I am working with a SplitView controller. Inside my DetailView, I want to implement something similar to the image given below
In my DetailView Controller, I have divided my entire view into 3 subviews. In my middle subview, I want to implement a Tab Bar such that on the press of those three Tab Item(Error, Warning and Status), a different view should load.
I have tried searching for anyway to implement it, but failed. Any guide regarding how to achieve it will be really appreciated.
EDIT:
I have found that I can get the action of my Tab Items using the delegate method
- (void)tabBar:(UITabBar *)tabBar didSelectItem:(UITabBarItem *)item;
I implemented the above method inside my DetailViewController.m in following way:
- (void)tabBar:(UITabBar *)tabBar didSelectItem:(UITabBarItem *)item
{
if (_myTabBar.selectedItem.tag == 1) {
NSLog(#"TAB 1");
}
else if (_myTabBar.selectedItem.tag == 2) {
NSLog(#"TAB2");
}
else if (_myTabBar.selectedItem.tag == 3)
{
NSLog(#"TAB3");
}
else
{
NSLog(#"TAB NOT WORKING");
}
}
But the above method is not working. Someone please guide me if I am missing something.
Thanks in advance!
There are a few number of ways to achieve what you want, but I would not recommend that you use a TabBar to implement this.
You should use a UISegmentedControl. You may not be able to exactly skin it the way you want, but its the easiest way to achieve the functionality that you want.
Use 3 different buttons and place them inside your based on your need. In this case you would need to manually manage the selections (showing one on and others off), background images and other details yourself.
Either way, a Tab Bar is not probably the right way to go for this. Hope this helps. Thanks.
If you really want to use a UITabBar (but, as Gurtej suggested, UISegmentedControl seems to be more appropriate), here's an example :
// This is to calculate the proper position of each UILabel in your middle view (you don't really care about it)
static CGFloat labelYCurrentPosition;
static CGFloat labelYFirstPosition;
static CGFloat xMargin = 5.f;
static CGFloat labelXPosition;
static CGFloat labelWidth = 120.f;
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
self.middleView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 150.f, self.view.frame.size.width, 250.f)];
self.middleView.backgroundColor = [UIColor yellowColor];
[self.view addSubview:self.middleView];
UITabBar *tb = [[UITabBar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.middleView.frame.size.width, 49)];
tb.backgroundColor = [UIColor greenColor];
UITabBarItem *tbi1 = [[UITabBarItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"Error" image:nil tag:0];
UITabBarItem *tbi2 = [[UITabBarItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"Warning" image:nil tag:1];
UITabBarItem *tbi3 = [[UITabBarItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"Status" image:nil tag:3];
[tb setItems:#[tbi1, tbi2, tbi3]];
[tb setDelegate:self]; // Delegate of your UITabBar is your detailViewController
[self.middleView addSubview:tb];
labelYFirstPosition = tb.center.y + tb.frame.size.height;
labelYCurrentPosition = labelYFirstPosition;
labelXPosition = xMargin;
}
- (void)tabBar:(UITabBar *)tabBar didSelectItem:(UITabBarItem *)item{
CGFloat labelHeight = 20.f;
// This is to calculate x position of each label (you don't really care about it)
if (labelYCurrentPosition + labelHeight > self.middleView.frame.size.height){
labelXPosition += labelWidth;
labelYCurrentPosition = labelYFirstPosition;
}
UILabel *lab = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(labelXPosition, labelYCurrentPosition, labelWidth - 2 * xMargin, labelHeight)];
lab.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%# with tag %ld", item.title, (long)item.tag];
lab.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:12.f];
[self.middleView addSubview:lab];
labelYCurrentPosition += labelHeight;
}
You can achieve above image functionality by following steps:
Make the UIVIEW with three or more buttons (title will be same as your button name).
Give the tag value to each button i.e 1, 2, and 3 respectively
Make IBOutlet as well as action method of UIButton
When user press the button 1 (Errors) then make view1 visible else view2 and view3 as hidden
When user press the button 2 (Warning) then make view2 visible else view1 and view3 as hidden
Same goes for other button.
Please let me know in case of any query.
iOS 7.1 UPDATE: Looks like the workaround for modifying the alpha channel in the UINavigationBar has been ignored in this update. Right now, the best solution seems to be to just 'deal with it' and hope that whatever color you choose can render a translucent effect. I am still looking into ways of getting around this.
iOS 7.0.3 UPDATE: The GitHub library we created has been updated to slightly work around this issue when using iOS 7.0.3. Unfortunately, there is no magic formula to support both colors created in iOS 7.0.2 and earlier and iOS 7.0.3. Seems like Apple improved the saturation, but at the cost of opacity (since the blurred translucency is dependant on the opacity level). I, along with a few others, are working on creating a much better fix for this.
I'm sure many people have already come across the problem where iOS 7 tends to desaturate the color of a UINavigationBar that is translucent.
My goal is to achieve a UINavigationBar with this tint color, but translucent:
However, with translucency, I'm getting this. The background view is white, which I understand will make this view a bit lighter:
Is there any way to achieve the original color while still having translucency? I've noticed Facebook has been able to get their bar to be their rich, blue color, as displayed here:
..so I know there has to be some way. Background views obviously make a difference here, but most of their content is also gray/white. It seems that regardless of whatever bar tint color you put in, you are unable to get vivid colors under translucency.
Updated with solution.
Here's the solution that I ended up coming up with. I took aprato's solution and then encompassed the custom UINavigationBar within a UINavigationController subclass. I have created a repository that has this implementation listed below, along with an example app.
////////////////////////////

iOS 7.0.3 UPDATE: As you see above 7.0.3 changed things. I've updated my gist. Hopefully this will just go away as people upgrade.
Original Answer:
I ended up with a hack combining the two of the other answers. I'm subclassing UINavigationBar and adding a layer to the back with some extra space to cover if any of the various height status bars are up. The layer gets adjusted in layout subviews and the color changes whenever you set barTintColor.
Gist: https://gist.github.com/aprato/6631390
setBarTintColor
[super setBarTintColor:barTintColor];
if (self.extraColorLayer == nil) {
self.extraColorLayer = [CALayer layer];
self.extraColorLayer.opacity = self.extraColorLayerOpacity;
[self.layer addSublayer:self.extraColorLayer];
}
self.extraColorLayer.backgroundColor = barTintColor.CGColor;
layoutSubviews
[super layoutSubviews];
if (self.extraColorLayer != nil) {
[self.extraColorLayer removeFromSuperlayer];
self.extraColorLayer.opacity = self.extraColorLayerOpacity;
[self.layer insertSublayer:self.extraColorLayer atIndex:1];
CGFloat spaceAboveBar = self.frame.origin.y;
self.extraColorLayer.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0 - spaceAboveBar, CGRectGetWidth(self.bounds), CGRectGetHeight(self.bounds) + spaceAboveBar);
}
The behavior of tintColor for bars has changed on iOS 7.0. It no longer affects the bar's background and behaves as described for the tintColor property added to UIView. To tint the bar's background, please use -barTintColor.You can use following code to make the app work with both ios6 and ios7.
if(IS_IOS7)
{
self.navigationController.navigationBar.barTintColor = [UIColor blackColor];
self.navigationController.navigationBar.translucent = NO;
}
else
{
self.navigationController.navigationBar.tintColor = [UIColor blackColor];
}
IS_IOS7 is a macro which is defined in pch file as follows.
#define IS_IOS7 ([[UIDevice currentDevice].systemVersion floatValue] >= 7.0)
I didn't come up with this solution but it seems to work fairly well. I just added it to viewDidLoad on my subclass of UINavigationController.

// cheers to #stroughtonsmith for helping out with this one
UIColor *barColour = [UIColor colorWithRed:0.13f green:0.14f blue:0.15f alpha:1.00f];
UIView *colourView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.f, -20.f, 320.f, 64.f)];
colourView.opaque = NO;
colourView.alpha = .7f;
colourView.backgroundColor = barColour;
self.navigationBar.barTintColor = barColour;
[self.navigationBar.layer insertSublayer:colourView.layer atIndex:1];
One low-fi way would probably be pinning a UIView that is the height of the Navigation Bar to the top of the view behind the bar. Make that view the same color as the navigation bar but play with the alpha until you get the desired effects:
UIView *backgroundView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, CGRectGetWidth(self.navigationController.navigationBar.frame), 64)];
backgroundView.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0.0 green:0.0 blue:1 alpha:.5];
[self.navigationController.view insertSubview:backgroundView belowSubview:self.navigationController.navigationBar];
UIView behind
(Changed color from lower examples to emphasis transparency. Transparency/blurring is more noticeable when in movement.)
Subclassing the UINavigationBar and placing that same view above the background but behind everything else will probably achieve similar results while being less hacky.
Another solution I've seen tossed around is playing with the alpha of the UINavigationBar:
self.navigationController.navigationBar.alpha = 0.5f;
Edit: Actually, after testing it seems like this doesn't provide the intend behavior (or any behavior):
.8 alpha
Unadjusted alpha
Obviously, you will only want to do this on iOS 7 devices. So, add some version check before you implement any of these.
Instead of creating your UIColor object in the RGB format, use HSB and increase the saturation parameter. (Credits to Sam Soffes who describes this method here)
navigationBar.barTintColor = [UIColor colorWithHue:0.555f saturation:1.f brightness:0.855f alpha:1.f];
Note: This solution is a tradeoff and doesn't work well for colors with high saturation.
To pick the HSB color from your design you can use a tool like ColorSnapper which allows you to simply copy the UIColor HSB format.
You can also try the UIColor Category (GitHub Link) from David Keegan to modify existing colors.
The problem has now been fixed by Apple in the new 7.0.3 release.
I used #aprato's solution but found a few corner cases where the new layers from new VCs (eg. UINavigationItemButtonViews, UINavigationItemViews, etc) would be automatically inserted into a position below the extraColorLayer (which would cause those title or button elements to be affected by the extraColorLayer and thus fainter in color than they normally would be). So I adjusted #aprato's solution to force the extraColorLayer to stay at the index position 1. At index position 1, the extraColorLayer stays right above the _UINavigationBarBackground, but underneath everything else.
Here's my class implementation:
- (void)setBarTintColor:(UIColor *)barTintColor
{
[super setBarTintColor:barTintColor];
if (self.extraColorLayer == nil)
{
self.extraColorLayer = [CALayer layer];
self.extraColorLayer.opacity = kDefaultColorLayerOpacity;
[self.layer insertSublayer:self.extraColorLayer atIndex:1]; // This way the text comes out clear
}
self.extraColorLayer.backgroundColor = barTintColor.CGColor;
}
- (void)layoutSubviews
{
[super layoutSubviews];
if (self.extraColorLayer != nil)
{
self.extraColorLayer.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0 - kSpaceToCoverStatusBars, CGRectGetWidth(self.bounds), CGRectGetHeight(self.bounds) + kSpaceToCoverStatusBars);
}
}
- (void)insertSubview:(UIView *)view aboveSubview:(UIView *)siblingSubview
{
[super insertSubview:view aboveSubview:siblingSubview];
[self.extraColorLayer removeFromSuperlayer];
[self.layer insertSublayer:self.extraColorLayer atIndex:1]; // This way the text comes out clear
}
- (void)insertSubview:(UIView *)view atIndex:(NSInteger)index
{
[super insertSubview:view atIndex:index];
[self.extraColorLayer removeFromSuperlayer];
[self.layer insertSublayer:self.extraColorLayer atIndex:1]; // This way the text comes out clear
}
- (void)insertSubview:(UIView *)view belowSubview:(UIView *)siblingSubview
{
[super insertSubview:view belowSubview:siblingSubview];
[self.extraColorLayer removeFromSuperlayer];
[self.layer insertSublayer:self.extraColorLayer atIndex:1]; // This way the text comes out clear
}
I've improved your code in my fork: https://github.com/allenhsu/CRNavigationController
With my modification, the result color on screen (picked on white background) will be exactly the same value passed into setBarTintColor. I think it's an amazing solution.
None of these hacks are required :). Simply set:
self.navigationController.navigationBar.translucent = NO;
For iOS 7, the default translucency has been kept to TRUE.
On a related note, you can set your title text color (with shadow) easily via:
NSShadow *titleShadow = [[NSShadow alloc] init];
titleShadow.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(0.0f, -1.0f);
titleShadow.shadowColor = [UIColor blackColor];
NSDictionary *navbarTitleTextAttributes = #{NSForegroundColorAttributeName: [UIColor whiteColor],
NSShadowAttributeName: titleShadow};
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:navbarTitleTextAttributes];
I came across this Q/A while trying to setup an uniformly colored navigation bar with transparency DISABLED on iOS 7.
After experimenting a while with barTintColor I figured out that a very easy way of having an opaque navigation bar is to make a single pixel image of the desired color, make a stretchable image out of it, and setting it to the backgroundImage of the navigation bar.
UIImage *singlePixelImage = [UIImage imageNamed:#"singlePixel.png"];
UIImage *resizableImage = [singlePixelImage resizableImageWithCapInsets:UIEdgeInsetsZero];
[navigationBar setBackgroundImage:resizableImage forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
Three lines of code, very simple and works BOTH on iOS 6 and iOS 7 (barTintColor is unsupported on iOS 6).
Theres a great Dropin UINavigationController replacement available from Simon Booth available at GitHub Here GitHub - C360NavigationBar
If you're backward supporting iOS6 do a check on the root view controller as such:
PatientListTableViewController *frontViewController = [[PatientListTableViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationController *navViewController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithNavigationBarClass:[C360NavigationBar class] toolbarClass:nil];
if ([navViewController.view respondsToSelector:#selector(setTintColor:)]) {
//iOS7
[navViewController.view setTintColor:self.navBarTintColor];
[[C360NavigationBar appearance] setItemTintColor:self.navBarItemTintColor];
} else {
//iOS6
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarStyle:UIStatusBarStyleBlackOpaque animated:NO];
navViewController.navigationBar.tintColor = self.navBarTintColor;
}
[navViewController pushViewController:frontViewController animated:NO];
self.window.rootViewController = navViewController;
As #bernhard mentioned above it's possible to saturate the bar tint color to get desired navigation bar appearance.
I wrote an BarTintColorOptimizer utility for that kind of adjustment. It optimizes translucent bar tint color to make the bar's actual color match the desired color in iOS 7.x and later. Look at this answer for details.
Frankly speaking, above answers might be right but following trick worked for me with very ease.
// this is complete 100% transparent image
self.imageBlack = [[UIImage imageNamed:#"0102_BlackNavBG"]
resizableImageWithCapInsets:UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 2, 0, 2)
resizingMode:UIImageResizingModeStretch];
// this is non-transparent but iOS7
// will by default make it transparent (if translucent is set to YES)
self.imageRed = [[UIImage imageNamed:#"0102_RedNavBG"]
resizableImageWithCapInsets:UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 2, 0, 2)
resizingMode:UIImageResizingModeStretch];
// some navigation controller
[nvCtrLeft.navigationBar setBackgroundImage:self.imageRed
forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
// some another navigation controller
[nvCtrCenter.navigationBar setBackgroundImage:self.imageRed
forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
Here are the images used for self.imageRed and self.imageBlack.
< > black image is in this brackets won't be visible as it is transparent :)
< > red image is in this brackets.
is there a way to use #aprato solution without subclassing UINavigationBar.
In my project my main view is a UIViewController.
the problem is that the navigationController is a readonly property, is there a way to use you class with my project because i can't use : [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithNavigationBarClass:
thanks
An easy way to get the color you want is using
[<NAVIGATION_BAR> setBackgroundImage:<UIIMAGE> forBarPosition:<UIBARPOSITION> barMetrics:<UIBARMETRICS>];
As long as your image has some alpha, the translucency will work and you can set the alpha by changing the image. This was just added in iOS7. The width and height for the image are 640x88px for vertical (add 20 to the 88 if you want it to be underneath the status bar).
The is the first of several problems I'm having setting up some UIViews and subviews. I have a UIView that is dynamically positioned on screen at run time. That UIView (master) contains another UIView (child) which wraps a UIImageView and a UILabel. Here are the requirements I have for this arrangement:
The child UIView must stay centered in the master UIView when the device rotates.
The text in the UILabel can be very long or very short and the child UIView with the image and text must still remain centered.
I would like to avoid subclassing UIView to handle this scenario and I would also like to avoid any frame/positioning code in willRotateToInterfaceOrientation. I'd like to handle all of this with some autoresizingMask settings in I.B. and maybe a little forced resizing code, if possible.
This is the arrangement of controls in Interface Builder(highlighted in red):
With Interface Builder, the autoresizingMask properties have been set like so, for the described controls
UIView (master): Flexible top margin, Flexible left margin, Flexible right margin, Flexible width
UIView (child): Flexible top margin, Flexible bottom margin, Flexible left margin, Flexible right margin, Flexible width, Flexible height. (All modes, except None)
UIImageView: Flexible right margin
UILabel: Flexible right margin
This is the view (red bar with image and text) after it's been added programmatically at run time while in portrait mode:
The master UIView's background is a light-red colored image. The child UIView's background is slightly darker than that, and the UILabel's background is even darker. I colored them so that I could see their bounds as the app responded to rotation.
It's clear to me that:
It is not centered but ...
After changing the text from it's default value in I.B from "There is no data in this map extent." to "TEST1, 123." the label contracts correctly.
This is the view after it's been added while in portrait and then rotated to landscape mode:
From here I can see that:
It is still not centered and perhaps at its original frame origin prior to rotation
The UIView (child) has expanded to fill more of the screen when it shouldn't.
The UIView (master) has properly expanded to fill the screen width.
This is the code that got me where I am now. I call the method showNoDataStatusView from viewDidLoad:
// Assuming
#define kStatusViewHeight 20
- (void)showNoDataStatusView {
if (!self.noDataStatusView.superview) {
self.noDataStatusView.frame = CGRectMake(self.mapView.frame.origin.x,
self.mapView.frame.origin.y,
self.mapView.frame.size.width,
kStatusViewHeight);
self.noDataStatusView.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"bgRedStatus.png"]];
// Position the label view in the center
self.noDataStatusLabelView.center = CGPointMake(self.noDataStatusView.frame.size.width/2,
self.noDataStatusView.frame.size.height/2);
// Test different text
self.noDataStatusLabel.text = #"Testing, 123.";
// Size to fit label
[self.noDataStatusLabel sizeToFit];
// Test the status label view resizing
[self.noDataStatusLabelView resizeToFitSubviews];
// Add view as subview
[self.view addSubview:self.noDataStatusView];
}
}
Please note the following:
resizeToFitSubviews is a category I placed on UIView once I found that UIView's won't automatically resize to fit their subviews even when you call sizeToFit. This question, and this question explained the issue. See the code for the category, below.
I have thought about creating a UIView subclass that handles all this logic for me, but it seems like overkill. It should be simple to arrange this in I.B. right?
I have tried setting every resizing mask setting in the book, as well as adjusting the order in which the resizing of the label and view occur as well as the point at which the master view is added as a subview. Nothing seems to be working as I get odd results every time.
UIView resizeToFitSubviews category implementation method:
-(void)resizeToFitSubviews
{
float width = 0;
float height = 0;
// Loop through subviews to determine max height/width
for (UIView *v in [self subviews]) {
float fw = v.frame.origin.x + v.frame.size.width;
float fh = v.frame.origin.y + v.frame.size.height;
width = MAX(fw, width);
height = MAX(fh, height);
}
[self setFrame:CGRectMake(self.frame.origin.x, self.frame.origin.y, width, height)];
}
What I want to know is why the UIView (child) is not properly centered after it's superview is added to the view hierarchy. It looks as though its got the proper width, but is somehow retaining the frame it had in I.B. when the label read "There is no data in this map extent."
I want to also know why it's not centered after device rotation and whether or not the approach I'm taking here is wise. Perhaps this is causing the other issues I'm having. Any UIView layout help here would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
If you are able to target iOS 6 you could use the new Auto Layout functionality to make this much much easier to manage - I've been reading a great tutorial by Ray Wenderlich that seems to be perfect to solve the problem you are seeing.
The problem here is that my UIView (master) does not layout it's subviews automatically when the device rotates and the "springs & struts" layout method used to position the image and interior UIView was inefficient. I solved the problem by doing two things.
I got rid of the internal UIView (child) instance, leaving only the UIView (master) and inside of that a UILabel and UIImageView.
I then created a UIView subclass called StatusView and in it I implement the layoutSubviews method. In its constructor I add a UIImageView and UILabel and position them dynamically. The UILabel is positioned first based on the size of the text and then the UIImageView is placed just to the left of it and vertically centered. That's it. In layoutSubviews I ensure that the positions of the elements are adjusted for the new frame.
Additionally, since I need to swap the background, message and possibly the image in some circumstances, it made sense to go with a custom class. There may be memory issues here/there but I'll iron them out when I run through this with the profiling tool.
Finally, I'm not totally certain if this code is rock solid but it does work. I don't know if I need the layout code in my init method, either. Layout subviews seems to be called shortly after the view is added as a subview.
Here's my class header:

Then in my view controller I can do this:
CGRect statusFrame = CGRectMake(self.mapView.frame.origin.x,
self.mapView.frame.origin.y,
self.mapView.frame.size.width,
kStatusViewHeight);
self.staticStatusView = [[StatusView alloc] initWithFrame:statusFrame message:#"600 records found :)" type:StatusViewRecordCountType];
self.staticStatusView.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleLeftMargin | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleRightMargin;
[self.view addSubview:self.staticStatusView];
... and later on I can change it up by doing this:
self.staticStatusView.statusMessage = #"No data was found here";
self.staticStatusView.statusViewType = StatusViewNoDataFoundType;
Now I've got a reusable class rather than 12 UIView instances floating around my NIB with various settings and properties.
For God's sake somebody tell me how to add a picture on an UIActionSheet.
I am adding it, but can't force the sheet to restretch its height, so the Subview would fit.
var sheet = new UIActionSheet ("Sheet with a picture");
sheet.AddButton ("Pick New Picture");
var subView = new UIView(new RectangleF(20,100,280,200)){
BackgroundColor = UIColor.FromPatternImage(Picture)};
sheet.AddSubview(subView);
sheet.AddButton ("Cancel");
sheet.CancelButtonIndex = 1;
I've tried to change contentMode of subView and the sheet. Didn't work. What am I doing wrong?
Picture should fit between buttons, or fit on the sheet somehow through any other way around
I know this sounds really stupid, but the easiest solution I found is to add a few dummy buttons (to preserve space) and then on top of them add the UIImageView accurately defining the frame coordinates.
var sheet = new UIActionSheet ("");
sheet.AddButton ("Discard Picture");
sheet.AddButton ("Pick New Picture");
sheet.AddButton ("Cancel");
sheet.CancelButtonIndex = 2;
// Dummy buttons to preserve the space for the UIImageView
for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
sheet.AddButton("");
sheet.Subviews[i+4].Alpha = 0; // And of course it's better to hide them
}
var subView = new UIImageView(Picture);
subView.ContentMode = UIViewContentMode.ScaleAspectFill;
subView.Frame = new RectangleF(23,185,275,210);
// Late Steve Jobs loved rounded corners. Let's have some respect for him
subView.Layer.CornerRadius = 10;
subView.Layer.MasksToBounds = true;
subView.Layer.BorderColor = UIColor.Black.CGColor;
sheet.AddSubview(subView);
UIActionSheet doesn't support customization of this type. You can subclass UIActionSheet and muck with the default layout (override layoutSubviews, call the super implementation, then move things around). If you do this, there's no guarantee your sublcass will work in future versions of iOS if Apple changes the framework implementation.
The other alternative is to find or implement an alternative class that does what you want.
Actually it is quite easy and you don't need a hack:
Change the size of the UIActionSheet AFTER calling showInView (or showFromTabBar, etc), like they do in this example.
You might have to change the Frame instead of the Bounds, in my experience the action sheet is not moved to the right position if you change the Bounds.
On the iPad this doesn't work unfortunately. But there you can use a UIPopoverController. (Tip: you can use 0 for the UIPopoverArrowDirection if you do not want arrows).
This is Agzam's answer, but refreshed for most recent objc and without the background button hack, as suggested by Marcel W. it is shorter and possibly cleaner.
UIActionSheet *actionSheet = [[UIActionSheet alloc] init];
actionSheet.actionSheetStyle = UIActionSheetStyleAutomatic;
actionSheet.title = #"some text";//here type your information text
actionSheet.delegate = self;
[actionSheet addButtonWithTitle:#"Button 1"];
[actionSheet addButtonWithTitle:#"Button 2"];
[actionSheet setCancelButtonIndex:1];
//it is up to you how you show it, I like the tabbar
[actionSheet showFromTabBar:self.tabBarController.tabBar];
//here lays the trick - you change the size after you've called show
[actionSheet setBounds:CGRectMake(0,0,320, 480)];
//now create and add your image
UIImageView *subView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"exampleimage.png"]];
subView.ContentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit;
subView.Frame = CGRectMake(0,130,320,180);//adjust these, so that your text fits in
[actionSheet addSubview: (subView)];
[subView release];
[actionSheet release];
I have a rectangle image (jpg) and want to use it to fill the background of a button with rounded corner in xcode.
I wrote the following:
UIButton *button = [[UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect] retain];
CGRect frame = CGRectMake(x, y, cardWidth, cardHeight);
button.frame = frame;
[button setBackgroundImage:backImage forState:UIControlStateNormal];
However, the button I get with that approach doesn't have its corners rounded: it is instead a plain rectangle that looks exactly like my original image. How can I get instead an image with rounded corner to represent my button?
Thanks!
I tried the following solution with the UITextArea and I expect this will work with UIButton as well.
First of all import this in your .m file -
#import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>
and then in your loadView method add following lines
yourButton.layer.cornerRadius = 10; // this value vary as per your desire
yourButton.clipsToBounds = YES;
You can achieve by this RunTime Attributes
we can make custom button.just see screenshot attached.
kindly pay attention :
in runtime attributes to change color of border follow this instruction
create category class of CALayer
in h file
#property(nonatomic, assign) UIColor* borderIBColor;
in m file:
-(void)setBorderIBColor:(UIColor*)color {
self.borderColor = color.CGColor;
}
-(UIColor*)borderIBColor {
return [UIColor colorWithCGColor:self.borderColor];
}
now onwards to set border color check screenshot
thanks
Pushing to the limits corner radius up to get a circle:
self.btnFoldButton.layer.cornerRadius = self.btnFoldButton.frame.height/2.0;
If button frame is an square it does not matter frame.height or frame.width. Otherwise use the largest of both ones.
You may want to check out my library called DCKit. It's written on the latest version of Swift.
You'd be able to make a rounded corner button/text field from the Interface builder directly:
It also has many other cool features, such as text fields with validation, controls with borders, dashed borders, circle and hairline views etc.
UIButton* closeBtn = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 50, 90, 35)];
//Customise this button as you wish then
closeBtn.layer.cornerRadius = 10;
closeBtn.layer.masksToBounds = YES;//Important
Import QuartCore framework if it is not there in your existing project, then import #import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h> in viewcontroller.m
UIButton *button = [[UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect]];
CGRect frame = CGRectMake(x, y, width, height); // set values as per your requirement
button.layer.cornerRadius = 10;
button.clipsToBounds = YES;
First set width=100 and Height=100 of button
Objective C Solution
YourBtn1.layer.cornerRadius=YourBtn1.Frame.size.width/2;
YourBtn1.layer.borderColor=[uicolor blackColor].CGColor;
YourBtn1.layer.borderWidth=1.0f;
Swift 4 Solution
YourBtn1.layer.cornerRadius = YourBtn1.Frame.size.width/2
YourBtn1.layer.borderColor = UIColor.black.cgColor
YourBtn1.layer.borderWidth = 1.0
Try my code. Here you can set all properties of UIButton like text colour, background colour, corner radius, etc.
extension UIButton {
func btnCorner() {
layer.cornerRadius = 10
clipsToBounds = true
backgroundColor = .blue
}
}
Now call like this
yourBtnName.btnCorner()
For Objective C:
submitButton.layer.cornerRadius = 5;
submitButton.clipsToBounds = YES;
For Swift:
submitButton.layer.cornerRadius = 5
submitButton.clipsToBounds = true
If you want a rounded corner only to one corner or two corners, etc... read this post:
[ObjC] – UIButton with rounded corner - http://goo.gl/kfzvKP
It's a XIB/Storyboard subclass. Import and set borders without write code.
For Swift:
button.layer.cornerRadius = 10.0
updated for Swift 3 :
used below code to make UIButton corner round:
yourButtonOutletName.layer.cornerRadius = 0.3 *
yourButtonOutletName.frame.size.height
Swift 4 Update
I also tried many options still i wasn't able to get my UIButton round cornered.
I added the corner radius code inside the viewDidLayoutSubviews() Solved My issue.
func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {
super.viewDidLayoutSubviews()
anyButton.layer.cornerRadius = anyButton.frame.height / 2
}
Also we can adjust the cornerRadius as follows:
func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {
super.viewDidLayoutSubviews()
anyButton.layer.cornerRadius = 10 //Any suitable number as you prefer can be applied
}
An alternative answer which sets a border too (making it more like a button) is here ... How to set rectangle border for custom type UIButton
For iOS SWift 4
button.layer.cornerRadius = 25;
button.layer.masksToBounds = true;
You can use outlet connection and didSet function for your button on the view;
#IBOutlet weak var button: UIButton!{
didSet {
button.layer.cornerRadius = 5;
button.layer.masksToBounds = true;
}
}
