RadialMenu
Looking for help? For $150/hr I'll help with your RadialMenu problems including integrating it into your project. Email bjasper@gmail.com to get started!
Experimental Software: Fun to play with, but probably shouldn't put it in production (yet).
RadialMenu is a custom control that allows you to provide a context menu to a user on a touch screen (generally after a long press). This is similar to the record functionality Apple introduced for iMessage in iOS 8.
Here's an example of the iMessage menu recreated, taken from the demo app:
You can create your own custom menus as well
Plus it's built with Facebook POP, so it's very flexible!

Install
Copy the source files from the RadialMenu/ directory into your project.
How to use?
There are two examples provided which show how to use the control in detail (download and run the Xcode project). At a highlevel:
// Create a radial submenu (it's just a UIView subclass)
let subMenuRed = RadialSubMenu(frame: frameOfSubMenu)
subMenuRed.userInteractionEnabled = true
subMenuRed.layer.cornerRadius = subMenuRadius
subMenuRed.layer.backgroundColor = UIColor.redColor()
subMenuRed.layer.borderColor = UIColor.blackColor()
subMenuRed.layer.borderWidth = 1
subMenuRed.tag = tag
// Create multiple submenus and assign to array
let subMenus = [subMenuRed, subMenuBlue, ...]
// Initialize the radial menu
let radialMenu = RadialMenu(menus: subMenus, radius: menuRadius)
radialMenu.center = view.center
radialMenu.openDelayStep = 0.05
radialMenu.closeDelayStep = 0.00
radialMenu.minAngle = 180
radialMenu.maxAngle = 360
radialMenu.activatedDelay = 1.0
radialMenu.backgroundView.alpha = 0.0
// Setup event handlers for specific actions
radialMenu.onOpen = {
// menu has opened
}
radialMenu.onHighlight = { subMenu in
// perform highlight change
}
radialMenu.onActivate = { subMenu in
// did select subMenu
}
// Setup menu to show when pressing a button
let longPress = UILongPressGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: "pressedButton:")
button.addGestureRecognizer(longPress)
// Gesture handler can react to menu in different ways depending what you want
// (for example, keeping the menu open if nothing is selected)
func pressedButton(gesture:UIGestureRecognizer) {
switch(gesture.state) {
case .Began:
radialMenu.openAtPosition(button.center)
case .Ended:
radialMenu.close()
case .Changed:
radialMenu.moveAtPosition(gesture.locationInView(self.view))
default:
break
}
}
