The iOS 5 Developer’s Cookbook 6 Assembing Views and Animations

6.1 View Hierarchies    

确实代码很妙，

// Recursively travel down the view tree, increasing the

// indentation level for children

- (void) dumpView: (UIView *) aView atIndent: (int) indent into: (NSMutableString *) outstring

{

    // Add the indentation

    for (int i = 0; i < indent; i++)

        [outstring appendString:@"--"];

    

    // Add the class description

    [outstring appendFormat:@"[%2d] %@\n", indent,

     [[aView class] description]];

    

    // Recurse on subviews

    for (UIView *view in aView.subviews)

        [self dumpView:view atIndent:indent + 1 into:outstring];

}

// Start the tree recursion at level 0 with the root view

- (void) dumpTree: (id) sender

{

    NSMutableString *outstring = [NSMutableString string];

    [self dumpView:self.view atIndent:0 into:outstring];

    NSLog(@"%@", outstring);

}

6.2 主要是介绍了view 的几个方法的使用，可以结合例子理解。递归

The subviewsmethod returns just those views that are immediate children of a givenview 

A call to[[UIApplication sharedApplication] windows]returns the array of application windows. 

Theview’s windowproperty points to the window that owns it. 

TheisDescendantOfView:method determines whether a view lives within another view,even if that view is not its direct superview. 

6.3 Managing Subviews    

Adding Subviews      

ninsertSubview:atIndex:
ninsertSubview:aboveSubview:

ninsertSubview:belowSubview: 

viewWithTag 这个方法很好用，因为这个查找是一个递归的查找，不需要查找结果是直接的子视图。因此直接用window即可，

UILabel *label = (UILabel *)[self.view.window viewWithTag:101];

label.text = @"Hello World"; 

UIView的这个TagExtensions 很好，底下是用法。

• -  (IBAction)updateTime:(id)sender{

  // set the label to the current time[self.view.window labelWithTag:LABEL_TAG].text =

  [[NSDate date] description];

  }

• -  (IBAction)updateSwitch:(id)sender{

  // toggle the switch from its current setting
  UISwitch *s = [self.view.window switchWithTag:SWITCH_TAG];[s setOn:!s.isOn];

  } 

@interface UIView (TagExtensions)
- (UILabel *) labelWithTag: (NSInteger) aTag;- (UISwitch *) switchWithTag: (NSInteger) aTag;@end
