Accessing multiple view controllers in page controller
- by Apple Delegates
I am showing view in ipad like a book, single view shows two view. I want to add more views so that when view flipped third and fourth view appears and further. I am using the code below to do so. I am adding ViewControllers to array it got kill at orientation method at this line " ContentViewController *currentViewController = [self.pageViewController.viewControllers objectAtIndex:0];".
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
//Instantiate the model array
self.modelArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
for (int index = 1; index <= 12 ; index++)
{
[self.modelArray addObject:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Page %d",index]];
}
//Step 1
//Instantiate the UIPageViewController.
self.pageViewController = [[UIPageViewController alloc] initWithTransitionStyle:UIPageViewControllerTransitionStylePageCurl
navigationOrientation:UIPageViewControllerNavigationOrientationHorizontal options:nil];
//Step 2:
//Assign the delegate and datasource as self.
self.pageViewController.delegate = self;
self.pageViewController.dataSource = self;
//Step 3:
//Set the initial view controllers.
ViewOne *one = [[ViewOne alloc]initWithNibName:@"ViewOne" bundle:nil];
viewTwo *two = [[viewTwo alloc]initWithNibName:@"ViewTwo" bundle:nil];
ContentViewController *contentViewController = [[ContentViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"ContentViewController" bundle:nil];
contentViewController.labelContents = [self.modelArray objectAtIndex:0];
// NSArray *viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObject:contentViewController];
viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:contentViewController,one,two,nil];
[self.pageViewController setViewControllers:viewControllers
direction:UIPageViewControllerNavigationDirectionForward
animated:NO
completion:nil];
//Step 4:
//ViewController containment steps
//Add the pageViewController as the childViewController
[self addChildViewController:self.pageViewController];
//Add the view of the pageViewController to the current view
[self.view addSubview:self.pageViewController.view];
//Call didMoveToParentViewController: of the childViewController, the UIPageViewController instance in our case.
[self.pageViewController didMoveToParentViewController:self];
//Step 5:
// set the pageViewController's frame as an inset rect.
CGRect pageViewRect = self.view.bounds;
pageViewRect = CGRectInset(pageViewRect, 40.0, 40.0);
self.pageViewController.view.frame = pageViewRect;
//Step 6:
//Assign the gestureRecognizers property of our pageViewController to our view's gestureRecognizers property.
self.view.gestureRecognizers = self.pageViewController.gestureRecognizers;
}
- (UIPageViewControllerSpineLocation)pageViewController:(UIPageViewController *)pageViewController
spineLocationForInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)orientation
{
if(UIInterfaceOrientationIsPortrait(orientation))
{
//Set the array with only 1 view controller
UIViewController *currentViewController = [self.pageViewController.viewControllers objectAtIndex:0];
NSArray *viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObject:currentViewController];
[self.pageViewController setViewControllers:viewControllers direction:UIPageViewControllerNavigationDirectionForward animated:YES completion:NULL];
//Important- Set the doubleSided property to NO.
self.pageViewController.doubleSided = NO;
//Return the spine location
return UIPageViewControllerSpineLocationMin;
}
else
{
// NSArray *viewControllers = nil;
ContentViewController *currentViewController = [self.pageViewController.viewControllers objectAtIndex:0];
NSUInteger currentIndex = [self.modelArray indexOfObject:[(ContentViewController *)currentViewController labelContents]];
if(currentIndex == 0 || currentIndex %2 == 0)
{
UIViewController *nextViewController = [self pageViewController:self.pageViewController viewControllerAfterViewController:currentViewController];
viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:currentViewController, nextViewController, nil];
}
else
{
UIViewController *previousViewController = [self pageViewController:self.pageViewController viewControllerBeforeViewController:currentViewController];
viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:previousViewController, currentViewController, nil];
}
//Now, set the viewControllers property of UIPageViewController
[self.pageViewController setViewControllers:viewControllers direction:UIPageViewControllerNavigationDirectionForward animated:YES completion:NULL];
return UIPageViewControllerSpineLocationMid;
}
}
