使用addChildViewController手动控制UIViewController的切换

addChildViewController

If the new child view controller is already the child of a container view controller, it is removed from that container before being added.
This method is only intended to be called by an implementation of a custom container view controller. If you override this method, you must call super in your implementation.

如果这个子 view controller 已经被添加到了一个容器 controller 当中,那在它被添加进新的容器controller之前会从旧的容器中移除.

这个方法只能被用来实现一个自定义的容器controller添加子controller.如果你重写了这个方法,你必须调用super方法.

使用源码:

AppDelegate.h + AppDelegate.m

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface AppDelegate : UIResponder <UIApplicationDelegate>

@property (strong, nonatomic) UIWindow *window;

@end

#import "AppDelegate.h"
#import "RootViewController.h"

@implementation AppDelegate

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
    self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];

    // 加载根视图控制器
    self.window.rootViewController = [RootViewController new];

    self.window.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
    [self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
    return YES;
}

@end

RootViewController.h + RootViewController.m

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface RootViewController : UIViewController

// 获取当前屏幕尺寸
#define SCR_HEIGHT  [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.height

// 设置按钮高度
static CGFloat downLenth   = .f;

// 标示button的枚举值
typedef enum
{

    BUTTON_1 = 0x11,
    BUTTON_2,

} EFlags;

需要注意的地方:

1. 容器controller最好定义一个专门用来展示子controller相关view的区域,如例子中的,其中,masksToBounds很重要,要不然,整个controller都会被展示出来的.

self.showArea = [UIView new];
    self.showArea.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, SCR_HEIGHT - downLenth - 10);
    self.showArea.layer.masksToBounds = YES;
    [self.view addSubview:_showArea];
   
    [self.showArea addSubview:_firstVC.view];

2. 调用完addChildViewController之后还需要调用didMoveToParentViewController,官方文档里面有说明.

3. 为什么在点击一个按钮切换控制器的时候,showArea什么都不用设置,为何还能显示出变化呢?

其实这一点我也没弄明白为何呢.

4. 这个与UITabbarController的功能类似,都有懒加载功能,实际上可以用来当做模拟UITabbarController使用,具备更高自由度的定制Tabbar的功能.
