Problems changing background color of drawer

[James]

Hello,

I am following your examples and there is an apparent problem. I am attempting to configure my sidedrawer here.

 

class DrawerContentController: UIViewController, TKSideDrawerDelegate {


    var sideDrawerView: TKSideDrawerView? = nil
    
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()


        // Do any additional setup after loading the view.
       
        
        self.view.backgroundColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
        
        sideDrawerView = TKSideDrawerView(frame: self.view.bounds)
        self.view.addSubview(sideDrawerView!)
        
        
        
        let navBar = UINavigationBar(frame: CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.width, 64))
        let navItem = UINavigationItem(title: "Getting Started")
        let showSideDrawerButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "Show", style: UIBarButtonItemStyle.Plain, target: self, action: "showSideDrawer")
        navItem.leftBarButtonItem = showSideDrawerButton
        navBar.items = [navItem]
        sideDrawerView!.mainView.addSubview(navBar)
       
        let sideDrawer = sideDrawerView!.sideDrawer
        sideDrawer.title = "Navigation Menu"
          sideDrawer.fill = TKSolidFill(color: UIColor(red: 28 / 255.0, green: 250/255.0, blue: 241/255.0, alpha:1.5))
        sideDrawer.delegate = self
        sideDrawer.style.headerHeight = 80
        
      
        
     
        let sectionPrimary = sideDrawerView!.sideDrawer.addSectionWithTitle("Primary")
    
        sectionPrimary.addItemWithTitle("Social")
        sectionPrimary.addItemWithTitle("Promotions")
        
        let sectionLabels = sideDrawerView!.sideDrawer.addSectionWithTitle("Labels")
        sectionLabels.addItemWithTitle("Social")
        sectionLabels.addItemWithTitle("Promotions")
        sectionLabels.addItemWithTitle("Sent Mail")
        sectionLabels.addItemWithTitle("Drafts")


        
        
        
        
    }


    override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
        super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
        // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
    }
    
    func showSideDrawer() {
        self.sideDrawerView!.sideDrawer.show()
    }
    
    func sideDrawer(sideDrawer: TKSideDrawer!, updateVisualsForItemAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath!) {
        let section = sideDrawer.sections()[indexPath.section] as! TKSideDrawerSection
        let item = section.items()[indexPath.item] as! TKSideDrawerItem
        item.style.contentInsets = UIEdgeInset

 

Of particular focus to me is the background color. With this code I am still getting the default background with no changes. I am using this object as content for my drawer. I am using this object in my app delegate like so:

 

func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool {
        // Override point for customization after application launch.
        
        let contentController = DrawerContentController()
        
        let sideDrawerController = TKSideDrawerController(content: contentController)
    
        
        self.window?.rootViewController = sideDrawerController
        
        return true
    }

 

I just want to be able to change the background color of the drawer.

Please assist. Thank you

Hello James,

Thank you for contacting us.

When using SlideInOnTop transition type (which is by default) TKSideDrawer applies blur effect on its background. That is why you can't change the background in this scenario. You should set the blurType to None in order to be able to set the fill property:

sideDrawer.style.blurType = TKSideDrawerBlurType.None;

I hope this helps. Feel free to write back if you have further questions.

Regards,
Jack
