UIPageViewController with only one content view controller

Question

I have an app with webView and some JS-tricks to present text. Paging is implemented in JS and I just pass events from gestures to JS functions. But what I miss is animation. Know user just see another portion of text when he turns the page with swipe. So I decided to use UIPageViewController. I need a one controller to be shown and it will change it state during animation of turning. So the same one will be returned every time in

-(UIViewController*) pageViewController:(UIPageViewController *)pageViewController viewControllerBeforeViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController

and

- (UIViewController*) pageViewController:(UIPageViewController *)pageViewController viewControllerAfterViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController

Now I have an error doing this.

Finally, the question - can only one controller be used for proper animation in pageViewController?

Did you ever work this out? I have an identical scenario that I'm trying to implement right now. Thanks! — Matt Mc, Oct 04 '12 at 05:41
Nope, last try was with iOS 5.1 and it wasn't possible to use 1 view controller for paging. Several ones needed. — Pavel Oganesyan, Oct 04 '12 at 06:33

You can use UIView's transitionWithView: method to animate content changes and add a curl animation just like this:

    [UIView transitionWithView:self.view
                      duration:0.5
                       options:UIViewAnimationOptionTransitionCurlUp
                    animations:^{
                        // change your content here
                    }
                    completion:^(BOOL finished) {
                        // optional completion block
                    }];

Yes, nice solution but not the perfect one - such animation has only up and down directions but not left and right. – Pavel Oganesyan Jan 26 '12 at 18:31
The only possible solution, I guess. – Pavel Oganesyan Oct 04 '12 at 06:33

It seems to me you actually want to use a simple UIScrollView with pagingEnabled. Maybe you confused UIPageViewController with UIPageControl?

Nope. I need book-like animation and my content is already screen-sized. So no scroll needed. – Pavel Oganesyan Jan 26 '12 at 10:51
