How to add UIview animation transition in MailComposerViewController? - iphone

I am using the following code:
- (void)flip
{
MailComposerViewController *mailView = [[MailComposerViewController alloc] init];
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:2.0];
[UIView setAnimationTransition:UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromLeft
forView:window
cache:YES];
[mtController.view removeFromSuperview];
//[self.window addSubview:[mailComposer view]];
[self presentModalViewController:mailView animated:YES];
[UIView commitAnimations];
[mailView release]
}
here mtController is a navigation controller (XIB file). I removed it and I add mailview, but the simulator does not show it. What am I doing wrong?

What are you trying to do? Less Vague Questions Is A Good Thing™. Are you trying to use a standard Mail compose controller and use it to flip over instead of present normally?
If so, you can do this:
MailComposerViewController *mailView = [[[MailComposerViewController alloc] init] autorelease];
mailView.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal;
[self presentModalViewController:mailView animated:YES];

UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal flips Vertically in Landscape Mode

I am developing an App in Landscape Mode. While doing UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal flips in Landscape Mode, it flips Vertically.
Is there any way to fix it?
Here is the code:
InfoViewController *vc = [[InfoViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"InfoViewController" bundle:nil];
vc.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal;
[self presentModalViewController:vc animated:YES];
[vc release];
MyViewController *viewController = [[MyViewController alloc] init];
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:nil];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:1.0];
[UIView setAnimationCurve:UIViewAnimationCurveEaseInOut];
[UIView setAnimationBeginsFromCurrentState:YES];
[UIView setAnimationTransition:UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromRight forView:self.navigationController.view cache:YES];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:viewController animated:NO];
[UIView commitAnimations];
[viewController release];
check this...
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
// Return YES for supported orientations
return UIInterfaceOrientationIsLandscape(interfaceOrientation);
}

Switching View through a function

I'm working on an iPhone/iPad application and trying to switch views through a function call, not by a button. I've seen lots of sources switching views triggered by a button, but there's nothing that explains how to switch views triggered by a function. I tried to do this on my own, but it failed. Here's the code that I tried:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
if (self.webview == nil) {
self.webview = [[MainViewController alloc] init];
/* webview initialized with storyboard */
if (self.view.superview == nil) {
[self.view insertSubview:self.webview.view atIndex:0];
}
[storyboard release];
}
}
This is viewDidLoad of the viewController.m. First, it shows WebView.
- (void)changeView {
self.normview = [[AlternateViewController alloc] init];
/* normview initialized with storyboard */
[UIView beginAnimations:#"View Flip" context:nil];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:0.75];
[UIView setAnimationCurve:UIViewAnimationCurveEaseInOut];
[UIView setAnimationTransition:UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromRight forView:self.view cache:YES];
[self.webview viewWillDisappear:YES];
[self.webview viewDidDisappear:YES];
[self.webview.view removeFromSuperview];
[self.view insertSubview:self.normview.view atIndex:0];
[self.normview viewWillAppear:YES];
[self.normview viewDidAppear:YES];
[UIView commitAnimations];
}
And when this changeView function (in a viewController.m) is called, It should change the view from webview to normview (actually, it works fine when the same code is triggered by a button). But when I call this function in other file (not viewController.m), such as
ViewController *viewcontroller = [[ViewController alloc] init];
[viewcontroller changeView];
It doesn't work. Anyone can give a clue to solve this or an alternative way? (ps. I'm testing on iPad.)
You can switch views with this function:
YourView *screen = [[YourView alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
screen.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleCrossDissolve;
[self presentModalViewController:screen animated:YES];
[screen release];
You can set the modaltransitionstyle to your willings.
Don't forget to import your headerfile at the top of your class.
#import "YourView.h"

iPhone View Animation

I am trying to switch views, but I want the animation with the view lifts up and its like a piece of paper folding to see what is underneath.
Any tutorials or examples of how to get that view animation, if it is an animation, would be appreciated.
Actually the view that the maps app uses when you hit the button on the corner.
Something like this should work:
MyViewController *myView = [[MyViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"MyViewController" bundle:nil];
myView.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = [[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemDone target:self action:#selector(dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:)] autorelease];
UINavigationController *navigation = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:myView];
navigation.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStylePartialCurl;
navigation.delegate = self;
[self presentModalViewController:navigation animated:YES];
The key here is the modalTransitionStyle property needs to be set to UIModalTransitionStylePartialCurl before presenting the modal view.
More info here: UIViewController Class Reference (look for modalPresentationStyle, modalTransitionStyle, presentModalViewController:animated:, and dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:).
There are two basic ways of doing this, the old one which is no longer recommended:
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:nil];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:0.5];
[UIView setAnimationTransition:UIViewAnimationTransitionCurlDown
forView:containerView cache:YES];
[containerView addSubview:subview];
[UIView commitAnimations];
And the new one (It uses blocks which are supported from iOS 4 and on):
[UIView transitionWithView:containerView duration:0.5
options:UIViewAnimationOptionTransitionCurlDown
animations:^ { [containerView addSubview:subview]; }
completion:nil];

UITableView Navigation Bar "Flickers" on Animation

I have a UIViewController, a "switcher" that will basically just rotate a view from one to another.
It all works great, except that the view that I am transitioning to is a UIViewController which holds a UITableViewController. For some reason, when the animation "flips", the navigation bar is invisible, and once the animation completes the navigation bar just appears.
It really doesn't look good and I was wondering if anyone knew why I might be seeing this and how I could fix it?
Thanks,

EDIT: Adding some code by request!
Switcher viewDidLoad method - Currently Initializing both of the ViewControllers because I thought it may help
[super viewDidLoad];
LogoView *logoController = [[LogoView alloc] init];
self.logoView = logoController;
[self.view insertSubview:logoView.view atIndex:0];
[logoController release];
MainController *vController = [[MainController alloc] init];
self.controller = vController;
[vController release];
switchTimer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:2 target:self selector:#selector(switchViews) userInfo:nil repeats:NO];
Switcher switchViews method
[UIView beginAnimations:#"View Flip" context:nil];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:.5];
[UIView setAnimationCurve:UIViewAnimationCurveEaseInOut];
if (self.controller.view.superview == nil)
{
[UIView setAnimationTransition:UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromRight forView:self.view cache:YES];
[controller viewWillAppear:YES];
[logoView viewWillDisappear:YES];
[logoView.view removeFromSuperview];
[self.view insertSubview:controller.view atIndex:0];
[logoView viewDidDisappear:YES];
[controller viewDidAppear:YES];
}
[UIView commitAnimations];
MainController viewDidLoad method
CGRect frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 410);
FirstLevelController *controller = [[FirstLevelController alloc] init];
navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:controller];
navController.view.frame = frame;
navController.navigationBar.tintColor = [UIColor blackColor];
[controller release];
[self.view addSubview:navController.view];
Inside the FirstLevelController I just add the items to the table view... I've tried adding a navController.title = #"Home", but I am not even seeing the black navbar without text... it's just a big empty space.
Help is muchly appreciated!
Hah! I changed the animation "cache" from YES to NO, and it fixed it! Yay!

.xib not loading right (iPhone)

For some reason when I load a new view (from a .xib) it'll load the class files, BUT NOT the .xib!!
Here's my code:
login *lo =[[login alloc] initWithNibName:#"login" bundle:nil];
self.log = lo;
UIViewController *loginview = log;
[UIView setAnimationTransition:UIViewAnimationCurveEaseIn forView:self.view cache:YES];
[loginview viewWillAppear:YES];
[self.view removeFromSuperview];
[self viewWillDisappear:YES];
[self.view insertSubview:loginview.view atIndex:0];
[self viewDidDisappear:YES];
[loginview viewDidAppear:YES];
[UIView commitAnimations];
[log release];
Perhaps this question discusses what you're experiencing? Sorry if I misunderstood your question, it's kind of low on the details.
