NavigationContentSlider is a small, lightweight class which allows you to have "tabbed" style content for your views that you can switch between by swiping on the UINavigationBar (see the screenshots section below for a better representation of what I'm trying to say!).
NavigationContentSlider uses ARC, and is compatible with all iOS mobile devices (iPhone, iPod, iPad, iPhone 5, iPad Mini) running iOS 5.0+ (it may well work on lower iOS versions, but I haven't tested this). It can be used in both portrait and landscape mode.
Any view controller that uses this class MUST be part of a UINavigationController stack.
- Import the NavigationContentSlider.h/.m files into your project
- Create (or update) a UIViewController .h file so that it's derived from the NavigationContentSlider class, for example:
@interface RootViewController : NavigationContentSlider - Implement the four required dataSource methods (explained below)
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInNavigationContentSlider:(NavigationContentSlider *)navigationContentSlider
Return the number of sections you wish to have
- (NSInteger)widthOfSectionTitlesInNavigationContentSlider:(NavigationContentSlider *)navigationContentSlider
Return the width of the title for each section. In the demo example, you'll see that I increase this for iPads (as it looks better)
- (NSString *)navigationContentSlider:(NavigationContentSlider *)navigationContentSlider titleForSectionAtIndex:(NSInteger)index
Return the title for the section index
- (UIView *)navigationContentSlider:(NavigationContentSlider *)navigationContentSlider viewForSectionAtIndex:(NSInteger)index
Return the UIView for the section at the index
You can style the NavigationContentSlider using the same methods you would to style a UINavigationBar (since iOS5, using [[UINavigationBar appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:...] and [[UINavigationBar appearance] setBackgroundImage:...] etc...)
