REComposeViewController

Replicates functionality of SLComposeViewController introduced in iOS 6.0. You can create composers for any social network out there. REComposeViewController doesn't provide logic for sharing, only its visual part.

Requirements

Xcode 4.5 or higher
Apple LLVM compiler
iOS 5.0 or higher
ARC

If you are not using ARC in your project, add -fobjc-arc as a compiler flag for all the files in this project.

Demo

Build and run the REComposeViewControllerExample project in Xcode to see REComposeViewController in action.

Installation

REComposeViewController requires the QuartzCore framework, so the first thing you'll need to do is include the framework into your project.

Now that the framework has been linked, all you need to do is drop REComposeViewController files into your project, and add #include "REComposeViewController.h" to the top of classes that will use it.

Example Usage

REComposeViewController *composeViewController = [[REComposeViewController alloc] init];
composeViewController.title = @"Social Network";
composeViewController.hasAttachment = YES;
// composeViewController.attachmentImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"Flower.jpg"];
composeViewController.delegate = self;
composeViewController.text = @"Hi there!";
[self presentViewController:composeViewController animated:YES completion:nil];

Set completion handler:

composeViewController.completionHandler = ^(REComposeResult result) {
    if (result == REComposeResultCancelled) {
        NSLog(@"Cancelled");
    }

    if (result == REComposeResultPosted) {
        NSLog(@"Text = %@", composeViewController.text);
    }
};

Alternatively, you may want to set your controller to conform to REComposeViewControllerDelegate protocol to receive notifications when user cancels / posts.

- (void)composeViewController:(REComposeViewController *)composeViewController didFinishWithResult:(REComposeResult)result
{
    if (result == REComposeResultCancelled) {
        NSLog(@"Cancelled");
    }

    if (result == REComposeResultPosted) {
        NSLog(@"Text = %@", composeViewController.text);
    }
}

Customization

REComposeViewController navigation bar can be customized via UIAppearance. You use the UIAppearance protocol to get the appearance proxy for a class. You customize the appearance of instances of a class by sending appearance modification messages to the class’s appearance proxy.

Example:

[composeViewController.navigationBar setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"bg"] forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
composeViewController.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem.tintColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:60/255.0 green:165/255.0 blue:194/255.0 alpha:1];
composeViewController.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem.tintColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:29/255.0 green:118/255.0 blue:143/255.0 alpha:1];
