Cocos2d 2.0 Adding UIView to CClayer openglview deprecated

Question

I'm having some troubles adding an UIView to cocos2d v2.0 since the openGlView is deprecated I can't add the view to it. I was looking around to find another way to do this but I couldn't find anything.

Can anyone tell me the new way to add an UIView in front of all cc layers?? or how can I accomplish this?

Answer 1

Use this instead of openGLView:

[[CCDirector sharedDirector] view];

hey thanks for your reply, but I don't think I can use this. What I want is to add a custom keyboard wich is a subclass of UIView into my main layer (CCLayer). I currently have the deprecated method working but I want to remove all warnings. – Muscolo

Just add the UIView to the window then, that would be the easiest way. If that doesn't work I think there are other workarounds for adding UIViews. – Barger

but to access the window I need to use openGlView which is deprecated. Guess I'll keep looking. Thank you XD – Muscolo

Also ccGLView is the new API for openGLView so this is specifically what you are looking for. – Barger

But what if you want to bring cocos2d view to the front? how would you accomplish that? – Aeromechanic

@JuanPabloBoero Not sure what you mean. Its the same as before just reference the view using CCDirector's view and just make your other subviews all behind that. – Barger

Answer 2

This worked for me!

[[[CCDirector sharedDirector] view] addSubview:myUiView];

Considering that openGLView is deprecated!
