I am trying to create a scrollView that populates a number of Views so the user can scroll through the views. The view is xib file and loaded to the scrollview but I can’t make copies of it.
I guess is something simple but I can’t figure it out.
1)I can create a new UIView though the for loop and I am trying to add the customView as a subview but it only adds on the last added view in the scroll view.( I am not sure if this is the efficient way to do this )
- trying to make copies didn’t work because I can’t modify each view. everything is a copy of the same one and then single change change ALL OF THEM
extension UIView{
func copyView() → UIView{
return (NSKeyedUnarchiver.unarchiveObject(with: NSKeyedArchiver.archivedData(withRootObject: self)) as? UIView)!
}
}
3)If there is a better way to do this without add a new view and subviews Instead just make copies of customView it would be perfect.
import UIKit
class ScrollTableViewCell: UITableViewCell {
@IBOutlet weak var scrollView: UIScrollView!
let customView:ViewForScrollView = (Bundle.main.loadNibNamed("ViewForScrollView", owner: self, options: nil)!.first as? ViewForScrollView)!
override func awakeFromNib() {
super.awakeFromNib()
self.scrollView.delegate = self
tileView(weatherHours: 4)
}
override func setSelected(_ selected: Bool, animated: Bool) {
super.setSelected(selected, animated: animated)
// Configure the view for the selected state
}
func tileView(weatherHours : Int){
let tileWidth : CGFloat = 60
let tileHeight : CGFloat = 60
let marginX : CGFloat = 15
let viewOriginX : CGFloat = 15
let viewOriginY : CGFloat = 5
var padding : CGFloat = 0
for (index) in 1...weatherHours{
customView.label.text = "\(index)"
let aView = UIView()
aView.backgroundColor = UIColor.red
aView.addSubview(customView)
// let addView = customView.copyView()
// let copyLabel = addView.subviews[0] as! UILabel
// copyLabel.text = “0”
aView.frame = CGRect(x: padding + marginX, y: viewOriginY, width: tileWidth , height: tileHeight)
padding = padding + tileWidth + 15
scrollView.addSubview(aView)
}
let scrollViewWidth : CGFloat = tileWidth + (padding) + 15
scrollView.contentSize = CGSize(width: scrollViewWidth , height: 80)
}
}
extension ScrollTableViewCell : UIScrollViewDelegate{
}
extension UIView{
func copyView() → UIView{
return (NSKeyedUnarchiver.unarchiveObject(with: NSKeyedArchiver.archivedData(withRootObject: self)) as? UIView)!
}
}
