Circular Progress Bars in IOS

cocoa-touch, ios4, ios5, ios6, objective-c

Solution

The basic concept is to use the `UIBezierPath` class to your advantage. You are able to draw arcs, which achieve the effect you're after. I've only had half an hour or so to have a crack at this, but my attempt is below.

Very rudimentary, it simply uses a stroke on the path, but here we go. You can alter/modify this to your exact needs, but the logic to do the arc countdown will be very similar.

In the view class:

@interface TestView () {
    CGFloat startAngle;
    CGFloat endAngle;
}

@end

@implementation TestView

- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame
{
    self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
    if (self) {
        // Initialization code
        self.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];

        // Determine our start and stop angles for the arc (in radians)
        startAngle = M_PI * 1.5;
        endAngle = startAngle + (M_PI * 2);

    }
    return self;
}

- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect
{
    // Display our percentage as a string
    NSString* textContent = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", self.percent];

    UIBezierPath* bezierPath = [UIBezierPath bezierPath];

    // Create our arc, with the correct angles
    [bezierPath addArcWithCenter:CGPointMake(rect.size.width / 2, rect.size.height / 2) 
                          radius:130 
                      startAngle:startAngle
                        endAngle:(endAngle - startAngle) * (_percent / 100.0) + startAngle
                       clockwise:YES];

    // Set the display for the path, and stroke it
    bezierPath.lineWidth = 20;
    [[UIColor redColor] setStroke];
    [bezierPath stroke];

    // Text Drawing
    CGRect textRect = CGRectMake((rect.size.width / 2.0) - 71/2.0, (rect.size.height / 2.0) - 45/2.0, 71, 45);
    [[UIColor blackColor] setFill];
    [textContent drawInRect: textRect withFont: [UIFont fontWithName: @"Helvetica-Bold" size: 42.5] lineBreakMode: NSLineBreakByWordWrapping alignment: NSTextAlignmentCenter];
}

For the view controller:

@interface ViewController () {    
    TestView* m_testView;
    NSTimer* m_timer;
}

@end

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    // Init our view
    [super viewDidLoad];
    m_testView = [[TestView alloc] initWithFrame:self.view.bounds];
    m_testView.percent = 100;
    [self.view addSubview:m_testView];
}

- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
    // Kick off a timer to count it down
    m_timer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:0.1 target:self selector:@selector(decrementSpin) userInfo:nil repeats:YES];
}

- (void)decrementSpin
{
    // If we can decrement our percentage, do so, and redraw the view
    if (m_testView.percent > 0) {
        m_testView.percent = m_testView.percent - 1;
        [m_testView setNeedsDisplay];
    }
    else {
       [m_timer invalidate];
       m_timer = nil;
    }
}
