is some button at certain view controller, makes to present some modal view controller.
That modal view controller overlaps the spinner. How to make that spinner always be on top of all views or at least on top of that modal view controller?
I tried to make such a thing in view controller that presents modal view controller:
[self presentModalViewController:selectionViewController animated:YES];
[self.view bringSubviewToFront:[self.tabBarController.view viewWithTag:15]];
Not works.
Add the view to the main window.
UIWindow* mainWindow = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow];
[mainWindow addSubview: spinner];
While phix23's answer is correct, here is a more complete example:
//The view you want to present
UIViewController *viewControllerYouWantToPresentOnTop = [[UIViewController alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
//Create transparent host view for presenting the above view
UIWindow* mainWindow = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow];
UIViewController *viewControllerForPresentation = [[UIViewController alloc] init];
[[viewControllerForPresentation view] setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
[[viewControllerForPresentation view] setOpaque:FALSE];
[mainWindow addSubview:[viewControllerForPresentation view]];
//Make your transparent view controller present your actual view controller
[viewControllerForPresentation presentViewController:viewControllerYouWantToPresentOnTop animated:TRUE];
Remember to clean up after yourself when you don't need these any longer.
This code can be used from anywhere in your app, even a library :)
An app normally displays its content within a single window throughout its life.
But there are situations where an extra window may be used to add content on top of everything else. Apple ensures UIAlertView always stays on top by adding it in a separate window.
UIView *contentView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:contentFrame];
contentView.backgroundColor = [UIColor greenColor];
UIWindow *window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(x,y,contentFrame.size.width, contentFrame.size.height)];
window.windowLevel = UIWindowLevelAlert;
[window addSubview:contentView];
[window makeKeyAndVisible];
Show and hide your window by setting window.hidden = Yes or No as needed.
This will always show your contentView on top of everything else in the app.
The modal controller is in a completely different layer, you cannot make any subview of the presenting controller to overlap it.
Use a UIAlertView with a spinner inside. The alerts are displayed in a layer which overlaps even modal controllers.
Place the view to the keyWindow, as suggested above. You might also need to set Presentation style of the modal view as Current Context, otherwise, it can still pop on top
I would like to have a UISegmentedControl embedded in a PopoverController, similar to what is described in this SO question : UISegmentedControl embedded in a UINavigationBar/Item
The difference is that I have a different view controller for each view that I want to show in the popover, depending on the selected index on the Segmented Control. I'm not sure how I would go about doing this. Whenever I try to push a new view on top of the root view controller, the UISegmentedControl disappears. I would just like to switch between the two viewcontrollers, while keeping the UISegmentedControl visible. Is this even possible?
Thanks in advance!
If its a different viewController for each one of the segments on the segmentBar, you'll have to use a container viewController that adds the views of each of the viewController as a subview on itself or sets its view to that of the viewController's view. For example:
UIViewController* containerController = [[[UIViewController alloc] init] autorelease];
//Inside the viewDidLoad of the the ContainerController class, do the following:
//Initialize all three viewControllers
UIViewController* test1 = [[[UIViewController alloc] init] autorelease];
UIViewController* test1 = [[[UIViewController alloc] init] autorelease];
UIViewController* test1 = [[[UIViewController alloc] init] autorelease];
//set up the segment and add it to the container's navBar's title view.
[segmentedControl addTarget:self action:#selector(segmentValueChanged:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
- (void)segmentValueChanged:(id)sender
{
//if first tab selected
[self.view removeAllSubviews];
[self.view addSubview:test1.view];
//if second tab selected
[self.view removeAllSubviews];
[self.view addSubview:test2.view];
//if third tab selected
[self.view removeAllSubviews];
[self.view addSubview:test3.view];
}
Instead of adding it as a subView, you might be able to just set self.view = test1.view. Obviously, you would use the container view to initialize the navController and put that navController inside the popover. Hope this helps!
If you are using presentModalViewController method to show your new view controller on the screen, it will always cover the entire screen and what ever is underneath it. That's just how it works.
As per docs:
On iPhone and iPod touch devices, the view of modalViewController is
always presented full screen. On iPad, the presentation depends on the
value in the modalPresentationStyle property.
The way to do it and still being able to control how the view controller is positioned is to create your own presentation method.
I know the SDK documentation says
Taps outside of the popover’s contents automatically dismiss the popover.
But I'm sure the smart people here found a way :)
maybe I should overwrite the popover dismiss function?
Thanks
EDIT:
I tried using the passthroughViews as was suggested here, and it works perfectly. Here's the code for whoever needs it - in this example, I put self.view in the array, which means that where ever outside the button where the popover was originated, nothing dismiss the popover.
popoverController.passthroughViews = [[[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:self.view, nil] autorelease];
You need to set the passthroughViews property. From the documentation:
An array of views that the user can interact with while the popover is visible.
#property (nonatomic, copy) NSArray *passthroughViews
When a popover is active, interactions with other views are normally disabled until the popover is dismissed. Assigning an array of views to this property allows taps outside of the popover to be handled by the corresponding views.
Set passthroughViews to an array of view(s) that you want to handle the touch event instead of just dismissing the popover.
There is a very simple and legit solution. In the view controller that presents your UIPopoverController, conform to the UIPopoverControllerDelegate protocol and implement the following delegate method. I just tested this and it does prevent popover to dismiss.
- (BOOL)popoverControllerShouldDismissPopover:(UIPopoverController *)popoverController
{
return NO;
}
Just make sure that you have set the delegate of your popover controller to the view controller that implements this.
You can dismiss the popover by using [popoverController dismissPopoverAnimated:NO]; method.
The accepted answer does not really answer the question, "is there a way NOT to have the popover dismissed when pressing outside it?", imo. It does give a possible view but could require hackish access to all parent views and determining what views are on the screen etc. The question could be rephrased as, "how do I make a popover view modal?"
You would do this like so, with a done button to close the popover:
UIViewController* vc = [[[UIViewController alloc] init] autorelease];
UIBarButtonItem* doneButton = [[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"Done"] style:UIBarButtonItemStyleDone target:self action:#selector(processDoneAction)] autorelease];
[vc.navigationItem setLeftBarButtonItem:doneButton];
vc.modalInPopover = YES;
//If you want full screen:
vc.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationFullScreen;
vc.wantsFullScreenLayout = YES;
UINavigationController* navC = [[[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:vc] autorelease];
UIView* view = create your view
vc.view = view;
UIPopoverController* pc = [[[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:navC] autorelease];
pc.delegate = self;
self.popoverController = pc;
Then you'll in your processDoneAction method you will need to dismiss the popover. Other considerations would be dismissing and redisplaying on device orientation changes, but I will leave that to another exercise as that has been answered previously on stackoverflow.
So, I'm having some issues with my implementation of the Three20 TTLauncherView. I am using their code, not a fork (although I have heard of rodmaz's version), and I can't get it to work properly. This is what my app looks like.
alt text http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/8792/screenshot20100715at409.png
I removed the icon image, that's not the issue. The issue is, at the top there is no Navigation bar at all, and I believe also causes the white strip at the bottom, which appears to have the same dimensions as a Nav Bar. I've spent quite a while looking through their code and can't figure this out at all. It looks like their Navigation bar (as seen in their Catalog example app) stems from the TTTableViewController, or something further up. However, my app starts like the Facebook app does, not into a table, but into the TTLauncherView. So... how do I get the Navigation bar into my TTLauncher view, if it goes "App Delegate -> TTLauncherView Subclass"
Thanks for your help!
Edit:
Added the code I used. I put this in my app delegate, wrapping my first view with the UINavigation Controller, and it worked just as I wanted!
MainViewController *aController = [[MainViewController alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil]; //my Main view
self.mainViewController = aController;
[aController release]; //release for Memory Management
self.mainViewController.view.frame = [UIScreen mainScreen].applicationFrame;
UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] init];
[navigationController pushViewController:self.mainViewController animated:NO]; //Gets the main view on the screen
[window addSubview:navigationController.view];
You simply wrap the view with a navigation bar before you push the new view. As an example, here is a snippet of my code where I present a modal view controller with a navigation bar.
- (IBAction) showNewNavView: (id) sender
{
// Present it as a modal view and wrap the controller in a navigation controller to provide a navigation bar for the Edit and Save buttons
ModalViewController *addController = [[ModalViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"ModalViewController" bundle:nil];
addController.delegate = self;
UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:addController];
navigationController.navigationBar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlackTranslucent;
[self presentModalViewController:navigationController animated:YES];
[navigationController release];
[addController release];
}
If you want to add any buttons or set the title of it, you need to do that in the viewDidLoad method of the view that you are pushing (i.e. your TTLauncher view)
I've got a button on a view. When I click on it, it should load another view, one with a novigation controller. So far I've got this, the button calls this method:
-(IBAction)loadOptionsView:(id)sender {
if (self.optionsRootController == nil) {
//optionsRootController is declared as: UINavigationController *optionsRootController;
optionsRootController = [[UINavigationController alloc] init];
//Options is a UIViewController
Options *myOptions = [[Options alloc] initWithNibName:#"OptionsMenu" bundle:nil];
[optionsRootController pushViewController:myOptions animated:NO];
[myOptions release];
}
[self.view addSubview:optionsRootController.view];
}
What happens when I click the button is that it loads the xib file OptionsMenu on top of the current screen, but there's a gap at the top of the size of the status bar, so I can see the view below. Any help? What's the right method to load a new view that contains a navigation controller?
Thank you all!
I solved this issue by placing after:
[optionsRootController pushViewController:myOptions animated:NO];
this line:
[optionsRootController.view setFrame: [self.view bounds]];
Nice and easy!
I think UINavigationController's designated initializer is
- (id) initWithRootController:(UIViewController *)rootController
So your code above would be better expressed as
//optionsRootController is declared as: UINavigationController *optionsRootController;
//Options is a UIViewController
Options *myOptions = [[Options alloc] initWithNibName:#"OptionsMenu" bundle:nil];
optionsRootController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootController: myOptions];
[myOptions release];
Is the VIew in your nib the right size for the whole screen? Try turning off the simulated status bar in IB.
