iOS Flip Animation

[computerartist]

I am trying to use a "Flip" transition/animation. On both sides I want to have 2 separate UITables.


The following code that I am trying to do this with works fine, but it obviously "Flips" with the same view:

	CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
	[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:context];
	[UIView setAnimationTransition: UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromLeft forView:self.view cache:YES];
	[UIView setAnimationCurve:UIViewAnimationCurveEaseInOut];
	[UIView setAnimationDuration:1.0];
	[self.view exchangeSubviewAtIndex:0 withSubviewAtIndex:1];
	[UIView commitAnimations];

I don't know where I would include the second UITable for the backside?

Have you tried looking at how the Utility Application template does it or even the ViewTransitions sample app?

Even simpler...use two view controllers, one for the front, one for the back (they would both be UITableViewController subclasses in your case).

Present the back as a modal view controller and set the modal transition style of the back view controller to UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal. No animation blocks, no view swapping, both views managed by their own controller so your code is cleaner, simple.

I understand all of that, but I don't know where to start touse two view controllers,:


"one for the front, one for the back"


???

In that case, it sounds like you need to go back and read over the basics.

The View Controller programming guide would be a good place to start:

Thanks a lot for the help.

Read through it and still don't know what i am doing wrong.

I have the following code now that is working.

The problem I am running into now though is that the UINavigationController is flipping too:

	DetailViewControllerLatestElectionPolls *controller = [[DetailViewControllerLatestElectionPolls alloc] initWithNibName:@"DetailView" bundle:nil];
	UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:controller];
	[controller release];
	navController.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal;
	[self presentModalViewController:navController animated:YES];
	[navController release];

My solution isn't going to work for you if you are using a navigation controller and don't want it to flip, something you failed to mention in your first post.

I didnt know it would make a difference.

So I need to use an animation block? That is good to know because I still can't figure this out.

Any suggestions of what I am doing wrong?

CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:context];
[UIView setAnimationTransition: UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromLeft forView:self.view cache:YES];
[UIView setAnimationCurve:UIViewAnimationCurveEaseInOut];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:1.0];
[self.view exchangeSubviewAtIndex:0 withSubviewAtIndex:1];
[UIView commitAnimations];

 

[Luke Redpath]

What is going wrong exactly? What does the rest of your code look like? Can you post the relevant class and header?

Does the following line work, without the animation?:

[self.view exchangeSubviewAtIndex:0 withSubviewAtIndex:1];

 

[computerartist]

Yes, but what I am having a problem with is:

What I am trying to do is to make the Application Delegate Navigation Controller the Navigation Controller for a programmatically inserted tableView (only the view, not the view with navigation controller... if this is possible.



What I was hoping for is that I could do something like the following:

navController = tableViewAppDelegate.navigationController;

	tableViewAppDelegate = (TableViewAppDelegate *) [[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];

	DetailViewControllerSenateNoTossUp *cnewTableViewFrameController = [[DetailViewControllerSenateNoTossUp alloc] initWithNibName:@"DetailView" bundle:nil];
	UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:newTableViewFrameController];
	


	CGRect newTableViewFrame;
	newTableViewFrame.origin.x = 0; 
	newTableViewFrame.origin.y = 0;
	newTableViewFrame.size.height = 200;
	newTableViewFrame.size.width = 280;
	
	UIView *newTableView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame: newTableViewFrame];
	newTableView = newTableViewFrameController.view;
	
	[self.view addSubview:newTableViewFrameController.view];
