UISegmentControl and Swipe-To-Go-Back

I've been researching this problem all day and haven't found a suitable solution as yet.

I am trying to create a view similar to Notifications Centre in iOS7. There is a UISegmentControl at the top, On tapping on any of the tabs take you to a different screen. Swiping left or right take you forward or back to the last screen.

I'm looking at implementing this in a UINavigationController that has a UIViewController embedded in it.

I tried to just perform a segue based on the selectedIndex of the UiSegmentControl. This worked okay but crashes when going from one tab to another in a random order. Also, I don't get the swipe to go back. I don't need to swipe to go forward - just back.

I want to go to three different views - which all use the same viewController class (As these views do the same thing.

I'm using storyboards and iOS7 only.

Does anyone have any ideas how this could be done?

Follow this simple approach.

  • Have your UISegmentedControl in navigation bar with items as One, two, three.

  • Have a three UIView in your viewController as view1, view2, view3.

  • Set your UISegmentedControl's target method & set by default index 0 as selected & implement the method.

    [self.segmentedControl addTarget:self action:@selector(changeSegments:) forControlEvents: UIControlEventValueChanged];

-(void) changeSegments:(UISegmentedControl *)segment {
    // set your views alpha depending upon your selection.

 }

Hope that helps.

I think you should be using a UICollectionView for your different screens. That way you get swipe out of the box.

Then it's just a matter of linking the segmented control to the collection view.
