YRDropdownView

YRDropdownView is a view library for displaying stylish alerts, warnings, and errors. Based on Tweetbot's implementation, MKInfoPanel by Mugunth Kumar, MBProgressHUD by Matej Bukovinski and DSActivityView by David Sinclair, among other influences. Its API has been hashed out to make the code easily implemented and very versatile.

Using YRDropdownView in your project?

Be sure to contact me and let me know, I'd love to give your app some promo love. See the Contact section below to let me know!

Installation

To use YRDropdownView:

Copy over the YRDropdownView folder to your project folder. (Note: currently, the background is being drawn using a stretchable image, bg-yellow.png. Should you choose to supply your own background, you only need the YRDropdownView.h\.m files)
Enjoy!

Usage

Wherever you want to use YRDropdownView, import the header file as follows:

#import "YRDropdownView.h"

Basic

You can create your dropdown by calling the singleton method:

[YRDropdownView showDropdownInView:self.view
                             title:@"Warning"
                            detail:@"Danger Will Robinson. You cannot do that."];

By default, calling the above method will only dismiss when clicked on. To dismiss, then call:

[YRDropdownView hideDropdownInView:self.view];

Customizing

There are many different ways to customize the alert by calling different singleton methods:

+ (YRDropdownView *)showDropdownInView:(UIView *)view
                                 title:(NSString *)title;

+ (YRDropdownView *)showDropdownInView:(UIView *)view
                                 title:(NSString *)title
                                detail:(NSString *)detail;

                                 title:(NSString *)title

Notes

Automatic Reference Counting (ARC) support

ARC support has been neglected in part for now. Your contributions are more than welcome, however. If you want to use YRDropdownView in an ARC project, just add the [add the

-fno-objc-arc

compiler flag](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6646052/how-can-i-disable-arc-for-a-single-file-in-a-project) to all YRDropdownView files in your project.
