I understand how to implement UISwipeGestureRecognizer, but I do not understand how to use multiple views properly in collaboration with it.
My ultimate goal is to provide a sleek interface where buttons or swiping may be used to change views. I am hoping for a constant background rather than a background image show it is transferring to the exact same image again. I am using storyboarding currently where each view has its own controller, and I would like (if possible) to keep it as close to this format for visual clarity of what is going on.
I have read that subviews may be my best hope for this sort of scenario (keeping them to the right until a swipe is called), but that would break up the current storyboarding structure I am using, and most certainly ruin any visual clarity.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
I did same programmatically, but you can achieve same using storyboard
1. You need base view which will keep same background
2. Add 3 Views (or 2 depending on ur requirement) Left, Middle, Right with transparent backgrounds as follows in viewDidLoad of base view controller
[self addChildViewController:myChildViewController];
[myChildViewController view].frame = CGMakeRect(x,y,width,height);//Left one will have x = -320, y=0 ,Middle x= 0, y= 0, Right x = 32O etc.
/* Add new view to source view */
[self.view addSubview:[myChildViewController view]];
/* Inform 'didMoveToParentViewController' to newly added view controller */
[myChildViewController didMoveToParentViewController:self];
3. In handle Swipe method change frames of view with animation which will make it look like swiping page e.g
//swipe left, get right view in middle
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.2 animations:^{
CGRect frame = rightViewController.view.frame;
frame.origin.x = 0;
frame.origin.y = 0;
rightViewController.view.frame = frame;
CGRect middleViewFrame = middleViewController.view.frame;
middleViewFrame.origin.x = -320;
middleViewController.view.frame = middleViewFrame;
}];
