hi i am new to iphone. what i need is i want to display an image for example balloon. when ever i click the button the balloon automatically start moveing up vertically from bottom of the simulator to top of the simulator.While it reaches top of the simulator automatically it moves towards down.How can i done this.please post any relevant code or link.Thank you in Advance.
Have a look at this example from Apple you just need to recognize the first touch on the balloon and then make it move wherever you want (by using an animation or manually redrawing the UIImageView representing the balloon each time using a NSTimer)

I have a screen in Corona to display a puzzle, and once user guess the correct answer, I'm going to display a simple pop up on the screen to do the congratulation a long with close button to dismiss the popup, now I need for a simple work around to disable any control or behaviour on the original screen while displaying the popup, how can I do that?
I think you need to do this by stop or pause transitions, timers and animations etc. before you go to scene with pop up.
You can add transparent rectangle from transparent image file (not just rectangle, as it will not be touchable).
Size of this rectangle must be the size of all screen.
Position of rectangle - under your popup (or better make it as part of your popup).
Add listeners to this rectangle on touch and tap that will just return false - so it will prevent any clicks under it.
That will save you from pausing / disabling buttons, that you don't want to disable/pause.
I've been searching and searching on how apple makes the dragging motion on the lock screen to open the camera so clean. I'm trying to do a similar thing with an app where you drag from the bottom up to reveal a menu, but i cant quite get it right. Anyone know how to, or of any tutorials that show how to do this? Thanks in advance!
To follow up what's been mentioned by Hejazi I believe you can achieve this in 3 steps:
create a background rectangle with some corner radius (this is a property of CGRect).
create a top view, corresponding to the part you want to be able to slide. Attach a pan gesture to this view so you will be able to handle the animation for this view.
for the text part being highlighted I think you need another two views: I will apply a mask corresponding to the text to a view so you get some transparency only for the letters of your text and animate a white round view behind it.
I have an arrow button that I want to keep small but I want the touch area around it to be bigger.
I used the answer from the post Here but it made my button larger.
The problem is that the picture of the button is larger than the size it is presented in. But I thought there must be a way to do it without editing it or adding a transparent button.
Use a custom button with an image with mode "center"(which means that it doesn't resize with the button size and stays always in the center). Then you can make the button as big as you want and the button image always stays in the middle with the same size.
You should be able to do it by extending the button class and overriding the hitTest method. In your version of this method you can expand the area checked to include a buffer area and return the button if the touch happens within it.
A transparent button behind this button would also work and just point that to the method... I suppose you could go about this multiple ways. One should prefer the option that is simplest with the least overhead.
What would be the best way to accomplish the home screen folder roll-open effect with views in Objective C?
I tried something similar to what MaxFish has described. You can check it here iOS Open Folder Animation Sample Code
If you take a look at the images inside the Springboard.app in your iPhone in "/System/Library/CoreServices" you can have an idea of how the animation works.
A simple version of the effect can be done this way:
Take a screenshot of the screen you want to "cut" and save it in an image
Create two imageviews each of which has a part of the screenshot (e.g. the first has the first upper part of the image as background, the second the rest), you could alternative use the same background image for both views, you have only to play with content alignments.
Place the two views on the original screen in the exact position to make them seem like one entire image perfectly aligned with the original screen.
Create a view (folder content) with its own background and whatever you want to put inside, place it at the same Y of the bottom imageview but beneath it.
Make the bottom image view scroll down for the entire size of the content view, you will see the folder content appear.
iOS version put on the sliding images some nice borders and applies fade effect which make the overall animation really cool. You can sure try and make it nice looking.
Hope this helps
I have a graphic that is 3 times the width of an iphone landscape view.
I am trying to auto scroll it so that it appears that it is moving sideways, without using the touchscreen scrolling method.
My aim is to maybe have a button you can press and it moves it left or right across the screen like an animation.
I can deal with everything else but am having trouble finding a solution.
Any example code would be appreciated or even any info on whether it is possible or not.
Thanks. Dave
You can wrap a UIView in an animation block. The animation sweeps the origin value in its frame property from one point to another, over a set period of time.
