NotiView

NotiView is a CoreGraphics notification view inspired by @iHaz3 & @abart997.
You could choose the icon, title, description and even the tint color of the view.
It works with iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad, with retina display or not.
The view is dynamically resized according to the detail text length.

Usage

1. Create the notification view.

   // With default width (300.0f) NotiView *nv = [[NotiView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Title" detail:@"detail" icon:[UIImage imageNamed:@"icon"]];

   // Or create it with the width you need NotiView *nv = [[NotiView alloc] initWithWidth:300]; [nv setTitle:@"Title"]; [nv setDetail:@"detail"]; // this will update the nv height [nv setIcon:[UIImage imageNamed:@"icon"]]; [nv setColor:[UIColor purpleColor]];

2. Add the notification view to a superview

   // make sure the notification view is out of the screen to animate it CGRect f = nv.frame; f.origin.x = [self viewWidth] - f.size.width - offset; f.origin.y = -f.size.height; nv.frame = f; [self.view addSubview:nv];

3. Animate the view

   // show the notification view [UIView animateWithDuration:0.4 animations:^{ nv.frame = CGRectOffset(nv.frame, 0.0, f.size.height+20.0); } completion:^(BOOL finished) {

    // hide the view
    [UIView animateWithDuration:0.4 animations:^{
        nv.frame = CGRectOffset(nv.frame, f.size.width+20.0, 0.0);
    } completion:^(BOOL finished) {
        [nv removeFromSuperview];
        [nv release];
    }];
   

   }];
