How do I implement a left view controller in an iOS app? - ios

One of my friends is building an app and needs some help implementing a slide-out menu, kinda like what Slack or GroupMe has. He asked me since I have some experience with C. I found this open-source code, but the guides attached are either outdated or use methods I can't, as the app doesn't have a storyboard.main and is written in C. I was hoping someone either help me with using this without using Storyboard.main, or provide another implementation of the slide-out menu that I could incorporate into a C-built app.

You could try using a regular UIView for the menu and just have it offscreen until it is needed.

Try to use MMDrawerController library. It's very flexible in layout and easy for using.

iOS Weather Like Navigation Component

I'm trying to find the control that enables the horizontal scrolling with little dot navigation like the weather app has in iOS.
I can't seem to find it, and I'm assuming it exists because I see the exact same implementation in a ton of apps.
Bonus points if you can link to a Xamarin or Objective-C example (Xamarin preferred).
This is the UIPageViewController component, which is documented here:
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UIPageViewControllerClassReferenceClassRef/UIPageViewControllerClassReference.html
...and a thorough example follows below:

Hope this provides the functionality you're looking for, but I'm pretty sure it's the same component.

ios: How to implement navigation of a slide out menu?

So far I have been working with NavigationController. It's great for hierarchical navigation.
But, how do I implement a slide out menu that exists on every page, and is able to jump to any page?
Not caring about the design, I guess we would need to load/unload xib files manually to the superview?
Is this a good practice?
Probably the best way to get you going is to implement/check some of the already developed open source solutions.
Please, check out:
MMDrawerController which is a simpler version
and MSDynamicsDrawerViewController which is a bit more complicated (to develop) because it uses iOS 7 Dynamics.
Cheers.

SlideMenu Like Facebook Without Using Storyboard

I'm currently working on a project that is being developed without using a single XIB and it is a huge project. We are gonna release a new version by changing the user interface. It require for me to build a Slider Menu like we find in facebook app. I have plenty of sample coding which do it and every project uses Storyboard to set it up. My question is,
Is it possible to develop that without using Storyboard?
Thanks.

This is one of the best slide menu example code I have used.

How to Create a Slide-Out Navigation Panel in ios

1. How to Create a Slide-Out Navigation Panel in ios
One of the best sliding panels, that also supports UIKit Dynamics was created by Eric Horacek and it is called MSDynamicsDrawerViewController. It is available on GitHub.
There are many other open source libraries available online. Pick the one that suits your needs the best.
MasterDetailController
CCKFNavDrawer
GHSidebarNav
MFSideMenu
ADSlidingViewController
YASlidingViewController
ECSlidingViewController
DDSlidingPanels
MSSlidingPanelController
All you have to do, is read the documentation and embed the library in your project.
Its not a difficult thing to create that. there is a lot of source code available on git. you can use SWRevealViewController
REFrostedViewController
or you can follow this tutorial
Create Facebook like navigation,
ios-Slide Out Navigation
Itisn't a hard task once i found this tutorial, there are various other methods too followed as in Dribble. But the easiest method is to follow this tutorial.

iOS:Switching between views using UINavigationBarController

First of all, I am using XCode 4.2 and I am not using storyboards. I need to make an application with 2 views.
First view will contain a button and a navigation bar, the button's IBAction should only go to the second view, and from the secondview you should be able to go back to the first view via the Navigationbar.
My problem is the navigation controller / navigation bar, how do I set that up ?
I know that it would be smart using the singleView app and then add a navigation controller, the problem is that I dont know how to set it up in the code.
I have searched for similar problems on the internet, and I keep getting into posts where they use another SDK or using an older xcode etc.
What I do know is how to make the button, actions and delegation.
Anyone out there who is sitting with the one and only tutorial I am missing or can tell me how to do it ?
Thank you
Use the Master-Detail Application template. Ignore the stuff for tables, it has navigation stack implemented in it. By deleting the tables, you should be pretty much left with what you are after.
You should go to http://developer.apple.com/, search for UINavigationController, click on UINavigationController Class Reference, then look at one of the linked sample code projects there.
if you really want to learn how to implement it from scratch (and not depend on the master-detail template), i highly recommend the following resources:
the apple documentation on UINavigationController
the solutions from the big nerd ranch iOS Programming guide (particularly the Homepwner example)
also found this tutorial in a quick google search, but haven't fully vetted it in xcode 4.2 (there will likely be small differences in how you have to go through the steps).
