How to combine UIScrollview with UIPagecontrol to show different views?

Question

I\'ve searched and searched for a tutorial for this but none of them are what I\'m looking for. I\'ve tried Apple\'s sample but it is just colors and I don\'t know how to make i

I was experimenting with this just the other day. I'm still getting used to using a UIScrollView but here's how you can add views to your UIScrollView:

UIView *blueView = [[UIView alloc] init];
blueView.frame = CGRectMake(100, 0, 500, 1024);
blueView.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:164.0/256 green:176.0/256 blue:224.0/256 alpha:1];
[scrollView addSubview:blueView];
[blueView release];

UIView *orangeView = [[UIView alloc] init];
orangeView.frame = CGRectMake(700, 0, 500, 1024);
orangeView.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:252.0/256 green:196.0/256 blue:131.1/256 alpha:1];
[scrollView addSubview:orangeView];
[orangeView release];

Notice that I'm setting the x value in frame.origin of each view so that they're sitting adjacent to each other. You also have to set the content size of the UIScrollView with something like [scrollView setContentSize:CGSizeMake(1200, 1024)]; so that it knows how big its subviews are.

Then, if you need to control a UIPageControl, you would set its numberOfPages to 2 (for the example scrollview above) and change its currentPage property. You could do this by implementing scrollViewDidEndDecelerating:, which is a method in the UIScrollViewDelegate. You could check which "page" the scrollview is at by checking its contentOffset.x value.

Hope this helps!
