I was asked to display a list of three options for the user in a View sliding from the top to bottom. They say it should slide from the top because the action is initiated from a dropdown-like button on the navigation bar.
Most of what I found on that subject mentions the deprecated UIActionSheet class.
The "new" way using UIAlertController doesn't seem to allow us to change position of the view. At the least from what I've found.
The end result I'm trying to get can be seen on the image below,
From what I've learned about iOS programming, one method I could think to achieve that would be to create a new UIViewController and to use a custom class to control the transition. But it just seems so much. And I think it wouldn't not look like a dropdown afterall.
The other option would be to create the TableView with options and leave it on the Controller where it should be displayed, configuring its height to zero. And then Animating when necessary. I also have such a bad feeling doing it this way.
Is there a right way to do this on iOS? Does one of the options I've found seems acceptable?
Thanks.
Following the suggestion given by #Losiowaty on the comments, I started looking for a custom View/Control on cocoapods and ended up finding quite a few that did what I was looking.
The one I decided to use is this:

I recently try to develop an application in swift and wanted to make a navigation bar which is the same on every single view.
I tried different approaches. The best one so far was a solution from another stack overflow-question you can see here
The solution from Jacob King works for me, but because I am relatively new in Swift, I am concerned if his approach would add a second, third, fourth,... navigation bar every time I navigate between two views, which both inherit the navigation bar? And if that is true, how can I solve this problem?
Thanks for all efforts in advance.
From the looks of the code, he says you would need to declare each ViewController. In his case, when he taps the open search button the code would execute the open search function, so from the looks of it it would not create infinite amounts of navigation bars. Remember in the future after implementing your code you can always build and run your application to test things like these to make sure I’m right. It never hurts to try! - Colin
you have to create a viecontroller class with a navigation bar and then all the viecontrollere you will have to put
miaviewcontroller: viewcontroller_with_bar
I have a 2 UIViewController(s), I need to be able to change the views at the bottom of the Airtime and Data Plan Upon tap gesture on Airtime and Data Plan!
The yellow line will indicate the active view controller. some thing like tab bar.
Perhaps, the image attached is an android version
Could anyone provide a help on how to go about this.
Thanks
I personally use a library called ICVIewPager
https://github.com/iltercengiz/ICViewPager
This is pretty simple and easy to use with examples. It should put you in the right direction without writing a lot of code.
I want to make a pretty interface. So after reflexion, I decide to make a pattern with to axes but with some essential points. The red screen is the primary screen, all start by this one.
We can only make this two move : red to another color and another color to red. And change are made with GestureRecognizer.
I also want to switch view by seeing the two at the same time. Obviously, it's following my finger and I can stay in this state.
Do you think that 5 viewController witch are all load at the start and we came to these with pretty segue (maybe custom) is possible ? And if yes, do you have an idea of how to make this ?
As a first thought I think you want to make a custom view controller navigation controller. Like UINavigationController, UITabBarController or UIPageViewController.
I'd also use a scroll view over a gesture recogniser maybe?
Either way it's gonna be a lot of work which means there are many many different ways to do it.
It sounds like you have a decent idea of how you want it to work. Give it a whirl and see what happens. I reckon you can have a decent bash at it.
If you get stuck let us know and we'll try to help :)
I wonder which component is being used to create a selector option like the one used in iBooks where we can adjust the Font Size and also the Theme, but without moving to a new view controller.
In my application I would like to implement it giving 3 small options to the user to choose, but without moving the view controller being presented. Its a small square area with an arrow at the bottom or top side giving the impression where it's coming from. (Let me know if I am not clear with the explanation).
Does anybody know how to use it??
Thank you all in advance
ibooks is using UIView. In that UIView you can add any controls you like. You need to use delegate methods so that I can perform communication between two objects(send message to another object). You will be able to make you custom UIView as controls.
After wasting lot of time searching, I am finally posting this question, hoping I get an answer.
I want to have a widget in iOS, which has the similar functionality of Sliding Drawer in Android. (Like the bar at the bottom, and on pulling it, it shows up a new view).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I recently made a drawer container controller and put it up on Github:
https://github.com/saldavonschwartz/DrawerContainerController
While not exactly the same (you are asking about a vertical single view sliding up/down), you might want to download the code and take a look. My approach might as well work for what you are trying to do: basically, creating a container controller which can host another controller and its view and present its view in a custom way.
Specifically, you might want to look at:
-replaceContainedController:forIdentifier: for how you would go about adding child view controllers the 'Apple' way.
-didPanContent: and -translateContentContainerViewToPosition:animated:completion: for the sliding animation from input of a UIPanGestureRecognizer
