I can't seem to get a simple answer to this anywhere. I have a Page View Controller and similar lay-outs for all of the other view-controllers.
This is working without problems if I have one view-controller per view, but it seems very inefficient given that all the lay-outs are the same.
I've seen tutorials like this, but not for Swift. Is it possible to use a single view controller for all the pages and just switch out the text or images? If so, can you please explain how this is done?
All you have to do is make each page link to the same viewController and then dynamically change the content on each page based on the page number associated with it. You could easily have some elements that were hidden or diabled on certain views.

Okay so I know that you can embed a ViewController inside a view. But the situation I have is a little different
I have an app which is using an external monitor. When the monitor is connected, I'd like to display the ExternalMonitor ViewController inside another view on my iPad screen. Like a Live Preview. I can't work out how to get it to display the ViewController on both my ExternalMonitor and my PreviewView at the same time.
Basically:
1 ViewController displayed in 2 places at the same time, scaled to fit the two different views.
Is this possible. Can someone point me in the right direction?
I apologise if my terminology isn't right. I am quite new to Xcode and swift.
While someone might offer a better solution to this, you might try displaying 2 instances of the same view controller class in 2 different places. It won't work of course, if this controller should respond to user actions. They will not be in sync that way.
You can use a common UIView in multiple view controllers for e.g we do use in making common headers and footers , but according to my point of view this is not possible to use 2 instances of a view controller at the same time . It will got clashed , may be it will work sequencely one after another but not on same time.
I am attempting to build an application in swift that is essentially a book and some pages of this book allow for user input that is stored in the application.
I am new to swift and am unsure of the best way to approach this problem. So far I have tried using a Page View Controller and separate View Controllers corresponding to each page. The Page View Controller class navigates through the pages using Storyboard IDs to instantiate the View Controllers in an array. This works in creating a navigable book but I run into issues when trying to create outlets from the text fields on some pages since essentially the View Controller is instantiated each time its accessed and so it does not permanently exist.
I am totally and utterly lost as to where I should go from here. Any advice/wisdom will be deeply appreciated.
Thank you
simplest Approach is Collection-view with pagingnation(self.collectionView.pagingEnabled = YES).
https://medium.com/#shaibalassiano/tutorial-horizontal-uicollectionview-with-paging-9421b479ee94
create multiple cell one for your Page(reading) and second for input field.
it also helps for memory management. because cell are reusable. and cell that are visible to Screen are only loaded in memory.
you can also Create Custom layout for animation as per your requirement.
I am working on a project, in this project after login user has to answer 199 question.
there is for kind of questions like true/false, single selection, multiple selection, and short answer
so can you guys tell me what approach i should use to make views, becoz client strictly saying that each question will show on single screen.
Thanks
Yes I have create this type of Application.You just use the One Custom Cell and make design of your view and return your array in Tableview cell. so it is better to use custom cell. Otherwise you use PageView Controller to display Question.Even I have also use this and it works fine.
I am a very starter in iOS Developing.
Now I would like to make an app of a children's story book using PageViewController. I have read some tutorials of PageViewController, but unfortunately all of them are about putting images in the PageContentViewController. I want to use views instead of images, because the content will be modified sometimes. Also, I don't want the views overlapped together because I want the workflow be visible.
I wonder whether there is a way to achieve it??? Thanks in advance!!!
I am trying to develop a collapsable/accordion like feature in my iOS app. This would be your typical FAQ type feature that would be found on web sites. I would like to tap the heading and then the detail is displayed.
Since this is for the help section and there are only a few items I thought I would be super simple to embed an HTML file with some JS in it to perform the action and render it in a web view. I got that to work without an issue. It loads and works great. However, with the web view I can 'bounces'/pull down the view to reveal the background of the main view. Now, this would not be a problem normally but since the designers use some gradients it looks awful. I set bounces to false and all is well but not super smooth when scrolling.
Here is an example of the accordion I am talking about.
I then found this project.
Which is a little more on the right track. But the table view height stays fixed and does not act like the other accordion view.
My question is this....am I missing something? Should I be looking at a different design pattern? Any ideas are appreciated.
I never found the answer. I ended up creating a basic master - details table view instead.
I created an array with 4 dictionary objects. Each object has a title and an array of the items for the details.
My main table view is showing the 4 dictionary object titles and the detail view is showing the rest of the array elements. Seems fine. I was hoping to find a dynamically sizing table view but no such luck. Maybe for the next release.
