I've been looking into using the UIPageControl for a scrolling part of an application, and I was wondering how it works. The docs show methods for changing pages, setting the number of pages etc., but by itself the page control doesn't encompass any kind of scroll view.
Are the UIPageControl and UIScrollView classes supposed to be used in conjunction when one wants to show the page indicator (like on the home screen of the iPhone with the app pages)?
To use Werner Altewischer class add PagedViewDelegate to interface and complete your class as shown below:
@interface ViewController (){
//header view
UIPageControl* headPageControl;
UIScrollView* headScrollView;
PagedView* headerView;
NSMutableArray* headerViews;
}
//header view
-(void)initHeader;
-(void)setHeaderViews:(NSMutableArray*)views;
-(void)addHeaderView:(UIView*)view;
-(void)popHeader;
@end
@implementation ViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
[self initHeader];
[self popHeader];
}
-(void)initHeader
{
float frameWidth = self.view.frame.size.width;
headPageControl = [[UIPageControl alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, HEADER_HEIGHT-PAGE_CONTROL_HEIGHT, frameWidth, PAGE_CONTROL_HEIGHT)];
[headPageControl setBackgroundColor:[UIColor colorWithWhite:0.0 alpha:0.5]];
headerViews = [NSMutableArray array];
headScrollView = [[UIScrollView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, frameWidth, HEADER_HEIGHT)];
headScrollView.showsHorizontalScrollIndicator = NO;
headerView = [[PagedView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, frameWidth, HEADER_HEIGHT)];
headerView.delegate = self;
headerView.pageControl = headPageControl;
headerView.scrollView = headScrollView;
[headerView addSubview:headScrollView];
[headerView addSubview:headPageControl];
[headerView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor darkGrayColor]];
[self.view addSubview:headerView];
}
-(NSUInteger)numberOfPagesInPagedView:(PagedView *)view
{
//NSLog(@"number of pages %i", headPageControl.numberOfPages);
return headPageControl.numberOfPages;
}
-(UIView*)pagedView:(PagedView *)view viewForPageAtIndex:(NSUInteger)page
{
//NSLog(@"open page %i", page);
return [headerViews objectAtIndex:page];
}
-(void)setHeaderViews:(NSMutableArray*)views
{
headerViews = views;
headPageControl.numberOfPages = headerViews.count;
}
-(void)addHeaderView:(UIView*)view
{
[headerViews
