For prototyping I am looking to create a invisible interaction area.
If I set the alpha to 0, you can't interact withit.
If you set it to
hidden, it also does not receive gesture events.
Why do you want to use a View for this, Instead you could just use a UIButton and set frame to your current view's frame & set its background color to clearColor like below,
self.invisibleButton.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
This will do the same action & reduce little works like adding Tap gesture and setting some properties for the view if you go with View.
The best solution I have found is to set the background color to an invisible color. You can't see the button but you can interact with it.
In the init I put:
self.backgroundColor = UIColor.blueColor().colorWithAlphaComponent(0)
Is there any better way to do this?
Create a UIView enable userInteraction and make clear background color
UIView *viewsample=[[UIView alloc]init];
viewsample.frame= CGRectMake(0, 0, 200, 200);
viewsample.backgroundColor= [UIColor clearColor];
viewsample.userInteractionEnabled=YES;
[self.view addSubview:viewsample];
UITapGestureRecognizer *tapSkip = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:#selector(iviewsampleClicked:)];
[viewsample addGestureRecognizer:tapSkip];
method called when it touched
-(void)iviewsampleClicked:(UIGestureRecognizer*)gesture{
}

I am Using Circular slider in three classes. where i have three different Slider images and i want to add Circular Slider view (which is inherit from UIVIEW) on uiimageview.
This is my code:::
CircularSliderView *sliderView = [[CircularSliderView alloc] initWithMinValue:0 maxValue:100 initialValue:0];
sliderView.backgroundColor=[UIColor clearColor];
sliderView.frame=CGRectMake(88,160, 140, 150);
[self.view addSubview:sliderView];
It is not Working. if i adding it on Main view. it is working Properly.
I really don't know how it is going like this,please help me out!
if you are adding sliderView in self.imageview
[self.imageview addSubview:sliderView];
then write
self.imageview.userInteractionEnabled = true
By default UIImageview user interaction is disable
i hope this will work
I want to add a "shadow" image on my view, but, i want part of my view to still be "visible". You better understand what i want to do, when look on screenshot:
I can add a UIView above my superview, but how could i make specific point "visible"? That actually mean make specific area of a view with different colour or opaque.
For your problem I had a way, try the below example.
1. First storyboard design: I had a UIButton
2. Added black View as a subview
UIView *blackView=[[UIView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.bounds.size.width, self.view.bounds.size.height)];
blackView.backgroundColor=[UIColor blackColor];
blackView.alpha=0.6f;
[self.view addSubview:blackView];
now result will be:
3. Add one more UIImageView with frame equal to button frame
UIImageView *imageView=[[UIImageView alloc]init];
imageView.frame=self.button.frame; //getting current UIButton bounds
imageView.image=[UIImage imageNamed:#"add_img.png"];
[self.view addSubview:imageView];
Now it looks same as what you want:
You have to add some views. A main view will be the container of your less-alpha view and of the opaque button.
MainView
|
------- UIView with 0.6 alpha
|
------- UIButton with 1 alpha
Indeed, if you change the alpha of the MainView, all subviews will be affected. Here, UIView with 0.6 will have the same frame as MainView but it will not affect UIButton alpha.
Make a new View, a parent View with clear color background. Add the black view and the button to the parent view and set the black view's alpha to 0.6 or whatever.
Try this:
Make a UIView called buttonBackgroundView, give it a black color and then
[self.view addsubView:buttonBackgroundView];
now make a UIView named plusView (or UIButton if this plus sign is a button) then
[self.view addsubView:plusView];
After that, give the alpha to the buttonBackgroundView
buttonBackgroundView.alpha = 0.6;
Happy coding!
i try to set the UITableView Footerview backgroundcolor to clearColor but it stays white, any
other color works fine, any ideas?
_footerView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, _incredientsTable.frame.size.width, 60)];
[_footerView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
Thanks.
Ask yourself these questions:
What do you expect to see through the footer view? Is it the table's background? The underlying view controller's views? In the latter case there are more views between your and the object that you want to be visible under the footer view. That is at least the UITable itself and probably the background of self.view (which in most cases but not all is the table)
You need to set background color of table view in this case.
tblView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
Every screen of my app has a common tint. Its not a background. Its a pattern that fills the entire screen and it is top of all the views. You can see the pattern flow continuously from one view to another inside the same screen. And it neither obscures other elements nor participate in event handling.
I tried implementing it with this code in my ViewController.
UIColor* texture = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"Texture.png"]];
UIView* tintView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:self.view.bounds];
[tintView setBackgroundColor:texture];
[tintView setAlpha:0.5];
[self.view addSubview:tintView];
But it doesn't pass on touches to the views behind it.
tintView shouldn't participate in any event handling. Rather it should let other elements behind it, handle the events like they do it normally.
Other way of doing it is set this as a background of the view property of a UIViewController and set a common alpha for all other subviews of view to show the pattern behind. That will be redundant in most ways.
Any better way of doing this?
Make your tintView a subclass of UIView and implement the hitTest:withEvent: method, returning nil. This will make your view transparent to touches. Or set userInteractionEnabled to NO.
Set the background color with a Textured image
UIImage *bgimg = [UIImage imageNamed:#"Texture.png"];
self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:bgimg];
There is a UITextView in the view, the view controller is showing with Modal style. In my viewDidLoad method, I set the text of this UITextView, but, the text is not showing. Image below showing the error. Text color is black.
The weird thing is , when I long tap in the text view or tap [return] in keyboard, the text become visible. One thing I noticed is this error only occurred when the text I set is longer than the UITextView frame width, and the last word is not broken such as a long url.
I think the problem is maybe the word wrap not work correctly.
Thanks in advance.
Code like below:
UITextView *myTextView = [[UITextView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 10, 520, 220)];
myTextView.textColor = [UIColor blackColor];
myTextView.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:20];
myTextView.layer.cornerRadius = 5;
myTextView.delegate = self;
myTextView.text = #"long text should some like http://stackoverflow.com/posts/11200726/edit";
[self.view addSubview:myTextView];
[myTextView release];
RESOVLED. In viewDidLoad method, add code below:
CGRect tempFrame = myTextView.frame;
[myTextView setFrame:CGRectZero];
[myTextView setFrame:tempFrame];
Subclass UITextView, to a class of your own, let's say MyUITextView:UITextView.
Initialize it offscreen with
[[MyUITextView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero]
In MyUITextView override the method
-(void)willMoveToWindow:(UIWindow *)newWindow
and in it, set self.frame to the proper value.
this worked for me!
Are you sure the text color is black? Also make sure that the image is behind the textView in the view hierarchy. TextView handles Word wrap automatically.
I think in this case, the viewDidLoad is getting called before modelViewController is presented.
Set the text after modalViewController is presented.
If that also not working, then after presenting model, call a method to set the text explicitly.
Check your view hierarchy. You might have added another textView above that view.
Try changing the background color of textView. It must appear is UITextView is added there. And make sure you are not adding another view as a subview above your UITextView. If the textColor is black it must be visible, wordwrap is done by default automatically unless you change the property.Also try to check the attributes settings in XIB if added and plz show the code if adding programmatically.
I think problem in:
self.view
Try add this code line at top
self.view = [[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:[UIScreen mainScreen].bounds] autorelease];
And if not will help, try remove this code line
myTextView.layer.cornerRadius = 5;
