Here is my issue, i got 5 view controllers and i can switch between them trough swipe with the UISwipeGestureRecognizer class and xcode's storyboard.

So this works, but, i dont like the slide effect. I like to make it in a way so you can exactly slide the view to another by dragging it.

Can anyone send me in the right direction? I searched on the internet but i cant find any functions or tutorial on how to do this.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Im not looking the scroll view. Because this will result in some white spaces when i have 3 slides vertical for slide 1 and 5 slides vertical for slide 2. Hope u guys can follow me!

Edit: This is what i try to accomplish. enter image description here **

  • Do they need to be separate view controllers? i.e. can you just use a scroll view with paging enabled? – mattjgalloway Mar 29 '12 at 12:31
  • Thanks for your quick reply, i can use the scroll view but its hard to design the other pages with the scroll view. I thought maby there is a way to scroll view controllers because that would be great to design on. – Joey Mar 29 '12 at 13:38
  • I update answer with sample project, it might helps – Sergey Kuryanov Mar 29 '12 at 16:32

I think you can use UIScrollView for your purposes. Check this Apple's sample code.

UPDATE:
Here is sample project that you need. I think it will be helpful. Sorry for naming - first use of github.
How it works:
- Creating root UIScrollView with set of "Root slides"
- Each "Root slide" has UIScrollView with Views that scrolls vertically
- Added check - we can scroll horizontally only from "Root slide"

  • Thanks for your reply, but that is not what i am looking for like i mentioned above. Thanks again. – Joey Mar 29 '12 at 14:18
  • What if you will try use one `UIScrollView` for scrolling "Root slides" and each "root slide" will have own `UIScrollView` to scroll subviews? – Sergey Kuryanov Mar 29 '12 at 14:34
  • Thanks Leon, great sample project! Exactly what i was looking for, not the best because it generates the view controllers programmatically but i will figure it out! Thanks again. – Joey Mar 29 '12 at 17:24

Use a UIPanGestureRecognizer instead and start the transition, if it was panned long enough.

Also you could try to use one paged ScrollView for each vertical slide and put them all together in a paged horicontal scrollview.

  • Were you suggesting to not use the UIPageControl? Im building a camera that should pan to view assets like Apple's Camera.app. Not sure if UIScrollView will be best or Using UIPageControl and overriding the gesture to have a timeout as you suggested. – wprater Jun 10 '12 at 03:49
