How can I get the index of sub UIView in the paren

Question

I want to use exchangeSubviewAtIndex: withSubviewAtIndex: method.

but how can i get the indexes of those views? i already have their pointers, so I thought there might be a method like.

[parentView indexOfSubview:subview];

but I couldn't find that kind of thing in Xcode documents library.

please help me! thank you in advance.

Answer 1

[View.subviews indexOfObject:SubView];

Answer 2

You can find out the index of your object as you find in NSArray, because view.subviews return an array

NSUInteger index1=[parentView.subviews indexOfSubview:subview1];
NSUInteger index2=[parentView.subviews indexOfSubview:subview2];

[parentView exchangeSubviewAtIndex:index1 withSubviewAtIndex:index2];

Answer 3

You can get array index using this.

[view.subViews indexOfObject:yourSubView]; 

And try to catch that index.

NSInteger index=[view.subViews indexOfObject:yourSubView]; 

Try this code might be helpful to you...

Answer 4

This is how you get it:

[parentView.subviews indexOfObject:subview];
