Tutorial Part 1: How to make expanding/shrinking views on iPhone SDK

[MrEndanger91]

your awesome man. this is exactly what i was looking for!

[rk0170]

This is a good tutorial. I would like to know how I can reduce the size of the second view so that it appears above the first view (something like an Alertview).Can you help me?

[abgapps]

@rk0170 I can have a go later and get back to you, but out of interest is this the easiest way around what you are attempting to do? You could just have a UITextView or UIImageView appear the size you want in on the main view?

Thanks, man. Corrected it! Best tutorial out there in my opinion (I'm completely new to xcode, so this helped out a lot!

[Scottulus]

This is a great tutorial; I've built this thing a couple of times, and I'm pretty sure I've been meticulous, but at the stage just after adding a view controller to the 'expandingViewController page, I can NOT seem to get the secondVC to display in the connections tab once I go to File's owner... Any ideas? I'm going out of my mind so any help would be appreciated.

[abgapps]

@Scottulus I have PM'd you my email address so you can send me your project for me to take a look.

Ok it was that.

Shame on me not going to the third part !

[JulianBrain]

Everything works until this line :

if ([animationID isEqualToString:@"animationExp­and"]) { [[self navigationController] pushViewController:viewControl­ler animated:NO];

}

The pushViewController function brings view to fullscreen...!

On my first view, I got a topbar with logo and buttons, I want this bar to be on every view, WITHOUT make it on each view (I just want the first view to stay "behind", where we just see the top bar)...

Do you understand ? Like in Facebook app, in fact...

[abgapps]

@JulianBrain I am not entirely sure what you mean. Perhaps take a look at this video of mine which talks about including topbars in the app - there is a link to it towards the bottom of the description of this video. It may indeed solve your problem. I hope it helps.

[JulianBrain]

Very interesting tutorial.

But I got a little problem... I don't want the "second view" to take fullscreen...

So this line :

viewController.view.frame=[[UI­Screen mainScreen] bounds];

Becomes :

viewController.view.frame=CGRe­ctMake(0.0, 48.0, 1024.0, 720.0);

(I work on iPad so don't worry about the numbers)

(No more chars left, i will continue in another comment)

[abgapps]

@jakikiller The link is in the description. Thanks

[jakikiller]

@abgapps Very big thanks. easy to implement. i have a iphone dev competition. If i won i will donate. I promess

[abgapps]

@jakikiller Thanks very much for the positive feedback :)

[kcimmid]

is it because i have a tab-bar based application that the button isn't working?

[MrSoninke]

Hi there,

This is an awesome tutorial for as im new in programming apps. Thank you so much.

I would like to know if you could please make a tutorial on a view curl, if u tap on the bottom of the view, it curls and takes you to the second view.

Also on how to put a login system on your app.

Best regards.

[abgapps]

@MrSoninke I am not exactly sure what you mean. I could potentially do a tutorial if you provide some more information. I apologise for the extreme lateness of this reply but I took a break from developing.

[denkov29]

More than just bits, mate :)

[TheAppsperts]

A great tutorial for both beginners and intermediate level iPhone developers. The buttons tag tip is also very useful.

One remark: it relies too much on the use of IB. I would make most of it "by hand", this way you really can see all the relations and the code can really be copy-pasteable.

Thanks!

[abgapps]

@TheAppsperts: Thanks for the comments, I figured using more code could put off beginners whereas using more IB wouldnt put off more advanced people as they could convert it to code if they wished.

Glad bits of it were helpful :)
