Badges View for iOS

Please note that this documentation is included in the package, as well as a sample application.

How to use :

1) Include both LTBadgesView.h & LTBadgesView.m in your project

2) If you want to use the IB Editor :

• Add a UIView to your project that will fit with your badge needs (formerly use twice the height for the width, for example 80x40 pixels), put its color to transparent background and attach its style to LTBadgesView

• Declare it as an outlet in you class declaration and access its method to change its value, colors & attributes

3) By code, you can use this kind of declaration :

badge1 = [[LTBadgesView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(50, 100, 50, 40)];
[badge1 setMainColor:[UIColor redColor]];
[badge1 setValue:@"1"];
[badge1 setTextSize:18];
[badge1 setHighlightColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:0.1 green:0.1 blue:0.1 alpha:1.0]];
[self.view addSubview:badge1];

Available methods :

- (void)setBlinking:(BOOL)isBlinking;

• Set to YES or NO to start or stop blinking

- (void)setHighlighted:(BOOL)isHighlighted;

• Set to YES or NO to highlight the Badge. Please note that Blinking mode uses the highlight color.
