Is it possible to create a viewcontroller that could handle 5 views?
And is it possible to implement a different button on every view to make a transition to root view?
So my idea of the app is when I load it it takes me to main window, and on that window there will be 5 button that will take me to the 5 views, and after I'm in that view, among other buttons there will be just one button that will take me only to the MainView.
Let's say that some of those 5 views will be Options, Score, Statistics, something like that.
If it is possible to make an app like that using so much views, is it a good approach?
This would be possible, but from what you describe, it does not sound like a good idea. I would suggest instead making a Tab Bar app, and having a separate view controller for each of your 5 views.
If you do not want to make a tab bar app, you can certainly do what you describe, but I would recommend having a separate view controller instance for each view. You could have your 5 buttons in your main view, and each button could push a modal view with no animation. You could then add whatever transition animation you want. In your modal view, you could have a button that pops the modal view.
In your main view controller, you would do this:
- (IBAction)button1Click {
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:0.5];
[UIView setAnimationTransition:UIViewAnimationTransitionCurlUp forView:self.view cache:YES];
UIViewController *newController = [[UIViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"View1" bundle:nil];
[self presentModalViewController:newController animated:NO];
[newController release];
[UIView commitAnimations];
}
And in your view 1 controller:
- (IBAction)backToMainClick {
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:0.5];
[UIView setAnimationTransition:UIViewAnimationTransitionCurlDown forView:self.view cache:YES];
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:NO];
[UIView commitAnimations];
}

I need to somehow check in the code if by clicking a button (doing an action), it is getting the view controller's view toggled
I am using
if ([currentViewController.view respondsToSelector:#selector(setAnimationTransition:forView:cache:)])
but this one doesn't look like working
Usually this code used to get the view toggled
[UIView beginAnimations:Nil context:NULL];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:1.0];
[UIView setAnimationTransition:UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromLeft forView:self cache:YES];
[mainView removeFromSuperview];
[self addSubview:infoView];
[UIView commitAnimations];
It looks like you're having the view controller's view manage the flipping. I'm sure that can work, but it's more common to let the view controller manage that sort of thing. If you do that, then the view controller will know when the view has been flipped, because it did the flipping.
If you're going to stick with having the view controller's view manage the transition, then you'll have to have the view controller ask its view about the state of the interface. From your view controller, you'd do something like:
BOOL flipped = [self.view isInterfaceFlipped];
I need some help with some basic transition work. I think I don't understand this conceptually.
I load a main view which loads a 'log in screen' in its viewDidLoad.
The 'log in screen' is a custom xib + custom view controller.
It is loaded in the following way:
ISSplashScreenViewController* splashScreenController = [[ISSplashScreenViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"ISSplashScreen" bundle:nil];
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:nil];
[UIView setAnimationTransition:UIViewAnimationTransitionCurlUp forView:splashScreenController.view cache:YES];
[UIView setAnimationDuration: 1.5];
[splashScreenController viewWillAppear:YES];
[self.view addSubview:splashScreenController.view];
[splashScreenController viewDidAppear:YES];
[UIView commitAnimations];
All I can see is the status bar animating (and I think this is because it is hidden in the main window but I call for it in the log in screen's viewDidLoad).
The body of the log in screen 'just appears'.
I was wondering if someone could explain why this isn't working and perhaps suggest what i could do to make it work. I think I have to remove the main view from the application's sub views and then load the log in view.
I tried this also, but it doesnt work. The main view just sits there.
[splashScreenController viewWillAppear:YES];
[self.view.superview addSubview:splashScreenController.view];
[self.view.superview bringSubviewToFront:splashScreenController.view];
[self.view removeFromSuperview];
[splashScreenController viewDidAppear:YES];
Any help is much appreciated,
Thanks
Try calling -setAnimationTransition:forView:cache: with self.view rather than the splash-screen controller’s view.
I want to slide a UITableVIew into a view (NOT by pushing the view on top of Navigation Controller) on click of a button and then hide it back by sliding , on clicking of the same button.
I want the tableView to slide inside a present view.
You animate the frame property of the table view to move it off screen or back onto screen.
Here is some sample code that moves a table view off screen and moves another on screen in its place:
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:nil];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:kSlideTableDuration];
[UIView setAnimationCurve:UIViewAnimationCurveEaseOut];
[UIView setAnimationDelegate:self];
[UIView setAnimationDidStopSelector:#selector(tableAnimationDidStop:finished:context:)];
self.tableView1.frame = offScreen;
self.tableView2.frame = onScreen;
[UIView commitAnimations];
You can read about animation blocks like this in the UIView documentation.
Check out the documentation of UINavigationController. To implement you would do something similar to this:
iPhoneCustomViewController *newView = [[iPhoneCustomViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"iPhoneCustomViewController" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:newView animated:YES];
[newView release];
Then, when your done with the CustomViewController do:
[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
You get the nice slide animations for free if you use a UINavigationController. It will take care of sliding views in (push them on the navigation controller stack) and sliding them out (pop them off the navigation controller stack).
I have a small problem with UINavigationController animation between two view.
My application build more than two view,
first view contains login information, second view contains root menu, last view contains sample data and so on..
My MainWindow.xib contains a UINavigationController component which is contains all navigation structure.
When my login view loaded, i use this lines of code
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {
[self.navigationController setNavigationBarHidden:YES animated:NO];
}
for hide UINavugationConttoller (I don't need to show to user navigation bar during the login.)
After that when the user execute the login submit button on the login view
i use this code for push the RootmenuView to the UINavigationController's stack.
RootMenuController *rootMenuController = [[RootMenuController alloc] initWithNibName:#"RootMenuController" bundle:0];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:rootMenuController animated:NO];
[rootMenuController release];
It's working very well. And when the Rootmenuview loaded user have to show the navigation bar then i'm showing the UINavigation's tool bar with this code
- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated {
[self.navigationController setNavigationBarHidden:NO animated:YES];
}
But i don't like the default animation transitions of UINavigationController then i changed above code with below
[UIView beginAnimations:#"View Flip" context:nil];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:0.50];
[UIView setAnimationCurve:UIViewAnimationCurveEaseInOut];
[UIView setAnimationTransition:
UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromRight
forView:self.navigationController.view cache:YES];
RootMenuController *rootMenuController = [[RootMenuController alloc] initWithNibName:#"RootMenuController" bundle:0];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:rootMenuController animated:NO];
[UIView commitAnimations];
[rootMenuController release];
It's working too but UINavigationController flickering during between two view naimation transition.
I didn't solve this problem.
Any suggestions ?
Thank you
Have you tried [setAnimationTransition:forView:cache:NO]? I got some odd behavior similar to yours when I used to mess around with UIView animations and used caching.
Have a simple iPhone app with a single UIViewController and two Views in one xib.
the first view is very simple with a button and upon button press the second more complex view is loaded via setting the view property on the controller.
what I would like is to animate the view swap (flip the views).
The samples I have seen all require having multiple view controllers and building a hierachy, but that would be overkill in this case, any suggestions?
Make sure you declare IBOutlets for the two views in your view controller I am assuming that in your xib you have a 'container view' that occupies the whole screen, and two views of the same size that you add to this contatiner (one for each side of your 'flip'):
//Inside your .h:
IBOutlet UIView *firstView;
IBOutlet UIView *secondView;
Make sure on initial load you have the firstView show up:
-(void) viewDidLoad {
NSAssert(firstView && seconView, #"Whoops: Are first View and Second View Wired in IB?");
[self.view addSubview: firstView]; //Lets make sure that the first view is shown
[secondView removeFromSuperview]; //Lets make sure that the second View is not shown at first
}
Then you can wire up a button like this, make sure the button is wired to this metod in IB:
-(IBAction) flipButtonPressed:(id) sender {
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:0.5];
if ([firstView superview]) {
[UIView setAnimationTransition:UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromLeft forView:self.view cache:YES];
[firstView removeFromSuperview];
[self.view addSubview:secondView];
}
else if ([secondView superview]) {
[UIView setAnimationTransition:UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromRight forView:self.view cache:YES];
[secondView removeFromSuperview];
[self.view addSubview:firstView];
}
[UIView commitAnimations];
}
