identifying swipe in UIScrollview? - iphone

i want to use UIScrollview with one imageview.if i swipe image, next image must be shown.how can i identify horizontal vertical swipe ...how can i detect event?what i have to do in
scrollViewDidScroll method.if i add touch event methods, it did not work? any help?
i dont want to use PageControl....can i include Touch Event on UIScrollview?

You can use the pagingEnabled property to support this kind of swiping. You set this property, and the scrollview will scroll horizontally by increments of its own width. So if the scrollview is 480 pixels in width, you just add the views at x locations of 0, 480, 960, etc. and the scrollview will handle the rest for you.
If you need to swap in new images dynamically or want to lazy load them, you can do this by detecting when the scrollview has finished scrolling using the standard delegate methods. Then you just update the adjacent views accordingly.
There is a good sample project provided by Apple here: PageControl

how to drag an uiimage from scrollview to another uiimageview in iphone sdk

In My Application,i am having one scrollVIew containing multiple images.
and out of the scrollview i have one uiimageview.
i want to Drag any image from ScrollView and drop it on uiimageview which is out of the scrollview.
is it possible?
help And suggestions are appreciated
Thanks in advance.
gamozzii's reply is close to what you need to do, but there's one problem. An UIScrollView will eat touches, so tapping on an image will have no effect.
As a result you will have to subclass the UIScrollView
I have written a small functional app to illustrate dragging the image from a scroll view into an image view. You can download the project here.
Yes this should be possible, you will need to implement the touch/drag events directly.
Check out the touchesBegan, touchesMoved etc. delegate methods in UIResponder.
One approach would be to subclass imageview and implement touchesBegan, touchesMoved in it, and use this imageview subclass to display your images in the scroll view.
On the touchesBegan create a new image view and add it to the outer view and set its image to be the same as the one in the scroll view. You need to overlay it directly over your source image in the scroll view so adjust its frame origin to be relative to the outer view you will need to use the scrollview origin and also the content view size and offset of the source image view inside the content view in order to recalculate the new origin in the outer view.
Then on the touches moved, simply readjust the frame of this image in accordance with the coordinates from the touches moved so that the image follows the touch.
Do a boundary check against the frame of your target imageview - once the user drags it into this boundary, make that target imageviews image the same as the image in the view being dragged and remove the dragged image from the containing view and release it.
In case you're still interested in another solution (and for other users of course):
I did implement that behaviour before just like gamozzii recommended.
I set canCancelContentTouches = NO on the UIScrollView to make sure the subviews handle there touches on their own. If a subview (in your case an image) was touched, i moved the view out of the scrollview onto the superview and started tracking it's dragging. (You have to calculate the correct coordinates within the new superview, so it stays in place). After dragging finishes, i checked if the target area was reached, otherwise I moved it back into the scrollview.
The subviews are handling the dragging on there own via (touchesBegan:/Moved:/Ended:/Cancelled:).
If that's not detailed enough, here's my example code: Github: JDDroppableView

Preventing ScrollView from scrolling in certain area?

I hope you can help me...
I have a scrollview (UIScrollview) that contains a contentView (UiView).
Inside the contentview I have a Horizontal slider. My problem is that if the user swipes just next to the slider, trying to hit the slider, the scrollview scrolls. I would like to enlarge the area of the slider if possible, or just disable scrolling for a certain part of the scroll view.
Is this possible, and if yes, how?
Thanks...
You need to look at the following properties for customizing the look of a scroll view:
indicatorStyle
scrollIndicatorInsets
Or if this isn't to your taste: You could subclass UIScrollView and when the custom slider receives touches, read them in transform them and call setContentOffset on the UIScrollView. In my opinion that seems like a big task for very little reward and I'd just stick with the default behaviour/look.

Second UIScrollView responding when using a UIScrollView

This is more of a check as I believe this is right but its a lot of work if I'm wrong.
I want to basically achieve fixed positioning with a scrollView. I want to have a list along the top that is always visible, scrolls horizontal only and then a scrollview beneath that to move around the information which scrolls both vertically and horizontally.
I figure I need to subclass UIScrollView and overwrite touchesBegan, touchesMoved and touchesEnded to send the touch to both UIScrollViews.
Is this right or off track?
Cheers
Overriding the touch events on a scroll view is probably not what you want to do. Instead you can simply use a single scroll view, and then in the parent view's -layoutSubviews or in the scroll view's delegate methods you can move the list so it's always at the same vertical position (use the scroll view's contentOffset property to determine where that should be). Both the delegate method and -layoutSubviews is called before the drawing actually occurs after the scroll view scrolls, so by always repositioning your view where you want it to be, it will appear to remain fixed to the user.

Iphone Custom Scrollview indicator

I am currently working on an application for a client, and they have made an odd request. The request involves putting a custom image as the indicator for the scrollview. I am not even sure if this is possible but if it is can you please let me know how one would go about doing that.
Thanks
UIScrollView streches a small, semi-transparent circle image to generate its scrollbars. You can find this image as the first subview of a UIScrollView:
UIImageView *circle = [scrollView.subviews objectAtIndex:0];
However, as I said this image is stretched, and as far as I can tell, only the alpha values are considered when drawing the scroll bars.
So for example if you're only interested in changing the top/bottom ends of the scroll bar, you can try to change this image. However, I doubt you'll be able to do anything interesting.
A possible solution that comes to mind, and this is only a theory, is to add a custom, transparent UIView on top of a UIScrollView. Then you can hide the default scroll bar (by using showsHorizontalScrollIndicator and showsVerticalScrollIndicator), pass the necessary touch events to the UIScrollView to scroll the content, and draw the scrollbars in your custom view.

iPhone - strange issue with UIScrollView and touches

I have two UIImageView objects inside my view (both 320x480 one above the other). The lower image view is inside a UIScrollView with scrolling and zooming enabled. Now I want to handle touches inside the other image view but it no longer detects any single taps.
I can understand that the UIScrollView handles all the touches which I do on it. But the touches on the image view above the scroll view are also not recognized.
Attached is an image with my view hierarchy. Can someone please tell me why the other image view's touches are also handled by the scrollview when it isn't a subview of scroll view?
And if the scrollview is bent on handling touches, how do I recognize touches on the other image view?
Thanks.
By default UIImageViews have userInteractionEnabled=NO;
Try setting it to YES (either in IB or in code).
I'm not sure, it might be that you need to set the frame size and/or content size of the scroll view properly. This page has a diagram of what I'm talking about.
