Custom switch in iPhone

Hi,
In my recent project, I need to make a custom switch having different colors depending upon theme selection.
Now , I have a solution for that... Make two class files with extension ".h" & ".m". Original Content is available at  HERE. I have made some modifications to the original contents as per my requirements.

SECTION 1 :
 -------------------------------------------------

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface CustomSwitch : UIControl

@property(nonatomic, retain) UIColor *tintColor;
@property(nonatomic, retain) UIColor *onTintColor;
@property(nonatomic, assign) UIColor *offTintColor;
@property(nonatomic, assign) UIColor *thumbTintColor;
@property(nonatomic,getter=isOn) BOOL on;

- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame;
- (void)setOn:(BOOL)on animated:(BOOL)animated;

@end

SECTION 2 :
  -------------------------------------------------

#import "CustomSwitch.h"
#import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>

@interface CustomSwitch () <UIGestureRecognizerDelegate> 
{
    CAShapeLayer *_thumbLayer;
    CAShapeLayer *_fillLayer;
    CAShapeLayer *_backLayer;
    BOOL _dragging;
    BOOL _on;
}
@property (nonatomic, assign) BOOL pressed;
- (void) setBackgroundOn:(BOOL)on animated:(BOOL)animated;
- (void) showFillLayer:(BOOL)show animated:(BOOL)animated;
- (CGRect) thumbFrameForState:(BOOL)isOn;
@end

@implementation CustomSwitch

Custom refresh control in iPhone

Hi,
Everyone,

Did you ever use "Custom Refresh Control" in your iOS application? I recently implemented this concept in my one of code. There's a ready-made control available called "ODRefreshControl". 

You just need to import to files into your project resource. "ODRefreshControl.h" & "ODRefreshControl.m". Please check below lines to use it in your code.

*******For Example :

1) Import Files : "ODRefreshControl.h" & "ODRefreshControl.m"
2) Put this into your class file.

- (void)viewDidLoad
{

    ODRefreshControl *refreshControl = [[ODRefreshControl alloc] initInScrollView:tbl_tableView]; // Assign your view in which you want to use it. I used it in my UITableViewController.
    [refreshControl addTarget:self action:@selector(dropViewDidBeginRefreshing:)  forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];

 [super viewDidLoad];
}

#pragma mark ---------------
#pragma mark UITableView Pull-To-Refresh Management
#pragma mark ---------------
- (void)dropViewDidBeginRefreshing:(ODRefreshControl *)refreshControl
{
    double delayInSeconds = 1.0;
    dispatch_time_t popTime = dispatch_time(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, delayInSeconds * NSEC_PER_SEC);
    dispatch_after(popTime, dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^(void){
        [refreshControl endRefreshing];
          // write your own refresh method here which you want to call.
    });
}

Thanks,
Nilesh M. Prajapati
