Paging with ScrollView using directly storyboard instead of creating .xib files - ios

Sorry in advance, this is a long question but I wanted to explain as good as I can.
I need to implement a walkthrough(first time launch guide) for the project, which will only be shown to user for the first time they launch the app.
I've implemented it by creating a .xib file, where I was just creating a view for each item I need to implement for the walkthrough by creating objects referring to .xib model.
But now I'm required to implement it without using .xib files, where I need to do it via storyboard. This time I've inserted a scrollView, and then I put another view inside it with the objects I'm going to need such as (labels,imageViews,buttons etc.) But it doesn't work, even though I can create all the objects by copying the view right under the scrollView. When I try to expand the width of the scrollView with all the views created so I can do paging, it doesn't create each view next to each other but only shows me the last object(view) in the simulator as they add up vertically, and I can't do no paging.
Now I provide some sample code to show how I try to implement this:
import UIKit
class DenemeViewController: UIViewController, UIScrollViewDelegate {
#IBOutlet weak var scrollView: UIScrollView!
#IBOutlet weak var pageControl: UIPageControl!
#IBOutlet weak var repeatingView: UIView!
var viewArray = [UIView]()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let temporaryView = repeatingView
temporaryView?.backgroundColor = .black
viewArray.append(temporaryView!)
let temporaryViewTwo = repeatingView
temporaryViewTwo?.backgroundColor = .blue
viewArray.append(temporaryViewTwo!)
pageControl.numberOfPages = viewArray.count
pageControl.currentPage = 0
view.bringSubview(toFront: pageControl)
setupScrollView(items: viewArray)
}
func setupScrollView(items: [UIView]) {
scrollView.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: view.frame.width, height: view.frame.height)
scrollView.contentSize = CGSize(width: view.frame.width * CGFloat(items.count), height: view.frame.height)
scrollView.isPagingEnabled = true
for i in 0..<items.count {
items[i].frame = CGRect(x: view.frame.width * CGFloat(i), y: 0, width: view.frame.width, height: view.frame.height)
scrollView.addSubview(items[i])
}
}
func scrollViewDidScroll(_ scrollView: UIScrollView) {
let pageIndex = round(scrollView.contentOffset.x/view.frame.width)
pageControl.currentPage = Int(pageIndex)
}
}
As you can see I first create two different views in viewDidLoad by referring to "repeatingView" which is the outlet of the view inside scrollView on the storyboard. Then I return them in an array and try to implement scrollView's subviews with views.
I was expecting to see the scrollView starting with the view with black background and as I do the paging through right then the view with blue background should appear.
When I run this what I see is only the blue view, and I'm unable to do any paging or scrolling.

Horizontal UIScrollView is not centering the current page

I would like to have a horizontal scroll layout which displays images. It works fine if setup 0, 0, 0 and 0 the constraints of the UIScrollView. The problem is exactly when I change the constraints to make margins surrounded the UIScrollView. This is what happens:
First image in the UIScrollView
Second image in the UIScrollView
Third image in the UIScrollView
As you can see, each time you scroll, more off-center the current page is.
I have tried to subtract trailing and leading constrains constants to the width of the scrollLayout, play with frames and bouds but without success.
If I run this example in a smaller display like iphone 5S, the problem is more pointed.
class ViewController: UIViewController, UIScrollViewDelegate {
#IBOutlet weak var pageController: UIPageControl!
#IBOutlet weak var scrollView: UIScrollView!
let imagesArray = ["b_1", "b_2", "b_3", "b_4", "b_5"]
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
self.scrollView.isPagingEnabled = true
self.pageController.numberOfPages = imagesArray.count
self.pageController.pageIndicatorTintColor = UIColor.blue
self.pageController.currentPageIndicatorTintColor = UIColor.gray
for i in 0...imagesArray.count - 1{
let imageView = UIImageView()
imageView.contentMode = .scaleToFill
imageView.image = UIImage(named: self.imagesArray[i])
let xPos = CGFloat(i)*self.view.bounds.size.width
imageView.frame = CGRect(x: xPos, y: 0, width: view.frame.size.width, height: self.scrollView.frame.size.height )
self.scrollView.contentSize.width = view.frame.size.width*CGFloat(i+1)
self.scrollView.addSubview(imageView)
}
}
func scrollViewDidScroll(_ scrollView: UIScrollView) {
let page = scrollView.contentOffset.x/scrollView.frame.width
self.pageController.currentPage = Int(page)
}
}
So, I would like to know how to always obtain the current image centered.
Thank you
EDITED with Rajesh results and view debug:
I would recommend using a UICollectionView in place of a UIScrollView - otherwise you will be building a lot of the basics from scratch. You can use a collection view that centers the images, make sure paging is enabled and you should get the interface you're looking for. Make sure to adopt / conform to the UICollectionViewDelegate & UICollectionViewDelegateFlowLayout protocols with your view controller & set those delegates on your collection view. Hope that helps! Best of luck.

UIButton inside UIView inside UIScrollView not firing tap action

I've been looking for this for hours and have no luck yet. I want to use two custom views inside a scrollview. The first view have a button as a subview that leads the user to the next page(scrolls down). But the button action it's never fired. If I use the button as a scrollview subview everything works fine, but that's not what I want.
The code for the scrollview view controller:
class ViewController: UIViewController {
#IBOutlet weak var scrollView: UIScrollView!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
}
override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {
super.viewDidLayoutSubviews()
let redView = View1()
redView.view.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: self.view.frame.width, height: self.scrollView.frame.height)
self.scrollView.addSubview(redView.view!)
let blueView = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: self.scrollView.frame.height, width: self.view.frame.width, height: self.scrollView.frame.height))
blueView.backgroundColor = .blue
self.scrollView.addSubview(blueView)
self.scrollView.contentSize = CGSize(width: self.view.frame.width, height: self.scrollView.frame.height * 2)
}
func go(to page: Int) {
let y = CGFloat(page) * self.scrollView.frame.size.height
self.scrollView.setContentOffset(CGPoint(x: 0, y: y), animated: true)
}
}
ScrollView Storyboard Configuration
The code of the View1 Class:
class View1: UIViewController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
}
#IBAction func didTouchUpInsideMoreInfoButton(_ sender: Any) {
print("test")
}
}
Any ideas are welcome. Thanks in advance.
Turn out that I was using a view controller's view and for some reason, the selectors don't work this way. So, what I did was to create a UIView only and then everything works just fine.
Check if the buttons userInteraction is enabled.
Sometimes if your button is inside another view, a UIView for example, it doesn't allow you to tap it. To fix this, you might want to add the button ON TOP of that view but not inside it. Make sure it's above but not inside any view in on your storyboard.

Swift 3 Horizontal Multiple UIScrollView - Different Speeds

I have created two UIScrollViews ( One named scrollView and one named scrollLevel4 )
when I move scrollLevel4, I can get scrollView to move at the same speed using :-
func scrollViewDidScroll(_ scrollLevel4: UIScrollView) {
scrollView.contentOffset.x = scrollLevel4.contentOffset.x
}
However If I want to move scrollView at a different pace, not sure what to do, whenever I add anything to the end of line :
scrollView.contentOffset.x = scrollLevel4.contentOffset.x
it crashes, even a simple + 10, same pace, staggered offset, still crashes
also tried .scrollRectToVisible() method
Thoughts ?
Without seeing the error or your code it's hard to say for sure, but most likely you are setting the same delegate for both scrollViews. When you drag scrollLevel4, it triggers a scroll on scrollView, so you get an infinite loop and eventually a crash.
If you want to use the same delegate on both scrollViews, you'll need to check which one was passed before operating on them. Here's a basic working implementation. Open a new single view project and replace the code in ViewController.swift with:
import UIKit
class ViewController: UIViewController, UIScrollViewDelegate {
var imageView1: UIImageView!
var imageView2: UIImageView!
var scrollView1: UIScrollView!
var scrollView2: UIScrollView!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
imageView1 = UIImageView(image: UIImage(named: "image.jpg"))
imageView2 = UIImageView(image: UIImage(named: "image.jpg"))
scrollView1 = UIScrollView(frame: CGRect(origin: CGPoint.zero, size: CGSize(width: 200, height: 200)))
scrollView1.contentSize = imageView1.bounds.size
scrollView1.addSubview(imageView1)
view.addSubview(scrollView1)
scrollView2 = UIScrollView(frame: CGRect(origin: CGPoint(x: 0, y: 210), size: CGSize(width: 200, height: 200)))
scrollView2.contentSize = imageView2.bounds.size
scrollView2.addSubview(imageView2)
view.addSubview(scrollView2)
scrollView2.delegate = self
scrollView1.delegate = self
}
func scrollViewDidScroll(_ scrolled: UIScrollView) {
// both scrollViews call this when scrolled, so determine which was scrolled before adjusting
if scrolled === scrollView1 {
scrollView2.contentOffset.x = scrolled.contentOffset.x + 100
} else if scrolled === scrollView2 {
scrollView1.contentOffset.x = scrolled.contentOffset.x - 100
}
}
}
Note that whatever modification you apply to the offset of one, you have to apply the exact inverse (or nothing at all) to the other. Otherwise you'll have an infinite loop of back and forth scrolling ending in a crash.

scrollview autolayout issue xcode 8 with constraints

I am adding my intro screens in a scrollview.So I have to scroll horizontally only.I have set constraints for scrollview(top, bottom.leading, trailing).I have added subviews like the following
for i in 0..<self.arrIntro.count{
let view = IntroScreenView.instanceFromNib()
let x = CGFloat(i) * self.scrollIntro.frame.size.width
view.frame = CGRect(x: x, y: 0, width: self.scrollIntro.frame.size.width, height: self.scrollIntro.frame.size.height)
print(view,self.scrollIntro)
view.imgIntro.image = UIImage(named: "image-1")//UIImage(contentsOfFile: self.arrIntro[i]["Link"] as! String)
print(self.arrIntro[i]["Link"] as! String)
self.scrollIntro.addSubview(view)
}
self.scrollIntro.contentSize = CGSize(width: (CGFloat(self.arrIntro.count) * self.scrollIntro.frame.size.width ) , height: self.scrollIntro.frame.size.height)
but my scrollview is vertically scrolling little bit.How should I avoid this.Any autolayout issue?
You're not adding any constraints to your views. Add height and width constraints to each item, constraints between the views and constraints from the views to the scroll view. Note that the constraints between the Su views and the scroll view will set the content size for you.
Scroll view scrolls vertically, when contentSize.height is greater than the scrollView height.
Just make sure, your contentSize.height is not greater than the scrollView.frame.size.height.
One reason, that I could guess is that, you might be setting contentSize a point after which the frames of the scroll view changes. You should move setting you contentSize in viewDidLayoutSubviews()
Sample : This code makes vertical scroll
class ViewController: UIViewController, UIScrollViewDelegate {
#IBOutlet var scrollView: UIScrollView!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
scrollView.contentSize = CGSize(width: self.scrollView.bounds.width*5, height: self.scrollView.frame.height)
}
}
And this does not
class ViewController: UIViewController, UIScrollViewDelegate {
#IBOutlet var scrollView: UIScrollView!
override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {
scrollView.contentSize = CGSize(width: self.scrollView.bounds.width*5, height: self.scrollView.frame.height)
}
}

Creating multiple UIViews from button pressed Swift

I have a UIView called brokeView, It is draggable and rotational. I am trying to allow the user to populate the same exact view from clicking a button allowing an endless amount of the same UIView to populate. Is this possible to do in swift using the storyboard?
- Do I have to create all the views in storyboard or could I populate them through code using an array or loop?
#IBOutlet weak var brokeView: UIView!
#IBAction func showBrokenAnnotation(sender: AnyObject) {
brokeView.hidden = false
for i in 1...10 {
print(i)
let newView = UIView(frame: brokeView.bounds)
brokeView.addSubview(newView)
}
This can be done through code. Here is some pseudo code.
Updated from our conversation below - this makes it the same size as your "brokenView" and then you can set the x/y however you want.
let newView = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: mainView.frame.width, height: mainView.frame.height))
self.view.addSubview(newView)
