How to achieve fixed side navigation in iOS? - ios

Question

I am new to iOS development. I am developing an app which will contain fixed side menu on left side of all ViewController. When user will select any menu out of 5, selected menu will highlighted in different colour, but its later part.
How do I achieve the fixed side menu?
I am stuck on this. I search so many sites on Google but nothing helpful came out of it. Can anyone provide sample code?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks & Regards.

Please try this code.
First create a UIView type class.
Write this code TabbarController.h Class
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#class TabbarController;
#protocol Tabbar_protocol <NSObject>
#required
-(void)First_viewController;
-(void)Second_viewController;
-(void)Third_viewController;
-(void)Fourth_viewController;
-(void)Fifth_viewController;
#end
#interface TabbarController : UIView // this is your UIView type class
-(void)CreateTabbarController;
#property (nonatomic, assign) NSObject <Tabbar_protocol> *delegate;
#end
This code for TabbarController.m Class
#import "TabbarController.h"
#implementation TabbarController
#synthesize delegate;
- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame
{
self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
if (self) {
// Initialization code
[self CreateTabbarController];
}
return self;
}
-(void)CreateTabbarController
{
UIButton *button1 = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[button1 setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 50, 96)];
[button1 setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"image1.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[button1 setTag:101];
[button1 addTarget:self action:#selector(TabbarBtn_Action:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[self addSubview:button1];
UIButton *button2 = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[button2 setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 96, 50, 96)];
[button2 setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"image2.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[button2 setTag:102];
[button2 addTarget:self action:#selector(TabbarBtn_Action:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[self addSubview:button2];
UIButton *button3 = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[button3 setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 192, 50, 96)];
[button3 setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"image3.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[button3 setTag:103];
[button3 addTarget:self action:#selector(TabbarBtn_Action:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[self addSubview:button3];
UIButton *button4 = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[button4 setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 288, 50, 96)];
[button4 setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"image4.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[button4 setTag:104];
[button4 addTarget:self action:#selector(TabbarBtn_Action:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[self addSubview:button4];
UIButton *button5 = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[button5 setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 384, 50, 96)];
[button5 setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"image5.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[button5 setTag:105];
[button5 addTarget:self action:#selector(TabbarBtn_Action:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[self addSubview:button5];
}
-(void)TabbarBtn_Action:(id)sender
{
switch ([sender tag])
{
case 101:
if (self.delegate != nil)
{
// code for changing your button color
[self.delegate First_viewController];
}
break;
case 102:
if (self.delegate != nil)
{
// code for changing your button color
[self.delegate Second_viewController];
}
break;
case 103:
if (self.delegate != nil)
{
// code for changing your button color
[self.delegate Third_viewController];
}
break;
case 104:
if (self.delegate != nil)
{
// code for changing your button color
[self.delegate Fourth_viewController];
}
break;
case 105:
if (self.delegate != nil)
{
// code for changing your button color
[self.delegate Fifth_viewController];
}
break;
default:
break;
}
}
#end
In your all ViewController.h import this class & ViewController.m class call that delegate method.
#import "TabbarController.h"
#interface ViewController : UIViewController <Tabbar_protocol>
{
}
// ViewController.m class
-(void)First_viewController
{
// Navigate to FirstViewController...
}
-(void)Second_viewController
{
// Navigate to SecondViewController...
}
-(void)Third_viewController
{
// Navigate to ThirdViewController...
}
-(void)Fourth_viewController
{
// Navigate to FourthViewController...
}
-(void)Fifth_viewController
{
// Navigate to FifthViewController...
}
Like this you have to call in all 5 ViewController.
