How do I add a UIView as a sub view in xcode? I want thew subview to be added to the button itself?
Thanks
As per documentation at https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UIView_Class/index.html#//apple_ref/occ/instm/UIView/addSubview::
UIView *someView;
// ... set value of someView to the parent you want
UIView *childView;
// ... set value of someView to the parent you want
[someView addSubview:childView];

I want to ask, who the Views in the Storyboard, which are attached to a UIViewController are accessable. Who to add them to the UIViewContoller to its views programmaticliy with Objective C. The appear in the Storyboard like this:
and are in the tree in the same hirgachy as the UIViewController Node.
You can take outlet of that view in respective view controller class as you you take outlet of view put in viewcontroller's default view.
Then in your viewDidload you can add that view to your default view!
For example your outlet is outterView then in viewDidload,
[self.view addSubview:self.outerView];
Second thing if you are adding view in viewDidload and you need your view's size as screen size than in viewDidappear you can do like,
self.outerView.frame = self.view.frame;
Ok it was my fault, sorry folks.
I also need an IBOutlet to the to the ViewControllers view. So connect the them in InterfaceBuilder first and give the View the the customClass.
Referencing Outlets
view->UIViewContoller
HelloUIClass *viewThis = [[HelloUIClass alloc] init];
[self.view addSubview:viewThis]
…this is a start not sure about that.
You just have to do it right in Interface Builder!
DRAG AND DROP! the Reference Outlet in to your Headerfile under the #interface.
Open both windows. The Storyboard and your Controller Class .h file.
Grap an REFERENCING OUTLET from the View in File Inspector or right Mouse click and draw line into your Sourcecode. If you have done your class properly it will hook under your #interface line. AfterDroping you have give it a name "myViewInIB" and than you have just something like this:
#interface UIMainView : UIViewController;
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UICoustomView *myViewInIB;
than you can use it normaly in your Class (Obj C)
[self.view addSubview:self.myViewInIB]
you said you have class of that view so you can do like this
Suppose your class name is View then,
1) in storyboard give name "View1" of class to view
2) you need to create Class if you want to give size programatically
3) for view size you can also use constraints instead of frame.
View1 *objView = [[View1 alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(100, 100, 200, 200)];
viewObj.center = self.view.center;
viewObj.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];//so you can find view easily
[self.view addSubview: objView];
I have custom parent view, which is a sub class UIView with some UIImageView's, UILabel's etc..
I add as a subview screenshot of it.I would like to hide all the subviews and the parent view rather then that screenshot.
Any help on this is appreciated.
Code:
self.temp = [self snapshotViewAfterScreenUpdates:NO];
self.temp.frame = self.bounds;
[self addSubview:self.temp];
I hope the screenshot is one of the subview of your parent view. So hiding the parent view will hide all the subviews including the screenshot.
You can do the following
Make the screenshot size, bound to the parent and add to top
Present the screenshot as a popover/modal-view and blur the parent view
Remove/hide all the subviews from the parent except the screenshot
In my program needs to create view, then create subView and add it in view.
I create view and subView in storyboard. Then in code:
[subView removeFromSuperview];
[view addSubview:subView];
[self.view addSubview:view];
How can I add subView to view in storyboard without code?
You don't actually need to write any code for this. There are many ways to do this:
Select the subview and drag over the view entry in the Objects Explorer of storyboard. Once you leave the mouse hold, the parent view will have a triangle indicating your subview has become its child and the subview will have a bigger indent than your view
Or you can use the "Embed in View" menu as shown in the below pic [source:http://codesheriff.blogspot.co.il/2014/03/8-tips-for-working-effectively-with.html]
open file inspector ->search for view drag and Drop the view in storyboard
so in this you already holding a view now you adding an view its almost like adding a sub view to the main view this is for adding view without code
Open the storyboard and just create the new view inside the subview.
What your doing above is doing nothing.
[subView removeFromSuperview]; //Your removing subview from the superview
[view addSubview:subView]; //is view a new UIView?
[self.view addSubview:view];
You Will have a View in the bottom of right side.You Just drag and Drop the view Where you Want.To Set constriants clearly We are goin Dynamic view Creation.If you do View creation programmatically it will help you in the future project.
i've tried to create a custom view which works like a bottom bar and it worked
Right now this function is required on multiple classes, so i try writing it into a new class and import it which likes:
//BottomBarLauncher.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#interface bottomBarLauncher : UIViewController
-(void)launchBottomBar;
#end
And implement it as :
//BottomBarLauncher.m
-(void) launchBottomBar{
for (UIView *subView in [topView subviews]) {
[subView removeFromSuperview];
}
UIView *btnBarView = [[UIView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, self.view.frame.size.height - 53.3, 320, 53.3)];
btnBarView.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
[self.view addSubview:btnBarView];
}
Now here's the problem, while i try implement it on a new view like follows:
//NewView.m
#import "BottomBarProtocol.h"
#interface NewView()
{
BottomBarLauncher *btnBar;
}
#end
//blahblahblah
[btnBar launchBottomBar];
and nothing happens, i think the problem was with
[self.view addSubview:btnBarView];
but i have no idea how to select the current view as target which i can add subview onto.
First a suggestion, looking at your requirements/code I think you want to create custom view. For creating a custom view, create a class which inherits from UIView rather than creating a UIViewController.
Now moving to the code, your btnBar is a UIViewController which has its own view self.view so when you call this [btnBar launchBottomBar] internally you are adding the bottom bar on self.view that is your btnBar controllers view and not on NewView controllers view. Hope you understand what I am pointing out.
Here you are missing out few calls,
btnBar.view.frame = CGRectMake(0,self.view.bounds.size.height-40,self.view.bounds.size.width,40); // Add suitable frame.
//This call will add the btnBar's view as subview onto your current view controller's view.
[self.view addSubView:btnBar.view];
This is not correct/recommended way and you can face serious challenges regarding memory leaks. To avoid those mistakes, as I suggested, create a custom UIView instead. Take a look around on how to create custom views.
Hope that helps!
You can return the UIView form launchBottomBar method and add as a subView in your current ViewController class
Make custom class and delegate and add that view in window and set its frame so that it is not visible and set its frame and slide from bottom when needed so you can use it in all view controller.
Thanks.
CustomView *customView = [...];
[self.view addSubview:customView];
I need to detect in my CustomView class when it is added in other views or when my superview changes.
You can use willMoveToSuperview: and didMoveToSuperview to detect when the view is moved around. layoutSubviews will be called when the superview changes frame.
For a UIView use - (void)didMoveToSuperview
For a UIViewController use -(void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
also assign THE TAG of Customview before addsubview and the detect by Particular TAG.
