MVHorizontalPicker

MVHorizontalPicker is a simple scrollable horizontal control, alternative to UISegmentedControl.

Motivation

While UISegmentedControl is a good way of selecting amongst a few options, generally it has only space to show up to 5 values on iPhone portrait mode. For larger option sets UIPickerView can be the right choice, however it also takes up more screen space.

MVHorizontalPicker is the ideal UI control for choosing an item from up to a dozen possible values.

Usage

class ViewController: UIViewController {

    @IBOutlet var picker: MVHorizontalPicker!
    
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
    
        picker.titles = [ "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday", "Sunday" ]
    }

    @IBAction func pickerValueChanged(sender: AnyObject) { // Value Changed event

        let title = picker.titles[picker.selectedItemIndex]
        print("selected: \(title)")
    }
}

Features

• Register to UIControlEvents.ValueChanged to check when the picker value has changed (same target/selector method used by UISegmentedControl).
• @IBDesignable properties for easier configuration in Interface builder
• Seamless integration in existing storyboards: Just drag a UIView, set the class type to MVHorizontalPicker and configure the presentation properties as needed.

Customisation

MVHorizontalPicker aims to be customisable. The following UI properties are currently supported:

• tintColor
• font
• itemWidth
• cornerRadius (IBInspectable)
• borderWidth (IBInspectable)

Auto-layout

MVHorizontalPicker is entirely built using auto-layout. As a result, it can be easily stretched to fit various widths and heights.

Installation

MVHorizontalPicker can be installed as a Cocoapod and builds as a Swift framework. To install, include this in your Podfile.

use_frameworks!

pod 'MVHorizontalPicker'

Once installed, just import MVHorizontalPicker in your classes and you're good to go.

Sample Code

A sample demo project is included to show how to use MVHorizontalPicker.
