Sliding view controllers and be able to reference the IBActions

[dynamite88]

Hi All,

I want to be able to switch from screen to screen created from the same view controller with the sliding left/right transition. So far I've tried the solution posted on this forum does not work for me (reference):

Just for those who are stranded like I was ...here's some code that worked for me. with this the new view slid in 
//1. Add the QuatzCore Framework from library to the Frameworks folder
//2. At the top include the header file

#import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>

//3. Implement the code 

yourViewController = [[YourViewController alloc] 
initWithNibName:@"YourViewController" 
bundle:nil];
// get the view that's currently showing
UIView *currentView = self.view;
// get the the underlying UIWindow, or the view containing the current view
UIView *theWindow = [currentView superview];

UIView *newView = yourViewController.view; 

// remove the current view and replace with myView1
[currentView removeFromSuperview];
[theWindow addSubview:newView];

// set up an animation for the transition between the views
CATransition *animation = [CATransition animation];
[animation setDuration:0.5];
[animation setType:kCATransitionPush];
[animation setSubtype:kCATransitionFromRight];
[animation setTimingFunction:[CAMediaTimingFunction functionWithName:kCAMediaTimingFunctionEaseInEaseO ut]];

[[theWindow layer] addAnimation:animation forKey:@"SwitchToView1"];

I also checked out another sample from Apple: Apple sample code

The two samples above do not slide to a view with interactions. I haven't been able to find a good example where we could possibly continually keep sliding left to a new screen without crashing (I get stuck on the first new screen since references to the IBActions are lost)? Any ideas on how to accomplish this?

Thanks in advance!

Gent,

I'm using a Tabbarcontroller and i want to change the first tab view to another view (not tab view!) slide to right/left like you do. initWithNibName and others like viewDidLoad are not triggered in my sliding view. Also how to i go back?

did you ever found solution for this?

Do you mean that you want to transition from one view controller to a different instance of the same view controller that displays different content?

Or are you trying to have a single instance of a view controller that manages multiple pages as views, and slides from one to the next?

If the second, do you have a small, fixed number of views that you want to display, or do you want to be able to display an arbitrary number of views?


The first approach might be a lot simpler than the second. Create a new instance of your view controller, set a custom transition, and push it onto a navigation controller. (or use a Segue if you're using Storyboards.)
