xxhp / jwslidemenu

Description

My first attempt to duplicate the Facebook iOS app's menu functionality.

The code works, but is a bit more awkward to use than I would like. The idea is that the JWSlideMenuController is a controller container view that can have many child controllers (JWSlideMenuViewControllers) added to it. Each of the children controllers shows up as a menu option in the menu table view that can be toggled by the menu button.

All children added to JWSlideMenuController get set as rootViewControllers in a new instance of JWNavigationController. JWNavigationController acts as a UINavigationController, but one that interacts with the JWSlideMenuController.

Sample Code

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
    self.window = [[[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]] autorelease];
    self.window.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
    
    //Create a new JWSlideMenuConroller container
    JWSlideMenuController *slideMenu = [[[JWSlideMenuController alloc] init] autorelease];
    
    //Create a child controller to add to it.
    //This needs to be a subclass of JWSlideMenuViewController, which is a subclass of UIViewController
    JWSlideMenuViewController *f = [[[FirstHDViewController alloc]initWithNibName:@"FirstHDViewController" bundle:nil] autorelease];
    
    //Add the child controller to the container controller
    [slideMenu addViewController:f withTitle:@"First" andImage:nil];
    
    //Set the window's rootViewController to the container.
    self.window.rootViewController = slideMenu;
    
    [self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
    return YES;
}
