public class UIPageViewController : UIViewController
Remarks
The UIKit.UIPageViewController presents its UIPageViewController.ViewControllers one or two at a time, transitioning between them using either scrolling or page-curl animations.
Like the UIKit.UINavigationController and UIKit.UITabBarController, the UIKit.UIPageViewController serves as a container for other UIKit.UIViewControllers. It has no visual ornamentation beyond its UIPageViewController.TransitionStyle animation. The following image shows a UIKit.UIPageViewController displaying 2 pages, sitting inside a parent UIKit.UIViewController that has a brown background.
To use a UIKit.UIPageViewController, application developers create some number of content UIKit.UIViewControllers that are logically connected by the UIPageViewControllerDataSource.GetNextViewController and UIPageViewControllerDataSource.GetPreviousViewController methods of the UIKit.UIPageViewControllerDataSource delegate object and assign the UIKit.UIPageViewControllerDataSource to the UIPageViewController.DataSource property of the UIKit.UIPageViewController, as shown in the following example:
C# Example
//Create the UIPageViewController and it's basic style
var pvController = new UIPageViewController(UIPageViewControllerTransitionStyle.PageCurl, UIPageViewControllerNavigationOrientation.Horizontal);
//Specify the data source for the pages
pvController.DataSource = new PageDataSource(pages);
pvController.View.Frame = View.Bounds;
//Set the initial content (first pages)
pvController.SetViewControllers(new UIViewController[] { pages[0], pages[1] }, UIPageViewControllerNavigationDirection.Forward, false, s => {});
//...etc...
public class PageDataSource : UIPageViewControllerDataSource
{
List<PageController> pages;
public PageDataSource(List<PageController> pages)
{
this.pages = pages;
}
override public UIViewController GetPreviousViewController(UIPageViewController pageViewController, UIViewController referenceViewController)
{
var currentPage = referenceViewController as PageController;
if(currentPage.Index == 0)
{
return pages[pages.Count - 1];
}
else
{
return pages[currentPage.Index - 1];
}
}
override public UIViewController GetNextViewController(UIPageViewController pageViewController, UIViewController referenceViewController)
{
var currentPage = referenceViewController as PageController;
return pages[ (currentPage.Index+1) % pages.Count];
}
}
