HKRadialMenu contains: 1. An animated menu with an interactive central view that expands other peripherical interactive views. 2. A button that expands other sub-buttons when pushed (à la Prismatic App).

How to use it

  1. Use CocoaPods by adding pod 'HKRadialMenu' in your Podfile.
  2. Manually:
    • Clone this repository
    • Copy HKRadialMenuView, HKRadialMenuViewController, HKRadialMenuItemView, HKRadialMenuButton, HKRadialGestureRecognizer and UIView+Resizing files (.h and .m) into your project.
    • Implement a subclass of "HKRadialMenuViewController" and override the HKRadialMenuViewDataSource and HKRadialMenuViewDelegate protocol methods that you want to customize.
    • HKRadialMenuButton is a just a UIControl

How to configure it

HKRadialMenuView

Just like a UITableView, you need to provide a data source and a delegate to HKRadialMenuView

Data source:

  • - (NSUInteger)numberOfItemsInRadialMenuView:(HKRadialMenuView *)radialMenuView: returns the number of items (excluding the central one);
  • - (HKRadialMenuItemView *)centerItemViewForRadialMenuView:(HKRadialMenuView *)radialMenuView: returns the HKRadialMenuItemView (or subclass) that will be used as the central interactive view;
  • - (HKRadialMenuItemView *)itemViewInRadialMenuView:(HKRadialMenuView *)radialMenuView atIndex:(NSUInteger)index: returns the peripherical view that will be shown at the specified index.

Delegate:

  • - (BOOL)rotateItemInRadialMenuView:(HKRadialMenuView *)radialMenuView atIndex:(NSUInteger)index: if YES, the view will be viewed with its original rotation (very useful when using labels);
  • - (CGFloat)distanceForItemInRadialMenuView:(HKRadialMenuView *)radialMenuView atIndex:(NSUInteger)index: returns the radius at which the item will be placed;
  • - (void)radialMenuView:(HKRadialMenuView *)radialMenuView didSelectItemAtIndex:(NSUInteger)index: called when the user touches an item (except the central one).

Other customizations are available on HKRadialMenuView (also accessible through [HKRadialMenuView appearance]):

  • animationDuration: the duration of the expansion animation (in seconds);
  • delayBetweenAnimations: the delay between each expansion (in seconds);
  • angleRange: the range covered by the peripherical items (default to 0 - 2PI which forms a complete circle).

HKRadialMenuButton

HKRadialMenuButton is and works like a UIControl. To know what is happening with it just use UIControl's addTarget:action:forControlEvents: method with UIControlEventValueChanged. The best way to initialize HKRadialMenuButton is with initWithFrame:andCenterView:andOtherViews:andAngles:.

Read-only properties:

  • backgroundView: The background view, use it to customize the control's background.
  • contentView: The view that contains all the user-provided subviews.
  • isExpanded: indicates whether the radial views are expanded or not.
  • selectedIndex: this is the most important property, it indicates the index of the subview that provoked the UIControlEventValueChanged event. Can also be HKRadialMenuButtonCenterIndex (-1) which is the main (and always visible) view.

Appearance properties (also accessible through [HKRadialMenuButton appearance]):

  • expansionDelay: time (in seconds) before the peripherical buttons start showing. Default value is 0.5.
  • autoRotate: if YES, the view will be viewed with its original rotation (very useful when using labels). Default value is YES.
  • animationDuration: the duration of the expansion animation. The selection (grow and fade) animation is (animationDuration / 2). Default value is 0.5.
  • magnetismRatio: When a radial view becomes the active (and selectable) one, it moves slightly towards the center view at (magnetismRatio * distanceBetweenTheViews). Default value is 0.95.

HKRadialMenuButton can also have a delegate (with the HKRadialMenuButtonDelegate protocol):

  • radialMenuButton:highlightedView:atIndex: : is called when a view becomes the active one.
  • radialMenuButton:unhighlightedView:atIndex: : is called when a view loses its active state.
