In my latest project, I am trying to create a UIScrollView with multiple sections that can be horizontally scrolled between. I want to make it so that after the user scrolls, the UIScrollView locks onto one section of the UIScrollView.
I have 3 distinct sections, and so to get the position where they all start, the code would be,
CGFloat contentWidth = scrollView.contentSize.width;
CGFloat firstDivider = 0; //left origin
CGFloat secondDivider = contentWidth;
CGFloat thirdDivider = contentWidth*2;
I also have thought about using the center of each section to determine which should be brought to the front.
CGFloat centerXfirst = contentWidth/2;
CGFloat centerXsecond = contentWidth * 3/2;
CGFloat centerXthird = contentWidth * 5/2;
I have come to no success using either of these methods.
More Details
The UIScrollView's frame is created dynamically based on the other views around it. Its content size's width is 3 times the scroll view's width.
I think using a UIPageControl would be too much here, and I am definitely more familiar with the UIScrollView than the UIPageControl. This app is on a deadline so I cannot spend time learning this new UI element.
Set pagingEnabled = YES on your UIScrollView :)
