Quick Start

Basic Usage

using Polyariz.iOS.Shchurov.HorizontalWheelView;

// Create the wheel view
var wheelView = new HorizontalWheelView();

// Configure appearance
wheelView.SetMarksCount(40);
wheelView.SetNormalColor(UIColor.White);
wheelView.SetActiveColor(UIColor.SystemBlue);
wheelView.SetShowActiveRange(true);

// Add to your view hierarchy
View.AddSubview(wheelView);

// Set up Auto Layout constraints
wheelView.TranslatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false;
NSLayoutConstraint.ActivateConstraints(new[]
{
    wheelView.CenterXAnchor.ConstraintEqualTo(View.CenterXAnchor),
    wheelView.CenterYAnchor.ConstraintEqualTo(View.CenterYAnchor),
    wheelView.WidthAnchor.ConstraintEqualTo(200),
    wheelView.HeightAnchor.ConstraintEqualTo(64)
});

Listening to Changes

// Create a listener
public class MyWheelListener : HorizontalWheelViewListener
{
    public override void OnRotationChanged(double radians)
    {
        double degrees = radians * 180 / Math.PI;
        Console.WriteLine($"Angle changed to: {degrees}°");
    }

    public override void OnScrollStateChanged(int state)
    {
        switch (state)
        {
            case HorizontalWheelView.SCROLL_STATE_IDLE:
                Console.WriteLine("Wheel is idle");
                break;
            case HorizontalWheelView.SCROLL_STATE_DRAGGING:
                Console.WriteLine("User is dragging");
                break;
            case HorizontalWheelView.SCROLL_STATE_SETTLING:
                Console.WriteLine("Wheel is settling");
                break;
        }
    }
}

// Set the listener
wheelView.SetListener(new MyWheelListener());

API Reference

Angle Control

Setting Angles

// Set angle in radians
wheelView.SetRadiansAngle(Math.PI);  // 180°

// Set angle in degrees
wheelView.SetDegreesAngle(45.0);     // 45°

// Set angle as complete turn fraction
wheelView.SetCompleteTurnFraction(0.25);  // 90° (quarter turn)

Getting Angles

// Get angle in radians
double radians = wheelView.GetRadiansAngle();

// Get angle in degrees
double degrees = wheelView.GetDegreesAngle();

// Get angle as complete turn fraction
double fraction = wheelView.GetCompleteTurnFraction();

Visual Customization

Colors

// Set colors using UIColor
wheelView.SetNormalColor(UIColor.White);
wheelView.SetActiveColor(UIColor.SystemBlue);

// Set colors using ARGB integer format
wheelView.SetNormalColor(0xFFFFFFFF);  // White
wheelView.SetActiveColor(0xFF54ACF0);  // Blue

Marks Configuration

// Set the number of marks around the wheel
wheelView.SetMarksCount(40);  // Default: 40

// Show or hide active range highlighting
wheelView.SetShowActiveRange(true);  // Default: true

Content Insets

// Add padding around the wheel (similar to Android padding)
wheelView.ContentEdgeInsets = new UIEdgeInsets(
    top: 0,
    left: 0,
    bottom: 32,  // Add bottom padding
    right: 0
);

Behavior Configuration

Snap to Marks

// Enable snapping to nearest mark when user releases
wheelView.SetSnapToMarks(true);  // Default: false

Value Constraints

// Restrict to positive angles only (0 to 2π)
wheelView.SetOnlyPositiveValues(true);  // Default: false

// Lock rotation at range boundaries (prevent wrapping)
wheelView.SetEndLock(true);  // Default: false

When both options are enabled:

• Rotation is limited to 0° to 360° (0 to 2π radians)
• Rotation stops at boundaries instead of wrapping around

Feedback Configuration

Haptic Feedback

// Enable/disable haptic feedback when crossing marks
wheelView.SetHapticFeedbackEnabled(true);  // Default: true

Uses UIImpactFeedbackGenerator with Light style, similar to UIPickerView.

Sound Feedback

// Enable/disable sound feedback when crossing marks
wheelView.SetSoundFeedbackEnabled(true);  // Default: true

Plays system sound ID 1104 (picker click sound) when crossing mark boundaries.

Event Listener

public class HorizontalWheelViewListener
{
    // Called when rotation angle changes
    public virtual void OnRotationChanged(double radians) { }

    // Called when scroll state changes
    public virtual void OnScrollStateChanged(int state) { }
}

Scroll states:

• HorizontalWheelView.SCROLL_STATE_IDLE (0) - Not scrolling
• HorizontalWheelView.SCROLL_STATE_DRAGGING (1) - User is dragging
• HorizontalWheelView.SCROLL_STATE_SETTLING (2) - Animating to final position

Advanced Examples

Example 1: Rocket Rotation Control

public class RocketViewController : UIViewController
{
    private HorizontalWheelView wheelView;
    private UIImageView rocketImageView;

    public override void ViewDidLoad()
    {
        base.ViewDidLoad();

        // Create wheel view
        wheelView = new HorizontalWheelView();
        wheelView.SetMarksCount(40);
        wheelView.SetNormalColor(UIColor.White);
        wheelView.SetActiveColor(UIColor.FromRGB(1.0f, 0.84f, 0.0f));

        // Create rocket image
        rocketImageView = new UIImageView();
        var config = UIImageSymbolConfiguration.Create(UIImageSymbolScale.Large);
        rocketImageView.Image = UIImage.GetSystemImage("airplane", config);
        rocketImageView.TintColor = UIColor.White;

        // Listen to rotation changes
        wheelView.SetListener(new RocketListener(this));

        // Add to view and setup constraints...
    }

    private class RocketListener : HorizontalWheelViewListener
    {
        private readonly RocketViewController controller;

        public RocketListener(RocketViewController controller)
        {
            this.controller = controller;
        }

        public override void OnRotationChanged(double radians)
        {
            // Rotate the rocket image
            controller.rocketImageView.Transform =
                CGAffineTransform.MakeRotation((nfloat)radians);
        }
    }
}

Example 2: Temperature Selector

public class TemperatureSelector
{
    private HorizontalWheelView wheelView;
    private UILabel temperatureLabel;

    public TemperatureSelector()
    {
        wheelView = new HorizontalWheelView();
        wheelView.SetMarksCount(100);  // 0-100 degrees
        wheelView.SetOnlyPositiveValues(true);  // Only positive temps
        wheelView.SetEndLock(true);  // Lock at 0 and 100
        wheelView.SetSnapToMarks(true);  // Snap to integers
        wheelView.SetActiveColor(UIColor.SystemRed);

        wheelView.SetListener(new TemperatureListener(this));
    }

    private class TemperatureListener : HorizontalWheelViewListener
    {
        private readonly TemperatureSelector selector;

        public TemperatureListener(TemperatureSelector selector)
        {
            this.selector = selector;
        }

        public override void OnRotationChanged(double radians)
        {
            // Convert to temperature (0-100°C)
            double fraction = radians / (2 * Math.PI);
            int temperature = (int)(fraction * 100);
            selector.temperatureLabel.Text = $"{temperature}°C";
        }
    }
}

Example 3: Volume Control with Feedback

public class VolumeControl
{
    private HorizontalWheelView wheelView;

    public VolumeControl()
    {
        wheelView = new HorizontalWheelView();
        wheelView.SetMarksCount(20);  // 20 volume levels
        wheelView.SetOnlyPositiveValues(true);
        wheelView.SetEndLock(true);
        wheelView.SetSnapToMarks(true);

        // Enable feedback for better UX
        wheelView.SetHapticFeedbackEnabled(true);
        wheelView.SetSoundFeedbackEnabled(true);

        // Customize appearance
        wheelView.SetNormalColor(0xFFCCCCCC);
        wheelView.SetActiveColor(0xFF00FF00);  // Green for volume

        wheelView.SetListener(new VolumeListener(this));
    }

    private class VolumeListener : HorizontalWheelViewListener
    {
        private readonly VolumeControl control;

        public VolumeListener(VolumeControl control)
        {
            this.control = control;
        }

        public override void OnRotationChanged(double radians)
        {
            // Calculate volume level (0-20)
            double fraction = radians / (2 * Math.PI);
            int volume = (int)(fraction * 20);

            // Update system volume or your custom logic
            Console.WriteLine($"Volume: {volume}/20");
        }

        public override void OnScrollStateChanged(int state)
        {
            if (state == HorizontalWheelView.SCROLL_STATE_IDLE)
            {
                // Volume adjustment completed
                Console.WriteLine("Volume adjustment complete");
            }
        }
    }
}

Implementation Details

Architecture

The library consists of four main components:

1. HorizontalWheelView: Main view class that manages state and coordinates other components
2. Drawer: Handles all rendering with 3D perspective effects and active range coloring
3. TouchHandler: Manages pan gestures, animations, and scroll states
4. Utils: Helper utilities for coordinate transformations

3D Perspective Algorithm

The wheel uses sinusoidal distribution to create realistic 3D perspective:

// Calculate gaps between marks based on angle
gap[i] = sin(angle / 2) * scaleFactor

// Apply shade based on distance from center
shade = 1 - SHADE_RANGE * (1 - sin(angle))

// Apply scale based on distance from center
scale = 1 - SCALE_RANGE * (1 - sin(angle))

Active Range Coloring

Marks change color based on their position relative to the rotation angle:

• Marks within |markAngle| <= |rotationAngle| use active color
• Other marks use normal color
• Zero mark (12 o'clock position) is always highlighted

Animation System

Settling animations use CADisplayLink for smooth 60fps rendering with deceleration interpolation:

// Decelerate interpolator with factor 2.5
interpolatedT = 1.0 - Math.Pow(1.0 - t, 5.0)

Troubleshooting

Build Issues

Issue: Library doesn't build

Solution: Ensure you have .NET 10.0-ios SDK installed
dotnet --list-sdks  # Check installed SDKs

Issue: Missing namespace errors

Solution: Add using directive:
using Polyariz.iOS.Shchurov.HorizontalWheelView;

Runtime Issues

Issue: Wheel doesn't appear

Solution: Check that constraints are properly set and view has non-zero size

Issue: Touch gestures not working

Solution: Ensure UserInteractionEnabled is true (it's enabled by default)

Issue: No haptic feedback

Solution: Haptic feedback requires iOS 10+ and a physical device

Issue: No sound feedback

Solution: Check device volume and silent mode settings
