The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome. In the ex
There is. You can add your view to the main window and bring it to front when you have to.
ReplyDeleteIn following code is presumed that _viewConroller and _anotherView are strong properties of appDelegate - configuration could of course be different.
This code would add small blue square on top left corner of the screen.
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
_viewController = [[ViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"ViewController" bundle:nil];
_anotherView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame: CGRectMake (0.0,0.0,20.0,20.0)];
[anotherView setBackgroundColor: [UIColor blueColor]];
self.window.rootViewController = self.viewController;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
[self.window addSubView: _anotherView];
[self.window bringSubViewToFront: _anotherView]; //not really needed here but it doesn't do any harm
return YES;
}
