APParallaxHeader

This category makes it super easy to add a parallax header view to your scroll views. Other alternatives relies on subclassing of UIScrollView, UITableViewController or UITableView. Instead APParallaxHeader uses the Objective-C runtime to add the two following methods to UIScrollView without the need to do any subclassing.

- (void)addParallaxWithImage:(UIImage *)image andHeight:(CGFloat)height andShadow:(BOOL)shadow;
- (void)addParallaxWithImage:(UIImage *)image andHeight:(CGFloat)height;
- (void)addParallaxWithView:(UIView*)view andHeight:(CGFloat)height;

Installation

Manually

Important note if your project doesn't use ARC: you must add the -fobjc-arc compiler flag to UIScrollView+ APParallaxHeader.m in Target Settings > Build Phases > Compile Sources.

  • Drag the APParallaxHeader/APParallaxHeader folder into your project.
  • #import UIScrollView+APParallaxHeader.h wherever you feel the need.

Usage

(see sample Xcode project in /Demo)

Adding Parallax image

[tableView addParallaxWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"ImageName"] andHeight:160];

Adding Parallax custom view

Note: When adding a custom view. Either use APParallaxViewDelegate, auto layout constraints or contentMode to resize your custom view during scrolling.

UIView *customView = [[UIView alloc] init];
[customView setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 160)];
[self.tableView addParallaxWithView:customView andHeight:160];

[self.tableView.parallaxView setDelegate:self];

APParallaxViewDelegate

APParallaxViewDelegate will notify the delegate about resizing of the parallax view.

Methods:

  • - (void)parallaxView:(APParallaxView *)view willChangeFrame:(CGRect)frame
  • - (void)parallaxView:(APParallaxView *)view didChangeFrame:(CGRect)frame

ToDo

  • Ability to customize the drop shadow size, opacity, color etc.
  • Setting a minimum height
  • Setting contentMode of the imageView

Known issues

  • Section headers for tableviews with style UITableViewStylePlain will not be pinned as expected during scrolling.
