iOS开发：保证顶层

Question

Is it possible to programmatically (not via xib) add a button or other control on an arbitrary iOS app which is always on top? I want to make a bit more advanced screenshot app where the developer has to put (preferably) one line of code in his app which will show a button in the left top (for instance) and when the user clicks that it screenshots and opens a layer which, again, is guaranteed on top to enter some information and share via Twitter.

Can that be done and how?

Answer 1

You could either just make sure to call:

[self.view bringSubviewToFront:topView];

Or possibly add it to you app delegate window:

AppDelegate *delegate = (AppDelegate*)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
[[delegate window] topView];

Note: this will be on top of all views in every view controller until you remove it.
