A simple component that can be used to present an info message/notice/warning to a user.
Instanciate it, you might want to keep a strong reference around.
SERFloatingAlertView *floatingAlertView = [[SERFloatingAlertView alloc] initWithText:message];
Customize it with an image.
floatingAlertView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"notice.png"];
and a background image. Stretchable, of course.
floatingAlertView.backgroundImage =
[[UIImage imageNamed:@"background.png"]
resizableImageWithCapInsets:UIEdgeInsetsMake(5, 4, 6, 4)];
Customize some more…
floatingAlertView.label.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"HelveticaNeue-Bold" size:13.0];
Tell it to show up. It will add itself as a subview and use a fancy animation to appear.
[floatingAlertView presentInView:self.view];
That’s it. It will go away when it’s tapped, kind of fall down. You can drag it out down as well.
You can dismiss it manually like so.
[floatingAlertView dismiss];
Wrap that in a block and dispatch_after if you want it to go away after a set time.
Also see the demo project and read the few lines of source, it’s not exactly rocket science. :)
This demo project includes an icon from Glyphish by Joseph Wain.
This component was inspired by ZAActivityBar among others.
Compatibility: iOS 5.0
Link against the QuartzCore framework.
This component depends on 3 other libraries just to have nice animations (well, I think they’re nice). Ridiculous. I know.
