iOS Question ShowPage2 with different Transition?

[ilan]

hi

i would like to use showpage2 to show a page with an animation, but not the default animation of scrolling from right to left. i would like to use a different transition.

from apple doc i understand that we can only set the transition for a page when we initialize it and not after that because the "TransitionStyle" property is read only and needs to be set on initialization. like:

init(transitionStyle: UIPageViewControllerTransitionStyle, navigationOrientation: UIPageViewControllerNavigationOrientation, options: [String : Any]? = nil)

how can we do it with b4i?

i know i could show the page as modal view controller but if i do it the page stays active and i cannot just show it again. i have to dismiss it but this needs to have always a list of the page stack and i dont want it. i just want to show a page with a specific transition and show another page from it and jump back from page 3 to page 1 and then again to page 2 and then to page 1....

is this possible?

The documentation link you posted is not relevant unless you are using PageViewController: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/pageviewcontroller.59290/#content

I don't recommend you to use PageViewController.

so is there a way to show a page with a different transition then the default scroll transition with showpage2 ?

I would like to show a HorizontalFlip transition when showing a page.

thank you

There is no simple way. It will be simpler to use a different panel instead of a different page.

ok. and how can I do it with a panel?

thank you

actually it is working if I use this code:

https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/page-over-tabbar.51019/#post-497775

Sub PresentPage2(Parent As Page, dialog As Page)
  Dim no As NativeObject = dialog
  no.SetField("modalTransitionStyle",1)

  Dim no2 As NativeObject = Parent
  no2.RunMethod("presentModalViewController:animated:", Array(dialog, True))
End Sub

the problem is that if I want to show page 1 from page 3 I get an error that I tried to show an active page.
I can only go back with page dismiss.

would it be possible doing it like this and clear on each show page the navigation controller page stack?

never mind, i will use the modal dialog and go back with page dismiss.

thank you

What type of transition do you need? Fadein,... ?

Horizontal flip.

 

[narek adonts]

Horizontal flip.

Sub ShowPageWithTransition(NavigationControl As NavigationController,PageToShow As Page,TransitionType As String, FromDirection As String)
    Dim no As NativeObject=Me
    no.RunMethod("trans:::",Array(NavControl,TransitionType,FromDirection))
    NavigationControl.ShowPage2(PageToShow,False)
End Sub

#if OBJC

-(void) trans: (UINavigationController*)nav :(NSString*)tp :(NSString*)from
{
CATransition *transition = [CATransition animation];
transition.duration = 0.3f;
transition.timingFunction = [CAMediaTimingFunction functionWithName:kCAMediaTimingFunctionEaseInEaseOut];
transition.type = tp;
transition.subtype = from;
[nav.view.layer addAnimation:transition forKey:nil];
}

#End If

and then

ShowPageWithTransition(NavControl,page2,"flip","fromTop")

You can google for other types of transitions names

Sure

#IF OBJC

-(void) trans: (UIView*)nav :(NSString*)tp :(NSString*)from
{
CATransition *transition = [CATransition animation];
transition.duration = 0.3f;
transition.timingFunction = [CAMediaTimingFunction functionWithName:kCAMediaTimingFunctionEaseInEaseOut];
transition.type = tp;
transition.subtype = from;
NSLog(kCAMediaTimingFunctionEaseInEaseOut);
[nav.layer addAnimation:transition forKey:nil];
}

END IF

and then

Sub ViewTransition(View As View,TransitionType As String, FromDirection As String)
    Dim no As NativeObject=Me
no.RunMethod("trans:::",Array(View,TransitionType,FromDirection))
End Sub
