Screens, Windows, Views

Screens, Windows, Views

Figure 1-1  A window with its target screen and contentviews

 

There are three major objects at work here:

l A UIScreen object that identifies a physical screen connected tothe device.

l A UIWindow object that provides drawing support for the screen.

l A set of UIView objects to perform the drawing. Theseobjects are attached to the window and draw their contents when the window asksthem to.

 

 

Figure 1-2 shows how these classes (and related importantclasses) are defined in UIKit.

Views的特点：

l  一个视图代表一下用户交互元素，每个视图覆盖一个特定的区域。在这个区域中，视图显示和响应动作事件。UIView是从UIResponder继承的。

l  视图之间可以有父子层次关系。子视图在父视图内显示，这样父视图移动，子视图也会跟着移动

l  视图具有很强的模块化，与Controller和Model两边之间低耦合。当用户和视图所在区域交互，视图发送通知给Controller，但它并不知道它们响应在程序是做什么具体内容。

 

视图控制器管理视图

一个视图控制器管理一个视图，这个可能是有一堆子视图的根视图。

 

Figure 1-3  Aview controller attached to a window automatically adds its view as a subviewof the window

self.window = [[UIWindow alloc]initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];

self.window.rootViewController = self.viewController;

[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];

窗口获取screen大小

给window设置根视图控制器，viewController会自动创建UIView视图。然后再显示。这是一个应用委托主要做的事情。

视图控制器分为内容视图控制器(content viewcontrollers)与容器视图控制器(container viewcontrollers)
