How do I add a custom view to iPhone app's UI?
- by Dr Dork
I'm diving into iPad development and I'm still learning how everything works together. I understand how to add standard view (i.e. buttons, tableviews, datepicker, etc.) to my UI using both Xcode and Interface Builder, but now I'm trying to add a custom calendar control (TapkuLibrary) to the left window in my UISplitView application. My question is, if I have a custom view (in this case, the TKCalendarMonthView), how do I programmatically add it to one of the views in my UI (in this case, the RootViewController)? Below are some relevant code snippets from my project...
RootViewController interface
@interface RootViewController : UITableViewController <NSFetchedResultsControllerDelegate> {
DetailViewController *detailViewController;
NSFetchedResultsController *fetchedResultsController;
NSManagedObjectContext *managedObjectContext;
}
@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet DetailViewController *detailViewController;
@property (nonatomic, retain) NSFetchedResultsController *fetchedResultsController;
@property (nonatomic, retain) NSManagedObjectContext *managedObjectContext;
- (void)insertNewObject:(id)sender;
TKCalendarMonthView interface
@class TKMonthGridView,TKCalendarDayView;
@protocol TKCalendarMonthViewDelegate, TKCalendarMonthViewDataSource;
@interface TKCalendarMonthView : UIView {
id <TKCalendarMonthViewDelegate> delegate;
id <TKCalendarMonthViewDataSource> dataSource;
NSDate *currentMonth;
NSDate *selectedMonth;
NSMutableArray *deck;
UIButton *left;
NSString *monthYear;
UIButton *right;
UIImageView *shadow;
UIScrollView *scrollView;
}
@property (readonly,nonatomic) NSString *monthYear;
@property (readonly,nonatomic) NSDate *monthDate;
@property (assign,nonatomic) id <TKCalendarMonthViewDataSource> dataSource;
@property (assign,nonatomic) id <TKCalendarMonthViewDelegate> delegate;
- (id) init;
- (void) reload;
- (void) selectDate:(NSDate *)date;
Thanks in advance for all your help! I still have a ton to learn, so I apologize if the question is absurd in any way. I'm going to continue researching this question right now!
