Drop-in panel control for iOS with blurring background and screen-edge activation gestures.
##Screenshot
First, setup your view controller to display within the panel view controller, then instantiate MCPanelViewController like this:
UIViewController *controller = [[UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"Main" bundle:nil] instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"LightPanelViewControllerInNavigationController"];
controller.preferredContentSize = CGSizeMake(440, 0);
MCPanelViewController *panelController = [[MCPanelViewController alloc] initWithRootViewController:controller];
or using the convenience method on UIViewController:
MCPanelViewController *panelController = [controller viewControllerInPanelViewController];
Adjust preferredContentSize to set the desired width of the panel. The height is ignored.
Additionally, configure the panel like this:
panelController.masking = NO;
panelController.backgroundStyle = MCPanelBackgroundStyleTinted;
panelController.tintColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0.7 green:0.7 blue:1 alpha:1];
You can also use background styles MCPanelBackgroundStyleLight, MCPanelBackgroundStyleExtraLight and MCPanelBackgroundStyleDark to match iOS 7 built-in styles. tintColor property is ignored if style is not MCPanelBackgroundStyleTinted.
To open the panel programatically, such as from a button:
[panelController presentInViewController:self.navigationController withDirection:MCPanelAnimationDirectionRight];
or using the convenience method on UIViewController:
[self.navigationController presentPanelViewController:panelController withDirection:MCPanelAnimationDirectionRight];
You may also use MCPanelAnimationDirectionLeft. Present the controller in a full-screen view controller, such as a top-level navigation controller.
To configure a screen-edge gesture and add it to your top-level view controller:
[self.navigationController.view addGestureRecognizer:[panelController gestureRecognizerForScreenEdgeGestureInViewController:self.navigationController withDirection:MCPanelAnimationDirectionRight]];
