How to use UIScrollView to switch between UIViews

Question

How would I build multiple UIViews with multiple subviews and switch between them using a UIScrollView? I would appreciate anyone who can upload some code. I am a complete noob withe the iPhone.

Answer 1

I would "tile" the UIViews in the UIScrollView, then implement some kind of paging or "snap-to" mechanism. Listen on the appropriate notifications from the scroll view, then whenever scrolling finishes, just programmatically align the scroll view to the boundaries of one of your tiled UIViews.

Alternately, look at using UIPageControl to implement this kind of behavior. The Weather app is a good example.

Hi Tim!!

I haven't done that, but I saw one example at the app development center. I'm adding the corresponding link:

I hope it helps

Have a look at the Page Control sample. This uses the UIScrollView paging functionality to do horizontal scrolling between multiple UIView pages.

This demo also has a UIPageControl that updates as you flick between the horizontally scrolled views.
