Does any one have an idea how to access the UIScroller class , which is the default subview of UIWebView ?
I want to handle the touches, zooming , panning and scrolling features inside the webview .
Thanks..
I know this thread is old but if anyone comes across it there's a new way.
As of iOS 5 UIWebView now has a property called scrollView which you can't replace but you can set the properties of it. Most people just want to disable zooming/bouncing/scrolling all together which can be done by setting the properties of the scrollView for example if webview is a UIWebView:
webview.scrollView.bounces = NO; //Disables webview from bouncing
webview.scrollView.minimumZoomScale = webview.scrollView.maximumZoomScale = 1.0; //Forces zoom to be at 1 (can be whatever you fancy) and disables zooming
webview.scrollView.bouncesZoom = NO; //Disables bouncing when zooming exceeds minimum or maximum zoom
I suppose you could set the delegate for the scrollView if you want more control, though to be on the safe side you might want to store the original delegate and call its methods appropriately in your custom delegate.
Handling the touches would be more difficult since you can't replace the scrollView to provide your own handlers. Best you could do is add some gesture recognizers as part of the UIView and try to handle them there, but I think UIWebView will still receive the events. Alternatively in iOS 5 they let you access the gesture recognizers directly on UIScrollView.
You can find this by going like this:
[webview objectAtIndex:0]
That should be where it is. If not, put this in your code somewhere and run the program to search for the index of the UIScroller, and replace the 0 above with that index:-
for (UIView *subview in [webView subviews]){
NSLog(#"subviews of webView : %#", [[subview class] description]);
}

I have a uiviewcontroller which loads a uiwebview. When the uiviewcontroller loads the uiwebview everything is done correctly. But when one navigates away and returns back and the uiwebview is not loaded, it is displayed differently. The uiwebview scrollview's contentsize height changes by 64px, it gets higher.
When it is loaded for the first it looks like this
When one returns back to the view, this is what happens
I hope I was able to make my problem understandable. If more details are necessary, I am able to give more. Thank you
I had a similar problem, try this code in your viewDidLoad method.
if([self respondsToSelector:#selector(setAutomaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets:)])
self.automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets = NO;
You can do like this.
- (void) viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
self.automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets = NO;
}
I need to be able to hide the navbar and tabbar when I tap on the view and show it again when tapped again. Is this possible in Monotouch?
Anything that is possible with the native platform is possible with MonoTouch.
There are dozens of ways of achieving this. Perhaps the simplest thing to do is to create your own UIViewController that will host only the information you want and calling:
var myNewController = new MyNewController ()
myNewController.View.TouchDown += delegate {
myNewController.DismissViewControllerAnimated (false);
};
PresentModalViewController (yourNewController, false);
Then your myNewController must contain some code to add the actual contents that you want to show in full screen.
I am developing a control for an IPAD application (My first time doing Apple development). Its a simple control that mimics a grid - consists of a collection of UIViews (each of which represents a cell) all added to a parent UIView (in a grid like fashion).
One of the requirements is to implement a swipe gesture - the users swipe across the grid to activate/inactivate the cell - this corresponds to a 1/0 in the database.
I create a UISwipeGesture and added it to each of my UIView which represents a cell. That appears to be an incorrect approach as it fires the event for the UIView in which the swipe originated but not across all the UIViews.
My understanding would be that i need to implement the SwipeGesture across the parent UIView which contains all these children UIView. However if i do that how will i know which child UIView has been swiped over? Or any other approach which would make sense?
I know this thread is fairly old, but I created a Swipe extension method that might have helped.
View.Swipe(UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirection.Right).Event += Swipe_Event;
void Swipe_Event(ViewExtensions.SwipeClass sender, UISwipeGestureRecognizer recognizer)
{
View view = sender.View; // do something with view that was swiped.
}
This may not answer your question, but I can speak to the approach I've taken here with a similar use case:
1) I would abandon UIScrollView and use UITableView. You'll notice that UITableView inherits from UIScrollView and has all the performance benefits of virtualization and cell / view re-use. Which you'll find terribly useful as you work towards optimizing your app for performance on device.
2) Utilize the UITableViewCell's ContentView to create custom "Grid" cells. Or better yet, utilize MonoTouch.Dialog if you're not required to create Grid rows ad-hoc.
3) Use this awesome class (props to #praeclarum) to setup gestures in MonoTouch. You essentially provide a UIGestureRecognizer as a generic argument. You can then utilize the LocationInView method to grab the point in the UITableView where the gesture occurred
public void HandleSwipe(UISwipeGestureRecognizer recognizer)
{
if(recognizer.State == UIGestureRecognizerState.Ended) {
var point = recognizer.LocationInView(myTableView);
var indexPath = myTableView.IndexPathForRowAtPoint(point);
// do associated calculations here
}
}
I think you're correct that the gesture recognizer has to be attached to the parent view. In the action method associated with the gesture recognizer I think you can use the Monotouch equivalent of CGRectContainsPoint() to determine whether the swipe occurred in a particular subview. I imagine you would have to iterate through the subviews until you found the one in which the swipe occurred. I'm not aware of a method that would immediately identify the swiped subview.
I have a ViewController with a UIWebView, in a Objective-c project for iPad.
When I add html (with loadHtmlString), I try to keep the scroll position it had before the loadHtml, but I cannot help and it returns to the top.
Here are the lines I use:
scrollPosition = [[webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString: #"scrollY"] intValue];
[webView loadHTMLString:html baseURL:nil];
[webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"window.scrollTo(0, %d);",scrollPosition]];
I tested the value 'scrollY' at different locations in my code
and it stays at the value scrollPosition that I want, but when it ends up showing on the screen the WebView is always at the top (with the scrollY value then to 0).
Is there someone who could help me figure out why this happens?
I checked for hours the answers online, also on StackOverflow.
I tried different solutions (like adding in my webview the JavaScript "onclick="scroll(); return false;", but to no avail.
I tried to self-delegate the webView and update the scrollTo in webViewDidFinishLoad, but it seems that webViewDidFinishLoad is not called (the breakpoint is not reached) although I did add in .h in the interface and in the .m in ViewDidLoad the line: webView.delegate=self;
Thank you in advance for any help.
I realized that after recompiling, webViewDidFinishLoad was called after the html was updated, and that I could then scroll to the correct position.
For the self delegation I used in viewDidLoad, it looks so:
webview.delegate = self;
Before updating the html in the webView I calculate the scrolling position with the code:
scrollPosition = [[wbView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString: #"scrollY"] intValue];
Then, for moving back to this position once the webView has an updated html, I then use:
-(void) webViewDidFinishLoad:(UIWebView *)wbView {
[wbView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"window.scrollTo(0, %d);",scrollPosition]];
}
I found part of the solution through the post below, with the answer of Pawel:
How can I scroll programmatically to the bottom in a uiwebview
I have an application made by a UITabBar with three tabs. One of these is a UIViewController in which I implemented the willRotateToInterfaceOrientation to change the orientation and position of my views.
Everything works except when that view is not the currently shown. In that case willRotateToInterfaceOrientation is not invoked and my views are not set. Which is the best place where to set the new positions and sizes of those views when that tab is not the shown one? How would you implement this?
Thanks!
Just in case anyone else need this, I solved simply by setting the frames in the viewWillAppear method of the UIViewController, in case the orientation has changed.
