How do I integrate PaintCode snippets into XCode (iOS 6)

Question

I need to integrate PaintCode snippets into XCode, but so far I don't see the result in the simulator, here is the snippet for a rectangle:

// Rounded Rectangle Drawing
UIBezierPath *roundedRectanglePath = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRoundedRect: CGRectMake(45.5, 89.5, 232, 273) cornerRadius:3];
[[UIColor whiteColor] setFill];
[roundedRectanglePath fill];
[[UIColor blackColor] setStroke];
[roundedRectanglePath setLineWidth: 10];
[roundedRectanglePath stroke];

I used a void function in implementation file:

- (void) drawRect: (CGRect)rect
{
    // snippet goes here
}

Answer 1

The PaintCode generated code needs to be wrapped in the drawRect: method of a UIView subclass.

You should also:

Import your subclass header file in the UIViewController that you seem to be working with, i.e. #import "OnScreenGraphics.h"

Create an instance of the class, e.g.

// add a subview to fill the entire view; your requirements
// may be different, of course
OnScreenGraphics *fancyView = [[OnScreenGraphics alloc] initWithFrame:self.view.bounds];
[[self view] addSubview:fancyView];

Edit 2013-11-24 07-33-25

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface OnScreenGraphics : UIView

@end

#import "OnScreenGraphics.h"

@implementation OnScreenGraphics

- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame {
    self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
    if( !self ) return nil;

    self.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];

    return self;
}

- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect{
    UIBezierPath *roundedRectanglePath = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRoundedRect: CGRectMake(45.5, 89.5, 232, 273) cornerRadius:3];
    [[UIColor clearColor] setFill];
    [roundedRectanglePath fill];
    [[UIColor blackColor] setStroke];
    [roundedRectanglePath setLineWidth: 10];
    [roundedRectanglePath stroke];
}

@end

And in your view controller implementation:

@implementation AKDMoreDetailViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];

    OnScreenGraphics *fancyView = [[OnScreenGraphics alloc] initWithFrame:self.view.bounds];
    [[self view] addSubview:fancyView];

}

// etc.

@end

When I execute this in a test project, I see:

Now, all of this said, your highlighting subview is presumably covering the button you wish to highlight; so even if you can see the button, it may not respond to touch events unless you disable user interaction on that view fancyView.userInteractionEnabled = NO;
