Creating a view with following code.
- (void)loadView {
paintView=[[UIView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 50, 320, 430)];
[paintView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor yellowColor]];
self.view = paintView;
[paintView release];
But my problem is whole screen fills with yellow color, but I want with specified frame.
I am creating this view in a view based application.. Am i doing something wrong, Overridind the original view?
You can do it in following way.
- (void)loadView {
/// make a empty view to self.view
/// after calling [super loadView], self.view won't be nil anymore.
[super loadView];
paintView=[[UIView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 50, 320, 430)];
[paintView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor yellowColor]];
[self.view addSubview:paintView];
[paintView release];
};
UIView *newView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,320,35)];
newView.backgroundColor=[UIColor clearColor];
UITextView *mytext = [[UITextView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(5.0, 0.0, 100.0, 28.0)];
mytext.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
mytext.textColor = [UIColor blackColor];
mytext.editable = NO;
mytext.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:15];
mytext.text = #"Mytext";
mytext.scrollEnabled=NO;
[mytext release];
[newView addSubview:mytext];
[self.view addSubview:newView];
replace self.view =paintView;
by
[self.view addSubview: paintView];
I am Going change Line No 3 in LoadView Method , you should add the subView in main View instead on assiging it Directly.
[self.view addSubview:paintview];

I want to build a custom alert by UIViewController and add its view as a subview to the current window. The view displays very well, but I can't handle any touch events.
I have tried many times to add a button to this viewcontroller and add a target. I have also tried adding a UITapGestureRecognizer and set view's userInteractionEnabled to true, but this also failed even when I cleared all subviews just left the button.
Have I missed something?
Here is the code:
CustomAlert Viewcontroller:
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
backgroundView = [[UIView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.width, self.view.frame.size.height)];
backgroundView.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
backgroundView.alpha = 0.5;
[self.view addSubview:backgroundView];
backImage = [[UIImageView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake((self.view.frame.size.width - 300) / 2, (self.view.frame.size.height - 250) / 2, 300, 250)];
backImage.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"AlertBackground"];
[self.view addSubview:backImage];
confirmButton = [[UIButton alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake( backImage.frame.origin.x + 100 , backImage.frame.origin.y + 250 - 40, 100, 26)];
[self.view addSubview:confirmButton];
[confirmButton addTarget:self action:#selector(confirmButtonClick:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
confirmButton.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
[confirmButton setTitle:#"click me" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
}
-(void)confirmButtonClick:(UIButton*)sender{
[self.view removeFromSuperview];
}
-(void)show{
UIWindow * window = (UIWindow*)[UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow;
[window addSubview:self.view];
}
Method call custom alert:
CustomAlert * alert = [[CustomAlert alloc]init];
[alert show];
Try to rewrite your -show{} method with these
UIWindow * window = (UIWindow*)[UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow;
[window.rootViewController.view addSubview:self.view];
UPDATE:
And if previous don't help, try to overwrite
-(void)show{
UIWindow * window = (UIWindow*)[UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow;
[window.rootViewController addChildViewController:self];
[window.rootViewController.view addSubview:self.view];
[self didMoveToParentViewController:window.rootViewController];
}
Those three methods establish parent-child relations.
Intially,I created view called MainView.Inside that View I have place the view called UnitsView.My Problem is: If I want to add the UnitsView over MainView means, Whether I have to use self.view or MainView .
UIView *MainView = [[UIViewalloc]initwithframe: CGRectMake (0,0,self.view.frame.size.width, self.view.frame.size.height) ];
TopView.backgroundColor = [UIColor grayColor];
[self.view addSubview:TopView];
UIView *UnitsView = [[UIView alloc]init];
[self.view (or)MainView addsubView:UnitsView];
UIView *UnitsView = [[UIView alloc]initwithframe: CGRectMake(0,0,width,height)];
[MainView addsubView:UnitsView];
[self.view addSubView:MainView];
To add view above view:-
UIView *UnitsView = [[UIView alloc]initwithframe:CGRectMake(0,0,100,100)];
UnitsView.backgroundColor = [UIColor grayColor];
[self.view addSubView:UnitsView];
UIView *SubUnit = [[UIView alloc]initwithframe:CGRectMake(0,0,50,50)];
SubUnit.backgroundColor = [UIColor greenColor];
[self.UnitsView addSubView:SubUnit];
I have this code in viewDidLoad:
[self.navigationController setNavigationBarHidden:YES];
self.edgesForExtendedLayout = UIRectEdgeNone;
self.view.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight;
self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
//we need to add white background behind the status bar
CGFloat statusBarHeight = [UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarFrame.size.height;
UIView* statusBarWhiteBackGround = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.width, statusBarHeight)];
[statusBarWhiteBackGround setBackgroundColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
[self.view addSubview:statusBarWhiteBackGround];
UIView * redBackGroundColor = [[UIView alloc] init];
[redBackGroundColor setBackgroundColor:[UIColor redColor]];
redBackGroundColor.frame =CGRectMake(0,statusBarHeight , self.view.frame.size.width, self.view.frame.size.height-statusBarHeight);
[self.view addSubview:redBackGroundColor];
statusWhiteBackGround view is used to change the color of the status bar.
here is the result of the above code:
but when the app enter background and then back to foreground, the redBackGroundColor view change it's orging.y as you can see in the bellow picture:
what's the problem ?thanks
Create a UIView programatically on method
-(void)viewDidLayoutSubviews{
screen=[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds];
//Simple view
self.customView = [[CustomAlertOKView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 20, screen.size.width, screen.size.height)];
[self.view addSubView:customView];
}
or
Create a view using storyboard and set the x as 0, y value as 20,width and height based on the screen size
#IBOutlet UIView *customView;
set the outlet in the storyboard,
Then set the background color of the custom view to redcolor and main view to white color
self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
customView.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
I had created the the view programatically but it does not display on the screen
and gives a message in the console that
Failed to instantiate the default view controller for UIMainStoryboardFile 'Main' - perhaps
the designated entry point is not set?
Here is my code
-(BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary
*)launchOptions
{
self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]] ;
exmTableViewController *vc =[[exmTableViewController alloc] init];
self.window.rootViewController=vc;
self.window.backgroundColor =[UIColor whiteColor];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
*Code In Viewdidload *
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
UIImageView *img =[[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 10, 100, 20)];
self.imageView=img;
[self.view addSubview:self.imageView];
UILabel *lbl =[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 10, 100, 20)];
lbl.text =#"Hello";
self.view =lbl;
}
Instead this line self.view =lbl;, use [self.view addSubview:lbl]; to add subview to your view.
try this
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
UIImageView *img =[[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 10, 100, 20)];
self.imageView=img;
[self.view addSubview:self.imageView];
UILabel *lbl =[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 10, 100, 20)];
lbl.text =#"Hello";
[self.view addSubview:lbl];
}
-(void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
UIImageView *img =[[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 10, 100, 20)]; [self.view addSubview:img];
UILabel *lbl =[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 200, 100, 20)];
lbl.text =#"Hello";
[self.view addSubview:lbl];
}
Try like this. self.view = lbl; in this line you assign self.view is as label you want to add subview [self.view addSubview:yourSubView]; do like this.
When you are creating View controller from storyboard, view controller is initiated by storyboard. You should not create windows root controller by yourself. You need to provide story board name in Plist.
After loading view viewDidLoad method will be called. Here you need to set up view(Adding and configuring subviews). But you are changing viewControllers view property, that is set by storyboard. If you want to change your view controllers view you can use,
- (void)loadView
// inside this method you can assign new view to view property.
If you are adding view as subview use view's method
- (void)addSubview:(UIView *)view
I'd like to add a dark view layer that covers the whole screen.
In order to do that, I added UIView object to window property of UIViewController as shown below.I remember I was able to add a view to window like this in ios6. But, it doesn't work in ios7.
How am I able to make it work?
Thanks in advance!!
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
UIView *overlayView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.width, [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.height)];
overlayView.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
overlayView.alpha = 0.8;
[self.view.window addSubview:overlayView];
}
Here's one way of doing what you want:
[[UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow addSubview:overlayView];
According to the documentation of UIView, the window property is nil if the view has not yet been added to a window which is the case when viewDidLoad is called.
You can do the same thing in viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated;
- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated; {
UIView *overlayView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.width, [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.height)];
overlayView.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
overlayView.alpha = 0.8;
[self.view.window addSubview:overlayView];
}
Swift 3
UIApplication.shared.keyWindow?.addSubview(overlayView);
you can try like this
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
UIView *overlayView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:self.view.frame];
overlayView.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
overlayView.alpha = 0.8;
overlayView.center = self.view.center
[self.view addSubview:overlayView];
}
i hope will helpful for you...
