As an iOS programming newbie I am struggling with a word game for iPhone.
The app structure is: scrollView -> contentView -> imageView -> image 1000 x 1000
(here fullscreen):
I think I have finally understood how to use an UIScrollView
with Auto Layout enabled in Xcode 5.1:
I just specify enough constraints (dimensions 1000 x 1000 and also 0 to the parent) for the contentView
and this defines the _scrollView.contentSize
(I don't have to set it explicitly) - after that my game board scrolls and zooms just fine.
However I have troubles with my draggable letter tiles implemented in Tile.m.
I use touchesBegan, touchesMoved, touchesEnded, touchesCancelled
and not gesture recognizers (as often suggested by StackOverflow users), because I display larger letter tile image with shadow (the bigImage
) on touchesBegan
.
My dragging is implemented in the following way:
- In
touchesBegan
I remove the tile fromcontentView
(and add it to the main app view) and displaybigImage
with shadow. - In
touchesMoved
I move the tile - In
touchesEnded
ortouchesCancelled
I displaysmallImage
with shadow again and - add the tile to thecontentView
or leave it in the main view (if the tile is at the bottom of the app).
My problem:
Mostly this works, but sometimes (often) I see that only touchesBegan
was called, but the other touchesXXXX
methods are never called:
2014-03-22 20:20:20.244 ScrollContent[8075:60b] -[Tile touchesBegan:withEvent:]: Tile J 10 {367.15002, 350.98877} {57.599998, 57.599998}
Instead the scrollView
is scrolled by the finger, underneath the big tile.
This results in many big tiles with shadows sitting on the screen of my app, while the scroll view is being dragged underneath them:
How to fix this please?
I know for sure that my structure of the app (with custom UIView
s dragged in/out of a UIScrollView
) is possible - by looking at popular word games.
I use tile.exclusiveTouch = YES
and a custom hitTest method for the contentView - but this doesn't help:
- (UIView *)hitTest:(CGPoint)point withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
UIView* result = [super hitTest:point withEvent:event];
return result == self ? nil : result;
}
UPDATE 1:
I've tried adding the following code to handleTileTouched
:
_contentView.userInteractionEnabled = NO;
_scrollView.userInteractionEnabled = NO;
_scrollView.scrollEnabled = NO;
and then set it back to YES
in handleTileReleased
of ViewController.m - but this does not help and also looks more like a hack to me.
UPDATE 2:
Having read probably everything related to UIScrollView
, hitTest:withEvent:
and pointInside:withEvent:
- on the web (for ex. Hacking the responder chain and Matt Neuburg's Programming iOS book), StackOverflow and Safari, it seems to me, that a solution would be to implement the hitTest:withEvent:
method for the main view of my app:
If a Tile
object is hit, it should be returned. Otherwise - the scrollView
should be returned.
Unfortunately, this doesn't work - I am probably missing something minor.
And I am sure that a good solution exists - by studying popular word games for iOS. For example dragging and placement of letter tiles works very smooth in Zynga's Words with Friends ® app and in the screenshots below you can see them probably using UIScrollView
(the scroll bars are visible in the corner) and displaying a tile shadow (probably in touchesBegan
method):
UPDATE 3:
I've created a new project to test gesture recognizer suggested by TomSwift and it shows the problem I have with gesture recognizers: the tile size changes too late - it happens, when the user starts moving the tile and not at the moment he touches it:
The problem here is that removing a view from the view hierarchy confuses the system, the touch is lost. It is the same issue (internally gesture recognizers use the same touchesBegan:
API).
https://github.com/LeoNatan/ios-newbie/commit/4cb13ea405d9f959f4d438d08638e1703d6c0c1e (I created a pull request.)
What I changed was to not remove the tile from the content view when touches begin, but only move on touches end or cancel. But this creates a problem - when dragging to the bottom, the tile is hidden below the view (due to scrollview clipping to its bounds). So I created a cloned tile, add it as a subview of the view controller's view and move that together with the original tile. When touches end, I remove the cloned tile and place the original where it should go.
This is because the bottom bar is not part of the scrollview hierarchy. If it was, the entire tile cloning would not be necessary.
I also streamlined the positioning of tiles quite a bit.
you could set the userInteractionEnabled
of the scrollview to NO
while you are dragging the tile, and set it back to YES
when the tile dragging ended.
You should really try using a gesture recognizer instead of the raw touchesBegan/touchesMoved. I say this because UIScrollView is using gesture recognizers and by default these will cede to any higher-level gesture recognizer that is running.
I put together a sample that has a UIScrollView with an embedded UIImageView. As with your screenshot, below the scrollView I have some UIButton "Tiles", which I subclassed as TSTile objects. The only reason I did this was to expose some NSLayoutConstraints to access/alter their height/width (since you're using auto layout vs. frame manipulation). The user can drag tiles from their starting place into the scroll view.
This seems to work well; I didn't hook up the ability to drag a tile once it is re-parented in the scrollview. But that shouldn't be too hard. For that you might consider placing a long-tap gesture recognizer in each tile, then when it fires you would turn off scrolling in the scrollview, such that the top-level pan gesture recognizer would kick in.
Or, you might be able to subclass the UIScrollView and intercept the UIScrollView's pan-gesture-recognizer delegate callbacks to hinder panning when the user starts from a tile.
@interface TSTile : UIButton
//$hook these up to width/height constraints in your storyboard!
@property (nonatomic, readonly) IBOutlet NSLayoutConstraint* widthConstraint;
@property (nonatomic, readonly) IBOutlet NSLayoutConstraint* heightConstraint;
@end
@implementation TSTile
@synthesize widthConstraint,heightConstraint;
@end
@interface TSViewController () <UIScrollViewDelegate, UIGestureRecognizerDelegate>
@end
@implementation TSViewController
{
IBOutlet UIImageView* _imageView;
TSTile* _dragTile;
}
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
UIPanGestureRecognizer* pgr = [[UIPanGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget: self action: @selector( pan: )];
pgr.delegate = self;
[self.view addGestureRecognizer: pgr];
}
- (UIView*) viewForZoomingInScrollView:(UIScrollView *)scrollView
{
return _imageView;
}
- (BOOL) gestureRecognizerShouldBegin:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer
{
CGPoint pt = [gestureRecognizer locationInView: self.view];
UIView* v = [self.view hitTest: pt withEvent: nil];
return [v isKindOfClass: [TSTile class]];
}
- (void) pan: (UIGestureRecognizer*) gestureRecognizer
{
CGPoint pt = [gestureRecognizer locationInView: self.view];
switch ( gestureRecognizer.state )
{
case UIGestureRecognizerStateBegan:
{
NSLog( @"pan start!" );
_dragTile = (TSTile*)[self.view hitTest: pt withEvent: nil];
[UIView transitionWithView: self.view
duration: 0.4
options: UIViewAnimationOptionAllowAnimatedContent
animations:^{
_dragTile.widthConstraint.constant = 70;
_dragTile.heightConstraint.constant = 70;
[self.view layoutIfNeeded];
}
completion: nil];
}
break;
case UIGestureRecognizerStateChanged:
{
NSLog( @"pan!" );
_dragTile.center = pt;
}
break;
case UIGestureRecognizerStateEnded:
{
NSLog( @"pan ended!" );
pt = [gestureRecognizer locationInView: _imageView];
// reparent:
[_dragTile removeFromSuperview];
[_imageView addSubview: _dragTile];
// animate:
[UIView transitionWithView: self.view
duration: 0.25
options: UIViewAnimationOptionAllowAnimatedContent
animations:^{
_dragTile.widthConstraint.constant = 40;
_dragTile.heightConstraint.constant = 40;
_dragTile.center = pt;
[self.view layoutIfNeeded];
}
completion:^(BOOL finished) {
_dragTile = nil;
}];
}
break;
default:
NSLog( @"pan other!" );
break;
}
}
@end
I also think you should use a UIGestureRecognizer
, and more precisely a UILongPressGestureRecognizer
on each tile that once recognized will handle pan.
For fine grained control you can still use the recognizers' delegate
.
