7. How to use three20 photo
views
Static Library; pay special attention to linker flags on web
site.
<TTPhotoSource> conforming object, which vends:
<TTPhoto> conforming objects
Note: <TTModel, TTURLObject>
Um. What?
8. /**
* TTModel describes the state of an object that can be loaded from a
remote source.
*
* By implementing this protocol, you can communicate to the user the
state of network
* activity in an object.
*/
@protocol TTModel <NSObject>
/**
* An array of objects that conform to the TTModelDelegate protocol.
*/
- (NSMutableArray*)delegates;
/**
* Indicates that the data has been loaded.
*
* Default implementation returns YES.
*/
- (BOOL)isLoaded;
9. /**
* Indicates that the data is in the process of loading.
*
* Default implementation returns NO.
*/
- (BOOL)isLoading;
/**
* Indicates that the data is in the process of loading additional
data.
*
* Default implementation returns NO.
*/
- (BOOL)isLoadingMore;
/**
* Indicates that the model is of date and should be reloaded as
soon as possible.
*
* Default implementation returns NO.
*/
-(BOOL)isOutdated;
10. /**
* Loads the model.
*
* Default implementation does nothing.
*/
- (void)load:(TTURLRequestCachePolicy)cachePolicy more:(BOOL)more;
/**
* Cancels a load that is in progress.
*
* Default implementation does nothing.
*/
- (void)cancel;
/**
* Invalidates data stored in the cache or optionally erases it.
*
* Default implementation does nothing.
*/
- (void)invalidate:(BOOL)erase;
@end
11. @protocol TTURLObject <NSObject>
@optional
/**
* Converts the object to a URL using TTURLMap.
*/
@property (nonatomic, readonly) NSString* URLValue;
/**
* Converts the object to a specially-named URL using TTURLMap.
*/
- (NSString*)URLValueWithName:(NSString*)name;
@end
12. How it works
TTPhotoViewController and TTThumbsViewController
TTURLCache caches images to memory and / or disk
TTURLRequestQueue handles downloading images
13. @protocol TTPhotoSource <TTModel, TTURLObject>
/**
* The title of this collection of photos.
*/
@property (nonatomic, copy) NSString* title;
/**
* The total number of photos in the source, independent of the number
that have been loaded.
*/
@property (nonatomic, readonly) NSInteger numberOfPhotos;
/**
* The maximum index of photos that have already been loaded.
*/
@property (nonatomic, readonly) NSInteger maxPhotoIndex;
/**
*
*/
- (id<TTPhoto>)photoAtIndex:(NSInteger)index;
@end
14. @protocol TTPhoto <NSObject, TTURLObject>
/**
* The photo source that the photo belongs to.
*/
@property (nonatomic, assign) id<TTPhotoSource> photoSource;
/**
* The index of the photo within its photo source.
*/
@property (nonatomic) CGSize size;
/**
* The index of the photo within its photo source.
*/
@property (nonatomic) NSInteger index;
/**
* The caption of the photo.
*/
@property (nonatomic, copy) NSString* caption;
/**
* Gets the URL of one of the differently sized versions of the
photo.
*/
- (NSString*)URLForVersion:(TTPhotoVersion)version;
@end
15. can use bundle://someImageFileNameHere as URL string
to load images from app bundle
can use documents://someImageFileNameHere as
URL string to load images from user documents folder
16. Other cool stuff about three20
URL-based navigation that can persist the path taken to
get to a given view controller and can push that stack of
views back on when the user re-opens your app.
Stylesheets to “skin” your app easily.
Pretty buttons and overlays.
Decent (visual) error handling for cloud-based apps
Simpler UITableView programming using TTModel*
17. Documentation and help

(I’m not affiliated with three20, I just use it a lot)
23. How to use it.
@protocol AFOpenFlowViewDataSource <NSObject>
//Tells the data source that will need this image.
//The data source should set the image as soon as it’s ready
- (void)openFlowView:(AFOpenFlowView *)openFlowView requestImageForIndex:(int)index;
- (UIImage *)defaultImage;
@end
//Allows the delegate to update other parts of UI for selection
@protocol AFOpenFlowViewDelegate <NSObject>
@optional
- (void)openFlowView:(AFOpenFlowView *)openFlowView selectionDidChange:(int)index;
@end
24. How to use it.
BTW: The sample code also has a useful image loading
subclass of NSOperation.
If you want to change the image for a given index, do
this:
[(AFOpenFlowView *)someView setImage:someImage forIndex:someInteger];
25. How it works
CoreAnimation 2.5D++
// Set some perspective
CATransform3D sublayerTransform = CATransform3DIdentity;
sublayerTransform.m34 = -0.01; // 1 / -zDistance where zDistance = 100
[scrollView.layer setSublayerTransform:sublayerTransform];
Dequeues images much like the UITableView
(and the TTPhotoview controller, too)
Draws only those images that are on screen
// the magic is here
- (void)layoutCover:(AFItemView *)aCover
selectedCover:(int)selectedIndex
animated:(Boolean)animated

28. What needs a-changin’
The animation is a little “off” for the rotation (seems like
it’s the wrong speed)
The z position of the flanking photos is not far enough
away.
Feels like there is a lot of friction.
The reflection under the covers is semi-transparent.
Apple’s view has the reflected images occlude those
behind as in “real life.”
29. How I “fixed” it.
Hacking others’ code is fun (really)
Let a scroll view do the animating left to right and set
which page is selected (and therefore rotated to face the
user) based on screen centerline.
// UIScrollViewDecelerationRateNormal = 0.998
// UIScrollViewDecelerationRateFast = 0.990
self.decelerationRate = .992;
30. How I “fixed” it.
scrolling a UIScrollView sets bounds constantly
and calls layoutSubviews a lot...
- (void)layoutSubviews
{
NSLog(@"[%@ %s]", self, _cmd);
halfScreenWidth = self.bounds.size.width / 2;
halfScreenHeight = self.bounds.size.height / 2;
int lowerBound = MAX(-1, selectedCoverView.number - COVER_BUFFER);
int upperBound = MIN(self.numberOfImages - 1, selectedCoverView.number + COVER_BUFFER);
// 1 / -zDistance where zDistance = 100
[self layoutCovers:selectedCoverView.number fromCover:lowerBound toCover:upperBound];
[self setNumberOfImages:numberOfImages]; // resets view bounds and stuff
CGPoint contentOffset = [self contentOffset];
int targetCover = (int) roundf(contentOffset.x / COVER_SPACING);
if (targetCover != selectedCoverView.number) {
if (targetCover < 0)
[self setSelectedCover:0];
else if (targetCover >= self.numberOfImages)
[self setSelectedCover:self.numberOfImages - 1];
else
[self setSelectedCover:targetCover];
}
}
31. Hijacking touch events
I think I stole this from Apple’s sample code
- (SBNotifyingWindow *)appWindow
{
id appDel = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
if([appDel respondsToSelector:@selector(window)])
{
UIWindow *window = [appDel performSelector:@selector(window)];
if([window isMemberOfClass:[SBNotifyingWindow class]])
{
return (SBNotifyingWindow *)window;
}
}
return nil;
}
- (void)setUpInitialState {
[[self appWindow] addObjectInterestedInTouches:self];
36. To Do
The center view doesn’t quite center after you throw the view
around. (UIScrollview’s friction stops where it wants to)
Would like to add flipping the front cover to another view and
add the rest of the UI in Apple’s implementation.
