#FWTProgressView

FWTProgressView shows the progress of a task over time. The progress image, by default, is animated from left to right. As with UIProgressView you can set the progress value with or without animation.

##Requirements

• XCode 4.4.1 or higher
• iOS 5.0

##Features The FTWProgressView uses the method resizableImageWithCapInsets introduced in IOS 5.0 so, it won't work on any prior version. The idea behind is: provide your own custom images to the FWTProgressView and it will do the rest for you. FTWProgressView creates a patterned background color from progressImage and animates the layer position. The default progressView doesn't use any external asset.

This project is not yet ARC-ready.

##How to use it: initializing

FWTProgressView can be initialized in the following ways:

• defaultProgressView
• initWithProgressImage:trackImage:borderImage:

Parameters

progressImage a tile image used as pattern and eventually animated

trackImage a stretchable image

borderImage a stretchable image

Discussion

FWTProgressView uses its default values if any of the passed params is nil.

##How to use it: configure

animationType transition type that can be used (animation direction)

animationDuration amount of time it takes to move from 0 to progressImage width.

contentHorizontalInset the value to use to adjust the width of the content view. To create an inset rectangle, specify a positive value. To create a larger, encompassing rectangle, specify a negative value.

contentCornerRadius specifies a radius used to draw the rounded corners of the content view. The default value is 0.0.

borderEdgeInsets the inset or outset margins for the edges of the border view. Use this property to resize and reposition the effective rectangle.

##View hierarchy For a better understanding it can be useful to see the subviews/sublayers involved. Between braces the available public properties.

• progressView {progress, animationType, animationDuration}
  • contentView {contentHorizontalInset, contentCornerRadius}
    • progressLayer
    • trackView
  • borderView {borderEdgeInsets}

##For your interest The class method defaultProgressView creates for you the following images:

• progressImage
• trackImage
• borderImage

##Demo The sample project shows how to use and how to create a custom FWTProgressView. If you don't have time to read it this is what you need:

// i'm happy with the default
self.progressView = [FWTProgressView defaultProgressView];
[self.view addSubview:self.progressView];

// set the frame width
CGRect frame = CGRectInset(self.view.bounds, 10.0f, .0f);
frame.size.height = self.progressView.frame.size.height;
self.progressView.frame = frame;
