RGPageViewController is a custom UIPageViewController written in Swift. It is inspired by ICViewPager by Ilter Cengiz but with some modifications. It combines an Android-like ViewPager with the blur effect introduced in iOS7. It is fully customizable and can also be used as a replacement for UITabBar.
Simply copy RGPageViewController.swift to your project.
Subclass RGPageViewController and implement it's datasource and delegate methods.
class MainViewController: RGPageViewController, RGPageViewControllerDataSource, RGPageViewControllerDelegate {
var tabTitles: NSArray = NSArray()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let dateFormatter = NSDateFormatter()
tabTitles = dateFormatter.monthSymbols
self.datasource = self
self.delegate = self
}
}func numberOfPagesForViewController(pageViewController: RGPageViewController) -> IntDescription: Asks the datasource about the number of pages.
Parameters: pageViewController
the RGPageViewController instance that's subject to.
Returns: the total number of pages.
func tabViewForPageAtIndex(pageViewController: RGPageViewController, index: Int) -> UIViewDescription: Asks the datasource to give a view to display as a tab item.
Parameters: pageViewController
the RGPageViewController instance that's subject to.
index
the index of the tab whose view is asked.
Returns: a UIView instance that will be shown as tab at the given index.
func viewControllerForPageAtIndex(pageViewController: RGPageViewController, index: Int) -> UIViewController?Description: Asks the datasource to give a ViewController to display as a page.
Parameters: pageViewController
the RGPageViewController instance that's subject to.
index
the index of the content whose view is asked.
Returns: a UIViewController instance whose view will be shown as content at the given index.
optional func willChangePageToIndex(index: Int, fromIndex from: Int)Description: Delegate objects can implement this method if they want to be informed when a page
is about to change.
Parameters: index
the index of the new page.
from
the index of the old page.
optional func didChangePageToIndex(index: Int)Description: Delegate objects can implement this method if they want to be informed when a page
changed.
Parameters: index
the index of the current page.
optional func widthForTabAtIndex(index: Int) -> CGFloatDescription: Delegate objects can implement this method if tabs use dynamic width
or to overwrite the default width for tabs.
Parameters: index
the index of the tab.
Returns: the width for the tab at the given index.
optional func heightForTabAtIndex(index: Int) -> CGFloatDescription: Delegate objects can implement this method if tabs use dynamic height
or to overwrite the default height for tabs.
Parameters: index
the index of the tab.
Returns: the height for the tab at the given index.
All RGPageViewControllerDataSource protocol methods must be implemented. All RGPageViewControllerDelegate protocol methods are optional.
// MARK: - RGPageViewController Data Source
func numberOfPagesForViewController(pageViewController: RGPageViewController) -> Int {
// return the total number of pages
return self.tabTitles.count
}
func tabViewForPageAtIndex(pageViewController: RGPageViewController, index: Int) -> UIView {
// return a simple label for the tab view
let title: String = self.tabTitles.objectAtIndex(index) as String
let label: UILabel = UILabel()
label.text = title
label.sizeToFit()
return label
}
func viewControllerForPageAtIndex(pageViewController: RGPageViewController, index: Int) -> UIViewController? {
// Create a new view controller and pass suitable data.
let dataViewController = self.storyboard!.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("DataViewController") as DataViewController
dataViewController.dataObject = self.tabTitles[index]
return dataViewController
}If you need something similar to a UITabBar but with the features of a UIPageViewController, change your tabViewForPageAtIndex(pageViewController: RGPageViewController, index: Int) and implement heightForTabbar() and override the default position RGTabbarPosition.Top.
// MARK: - RGTabbarPosition
override var tabbarPosition: RGTabbarPosition {
get {
return .Bottom
}
}
// MARK: - TabbarHeight
override var tabbarHeight: CGFloat {
get {
return 49
}
}
// MARK: - RGPageViewController Data Source
func tabViewForPageAtIndex(pageViewController: RGPageViewController, index: Int) -> UIView {
let title: String = self.tabTitles.objectAtIndex(index) as String
// create a RGTabBarItem and pass a title, an image and a color
// the color will be used for tinting image and text
let tabView: RGTabBarItem = RGTabBarItem(frame: CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, self.view.bounds.width / 6.0, 49.0), text: title, image: UIImage(named: "Grid"), color: nil)
// if you want to adjust the color for selected state of the item, adjust the tintColor
tabView.tintColor = UIColor.redColor()
return tabView
}Change the default orientation of the pageView by overriding pagerOrientation.
Default: UIPageViewControllerNavigationOrientation.Horizontal
Options: Horizontal | Vertical
// MARK: - UIPageViewControllerNavigationOrientation
override var pagerOrientation: UIPageViewControllerNavigationOrientation {
get {
return .Vertical
}
}Change the default position of the Tabbar by overriding tabbarPosition.
Default: RGTabbarPosition.Top
Options: Top | Bottom | Left | Right
// MARK: - RGTabbarPosition
override var tabbarPosition: RGTabbarPosition {
get {
return .Left
}
}Change the default style of the Tabbar by overriding tabbarStyle.
Default: RGTabbarStyle.Blurred
Options: Blurred | Solid
// MARK: - RGTabbarStyle
override var tabbarStyle: RGTabbarStyle {
get {
return .Solid
}
}Change the default style of the Tabs by overriding tabStyle.
Default: RGTabStyle.None
Options: None | InactiveFaded
// MARK: - RGTabStyle
override var tabStyle: RGTabStyle {
get {
return .InactiveFaded
}
