How to add multiple UIViews in a UIScrollView - ios

I have a UIView that draws a pie chart and I would like to put 3 or maybe 4 charts in a UIScrollView programatically. How can I do that?
my h file is like this
#class PieChart;
#interface ViewController : UIViewController {
}
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIScrollView *scrollView;
and m file
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
[scrollView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor blackColor]];
[scrollView setCanCancelContentTouches:NO];
scrollView.indicatorStyle = UIScrollViewIndicatorStyleWhite;
scrollView.clipsToBounds = YES;
scrollView.scrollEnabled = YES;
scrollView.pagingEnabled = YES;
PieChart *chart = [[PieChart alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectZero];
[chart setFrame:CGRectMake(100, 100, 200, 200)];
[scrollView addSubview:chart];
}

If you need to add subview to the view you need to use [view addSubview:subview]. This is common practice.
Read about frames and bounds (coordinate systems for view and sub views):
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/CocoaViewsGuide/Coordinates/Coordinates.html
As I understand you have a problem due to content size of scroll view. Read more here:
http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#DOCUMENTATION/WindowsViews/Conceptual/UIScrollView_pg/Introduction/Introduction.html
Hope it helps.

You can just add it with:
[scrollView addSubview:singleView];

You add multiple subviews to a UIScrollView just like you add a single subview; with addSubview:. What problems are you running into?

Copying UIButtons frame gives wrong position

I want to create another UIView / UIButton on an UIButton so I'm getting its' frame and use it in declaration of another UIView but It creates like below screenshot (with blue view). By the way, button is created on storyboard.
I'm using Xcode 9.1 and iOS 11.1
- (void)viewDidLoad {
UIView *picker = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:_mButton.frame];
picker.backgroundColor=[UIColor blueColor];
[self.view addSubview: picker];
}
Screenshot 1
Screnshot 2
I guess the proper frames are not calculated in viewDidLoad. You can try to make picker a property and adjust its frame in viewDidLayoutSubviews
#property (strong, nonatomic) UIView *picker;
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
self.picker = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:_mButton.frame];
self.picker.backgroundColor=[UIColor blueColor];
[self.view addSubview: self.picker];
}
- (void)viewDidLayoutSubviews {
self.picker.frame = _mButton.frame;
[super viewDidLayoutSubviews];
}
But off course using storyboard and autolayout would probably be the best sollution if you have this possibility.

UIScrollView as subview of UIView does not work with autolayout

I created a customView (UIView) which contains a UIScrollView as its subview, and
objects I put on the scrollView did not show. To test it, I added a UIView to the scrollView and it didn't show neither(see code example below). Since the content I want to put on the scrollView is dynamic, I want to approach the problem by just using AutoLayout. I tried different ways and followed instructions online, none of it worked, all the similar questions were UIScrollView created inside of a UIViewController.
Here is my code, I'm using Masonry:
#interface CustomView : UIView
#end
#implementation CustomView
- (instancetype)init {
if (self = [super init]) {
self.scrollView = [[UIScrollView alloc]init];
self.scrollView.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
[self addSubview:self.scrollView];
[self.scrollView mas_makeConstraints:^(MASConstraintMaker *make) {
make.edges.equalTo(self);
}];
//Here I add someView to the scrollView, and when I create an instance of the scrollView, the someView does not show.
self.someView = [[UIView alloc]init];
self.someView.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
[self.scrollView addSubview:self.someView];
[self.someView mas_makeConstraints:^(MASConstraintMaker *make) {
make.edges.equalTo(self.scrollView);
make.size.equalTo(CGSizeMake(40, 40));
}];
}
return self;
}
Here is how I create an instance of the CustomView
CustomView *customView = [[CustomView alloc]init];
[self.view addSubview: customView];
[customView mas_makeConstraints:^(MASConstraintMaker *make) {
make.top.equalTo(64.0);
make.height.equalTo(40.0);
make.leading.trailing.equalTo(0);
}];
Is there anything I missed or did wrong that caused someView to not show?
Thank your for your help.
I solved the problem by: 1).Using scrollView directly instead of as a subView in a UIView (my customView). 2) make sure to add the right and bottom constraints of the scrollView.

UIScrollView is not scrolling in UiView

when I scroll on UIScrollView that not scrolling . Also I am setting scrollview's contentSize.
When I show one other subView and after when I show my view , it's scrolling.
You can see what is problem on this video . How can I solve this problem?
myViewController.h file
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#interface myViewController : UIViewController
#property(nonatomic,retain)UIView * rightTabView;
#property(nonatomic,retain)UIView * leftTabView;
#property(nonatomic,retain)UIView * middleTabView;
#property(nonatomic,retain)UIScrollView *myscrollview;
#end
myViewController.m file
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
// Do any additional setup after loading the view from its nib.
[super viewDidLoad];
//create Tab views and addSubview
CGFloat barHeight=58;
self.rightTabView=[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, barHeight+55,self.view.bounds.size.width,self.view.bounds.size.height-barHeight-55)];
[self.view addSubview:self.rightTabView];
self.leftTabView=[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, barHeight+5,self.view.bounds.size.width,self.view.bounds.size.height-barHeight-55)];
self.leftTabView.backgroundColor=[UIColor redColor];
[self.view addSubview:self.leftTabView];
self.middleTabView=[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, barHeight+55,self.view.bounds.size.width,self.view.bounds.size.height-barHeight-55)];
[self.view addSubview:self.middleTabView];
//add Subview to leftTabView
myscrollview=[[UIScrollView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 10,300, 340)];
myscrollview.userInteractionEnabled=YES;
myscrollview.backgroundColor = [UIColor greenColor];
myscrollview.delegate = self;
[self.leftTabView addSubview:myscrollview];
myscrollview.contentSize = CGSizeMake(2000, 2000);
}
It looks like your middleTabView is obscuring your leftTabView (which is the superview of your scrollview). Either bring the leftTabView to the top of the view hierarchy:
[self.leftTabView.superview bringSubViewToFront:self.leftTabView];
or disable user interactions or visibility of your middleTabView (or add the leftTabView last).

Not able to add subview to my UIView

I have a UIView element on the screen. It is connected by an IBOutlet radioButtonGroupView. I am trying to add a subview to that element and it is not working. The subview is never added.
Here is my code:
-(id) initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)aDecoder
{
self = [super initWithCoder:aDecoder];
UIView *subView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 100)];
subView.backgroundColor = [UIColor yellowColor];
[self.radioButtonGroupView addSubview:subView];
return self;
}
You will probably be better off if you make this element a subclass of a UIViewController (instead of a UIView).
Then put the subview loading code inside viewDidLoad method.
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad]; //not really needed but it doesn't hurt
UIView *subView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 100)];
subView.backgroundColor = [UIColor yellowColor];
[self.radioButtonGroupView addSubview:subView];
}
EDIT:
You say that you don't get any frame information on self.radioButtonGroupView in your viewDidLoad. That is almost a certain sign that your IBOutlet is not properly connected to the element in InterfaceBuilder. You can always make a simple test:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad]; //not really needed but it doesn't hurt
NSLog (#"self.radioButtonGroupView: %#",self.radioButtonGroupView);
[self.radioButtonGroupView setHidden:YES];
}
If it is still shown - then it simply isn't properly connected. IB has it's ways. Simple
deletion of IBOutlet connection and reconnecting it again might do the trick. Also: it your radioButtonGroupView is not UIView but a subclass of UIView, make sure that it's header file is imported in your MyViewController.m file and class properly defined in .xib.

zooming animation problem in ScrollView - Ipad

In my app, I have a split screen in which the detail view is a scrollview. I have 5 tables which are subviews of my scrollview in which 3 table views are side by side on top and 2 table views are side by side on bottom
I have already implemented a way in which when I click any of the rows of any of the table in the scrollview, that view disappears and another view zooms into its position.
I write the following code in the didSelectRowAtIndexPath in the middle table subview,
CGFloat xpos = self.view.frame.origin.x;
CGFloat ypos = self.view.frame.origin.y;
self.view.frame = CGRectMake(xpos+100,ypos+150,5,5);
[UIView beginAnimations:#"Zoom" context:NULL];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:2];
self.view.frame = CGRectMake(xpos,ypos,220,310);
[UIView commitAnimations];
[self.view addSubview:popContents.view];
popContents is the view I need to zoom into to the view previously occupied by that particular table view and that happens correctly.
However the problem that I am facing is that since there is another table subview in the side, if I increase the frame size to say 250 or so, the part of the zoomed in view gets hidden by the tableview on the side ( as its as if a part of the zoomed in view goes under the tableview on the side).
Is there anyway to correct this so that my zoomed in view would not get hidden by the tableviews on its sides?
I hope I have explained my problem correctly...
UPDATE:
Here is the code I am using for adding the subviews for the scrollview
// Scroll view
scrollView = [[UIScrollView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 30, 1000, 740)];
scrollView.contentSize = CGSizeMake(1000, 700);
scrollView.delegate = self;
scrollView.scrollEnabled = YES;
scrollView.showsHorizontalScrollIndicator = YES;
scrollView.backgroundColor = [UIColor scrollViewTexturedBackgroundColor];
[self.view addSubview:scrollView];
aView = [[aViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"aViewController" bundle:nil];
aView.view.frame = CGRectMake(10, 25, 220, 310);
[aView loadList:objPatients];
[scrollView addSubview:aView.view];
bView = [[bViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"bViewController" bundle:nil];
bView.view.frame = CGRectMake(10, 350, 220, 310);
[bView loadList:objPatients];
[scrollView addSubview:bView.view];
cView = [[cViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"cViewController" bundle:nil];
cView.view.frame = CGRectMake(240, 25, 220, 310);
[cView loadList:objPatients];
[scrollView addSubview:cView.view];
dView = [[dViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"dViewController" bundle:nil];
enView.view.frame = CGRectMake(240, 350, 220, 310);
[enView loadList:objPatients];
[scrollView addSubview:dView.view];
eView = [[eViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"eViewController" bundle:nil];
eView.view.frame = CGRectMake(470, 25, 220, 310);
[eView loadList:objPatients];
[scrollView addSubview:eView.view];
say for example, I add the code for didSelectRowAtIndexPath in cViewController subview...
This is a guess since I would need to know how your table views are added to the scroll view, but the middle table view was probably added before the one on the side. Views are "stacked" in the order they're added with the last one on top. You'll need to get the scroll view to move the middle view to the front with this method
- (void)bringSubviewToFront:(UIView *)view
The best way to do that would be to create a protocol for the table views and make the scroll view the delegate. The method would be something like this
- (void) moveAViewToFront: (MyTableView *) aTableView
{
[self.view bringSubviewToFront: aTableView.view];
}
You would then call the delegate method before setting up the animation.
Edited
After a little more thought I realized that the subviews have a reference to their superview so this bit of code should provide an idea on how to solve the problem. I created a test app which has a view controller which adds two sub views. The view controller header file is MoveSubviewViewController.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#interface MoveSubviewViewController : UIViewController
{
}
#end
and it's implementation is
#import "MoveSubviewViewController.h"
#import "MoveableSubview.h"
#implementation MoveSubviewViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
// Create two overlapping subviews. The blue subview will start at the top of
// the frame and extend down two thirds of the frame.
CGRect superviewFrame = self.view.frame;
CGRect view1Frame = CGRectMake( superviewFrame.origin.x, superviewFrame.origin.y,
superviewFrame.size.width, superviewFrame.size.height * 2 / 3);
MoveableSubview *view1 = [[MoveableSubview alloc] initWithFrame: view1Frame];
view1.backgroundColor = [UIColor blueColor];
[self.view addSubview: view1];
[view1 release];
// The green subview will start one third of the way down the frame and
// extend all the to the bottom.
CGRect view2Frame = CGRectMake( superviewFrame.origin.x,
superviewFrame.origin.y + superviewFrame.size.height / 3,
superviewFrame.size.width, superviewFrame.size.height * 2 / 3);
MoveableSubview *view2 = [[MoveableSubview alloc] initWithFrame: view2Frame];
view2.backgroundColor = [UIColor greenColor];
[self.view addSubview: view2];
[view2 release];
}
#end
The subview class is MoveableSubview with another simple header
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#interface MoveableSubview : UIView
{
}
#end
and implementation
#import "MoveableSubview.h"
#implementation MoveableSubview
- (void)touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
// Move this view to the front in the superview.
[self.superview bringSubviewToFront: self];
}
#end
The thing to do is to add the
[self.superview bringSubviewToFront: self];
line before setting up the animation.
