I need to write a function that will return true if given point is inside any of subviews hierarchy of view A. A can be transformed (rotated), and has clipToBounds disabled. It's subviews also can have clipToBounds disabled, and true must returned if any of subviews is tapped. I have something that almost works, but fails when view is rotated. Can someone suggest how to fix this?
extension UIView {
func hitTestIgnoringBounds(_ point: CGPoint) -> Bool {
guard !isHidden && alpha > 0 else { return false }
let subPoint = frame.origin - point
return frame.contains(point) || subviews.contains {
return $0.hitTestIgnoringBounds(subPoint)
}
}
}
I knew it should have been easy, but could not make it work. I made a stupid mistake - my code was adding sublayers instead of subviews. When I switched to subviews, everything worked fine:
func viewOrSubviewsContaintPoint(_ point: CGPoint) -> Bool {
let convertedPoint = convert(point, from: superview)
let containsPoint = bounds.contains(convertedPoint)
var subviewsContainsPoint: Bool {
return subviews.contains { $0.viewOrSubviewsContaintPoint(convertedPoint) }
}
return containsPoint || subviewsContainsPoint
}
I'm new to swift and Xcode so there may be a simple answer or better way to do this. I am trying to make rounded edges to my buttons in all size iOS devices and the best way that I have found so far is using this method:
override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {
super.viewDidLayoutSubviews()
for i in 0..<buttons.count {
self.buttons[i].layer.cornerRadius = self.buttons[i].bounds.size.height / 2
}
examResultsBackButtonOutlet.layer.cornerRadius = examResultsBackButtonOutlet.bounds.size.height / 2
}
// Build UI
func loadUI() {
// Round the edges, change color background, font
titleOutlet.mainMenuStyle("", 75, earthGreenWithAlpha)
for i in 0..<buttons.count {
buttons[i].mainMenuStyle("", 40)
}
print("Main Menu successful load")
}
I call the loadUI() method in my viewDidLoad method for what its worth:
//MARK: viewDidLoad()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Load the UI
loadUI()
loadExamResultsView()
mainMenu()
examResultsStackView.isHidden = true
loadStoredScores()
loadStoredSettings()
}
The issue presents itself not when I start the app for the first time (this is the first scene/View Controller), rather the issue occurs when I segue back to this scene from my second View Controller.
What happens is the buttons are formatted weird for about a half a second, then they are reformatted perfectly:
Correctly formatted screenshot
Incorrectly formatted screenshot
You'll notice the second image (which only occurs for about 0.5 seconds) has much more intense corner radius'.
How can I prevent this from happening so that the user only sees the perfectly round corner radius' for each button and not the poor janky ones?
Thanks!
Thanks for everyone's feedback but here is what fixed it for me:
override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewDidAppear(animated)
for i in 0..<buttons.count {
self.buttons[i].layer.cornerRadius = self.buttons[i].bounds.size.height / 2
}
examResultsBackButtonOutlet.layer.cornerRadius = examResultsBackButtonOutlet.bounds.size.height / 2
}
This replaced the original post:
override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {
super.viewDidLayoutSubviews()
for i in 0..<buttons.count {
self.buttons[i].layer.cornerRadius = self.buttons[i].bounds.size.height / 2
}
examResultsBackButtonOutlet.layer.cornerRadius = examResultsBackButtonOutlet.bounds.size.height / 2 }
Thanks!
Maybe you can try this:
https://imgur.com/a9kTt98
or add to extension of UIView
extension UIView {
#IBInspectable var cornerRadius: CGFloat {
get {
return layer.cornerRadius
}
set {
layer.cornerRadius = newValue
layer.masksToBounds = (newValue > 0)
}
}
}
Can anyone tell me how I can mimic the bottom sheet in the new Apple Maps app in iOS 10?
In Android, you can use a BottomSheet which mimics this behaviour, but I could not find anything like that for iOS.
Is that a simple scroll view with a content inset, so that the search bar is at the bottom?
I am fairly new to iOS programming so if someone could help me creating this layout, that would be highly appreciated.
This is what I mean by "bottom sheet":
I don't know how exactly the bottom sheet of the new Maps app, responds to user interactions. But you can create a custom view that looks like the one in the screenshots and add it to the main view.
I assume you know how to:
1- create view controllers either by storyboards or using xib files.
2- use googleMaps or Apple's MapKit.
Example
1- Create 2 view controllers e.g, MapViewController and BottomSheetViewController. The first controller will host the map and the second is the bottom sheet itself.
Configure MapViewController
Create a method to add the bottom sheet view.
func addBottomSheetView() {
// 1- Init bottomSheetVC
let bottomSheetVC = BottomSheetViewController()
// 2- Add bottomSheetVC as a child view
self.addChildViewController(bottomSheetVC)
self.view.addSubview(bottomSheetVC.view)
bottomSheetVC.didMoveToParentViewController(self)
// 3- Adjust bottomSheet frame and initial position.
let height = view.frame.height
let width = view.frame.width
bottomSheetVC.view.frame = CGRectMake(0, self.view.frame.maxY, width, height)
}
And call it in viewDidAppear method:
override func viewDidAppear(animated: Bool) {
super.viewDidAppear(animated)
addBottomSheetView()
}
Configure BottomSheetViewController
1) Prepare background
Create a method to add blur and vibrancy effects
func prepareBackgroundView(){
let blurEffect = UIBlurEffect.init(style: .Dark)
let visualEffect = UIVisualEffectView.init(effect: blurEffect)
let bluredView = UIVisualEffectView.init(effect: blurEffect)
bluredView.contentView.addSubview(visualEffect)
visualEffect.frame = UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds
bluredView.frame = UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds
view.insertSubview(bluredView, atIndex: 0)
}
call this method in your viewWillAppear
override func viewWillAppear(animated: Bool) {
super.viewWillAppear(animated)
prepareBackgroundView()
}
Make sure that your controller's view background color is clearColor.
2) Animate bottomSheet appearance
override func viewDidAppear(animated: Bool) {
super.viewDidAppear(animated)
UIView.animateWithDuration(0.3) { [weak self] in
let frame = self?.view.frame
let yComponent = UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds.height - 200
self?.view.frame = CGRectMake(0, yComponent, frame!.width, frame!.height)
}
}
3) Modify your xib as you want.
4) Add Pan Gesture Recognizer to your view.
In your viewDidLoad method add UIPanGestureRecognizer.
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let gesture = UIPanGestureRecognizer.init(target: self, action: #selector(BottomSheetViewController.panGesture))
view.addGestureRecognizer(gesture)
}
And implement your gesture behaviour:
func panGesture(recognizer: UIPanGestureRecognizer) {
let translation = recognizer.translationInView(self.view)
let y = self.view.frame.minY
self.view.frame = CGRectMake(0, y + translation.y, view.frame.width, view.frame.height)
recognizer.setTranslation(CGPointZero, inView: self.view)
}
Scrollable Bottom Sheet:
If your custom view is a scroll view or any other view that inherits from, so you have two options:
First:
Design the view with a header view and add the panGesture to the header. (bad user experience).
Second:
1 - Add the panGesture to the bottom sheet view.
2 - Implement the UIGestureRecognizerDelegate and set the panGesture delegate to the controller.
3- Implement shouldRecognizeSimultaneouslyWith delegate function and disable the scrollView isScrollEnabled property in two case:
The view is partially visible.
The view is totally visible, the scrollView contentOffset property is 0 and the user is dragging the view downwards.
Otherwise enable scrolling.
func gestureRecognizer(_ gestureRecognizer: UIGestureRecognizer, shouldRecognizeSimultaneouslyWith otherGestureRecognizer: UIGestureRecognizer) -> Bool {
let gesture = (gestureRecognizer as! UIPanGestureRecognizer)
let direction = gesture.velocity(in: view).y
let y = view.frame.minY
if (y == fullView && tableView.contentOffset.y == 0 && direction > 0) || (y == partialView) {
tableView.isScrollEnabled = false
} else {
tableView.isScrollEnabled = true
}
return false
}
NOTE
In case you set .allowUserInteraction as an animation option, like in the sample project, so you need to enable scrolling on the animation completion closure if the user is scrolling up.
Sample Project
I created a sample project with more options on this repo which may give you better insights about how to customise the flow.
In the demo, addBottomSheetView() function controls which view should be used as a bottom sheet.
Sample Project Screenshots
- Partial View
- FullView
- Scrollable View
Update iOS 15
In iOS 15, you can now use the native UISheetPresentationController.
if let sheet = viewControllerToPresent.sheetPresentationController {
sheet.detents = [.medium(), .large()]
// your sheet setup
}
present(viewControllerToPresent, animated: true, completion: nil)
Notice that you can even reproduce its navigation stack using the overcurrentcontext presentation mode:
let nextViewControllerToPresent: UIViewController = ...
nextViewControllerToPresent.modalPresentationStyle = .overCurrentContext
viewControllerToPresent.present(nextViewControllerToPresent, animated: true, completion: nil)
Legacy
I released a library based on my answer below.
It mimics the Shortcuts application overlay. See this article for details.
The main component of the library is the OverlayContainerViewController. It defines an area where a view controller can be dragged up and down, hiding or revealing the content underneath it.
let contentController = MapsViewController()
let overlayController = SearchViewController()
let containerController = OverlayContainerViewController()
containerController.delegate = self
containerController.viewControllers = [
contentController,
overlayController
]
window?.rootViewController = containerController
Implement OverlayContainerViewControllerDelegate to specify the number of notches wished:
enum OverlayNotch: Int, CaseIterable {
case minimum, medium, maximum
}
func numberOfNotches(in containerViewController: OverlayContainerViewController) -> Int {
return OverlayNotch.allCases.count
}
func overlayContainerViewController(_ containerViewController: OverlayContainerViewController,
heightForNotchAt index: Int,
availableSpace: CGFloat) -> CGFloat {
switch OverlayNotch.allCases[index] {
case .maximum:
return availableSpace * 3 / 4
case .medium:
return availableSpace / 2
case .minimum:
return availableSpace * 1 / 4
}
}
SwiftUI (12/29/20)
A SwiftUI version of the library is now available.
Color.red.dynamicOverlay(Color.green)
Previous answer
I think there is a significant point that is not treated in the suggested solutions: the transition between the scroll and the translation.
In Maps, as you may have noticed, when the tableView reaches contentOffset.y == 0, the bottom sheet either slides up or goes down.
The point is tricky because we can not simply enable/disable the scroll when our pan gesture begins the translation. It would stop the scroll until a new touch begins. This is the case in most of the proposed solutions here.
Here is my try to implement this motion.
Starting point: Maps App
To start our investigation, let's visualize the view hierarchy of Maps (start Maps on a simulator and select Debug > Attach to process by PID or Name > Maps in Xcode 9).
It doesn't tell how the motion works, but it helped me to understand the logic of it. You can play with the lldb and the view hierarchy debugger.
Our view controller stacks
Let's create a basic version of the Maps ViewController architecture.
We start with a BackgroundViewController (our map view):
class BackgroundViewController: UIViewController {
override func loadView() {
view = MKMapView()
}
}
We put the tableView in a dedicated UIViewController:
class OverlayViewController: UIViewController, UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate {
lazy var tableView = UITableView()
override func loadView() {
view = tableView
tableView.dataSource = self
tableView.delegate = self
}
[...]
}
Now, we need a VC to embed the overlay and manage its translation.
To simplify the problem, we consider that it can translate the overlay from one static point OverlayPosition.maximum to another OverlayPosition.minimum.
For now it only has one public method to animate the position change and it has a transparent view:
enum OverlayPosition {
case maximum, minimum
}
class OverlayContainerViewController: UIViewController {
let overlayViewController: OverlayViewController
var translatedViewHeightContraint = ...
override func loadView() {
view = UIView()
}
func moveOverlay(to position: OverlayPosition) {
[...]
}
}
Finally we need a ViewController to embed the all:
class StackViewController: UIViewController {
private var viewControllers: [UIViewController]
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
viewControllers.forEach { gz_addChild($0, in: view) }
}
}
In our AppDelegate, our startup sequence looks like:
let overlay = OverlayViewController()
let containerViewController = OverlayContainerViewController(overlayViewController: overlay)
let backgroundViewController = BackgroundViewController()
window?.rootViewController = StackViewController(viewControllers: [backgroundViewController, containerViewController])
The difficulty behind the overlay translation
Now, how to translate our overlay?
Most of the proposed solutions use a dedicated pan gesture recognizer, but we actually already have one : the pan gesture of the table view.
Moreover, we need to keep the scroll and the translation synchronised and the UIScrollViewDelegate has all the events we need!
A naive implementation would use a second pan Gesture and try to reset the contentOffset of the table view when the translation occurs:
func panGestureAction(_ recognizer: UIPanGestureRecognizer) {
if isTranslating {
tableView.contentOffset = .zero
}
}
But it does not work. The tableView updates its contentOffset when its own pan gesture recognizer action triggers or when its displayLink callback is called. There is no chance that our recognizer triggers right after those to successfully override the contentOffset.
Our only chance is either to take part of the layout phase (by overriding layoutSubviews of the scroll view calls at each frame of the scroll view) or to respond to the didScroll method of the delegate called each time the contentOffset is modified. Let's try this one.
The translation Implementation
We add a delegate to our OverlayVC to dispatch the scrollview's events to our translation handler, the OverlayContainerViewController :
protocol OverlayViewControllerDelegate: class {
func scrollViewDidScroll(_ scrollView: UIScrollView)
func scrollViewDidStopScrolling(_ scrollView: UIScrollView)
}
class OverlayViewController: UIViewController {
[...]
func scrollViewDidScroll(_ scrollView: UIScrollView) {
delegate?.scrollViewDidScroll(scrollView)
}
func scrollViewDidEndDragging(_ scrollView: UIScrollView, willDecelerate decelerate: Bool) {
delegate?.scrollViewDidStopScrolling(scrollView)
}
}
In our container, we keep track of the translation using a enum:
enum OverlayInFlightPosition {
case minimum
case maximum
case progressing
}
The current position calculation looks like :
private var overlayInFlightPosition: OverlayInFlightPosition {
let height = translatedViewHeightContraint.constant
if height == maximumHeight {
return .maximum
} else if height == minimumHeight {
return .minimum
} else {
return .progressing
}
}
We need 3 methods to handle the translation:
The first one tells us if we need to start the translation.
private func shouldTranslateView(following scrollView: UIScrollView) -> Bool {
guard scrollView.isTracking else { return false }
let offset = scrollView.contentOffset.y
switch overlayInFlightPosition {
case .maximum:
return offset < 0
case .minimum:
return offset > 0
case .progressing:
return true
}
}
The second one performs the translation. It uses the translation(in:) method of the scrollView's pan gesture.
private func translateView(following scrollView: UIScrollView) {
scrollView.contentOffset = .zero
let translation = translatedViewTargetHeight - scrollView.panGestureRecognizer.translation(in: view).y
translatedViewHeightContraint.constant = max(
Constant.minimumHeight,
min(translation, Constant.maximumHeight)
)
}
The third one animates the end of the translation when the user releases its finger. We calculate the position using the velocity & the current position of the view.
private func animateTranslationEnd() {
let position: OverlayPosition = // ... calculation based on the current overlay position & velocity
moveOverlay(to: position)
}
Our overlay's delegate implementation simply looks like :
class OverlayContainerViewController: UIViewController {
func scrollViewDidScroll(_ scrollView: UIScrollView) {
guard shouldTranslateView(following: scrollView) else { return }
translateView(following: scrollView)
}
func scrollViewDidStopScrolling(_ scrollView: UIScrollView) {
// prevent scroll animation when the translation animation ends
scrollView.isEnabled = false
scrollView.isEnabled = true
animateTranslationEnd()
}
}
Final problem: dispatching the overlay container's touches
The translation is now pretty efficient. But there is still a final problem: the touches are not delivered to our background view. They are all intercepted by the overlay container's view.
We can not set isUserInteractionEnabled to false because it would also disable the interaction in our table view. The solution is the one used massively in the Maps app, PassThroughView:
class PassThroughView: UIView {
override func hitTest(_ point: CGPoint, with event: UIEvent?) -> UIView? {
let view = super.hitTest(point, with: event)
if view == self {
return nil
}
return view
}
}
It removes itself from the responder chain.
In OverlayContainerViewController:
override func loadView() {
view = PassThroughView()
}
Result
Here is the result:
You can find the code here.
Please if you see any bugs, let me know ! Note that your implementation can of course use a second pan gesture, specially if you add a header in your overlay.
Update 23/08/18
We can replace scrollViewDidEndDragging with
willEndScrollingWithVelocity rather than enabling/disabling the scroll when the user ends dragging:
func scrollView(_ scrollView: UIScrollView,
willEndScrollingWithVelocity velocity: CGPoint,
targetContentOffset: UnsafeMutablePointer<CGPoint>) {
switch overlayInFlightPosition {
case .maximum:
break
case .minimum, .progressing:
targetContentOffset.pointee = .zero
}
animateTranslationEnd(following: scrollView)
}
We can use a spring animation and allow user interaction while animating to make the motion flow better:
func moveOverlay(to position: OverlayPosition,
duration: TimeInterval,
velocity: CGPoint) {
overlayPosition = position
translatedViewHeightContraint.constant = translatedViewTargetHeight
UIView.animate(
withDuration: duration,
delay: 0,
usingSpringWithDamping: velocity.y == 0 ? 1 : 0.6,
initialSpringVelocity: abs(velocity.y),
options: [.allowUserInteraction],
animations: {
self.view.layoutIfNeeded()
}, completion: nil)
}
Try Pulley:
Pulley is an easy to use drawer library meant to imitate the drawer
in iOS 10's Maps app. It exposes a simple API that allows you to use
any UIViewController subclass as the drawer content or the primary
content.
https://github.com/52inc/Pulley
I wrote my own library to achieve the intended behaviour in ios Maps app. It is a protocol oriented solution. So you don't need to inherit any base class instead create a sheet controller and configure as you wish. It also supports inner navigation/presentation with or without UINavigationController.
See below link for more details.
https://github.com/OfTheWolf/UBottomSheet
You can try my answer https://github.com/SCENEE/FloatingPanel. It provides a container view controller to display a "bottom sheet" interface.
It's easy to use and you don't mind any gesture recognizer handling! Also you can track a scroll view's(or the sibling view) in a bottom sheet if needed.
This is a simple example. Please note that you need to prepare a view controller to display your content in a bottom sheet.
import UIKit
import FloatingPanel
class ViewController: UIViewController {
var fpc: FloatingPanelController!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
fpc = FloatingPanelController()
// Add "bottom sheet" in self.view.
fpc.add(toParent: self)
// Add a view controller to display your contents in "bottom sheet".
let contentVC = ContentViewController()
fpc.set(contentViewController: contentVC)
// Track a scroll view in "bottom sheet" content if needed.
fpc.track(scrollView: contentVC.tableView)
}
...
}
Here is another example code to display a bottom sheet to search a location like Apple Maps.
iOS 15 in 2021 adds UISheetPresentationController, which is Apple's first public release of an Apple Maps-style "bottom sheet":
UISheetPresentationController
UISheetPresentationController lets you present your view controller as a sheet. Before you present your view controller, configure its sheet presentation controller with the behavior and appearance you want for your sheet.
Sheet presentation controllers specify a sheet's size based on a detent, a height where a sheet naturally rests. Detents allow a sheet to resize from one edge of its fully expanded frame while the other three edges remain fixed. You specify the detents that a sheet supports using detents, and monitor its most recently selected detent using selectedDetentIdentifier.
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uisheetpresentationcontroller
This new bottom sheet control is explored in WWDC Session 10063: Customize and Resize Sheets in UIKit
Unfortunately....
In iOS 15, the UISheetPresentationController has launched with only medium and large detents.
A small detent is notably absent from the iOS 15 API, which would be required to display an always-presented "collapsed" bottom sheet like Apple Maps:
Custom smaller Detents in UISheetPresentationController?
The medium detent was released to handle use cases such as the Share Sheet or the "••• More" menu in Mail: a button-triggered half sheet.
In iOS 15, Apple Maps is now using this UIKit sheet presentation rather than a custom implementation, which is a huge step in the right direction. Apple Maps in iOS 15 continues to show the "small" bar, as well as a 1/3rd height bar. But those view sizes are not public API available to developers.
UIKit engineers at the WWDC 2021 Labs seemed to know that a small detent would be a hugely popular UIKit component. I would expect to see an API expansion for iOS 16 next year.
We’ve just released a pure Swift Package supporting iOS 11.4+ which provides you a BottomSheet with theme and behavior options you can customize. This component is easy to use, and flexible. You can find it here: https://github.com/LunabeeStudio/LBBottomSheet.
A demo project is available in this repository too.
For example, it supports different ways to manage the needed height, and also adds to the controller behind it the ability to detect height changes and adapt its bottom content inset.
You can find more information on the GitHub repository and in the documentation: https://lbbottomsheet.lunabee.studio.
I think it can help you to do what you’re looking for. Don’t hesitate to tell me if you have comments/questions :)
Here you can see one of all the possible BottomSheet configurations:
**for iOS 15 Native Support available for this **
#IBAction func openSheet() {
let secondVC = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "SecondViewController")
// Create the view controller.
if #available(iOS 15.0, *) {
let formNC = UINavigationController(rootViewController: secondVC!)
formNC.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationStyle.pageSheet
guard let sheetPresentationController = formNC.presentationController as? UISheetPresentationController else {
return
}
sheetPresentationController.detents = [.medium(), .large()]
sheetPresentationController.prefersGrabberVisible = true
present(formNC, animated: true, completion: nil)
} else {
// Fallback on earlier versions
}
}
iOS 15 finally adds a native UISheetPresentationController!
Official documentation
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uisheetpresentationcontroller
I recently created a component called SwipeableView as subclass of UIView, written in Swift 5.1 . It support all 4 direction, has several customisation options and can animate and interpolate different attributes and items ( such as layout constraints, background/tint color, affine transform, alpha channel and view center, all of them demoed with the respective show case ). It also supports the swiping coordination with the inner scroll view if set or auto detected. Should be pretty easy and straightforward to be used ( I hope 🙂)

Hope it helps
If you are looking for a SwiftUI 2.0 solution that uses View Struct, here it is:
https://github.com/kenfai/KavSoft-Tutorials-iOS/tree/main/MapsBottomSheet
Maybe you can try my answer https://github.com/AnYuan/AYPannel, inspired by Pulley. Smooth transition from moving the drawer to scrolling the list. I added a pan gesture on the container scroll view, and set shouldRecognizeSimultaneouslyWithGestureRecognizer to return YES. More detail in my github link above. Wish to help.
I need drag UIView via PanGestureRecognizer (I know how to do), but I can't figure out, how to make it with limitation. Need some padding from top and also if there is collision with one of four sides (left, right, top (here is the padding) and bottom of device) stop the drag and you can't over - or 1px padding like on the top, whatever. :)
I tried this one: https://github.com/andreamazz/UIView-draggable but if I set the area with limitation via cagingArea, iPad (Air) is lagged. Also the moving is not smooth, I think the native PanGestureRecognizer is the best, need just the limitation area, do you know how I can do that please? :)
I'm writing in Swift. And also found some related topics, like this one -> Use UIPanGestureRecognizer to drag UIView inside limited area but I don't know what insideDraggableArea doing?..
Thank you so much programmers!
Same problem that I faced in my project,
Try this,
1) Init PanGesture
let panRec = UIPanGestureRecognizer()
2) Add PanGesture to your UIView
override func viewDidLoad() {
....
....
panRec.addTarget(self, action: "draggedView:")
yourview.addGestureRecognizer(panRec)
yourview.userInteractionEnabled = true
....
....
}
3) Set your limitation on draggedView function
func draggedView(sender:UIPanGestureRecognizer){
println("panning")
var translation = sender.translationInView(self.view)
println("the translation x:\(translation.x) & y:\(translation.y)")
//sender.view.
var tmp=sender.view?.center.x //x translation
var tmp1=sender.view?.center.y //y translation
//set limitation for x and y origin
if(translation.x <= 100 && translation.y <= 50 )
{
sender.view?.center=CGPointMake(tmp!+translation.x, tmp1!+translation.y)
sender.setTranslation(CGPointZero, inView: self.view)
}
}
Do you have to use UIPanGestureRecognizer ?
add view to a viewcontroller and check user interaction enabled.
i think you should tag view and use touchesMoved method.
override func touchesMoved(touches: Set<NSObject>, withEvent event: UIEvent) {
if let touch = touches.first as? UITouch {
if touch.view.tag == 2 {
if self.yourView.center.y <= CGFloat(230) { //if you want use limitation drag
var touchLocation = touch.locationInView(self.view)
self.yourView.center.y = touchLocation.y
self.yourView.center.x = touchLocation.x
}
}
}
}
This works for me:
guard let view = UIApplication.shared.windows.last else { return }
view.addSubview(customView)
I have a UICollectionView with alot of UICollectionViewCells inside it.
Searched alot, but couldn't find anything near this issue.
My goal is to drag one of the Pink squares (UICollectionViewCell) to the Gray view (UIView).
You can think of it like dragging a folder on your desktop to your trash can except that I dont want the Pink square to be deleted. Or dragging a icon from your dock (it snaps back).
When the pink area hits the gray area it should just go back to its original position and the same when dropping out anywhere else using some kind of easy statement.
Can anyone help me out or redirect me to some references or samples?
Much appreciated, if you would like more info. Let me know.
If i managed to understand you correctly, i did something very similar once before, i found its much better to use a fake image of the cell, instead of the cell itself.
So for example, cell number 2 is starting to be dragged, you immediately call "SetHidden=YES", and draw at the exact same place a fake one with a simple draw method:
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(self.cell.bounds.size);
[self.cell.layer renderInContext:UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()];
UIImage *viewImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
This one you can move as you like, and when it should go back, you do it the same way.
Hope this helps you..
this worked for me in swift 3:
class DragAndDropGestureManager: NSObject {
var originalPosition: CGPoint?
var draggedView: UIView?
var viewSize: CGSize?
var originalZIndex: CGFloat = 0
#objc func handleDrag(_ recognizer: UIPanGestureRecognizer) {
switch recognizer.state {
case .began:
if let view = recognizer.view {
draggedView = view
originalPosition = view.frame.origin
viewSize = view.frame.size
originalZIndex = view.layer.zPosition
view.layer.zPosition = 1
}
case .changed:
if let view = recognizer.view {
let currentPosition = recognizer.location(in: view.superview!)
let newPosition = CGPoint(x: currentPosition.x - (viewSize!.width / 2.0), y: currentPosition.y - (viewSize!.height / 2.0))
view.frame.origin = newPosition
} else {
self.finishDrag()
}
case .ended:
finishDrag()
default:
print("drag default \(recognizer.state.rawValue)")
}
}
func finishDrag() {
self.draggedView?.frame.origin = originalPosition!
self.draggedView?.layer.zPosition = originalZIndex
originalZIndex = 0
originalPosition = nil
draggedView = nil
}
}
i added a gesture recognizer in the function public func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell
like this:
if self.dragManager != nil && cell.gestureRecognizers == nil {
cell.addGestureRecognizer(UIPanGestureRecognizer(target: dragManager!, action: #selector(DragAndDropGestureManager.handleDrag)))
}
the if, is for not adding gesutre recognition more than once because the cell are being reused
don't forget to add collectioView.clipToBounds = false otherwise the dragged cell will be clipped when trying to move out of the collection view's bounds
