Using UIPageControl as a container UIViewController

英文原版：http://www.wannabegeek.com/?p=168

虽然看上去用 UIPageControl 在一系列 UIView或UIViewController中导航是很平常的事情，但实际上 Apple公司并没有提供一个这样的方法或者演示Demo:

在最新的iOS版本中(5.0 现在已经不是最新的)，Apple公司提供了很多如何用其他方式实现

UIViewController容器的方式(可以从这里参考)，但悲剧的是它们与 UIPageControl 没多大关系。

那么我们今天就来专门解决这个问题。

创建界面

首先我们需要在 Interface Builder 中在一个UIViewController里面创建一个UIPageControl与UIScrollView。当然你可以创建很多类似的UIViewController。

设置 PageViewController 类

这里的 PageViewController 对象将包含一个 UIScrollView 与一个 UIPageControl。而且 UIScrollView 将会包含所有的 subview, 这些subview就是被UIPageControl控制的子页面。

你也许会在 viewController 中添加一些算法来专门处理页面转换: addChildViewController:方法。然而在我这个案例中却不是这么做的，来一起看看代码：

	@interface  PagerViewController : UIViewController
	  
	@property (nonatomic, strong) IBOutlet UIScrollView *scrollView;
	@property (nonatomic, strong) IBOutlet UIPageControl *pageControl;
	  
	- (IBAction)changePage:(id)sender;
	 @end

在实现的代码文件中，首先我先不让它能够旋转屏幕。然后当 PagerViewController 预备显示时，我们需要标记一下当前哪一个view是被激活的，即被显示的，那么需要在 viewDidApplear 以及 viewWillDisappear方法中加入以下代码：

	- (BOOL)automaticallyForwardAppearanceAndRotationMethodsToChildViewControllers {
	    returnNO;
	}
	  
	- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated {
	    [super viewDidAppear:animated];
	    UIViewController *viewController = [self.childViewControllers objectAtIndex:self.pageControl.currentPage];
	    if(viewController.view.superview != nil) {
	        [viewController viewDidAppear:animated];
	    }
	}
	  
	- (void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated {
	    UIViewController *viewController = [self.childViewControllers objectAtIndex:self.pageControl.currentPage];
	    if(viewController.view.superview != nil) {
	        [viewController viewWillDisappear:animated];
	    }
	    [super viewWillDisappear:animated];
	}
	  
	- (void)viewDidDisappear:(BOOL)animated {
	    UIViewController *viewController = [self.childViewControllers objectAtIndex:self.pageControl.currentPage];
	    if(viewController.view.superview != nil) {
	        [viewController viewDidDisappear:animated];
	    }
	    [super viewDidDisappear:animated];
	}

viewWillAppear 可能会有点复杂，因为我们也需要加载所有的子view到 scrollView中，而且必须确保scrollview的contentsize比子view要大。

	- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {
	    [super viewWillAppear:animated];
	  
	    for(NSUInteger i =0; i < [self.childViewControllers count]; i++) {
	        [self loadScrollViewWithPage:i];
	    }
	  
	    self.pageControl.currentPage = 0;
	    _page = 0;
	    [self.pageControl setNumberOfPages:[self.childViewControllers count]];
	  
	    UIViewController *viewController = [self.childViewControllers objectAtIndex:self.pageControl.currentPage];
	    if(viewController.view.superview != nil) {
	        [viewController viewWillAppear:animated];
	    }
	  
	    self.scrollView.contentSize = CGSizeMake(scrollView.frame.size.width * [self.childViewControllers count], scrollView.frame.size.height);
	}

为了将UIViewController的内容加载到UIScrolView的contentView中，需要如下代码:

	- (void)loadScrollViewWithPage:(int)page {
	    if(page < 0)
	        return;
	    if(page >= [self.childViewControllers count])
	        return;
	  
	    // replace the placeholder if necessary
	    UIViewController *controller = [self.childViewControllers objectAtIndex:page];
	    if(controller == nil) {
	        return;
	    }
	  
	    // add the controller's view to the scroll view
	    if(controller.view.superview == nil) {
	        CGRect frame = self.scrollView.frame;
	        frame.origin.x = frame.size.width * page;
	        frame.origin.y = 0;
	        controller.view.frame = frame;
	        [self.scrollView addSubview:controller.view];
	    }
	}

处理滚动

为了处理滚动，我们需要实现几个 UIScrollViewDelegate 的方法以及尽早声明方法 - (IBAction)changePage:(id)sender

首先必须先知道滚动是如何实现的，要么是手势，要么就是点击了 UIPageControl 的一侧。

来一起看看下面的代码：

	// At the begin of scroll dragging, reset the boolean used when scrolls originate from the UIPageControl
	- (void)scrollViewWillBeginDragging:(UIScrollView *)scrollView {
	         _pageControlUsed = NO;
	}
	  
	// At the end of scroll animation, reset the boolean used when scrolls originate from the UIPageControl
	- (void)scrollViewDidEndDecelerating:(UIScrollView *)scrollView {
	         _pageControlUsed = NO;
	}
	  
	- (void)scrollViewDidEndScrollingAnimation:(UIScrollView *)scrollView {
	        UIViewController *oldViewController = [self.childViewControllers objectAtIndex:_page];
	        UIViewController *newViewController = [self.childViewControllers objectAtIndex:self.pageControl.currentPage];
	        [oldViewController viewDidDisappear:YES];
	        [newViewController viewDidAppear:YES];
	  
	        _page = self.pageControl.currentPage;
	}

现在，为了当页面改变时也能更新当前的显示，我们只需要实现 scrollViewDidScroll delegate方法以及 changePage IBAction 方法。

	- (IBAction)changePage:(id)sender {
	        intpage = ((UIPageControl *)sender).currentPage;
	  
	        // update the scroll view to the appropriate page
	        CGRect frame = self.scrollView.frame;
	        frame.origin.x = frame.size.width * page;
	        frame.origin.y = 0;
	  
	        UIViewController *oldViewController = [self.childViewControllers objectAtIndex:_page];
	        UIViewController *newViewController = [self.childViewControllers objectAtIndex:self.pageControl.currentPage];
	        [oldViewController viewWillDisappear:YES];
	        [newViewController viewWillAppear:YES];
	  
	        [self.scrollView scrollRectToVisible:frame animated:YES];
	  
	        // Set the boolean used when scrolls originate from the UIPageControl. See scrollViewDidScroll: above.
	        _pageControlUsed = YES;
	}
	  
	- (void)scrollViewDidScroll:(UIScrollView *)sender {
	    // We don't want a "feedback loop" between the UIPageControl and the scroll delegate in
	    // which a scroll event generated from the user hitting the page control triggers updates from
	    // the delegate method. We use a boolean to disable the delegate logic when the page control is used.
	    if(_pageControlUsed || _rotating) {
	        // do nothing - the scroll was initiated from the page control, not the user dragging
	        return;
	    }
	  
	    // Switch the indicator when more than 50% of the previous/next page is visible
	        CGFloat pageWidth = self.scrollView.frame.size.width;
	        intpage = floor((self.scrollView.contentOffset.x - pageWidth / 2) / pageWidth) + 1;
	        if(self.pageControl.currentPage != page) {
	                UIViewController *oldViewController = [self.childViewControllers objectAtIndex:self.pageControl.currentPage];
	                UIViewController *newViewController = [self.childViewControllers objectAtIndex:page];
	                [oldViewController viewWillDisappear:YES];
	                [newViewController viewWillAppear:YES];
	                self.pageControl.currentPage = page;
	                [oldViewController viewDidDisappear:YES];
	                [newViewController viewDidAppear:YES];
	                _page = page;
	        }
	}

最后处理旋转

首先在shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation方法中返回 YES，同时也需要传输一下3个消息给当前被显示的子 UIViewController。

willAnimateRotationToInterfaceOrientation:duration:
willRotateToInterfaceOrientation:duration:

didRotateFromInterfaceOrientation:

但我们还是要自己处理旋转的问题，比如要重新缩放scrollview的contentView，以及调整子view的帧率，否则会出现一些无法预料的事情。所以来看看以下处理方式

	- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
	{
	    returnYES;
	}
	  
	- (void)willRotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation duration:(NSTimeInterval)duration {
	    UIViewController *viewController = [self.childViewControllers objectAtIndex:self.pageControl.currentPage];
	    [viewController willRotateToInterfaceOrientation:toInterfaceOrientation duration:duration];
	    _rotating = YES;
	}
	  
	- (void)willAnimateRotationToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation duration:(NSTimeInterval)duration {
	  
	    UIViewController *viewController = [self.childViewControllers objectAtIndex:self.pageControl.currentPage];
	    [viewController willAnimateRotationToInterfaceOrientation:toInterfaceOrientation duration:duration];
	  
	    self.scrollView.contentSize = CGSizeMake(scrollView.frame.size.width * [self.childViewControllers count], scrollView.frame.size.height);
	    NSUInteger page = 0;
	    for(viewController in self.childViewControllers) {
	        CGRect frame = self.scrollView.frame;
	        frame.origin.x = frame.size.width * page;
	        frame.origin.y = 0;
	        viewController.view.frame = frame;
	        page++;
	    }
	  
	    CGRect frame = self.scrollView.frame;
	    frame.origin.x = frame.size.width * _page;
	    frame.origin.y = 0;
	    [self.scrollView scrollRectToVisible:frame animated:NO];
	  
	}
	  
	- (void)didRotateFromInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)fromInterfaceOrientation {
	    _rotating = NO;
	    UIViewController *viewController = [self.childViewControllers objectAtIndex:self.pageControl.currentPage];
	    [viewController didRotateFromInterfaceOrientation:fromInterfaceOrientation];
	}
