iOS Open Source: Data Aware View Controller To Display UIViews In Grid Layout

December 13, 2012

BDDynamicGridViewController is an open source project written by Norsez Orankijanan which lays out UIView objects in a grid format.

Each action of reloading data results in a new layout. As far as user interaction there are currently two gestures available: long press and double tap.

The video below shows the demo application included in the project:


The alert dialogs shown in the video I added in the viewDidLoad method. The same information is also shown in the debug console:

self.onLongPress = ^(UIView* view, NSInteger viewIndex)
{
  NSString *msg = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@ index:%d", view, viewIndex];
 
  UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Long Press"
                        message:msg
                        delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"Ok"
                        otherButtonTitles:nil];
  [alert show];
 
  NSLog(@"Long press:%@ index:%d", view, viewIndex);
};
 
self.onDoubleTap = ^(UIView* view, NSInteger viewIndex)
{
  NSString *msg = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@ index:%d", view, viewIndex];
 
  UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Double Tap"
                        message:msg
                        delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"Ok"
                        otherButtonTitles:nil];
  [alert show];
 
  NSLog(@"Double tap:%@ index:%d", view, viewIndex);
};
