disable the UIview elements from another view in ios - ios

I am trying to disable the user interaction to the view from one view. Below is my code.
DashboardViewControler.m
if([selectedTitle isEqual:#"VIEW"])
{
LatLongViewController * latview =[[LatLongViewController alloc]init];
latview.view.userInteractionEnabled = NO;
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:#"SWRevealViewController" sender:self];
}
In the latview, I have UITextField and UILabel. I want to disable the user interaction while above scenario matches. Any help will be appreciated.

latview.view.userInteractionEnabled = NO;
You can't do it with IBOutlet. All IBOutlet are
operated by ViewController. Here is my solution:
-Create new BOOL in LatLongViewController.h file:
#property BOOL editMode;
-In DashboardViewControler.m
if([selectedTitle isEqual:#"VIEW"])
{
LatLongViewController * latview =[[LatLongViewController alloc]init];
latview.editMode = NO;
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:#"SWRevealViewController" sender:self];
}
-In LatLongViewController.m
- (void)viewDidLoad {
if(_editMode == NO){
view.userInteractionEnabled = NO;
}
}
I think you should use textfield.enable = NO; if u have only one UITextField in this view.

Assuming your UIViewController owns the concerned views as properties:
yourTextfield.userInteractionEnabled = NO;
A beginners guide how to connect an view IBOutlet from Storyboard can be found here.
To disable user interaction for all subviews, iterate over them:
for (UIView *view in [self.view subviews]) {
view.userInteractionEnabled = NO;
}

iOS - Switch between dismiss and scroll gestures

There's a behavior in the Line messenger app (the de facto messenger app in Japan) that I'm trying to emulate.
Basically, they have a modal view controller with a scroll view inside. When the scroll action reaches the top of its content, the view controller seamlessly switches to an interactive dismissal animation. Also, when the gesture returns the view to the top of the screen, control is returned to the scroll view.
Here's a gif of how it looks.
For the life of me, I can't figure out how they did it. I've tried a few different methods, but they've all failed, and I'm out of ideas. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
EDIT2
To clarify, the behavior that I want to emulate isn't just simply dragging the window down. I can do that, no problem.
I want to know how the same scroll gesture (without lifting the finger) triggers the dismissal transition and then transfers control back to the scroll view after the view has been dragged back to the original position.
This is the part that I can't figure out.
End EDIT2
EDIT1
Here's what I have so far. I was able to use the scroll view delegate methods to add a target-selector that handles the regular dismissal animation, but it still doesn't work as expected.
I create a UIViewController with a UIWebView as a property. Then I put it in a UINavigationController, which is presented modally.
The navigation controller uses animation/transition controllers for the regular interactive dismissal (which can be done by gesturing over the navigation bar).
From here, everything works fine, but the dismissal can't be triggered from the scroll view.
NavigationController.h
#interface NavigationController : UINavigationController <UIViewControllerTransitioningDelegate>
#property (nonatomic, strong) UIPanGestureRecognizer *gestureRecog;
- (void)handleGesture:(UIPanGestureRecognizer*)gestureRecognizer;
#end
NavigationController.m
#import "NavigationController.h"
#import "AnimationController.h"
#import "TransitionController.h"
#implementation NavigationController {
AnimationController *_animator;
TransitionController *_interactor;
}
- (instancetype)init {
self = [super init];
self.transitioningDelegate = self;
_animator = [[AnimationController alloc] init];
_interactor = [[TransitionController alloc] init];
return self;
}
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
// Set the gesture recognizer
self.gestureRecog = [[UIPanGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:#selector(handleGesture:)];
[self.view addGestureRecognizer:_gestureRecog];
}
- (id<UIViewControllerInteractiveTransitioning>)interactionControllerForDismissal:(id<UIViewControllerAnimatedTransitioning>)animator {
if (animator == _animator && _interactor.hasStarted) {
return _interactor;
}
return nil;
}
- (id<UIViewControllerAnimatedTransitioning>)animationControllerForDismissedController:(UIViewController *)dismissed {
if (dismissed == self || [self.viewControllers indexOfObject:dismissed] != NSNotFound) {
return _animator;
}
return nil;
}
- (void)handleGesture:(UIPanGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecog {
CGFloat threshold = 0.3f;
CGPoint translation = [gestureRecog translationInView:self.view];
CGFloat verticalMovement = translation.y / self.view.bounds.size.height;
CGFloat downwardMovement = fmaxf(verticalMovement, 0.0f);
CGFloat downwardMovementPercent = fminf(downwardMovement, 1.0f);
switch (gestureRecog.state) {
case UIGestureRecognizerStateBegan: {
_interactor.hasStarted = YES;
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
break;
}
case UIGestureRecognizerStateChanged: {
if (!_interactor.hasStarted) {
_interactor.hasStarted = YES;
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}
_interactor.shouldFinish = downwardMovementPercent > threshold;
[_interactor updateInteractiveTransition:downwardMovementPercent];
break;
}
case UIGestureRecognizerStateCancelled: {
_interactor.hasStarted = NO;
[_interactor cancelInteractiveTransition];
break;
}
case UIGestureRecognizerStateEnded: {
_interactor.hasStarted = NO;
if (_interactor.shouldFinish) {
[_interactor finishInteractiveTransition];
} else {
[_interactor cancelInteractiveTransition];
}
break;
}
default: {
break;
}
}
}
#end
Now, I have to get that gesture handling to trigger when the scroll view has reached the top. So, here's what I did in the view controller.
WebViewController.m
#import "WebViewController.h"
#import "NavigationController.h"
#interface WebViewController ()
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIWebView *webView;
#end
#implementation WebViewController {
BOOL _isHandlingPan;
CGPoint _topContentOffset;
}
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
[self.webView.scrollView setDelegate:self];
}
- (void)scrollViewDidScroll:(UIScrollView *)scrollView {
if ((scrollView.panGestureRecognizer.state == UIGestureRecognizerStateBegan ||
scrollView.panGestureRecognizer.state == UIGestureRecognizerStateChanged) &&
! _isHandlingPan &&
scrollView.contentOffset.y < self.navigationController.navigationBar.translucent ? -64.0f : 0) {
NSLog(#"Adding scroll target");
_topContentOffset = CGPointMake(scrollView.contentOffset.x, self.navigationController.navigationBar.translucent ? -64.0f : 0);
_isHandlingPan = YES;
[scrollView.panGestureRecognizer addTarget:self action:#selector(handleGesture:)];
}
}
- (void)scrollViewDidEndDragging:(UIScrollView *)scrollView willDecelerate:(BOOL)decelerate {
NSLog(#"Did End Dragging");
if (_isHandlingPan) {
NSLog(#"Removing action");
_isHandlingPan = NO;
[scrollView.panGestureRecognizer removeTarget:self action:#selector(handleGesture:)];
}
}
- (void)handleGesture:(UIPanGestureRecognizer*)gestureRecognizer {
[(NavigationController*)self.navigationController handleGesture:gestureRecognizer];
}
This still doesn't work quite right. Even during the dismissal animation, the scroll view is still scrolling with the gesture.
End EDIT1
That is a custom interactive transition.
First, you need set transitioningDelegate of UIViewController
id<UIViewControllerTransitioningDelegate> transitioningDelegate;
Then implment these two method to
//Asks your delegate for the transition animator object to use when dismissing a view controller.
- animationControllerForDismissedController:
//Asks your delegate for the interactive animator object to use when dismissing a view controller.
- interactionControllerForDismissal:
When drag to top, you start the transition, you may use UIPercentDrivenInteractiveTransition to control the progress during scrolling.
You can also refer to the source code of ZFDragableModalTransition
Image of ZFDragableModalTransition
As explained here the solution is quite complex. The person who answered, #trungduc, programmed a little demo published on github doing the sought behaviour. You can find it here.
The easiest way of making this work is to copy the 4 files found in /TestPanel/Presentation/ in the attached github repository, to your project. Then add the PanelAnimationControllerDelegate to your View Controller containing the scroll view (i.e. using the protocol).
Add the following to your View Controller, to satisfy the protocol:
func shouldHandlePanelInteractionGesture() -> Bool {
return (scrollView.contentOffset.y == 0);
}
Add this to deactivate the bouncing effect at the top:
func scrollViewDidScroll(_ scrollView: UIScrollView) {
scrollView.bounces = (scrollView.contentOffset.y > 10);
}
Set scrollView.delegate = self
Before presenting your View Controller containing the scroll view set the following propreties to your View Controller:
ScrollViewController.transitioningDelegate = self.panelTransitioningDelegate
ScrollViewController.modalPresentationStyle = .custom
If you want to change the size of your ScrollViewController, you will need to comment out the override of the frameOfPresentedViewInContainerView in the PanelPresentationController file (one of the 4). Then in the presentationTransitionWillBegin method, you will need to set let frameOfPresentedViewInContainerView = self.frameOfPresentedViewInContainerView.insetBy(dx: 0, dy: 20) with the wanted inset of dx and dy.
Thank you to trungduc for this amazing solution!!

Disable Button until all textfields have been Filled Xcode

I have looked everywhere for this answer but I haven't gotten a simple easy to follow answer to this question. I have 8 text fields that I need to fill out before I click and submit before moving onto the next page. I have hooked up each of the textfields to view controller.h file but I don't know how to disable the submit button easily step by step. Thank you so much for the help in advance.
I have tried this from a previous post but I could not get it to work..
Make an Outlet for every UITextField and create an IBAction in your .h:
IBOutlet UITextField *textField1;
IBOutlet UITextField *textField2;
IBOutlet UITextField *textField3;
IBOutlet UIButton *button
- (IBAction)editingChanged;
Connect all the outlets and connect the IBAction to every textfield with editingChanged:
- (IBAction)editingChanged {
if ([textfield1.text length] != 0 && [textfield2.text length] != 0 && [textfield3.text length] != 0) {
[button setEnabled:YES];
}
else {
[button setEnabled:NO];
}
}
Note that you can also use [textfield.text isEqualToString:#""] and put a ! in front of it (!means 'not' in objective-c) to recognize the empty textField, and say 'if the textField is empty do...'
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
[button setEnabled:NO];
}
try this,
1) You need to add textfiled delegate function to all your textfiled.
.h
#interface ViewController : UIViewController <UITextFieldDelegate>
.m
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
//set submit button disable
submitbtn.enable=NO
textfiled1.delegate = self;
textfiled2.delegate = self;
textfiled3.delegate = self;
textfiled4.delegate = self;
textfiled5.delegate = self;
textfiled6.delegate = self;
textfiled7.delegate = self;
textfiled8.delegate = self;
}
- (void)textFieldDidEndEditing:(UITextField *)textField
{
//check your all texfield length if not equal to zero in below if(condition)
if(alltextfiled_length != 0)
{
submitbtn.enable=YES
}
else
{
submitbtn.enable=NO
}
}
I suggest you read the documentation on connecting outlets.
To handle changes in the text fields your view controller class could conform to the UITextFieldDelegate protocol, assign your view controller as the delegate of each text field, and implement - (BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField which will be called when tapping the Return button on each text field's keyboard.

Change the view of a UIViewController dynamically in iOS 7

I have 2 Custom View classes(CustomView_A, CustomView_B) derived from UIView. I have UIViewController that should be able to switch between views at run-time..
What so far, I have done is.. in the Storyboard, I am using CustomView_A class as the View class.
#interface MyViewController: UIViewController
#property (nonatomic, weak) CustomView_A *customView_A;
Now I have the second CustomView_B class and I want to change view of MyViewController's view to CustomView_B at run-time.
How can I do that? Thanks in advance..
okay, here is the code as you want -
in your MyViewController.h put -
#property (nonatomic, retain) CustomView_A *customView_A;
#property (nonatomic, retain) CustomView_B *customView_B;
-(void)switchView; // to switch the views.
in your MyViewController.m put -
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
self.customView_A = [[CustomView_A alloc]initWithFrame:self.view.frame];
self.customView_A.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
UIButton *trigger = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect]; // Just take this button so that your switchView methods will get called on click of this method.
[trigger setFrame:CGRectMake(10, 10, 50, 30)];
[trigger setTitle:#"Click" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[trigger addTarget:self action:#selector(switchView) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[self.customView_A addSubview:trigger];
[self.view addSubview:self.customView_A];
self.customView_B = [[CustomView_B alloc]initWithFrame:self.view.frame];
self.customView_B.backgroundColor = [UIColor yellowColor];
self.customView_B.hidden = YES;
[self.view addSubview:self.customView_B];
}
- (void)switchView
{
[UIView animateWithDuration:10 delay:10 options:UIViewAnimationOptionCurveEaseInOut animations:^{
self.customView_A.hidden = YES;
self.customView_B.hidden = NO;
} completion:nil];
}
Do opposite when you again want to switch the views.
Don't. What you're describing is an essential misunderstanding of UIViewController. Once a UIViewController instance has a view, that is its view forever.
If you want two different views then either:
Use two view controllers (for example, you can present view controller B and its view on top of view controller A and its view, using a modal segue), or
Make at least one of those views not be owned by a view controller: just place that view in front of the other view and later remove it again, at will.
Try this:
- (IBAction)changeView {
if (self.customView_A.hidden == YES) {
self.customView_A.hidden = NO;
self.customView_B.hidden = YES;
//You should use a UIView animation here to do this.
}
else {
self.customView_A.hidden = YES;
self.customView_B.hidden = NO;
//Same here
)
}
In your viewDidLoad add the view to CGRectZero
- (void)viewDidLoad {
self.customView_A = [[CustomView_A alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectZero];
[self.view addSubview:self.customView_A];
//do the same with the other custom view
}
Sorry if the code is a little faulty, I didn't use Xcode to type this up.

Find if a ViewController is already on the stack of views

I want to check if my view has already been added to the view, so that the user cannot repeatedly add the new UIViewController onto the view.
if (!self.fmovc)
{
self.fmovc = [[FMOVC alloc] initWithNibName: #"FMOVC" bundle:nil];
}
BOOL viewAlreadyDisplayed = NO;
for (UIView * b in self.view.subviews)
{
if ([b isKindOfClass:[FMOVC class]])
{
viewAlreadyDisplayed = YES;
}
}
if (!viewAlreadyDisplayed)
{
[self.view addSubview:self.fmovc.view];
}
This is not working because it never triggers
viewAlreadyDisplayed = YES;
What is the correct way to go about finding if your view is already being displayed?
Thanks,
-Code
Before adding just removeItFromSuperView...It may solve your prob
[self.fmovc.view removeFromSuperview];
[self.view addSubview:self.fmovc.view];
Make the UIView member variable say thatView;
if(!thatView) {
thatView = [[UIView alloc] init];
[self.view addSubView:thatView];
}
Once you release the superview, release thatView & make thatView to nil.
OR
always check & remove thatView if present from superview before allocating thatView.
Hope this Helps !!!

UITextView not shown on screen

In my app I habe a view controller that calls several views. All these views are UIViews. That works fine, but not in every case. One of the views that are called has some labels, textfields and two UITextViews. Everything is shown correctly but the UITextViews. The view is called in that way:
[[self view] addSubview:tasteView];
//tasteView = [[TasteView alloc] init];
[self setCurrentView:tasteView];
I call the init method of the view to display the UITextViews:
EDIT: After a comment of Phillip Mills this was slightly changed! Init isn't called anymore.
- (id)init
{
if (self)
{
[tv1 setNeedsDisplay];
CGRect frame = tv1.frame;
frame.size.height += 1;
tv1.frame = frame;
}
return self;
}
As I saw that setNeedsDisplay had no effect, I changed the size of the corresponsing frame to force a redraw. Unfortunately that had no effect, too.
Btw, the view is initially loaded in the viewDidLoad of the view controller:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
[self setCurrentView:placeholder];
[self configureView];
wineryView = [self loadWineryView];
wineView = [self loadWineView];
tasteView = [self loadTasteView];
}
A method for loading the views looks like this:
- (UIView *) loadTasteView
{
NSArray *nibViews = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:#"TasteView" owner:self options:nil];
UIView *tView;
for (id view in nibViews)
{
if ([view isKindOfClass:[TasteView class]])
{
tView = (TasteView*) view;
}
}
return tView;
}
I do not know why those UITextViews are not shown. Did I forget something? To show really everything, here are the connections that I made in InterfaceBuilder:
Does anyone know what I did wrong and can help me?
I think your initial code should be like this :
tasteView = [[TasteView alloc] init];
[[self view] addSubview:tasteView];
[self setCurrentView:tasteView];
addSubView after it is allocated
Hope it helps you
If you are creating the view in code (your first sample), alloc and init the view before trying to add it as a subview.
If you're loading it from another nib (last code section), you still need to add it to the view hierarchy.
