iOS Tutorial PageViewController

PageViewController is a pages controller (similar to NavigationController and TabBarController) that allows the user to switch pages with a swipe gesture. It is similar to B4A ViewPager.

Using PageViewController is simple. You initialize the controller with the list or array of pages.
The next step is to set it as the key controller:

Private Sub Application_Start (Nav As NavigationController)
   Page1.Initialize("Page1")
   Page1.RootPanel.LoadLayout("Layout1")
   Page2.Initialize("Page2")
   Page2.RootPanel.LoadLayout("Layout2")
   Page3.Initialize("Page3")
   Page3.RootPanel.LoadLayout("Layout3")
   PVC.Initialize("pvc", Array(Page1, Page2, Page3))
   App.KeyController = PVC 
End Sub

Video example:


The example project is attached.

Note that there is no navigation bar. The title is made of a label.

Hello fellow programmers,

I am using PVC and I am trying to open directly to page2 if a condition is met. However I do not know how to change the page with code for the PVC controller and and haven't been able to guess it or find any documentation. Any help? Thanks!

Pedro

Hi Guys

is there a way to reference current page?

In particular, I am using mail composer from inside a class (shared code with B4A). According to the sample code, I need to reference Parent Page

mailc.Show(pg)

is there a simple way of finding the current page without having to rely on some global variable that I have to set every time a page is loaded

Thanks in advance

Tracking the current page with PageViewController is surprisingly difficult. I recommend you to switch to using ScrollView instead as in this example: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/paging-indicator-for-scrollview.66094/#content

It is nicer and it allows tracking the current page.

Thanks Erel, i will check it. I was just wondering if this changes the program flow. Currently, the same code works for B4A & B4I

It is more similar to B4A TabStripViewPager. A single page with multiple layouts.

Geting these messages when I start Your example in B4i - but Im not able to figur out what do do with the last line...

Application_Start​

Application_Active​

Page 1 is visible​

Unbalanced calls to begin/end appearance transitions for <B4INavigationController: 0x11f815200>.​

I have not made any changes from the original example...

You can probably ignore it. Do you see any problem?

In IOS You can drag & drop text from one app to another (also on a iPhone- without split screen).

I’m now testing to drag & drop text from one page with webview to another page with textview, by scrolling over from webview-page to textview-page.

But…
I can drag & drop with PageViewController-method, but the +sign disappears when I drag the text over to the textview-page, and no text is paced when I drop the text in the textviewer.

But…
If I do the same test - in a new app without PageViewController-method, I can drag & drop the text by “scrolling” back to the textview-page by using the “page back button”. By this method the +sign stays, and after dropping the text in the textviewer, the textview is updated with the new text.
