The SDL forums have moved to discourse.libsdl.org.
This is just a read-only archive of the previous forums, to keep old links working.

Maybe this is useful for other people. It needs to be compiled as .mm in
order to be callable from C++.

void PresentModalView( const char* viewName )
{
SDL_SysWMinfo info;
SDL_VERSION( &info.version );

if( SDL_GetWindowWMInfo( window, &info ) )
{
UIWindow* uiWindow = (UIWindow*)info.info.uikit.window;
UIView* view = [uiWindow.subviews objectAtIndex:0];
id nextResponder = [view nextResponder];
if( [nextResponder isKindOfClass:[UIViewController class]] )
{
UIViewController* viewController =
(UIViewController*)nextResponder;

// You can do some terrifying things with Objective-C
NSString* className = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:viewName];
Class ViewControllerClass = NSClassFromString(className);
id subviewController = [[[ViewControllerClass alloc]
initWithNibName:className bundle:nil] autorelease];

[viewController presentModalViewController:
subviewController animated:YES];
}
}
}

I think Sam added a function that makes this unnecessary , I don't recall the name.

Here IS how we used to do it.


-(void) swapViews {
UIWindow *windows = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow];
NSLog(@"the app has %d views ",[windows.subviews count]);
//toggle_pause();
UIView *view = [window.subviews objectAtIndex:0];
[view removeFromSuperview];
[windows addSubview:view];
}



-(void) swapViewsWithTransition {
UIWindow *windows = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow];
UIView *firstView = [window.subviews objectAtIndex:0];
UIView *secondView = [window.subviews objectAtIndex:1];
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:1];
[UIView setAnimationTransition:([secondView superview] ? UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromRight : UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromLeft) forView:firstView cache:YES];
[firstView removeFromSuperview];
[windows addSubview:firstView];
[UIView commitAnimations];

Hmm really? I can't seem to find it. I'm not sure it's really
appropriate for SDL anyway. It should however be possible as it's
likely to be a very common thing to want to do. Worth bunging in the
wiki somewhere anyway; though I'm not sure where.


I guess this makes the assumption that there is only one window? The
part I negelected to mention in my post is that "window" is an
SDL_Window* global, but it could just as easily be a parameter.

That's exactly how I implemented my application; I have subclassed the sdlappuikitdelegate and created my objc frontend, then i call some code that instances a second uiwindow and fills it with a sdl context
More details here: http://code.google.com/p/hedgewars/source/browse/project_files/HedgewarsMobile/Classes/HedgewarsAppDelegate.m

Yep, I've seen your app , nice.

I originally used multiple windows, but it really breaks (model wise not technically) the ios implementation.

I pretty easy to get hold of the sdl window and add view controllers to it, or get the encapsulated sdl view and add it to a view controller.

Is there any particular reason you used freepascal??

Also I am very interested in your android experience, I am having a great deal of problems with our app because it uses software yuv12 textures, and runs into memory issues very quick.

I have not been able to get sam's open gles 2 renderer to work, which should solve the problems.

Here's one for the road as they say

/* construct our view, passing in SDL's OpenGL configuration data */
view = [[SDL_uikitopenglview alloc] initWithFrame: [[UIScreen mainScreen] applicationFrame] \
retainBacking: _this->gl_config.retained_backing \
rBits: _this->gl_config.red_size \
gBits: _this->gl_config.green_size \
bBits: _this->gl_config.blue_size \
aBits: _this->gl_config.alpha_size \
depthBits: _this->gl_config.depth_size];

data->view = view;

UINavigationController *localNavigationController;
RootViewController *rootViewController;
rootViewController = [[RootViewController alloc] init];
SDLUIKitDelegate *appDelegate = [SDLUIKitDelegate sharedAppDelegate];
localNavigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:rootViewController];

//rootViewController.view.opaque = YES;
localNavigationController.view.alpha = 1.0;
localNavigationController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationFormSheet;
[localNavigationController setModalTransitionStyle:UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal];

if (firstTime) {

[appDelegate setSettingUp:NO];
[data->uiwindow addSubview: view ];
[data->uiwindow addSubview:localNavigationController.view];
printf("created two windows local first");
}else {
[data->uiwindow addSubview:localNavigationController.view];
[data->uiwindow addSubview: view ];
printf("created two windows sdl second");


}
