How to make this simple view with swiftui? - swiftui

I am trying to do this view with swiftui but i am stuck.
I want the text("Mes évènements") to be centered and I want it to take all the place it can.
The two horizontal line should only take the place left.
I tried with HStack but I couldn't make it work as i would like to.

Here is a possible solution.
struct ContentView: View {
var body: some View {
HStack{
VStack{
OrangeLine()
}
Text("Mes évènements")
.font(.subheadline)
.fontWeight(.bold)
.foregroundColor(Color.orange)
VStack{
OrangeLine()
}
}
}
}
struct OrangeLine: View {
var body: some View {
Rectangle()
.fill(Color.orange)
.frame(height: 2)
.edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.horizontal)
}
}

Prevent SwiftUI Divider expanding horizontally

I have the following setup:
struct ContentView: View {
var body: some View {
VStack {
Text("Title").font(.title)
HStack {
Text("Hello:").bold()
Text("World")
}
}
.padding()
.background {
RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 8).stroke(.black)
}
}
}
which renders as follows:
When I add a Divider() into the VStack…
struct ContentView: View {
var body: some View {
VStack {
Text("Title").font(.title)
Divider() // Added this
HStack {
Text("Hello:").bold()
Text("World")
}
}
.padding()
.background {
RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 8).stroke(.black)
}
.padding()
}
}
… it forces the VStack to expand horizontally as large as possible.
How do I make the Divider fit to the other VStack content?
Having written the question, I tried some more things, and found a solution. Leaving here in case it is useful for others.
I just needed to add
.fixedSize(horizontal: true, vertical: false)
to the VStack, which makes all the subviews have the same horizontal size, resulting in…

Button Text Out-Of-Sync with Tappable Area

I have a navigation view with tab views inside. The reason for this arrangement is to make the tab views disappear when within the navigation views.
I am trying to place a button at the top right corner of the screen (outside the safe area). If EntryView is called directly, the view correctly places the button ("Save") in the corner without use of offset() or position() view modifiers.
When the tab view is called before EntryView, the Save button appears an inch or so below where I would like it to appear. With offset() or position() I can move the button text back where I would like it to appear, but the tappable area doesn't move to the new location.
I have tried different arrangements of ZStack and VStack, but the arrangement below is the closest I have come to getting the button to work in the upper right corner.
Here is where I would like the button to appear: https://i.stack.imgur.com/AMdKQ.png
Is there any way to move the tappable area up to where the text is located?
Or is there some better way to draw the top part of the view?
This code can be dropped directly into Xcode for analysis.
struct ContentView: View {
#State private var selectedTab: Tabs = .home
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
TabView (selection: $selectedTab) {
EntryView()
.tabItem {
Label("Home", systemImage: "house.circle.fill")
}.tag(Tabs.home)
HistoryView()
.tabItem {
Label("History", systemImage: "clock.fill")
}.tag(Tabs.history)
}
}
}
}
struct EntryView: View {
var body: some View {
GeometryReader { g in
ZStack (alignment: .top) {
Color.blue
.frame(height: (g.safeAreaInsets.top) * 0.6, alignment: .top)
.ignoresSafeArea()
HStack {
Spacer()
Button(action: {
print("Save tapped!")
}) {
Text("Save")
.font(Font.title3.bold())
.foregroundColor(.red)
.offset(y: g.size.height * -0.14)
// .position(x: g.size.width * 0.90, y: g.size.height * -0.115)
}
}
.padding(.trailing, 10)
}
}
}
}
struct HistoryView: View {
var body: some View {
VStack (alignment: .leading) {
Text("History Tab")
.padding(.top)
}
}
}
enum Tabs: String {
case home
case history
}

Closing A View From Another View

I am still learning SwiftUI and I have come across a small problem.
In my app, I have a main view. On the top is a search bar and at the bottom, a menu with different buttons. I want to change views when clicking those buttons. However, I only want to change the middle section.
No big deal, I will just put the middle part into a NavigationView. That works alright and I am able to change my views. My problem is that the buttons below do not have any impact on the new view.
To try to simplify: Let’s say I’m on home page. I then click the grocery list button (guess what I’m making school projects lol). My navigation link works just fine and goes to the list. So, now I’m on view 2 let’s say. When I press the home button, it doesn’t close that view and go to my main one. Here is my code setup:
import SwiftUI
struct ContentView: View {
#State private var searchText: String = ""
#State private var action: Int? = 0
var body: some View {
ZStack {
// Top Menu
VStack{
HStack {
Spacer()
TextField("Search",
text: $searchText)
.background(Color.white)
Button(action: {
self.action = 1
}, label: {
Image(systemName: "magnifyingglass.circle")
.font(.largeTitle)
})
Spacer()
}
// Body
NavigationView {
VStack {
Text("Can I See Something")
NavigationLink(destination: SearchView(), tag: 1, selection: $action) {
}
Text("Yes/No")
}
}
Spacer()
// Bottom Menu
HStack (alignment: .top) {
Spacer()
VStack {
Button(action: {
}, label: {
Image(systemName: "house.fill")
.font(.largeTitle)
})
.padding(.top)
Text("Home")
}
Divider()
.padding(.horizontal)
.frame(width: 2.5, height: 100)
VStack {
Button(action: {
}, label: {
Image(systemName: "newspaper")
.font(.largeTitle)
})
.padding(.top)
Text("Weekly\nAd")
.multilineTextAlignment(.center)
}
Divider()
.padding(.horizontal)
.frame(width: 2.5, height: 100)
VStack {
Button(action: {
}, label: {
Image(systemName: "checklist")
.font(.largeTitle)
})
.padding(.top)
Text("Grocery\nList")
.multilineTextAlignment(.center)
}
Divider()
.padding(.horizontal)
.frame(width: 2.5, height: 100)
VStack {
Button(action: {
}, label: {
Image(systemName: "person.crop.circle")
.font(.largeTitle)
})
.padding(.top)
Text("Account")
}
Spacer()
}
}
}
}
}
struct SearchView: View {
var body: some View {
ZStack {
Text("Nothing to see here!")
}
.navigationBarBackButtonHidden(true)
}
}
SearchView is a separate view (in its own file) in the app that opens up when the magnifying glass button is pressed. Currently it does not do anything. However I want to be able to press those buttons on this view above to still navigate the app.
Also, on another note, is there anyway to get rid of the back button?
In your code the buttons do not have any function.
Instead of creating a tab bar on your own, I'd rather take something like:
import SwiftUI
struct ContentView: View {
var body: some View {
TabView {
MainView()
.tabItem {
Label("Home", systemImage: "house.fill")
}
NewsView()
.tabItem {
Label("Weekly\nAd", systemImage: "newspaper")
}
OrderView()
.tabItem {
Label("Grocery\nList", systemImage: "checklist")
}
AccountView()
.tabItem {
Label("Account", systemImage: "person.crop.circle")
}
}
}
}
struct ContentView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
static var previews: some View {
ContentView()
}
}
struct MainView: View {
var body: some View {
Text("Home View")
}
}
struct NewsView: View {
var body: some View {
Text("News View")
}
}
struct OrderView: View {
var body: some View {
Text("Order View")
}
}
struct AccountView: View {
var body: some View {
Text("Account View")
}
}
In that case you'll have to create a view for each tab you are configuring (see the last 4 structs).
If you want to do it with a Stack with your own created buttons, I think you should create al 4 views as well and then you either hide them or put them out of focus by using an offset. In that case the buttons should hide/show the specific views or change the offset accordingly to move the specific views into the visible area. With the offset you also can add some animation.
Regarding the search bar on top of your app, since the views are all different, I wouldn't keep the same search bar everywhere, but if you really want to have it that way, you can embed the code + your search bar into a VStack (as you did it in your example).

How to center a second HStack View?

I'm having trouble centering that second "Date" Text within the HStack. As you can see, in the image, it is a bit farther to the left. I want only the second view to be centered in the HStack. I want the first View to be latched to leading.
Here is the code.
import SwiftUI
struct DaySummariesBarChart: View {
var body: some View {
HStack {
Text("Date")
.font(.footnote)
Text("Date")
Spacer()
}
}
}
struct BarChart_Previews: PreviewProvider {
static var previews: some View {
DaySummariesBarChart()
.previewLayout(.sizeThatFits)
}
}
This is a pretty clean way to do it:
var body: some View {
ZStack {
Text("Date")
.font(.footnote)
.frame(maxWidth: .infinity, alignment: .leading)
Text("Date")
}
}
The first Text gets a maxWidth of infinity, so it takes up the whole space, but is aligned to .leading.
The second Text is centered by default in the ZStack.
The Spacer() moves the Views to the left. Your problem should be solved by adding another Spacer() on the other side.
struct DaySummariesBarChart: View {
var body: some View {
HStack {
Spacer()
Text("Date")
.font(.footnote)
Text("Date")
Spacer()
}
}
}
You can use a GeometryReader to make the width of the Views exactly half and therefore center the second one.
struct DaySummariesBarChart: View {
var body: some View {
GeometryReader { geometry in
HStack {
Text("Date")
.font(.footnote)
.frame(width: geometry.size.width / 2)
Text("Date")
.frame(width: geometry.size.width / 2)
}
}
}
}

How To Ignore Insets In SwiftUI Form

I'm trying to ignore the automatic insets on a SwiftUI form in order to have an image fill the entire width of the screen. I've managed to do so by creating a fake section and adding negative padding, but this seems like a hack. Does anyone have a better suggestion?
struct ContentView: View {
var body: some View {
NavigationView{
Form{
Section(header:
Image("stockPhoto1")
.resizable()
.frame(height: 200)
.padding(.horizontal, -20)
.listRowInsets(.init())
){}
ForEach(0..<5){ section in
Section(header: Text("Section \(section)")){
ForEach(1..<Int.random(in: 3...8)){ row in
Text("Row \(row)")
}
}
}
}
.navigationBarTitleDisplayMode(.inline)
.navigationTitle("Form")
}
}
}
