SlideOut Navigation Controller for iOS.
This controller replicates the behaviour of the 'slide-out' navigation of applications like Facebook or Steam.
The project currently mimics FB's app styling, you can change all the table colors in the AMSlideOutGlobals.h
.
ARC only.
Part of the code is based off this blog post made by Nick Harris
- Add the
AMSlideOut
folder to your project - Link against
QuartzCore
framework - Import
AMSlideOutNavigationController.h
in your AppDelegate - Init
AMSlideOutNavigationController
using the data structure as follows.
The ViewControllers presented by the SlideOut navigation are arranged in sections and rows of a UITableView.
You can use the following helper methods to setup your views:
addSectionWithTitle:
to add a sectionaddViewControllerToLastSection:tagged:withTitle:andIcon:
to add a viewcontroller to the last sectionaddViewControllerToLastSection:tagged:withTitle:andIcon:beforeChange:onCompletition:
to add a viewcontroller and call a block before and after the view switchaddViewController:tagged:withTitle:andIcon:toSection:
to add a viewcontroller to a specific sectionaddViewController:tagged:withTitle:andIcon:toSection:beforeChange:onCompletition:
to add a viewcontroller to a specific section and call a block before and after the switch
To create a new section:
// Note: Leave the title blank to hide the section header
[self.slideoutController addSectionWithTitle:@"Section"];
To create a new row:
[self.slideoutController addViewControllerToLastSection:controller // Your UIViewController
tagged:1 // Used to change the object's properties, i.e. the badge
withTitle:@"First View"
andIcon:@"icon1.png"]; // 44x44 icon held in the project's resources
The main data structure is an array of sections. Each section item is a dictionary, containing the section title and an array describing the ViewControllers. Each item of this array is a dictionary containing the title, icon's file name, a numeric tag and the reference to the ViewController. You can also pass the complete data structure to the init method, but it's not recommended. Check out the sample to understand how these methods work.
self.slideoutController = [AMSlideOutNavigationController slideOutNavigation];
// Add a first section
[self.slideoutController addSectionWithTitle:@"Section One"];
// Add two viewcontrollers to the first section
controller = [[UIViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"FirstViewController" bundle:nil];
[self.slideoutController addViewControllerToLastSection:controller tagged:1 withTitle:@"First View" andIcon:@"icon1.png"];
controller = [[UIViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"SecondViewController" bundle:nil];
[self.slideoutController addViewControllerToLastSection:controller tagged:2 withTitle:@"Second View" andIcon:@"icon2.png"];
// Add a second section
[self.slideoutController addSectionWithTitle:@"Section Two"];
// Add two viewcontrollers to the second section
controller = [[FirstViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"FirstViewController" bundle:nil];
[self.slideoutController addViewControllerToLastSection:controller
tagged:3
withTitle:@"First View"
andIcon:@"icon1.png"
beforeChange:^{
NSLog(@"Changing viewController");
} onCompletition:^{
NSLog(@"Done");
}];
controller = [[UIViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"SecondViewController" bundle:nil];
[self.slideoutController addViewControllerToLastSection:controller tagged:4 withTitle:@"Second View" andIcon:@"icon2.png"];
[self.window setRootViewController:self.slideoutController];
Leave the section name blank if you don't want the section header visible.
Set the badge value (NSString) via the method setBadgeValue:forTag:
. This sets the badge value of the row with the numeric tag provided during the views' setup.
[self.slideoutController setBadgeValue:@"10" forTag:3];
The icon must be 44x44. Blank icon name will result in a row with only text, with different indentation.
