How to avoid WKInterfaceTable overlapping the page control? - ios

When I use the WKInterfaceTable along with a page control, the table contents overlap the page control. Is there a way to avoid this?
The view's architecture:
-Group
-Label
-Table

Short of ensuring your views never require scrolling, there's no way to prevent this, unfortunately. It's come up on the dev forums numerous times, and no such API exists in the docs.
Here's a link to a relevant post in the forums: https://devforums.apple.com/message/1100695#1100695
Even if you could do it, I think it would be fairly confusing to users to not know which page they were on in your navigation.

preserveContent now added to mat-tabs?

Does anyone have a working example of this? I was originally implementing a solution similar to this answer here, but then saw that this feature was finally merged!
Does anyone have a working example of this? Our use case is having tabs that have functionality reliant on iframes on separate tabs persisting.
Actually, I found examples here in the feature pull request.
It is as simple as <mat-tab-group contentPreserve="true">
However, now it is causing unexpected behavior in my tabs (might be related to this mentioned in the Docs: "One gotcha here is that we have to set visibility: hidden on the off-screen content so that users can't tab into it.") - now the iframe is loading further down the page and out of normal view. I will tinker around with the styling as that may be the cause since we made some tweaks to account for or previous workaround. Glad to see this being implemented now and would still be eager to see other people's use of mat-tab-group!
Use preserveContent in mat-tab-group.
Keeping the tab content inside the DOM while it's off-screen

Which Controls do I have to choose in iOS development

an iOS app page, which descirbes some item's detail
This is kind of what I want to make
This is exact what I want
Actually I am not an iOS developer.
But a member of our team lacks of knowledge of consisting of iOS app Page(Scene)
I think he usually use table view all the time. which I guess he can't handle very well.
He always struggle about height of UITableView in dynamic pages.
As you see in the picture, page has two views, which I don't know how to call it.
If round button on the right side of a woman is pressed those two views switches.
I guess it's kind of "TAB".
Is it normal that using UITableView in this kind of page. or Which is best practise?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my english.
The first image can be made using a UITableView or UICollectionView(UITableView will do the job with lesser hassle). For second image, you'd wanna use a segmented control.
The third can be built using UICollectionView, however, there are plenty of third party libraries out there on github for the same and you might wanna check them out.
Last but not the least, have some faith in your developer. He seems to be a newbie if he's facing troubles with tableviews but believe me, we've all been there some day.Encourage him to ask questions on various communities. If he's curious enough, he'll be just fine after a while.

How are apps with typical menu-bar-style navigation coded?

I’m a relatively new app developer working on a couple of individual projects. I’ve dumped at least one hundred hours into coding using Swift in Xcode, and, as embarrassing as it may be to admit, it seems I can’t fully grasp or find information pertaining to how popular apps such as Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, or Tinder implement non-linear view navigation via a menu bar at the bottom of the screen.
I’ve seen one particular app tutorial series that exemplifies how to go about making this menu bar style possible using a collection view of horizontally-placed views each equivalent to the size of the screen. I understand this gets rid of the issue of loading new views on top of existing old ones that sit in the background (my primary worry, outside of unnecessarily reloading information), but is this the typical method of implementing non-linear menu navigation in an app? I suppose a more pressing question at this point is “How can I go about making something like this using SwiftUI?”
If anyone can offer information, explanations, and/or sources, they would all be much appreciated. Thank you for your time!
So, upon receiving TylerTheCompiler’s comment on my post, I started researching the UITabView. It appears that this is used for creating exactly what I was trying to explain in the initial post. I subsequently searched for a way to implement this in SwiftUI and found the “tabbed view.” The tabbed view seems very easy to implement and is exactly what I’ve been looking for. I still wonder if popular applications have been utilizing the UITabBar rather than something else more practical that I am still unaware of. If you happen to know, please comment on this post — I would love to know, myself. As always, thank you for your time, everyone!

Reusing Views ios

Trying to develop a test app wherethe look is like ebook. user can flip the pages. However, app will have 40-50 pages to go through. Is there anyway to just update one view and even after re using you can easily turn it over and back. or do I have to create more views to achieve objective.
Can someone pls provide suggestion on which technique to use to solve this issue and also what to use for flipping like ebook?
Since you have tagged your question with iOS5 you can use a UIPageViewController (see also this one) to handle this behavior for you (datasource handling, gesture handling etc.). The logic behind it is that you provide an array of view controllers where each one controls and provides content for a page in your book.
One way is, please look in to "page base application". Please create a new project as page base application and work on that. You will find good amount of documentation online for this.

Basics on how to setup horizontal paging in iOS app?

I've looked for this for a while, but I can't find any good guides or resources that explain it thoroughly (not even Apple's own documentation, which seems to not have as much information as I'd expect). I want to setup a basic interface that has 6 pages horizontally. Each page will have a bunch of labels and textboxes, but the layout will be the same for each page. Eventually, I want to be able to have each page scroll down to view all the content, but I'm assuming I just need to use scrollviews as the content for each page.
Also, each page will eventually have to have separate names for each textbox (and separate from the other pages too) because I'll need all the content of the whole app to be saved out later.
But really, for now, I just need to figure out how to get paging working. I tried following one demo but when I typed in the code, Xcode wasn't recognizing one of my classes (which I know I included it). Plus, I didn't understand what was going on really, and I feel that I need to understand what I'm coding.
Also as a side note, how do I start programming for iOS 5? I updated Xcode to the latest version which said it had support for iOS 5, but I only get up to 4.3 in my project target.
You can use this project http://cocoacontrols.com/platforms/ios/controls/icarousel, the only downside is it does not support cell reuse, so if you plan on having more than a 5 or so panels the app will really start to blog down.
For any future searchers that have found this thread, I was able to achieve what I wanted.
Basically, just make a scrollview the size of however many pages you want (multiply the width by how many pages you want and that will be the content width). Then just enable paging in interface builder and it will page through the view. Then you can just add content to the scrollview.
It's not hard. When I did it for some of my apps, I had a very detailed 'template view' which included primarily a tableview, but also lots of buttons and text fields and such. I was amazed at how well it all worked when put together -- no real trouble with gestures or anything. Apple's UIPageControl sample code is a good place to start.
