iPhone: How to scroll random height UIView in ScrollView? - iphone

Question

I have ScrollView and UIView created in interface builder (but can as well be code). I want to add random amount of thumbnails (subviews) to UIView and be able to scroll it up-down if there are more than the screen can take. Hovewer, I can't get ScrollView to scroll.
Where and how do I resize UIView and add it as a subview of ScrollView?
When do I set contentSize of scrollView to make it expand along with uiview? I tried creating fixed large contentSize but didn't work as well.
What properties in IB I might need to change to make it work?
I'd like to make the images in uiview clickable in next step.
I guess I could also make both view in code without IB. Just somehow can't get it to work.
Thanks in advance !

Answer 1

//declare base view
UIViewController *viewForLoadForm =[[UIViewController alloc] init];
viewForLoadForm.view.frame=CGRectMake(0, 0,screenSize.size.width,screenSize.size.height);
viewForLoadForm.view.backgroundColor=[UIColor blackColor];
[Manview.view addSubview:viewForLoadForm];
//declare scrollview and add to base view
UIScrollView *scrollview=[[UIScrollView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, screenSize.size.width,screenSize.size.height)];
scrollview.indicatorStyle=UIScrollViewIndicatorStyleBlack;
[scrollview setContentSize:CGSizeMake(screenSize.size.width,screenSize.size.height)];
scrollview.clipsToBounds = NO;
scrollview.scrollEnabled = YES;
scrollview.pagingEnabled = NO; scrollview.showsVerticalScrollIndicator =NO;
scrollview.alwaysBounceVertical= YES;
[viewForLoadForm.view addSubview:scrollview];
//Add your controls to scrollview that s image view or something which is needed to display
.........your control's code (textbox,imageview etc)
//took last control's y postion and set your K
float k=Last control's y position +100;(some thing which ll be decide scroll size)
// reassign the scrollview height
[scrollview setContentSize:CGSizeMake(screenSize.size.width,k)];
use above line for scroll view size adjustment at run time.
screenSize.size.width is 320 here

code snippet,
- (void) createThumbView
{
float y_axis = Set y axis;
int x = 0;
int totalImgs = total images;
int tempCnt = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < totalImgs;)
{
float x_axis = set x axis;
int loopCount = 0;
if (totalImgs - tempCnt >= (no of images in row))
{
loopCount = (no of images in row);
}
else
{
loopCount = totalImgs % (no of images in row);
}
for (int j = 0; j < loopCount; j++)
{
MasksData *mData = [masksList objectAtIndex:x];
UIButton *btn = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
btn.frame = CGRectMake(x_axis, y_axis, width, height);
[btn setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#.png",mData.bgImage]] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
btn.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
btn.tag = x;
[scroll View addSubview:btn];
//photoCount++;
x_axis += width + some space;
tempCnt++;
i++;
x++;
}
y_axis += height + some space;
scroll View.contentSize = CGSizeMake(320.0, y_axis);
}
}
