I want to know, A single UIViewController can have Max of views inside UIViewController. Even I have gone through in iOS Developer Forum, I haven't got answer for that.
There are no limitation for this, but its up to you that how exactly you need it, and how properly you're using it? In some cases, when you need multiple tableviews in your controller, its up to you that if you can manage it with a single table or would take more tables for this.
No limit but you have to manage properly.
please refer this link
Thank you

I'm brand new to Swift but I want to create an app that has a table and each entry in that table will lead to a new screen (but this new screen is the same for all the table entries) but depending on which table cell you click on, that screen has different information posted on it.
What are the steps I need to do to complete this? I have my story board I'm just not sure how to put this all together with code
Thanks in advance!
Well your question is very broad and not very specific. Therefore it is not easy to give a helpful answer. What I would do:
Create a UITableViewController that holds your "table".
Define a UITableViewControllerDelegate for the UITableView that will be informed about UserInteractions (especially when the user
didSelect a certain row of the table).
Based on the specific row (that was selected) you can create a second UIViewController class the shows your intended information.
I can not show some code samples because your question is to broad and things depend on a lot of things (especially on the kind of data you want to show) and how you implement your UIElements on the ViewControllers in InterfaceBuilder.
And if you are not yet familiar with the concept of a UITableViewController and its Delegate, than you should find some tutorials first about that basic technique in developing iOS apps.
You want to use the master/detail pattern. I suggest doing a search on that.
I want to implement a page control in my project so that every view can be accessed through swiping left or right. Every example I have looked at is to do with images, not views. I've been studying this and its of course images again. My application is a single view application. I'm not really sure what code snippets to give you so far, I don't think I do because I haven't done anything on this yet. If you need specifics, please comment and ask me, i'll be here all day.
Please help me!
Thanks.
The same idea should apply in the tutorial you cited. They're adding UIImageView to a UIScrollView. So in your case, instead of UIImageView just use UIView. Also you can think of the pageImages array as a data source about your views. For example, instead of an array of UIImage you can just have an array of some model object that helps you configure your view. However, keep in mind that the implementation in the tutorial for your case won't scale if you plan to have a lot of UIViews. That's because you want to effectively reuse views that aren't showing. When it gets to that point, you're better off implementing a UITableView that scrolls horizontally.
You can use UIPageViewController for paging effect. Check out this tutorial. It is written in obj-c but who cares. It will give you idea about using UIPageViewController.
All of our views are in a single storyboard. After we edit the interfaces we are responsible for, we find it is a disaster when we commit the storyboard. Do any better ways exist that make it easier to manage the storyBoard? Should we write UI with code instead of storyboard or xib? While it is really efficient to use storyboard.
What's generally worked for me and my team is to separate related functionality into different storyboards. So if one person is working on x portion of the app, stick all things x related there. As long as only one person is dealing with each component at a time, there's no chance for conflicts that blow up your whole storyboard.
Another thing to keep in mind if you can only use one storyboard, is to limit who can work on each ViewController in the storyboard. It's not the best idea to have multiple people working on the same controller anyways, since you will both be interfering with each others layout. I have found that as long as we stick to our own components, merges are super easy.
Your solution of using code instead of storyboard is also a very valid way to go about it. The decision between code and xib based approaches depends on the user. Code takes longer to get going, but is super easy to reuse, whereas xibs/storyboards make prototyping a snap but are very hard to reuse.

Should I use storyboard and mercurial for team work?
Storyboard is one single file, so only one person can work on the storyboard at once. It is essential factor for working with team in iOS.
The following post helped me to understand answer on this question:
http://robsprogramknowledge.blogspot.pt/2012/01/uistoryboard-best-practices.html
I'm trying to develop a universal iOS app and ideally I'm trying to get as much code re-use as possible.
I'm using storyboards so the UI is segmented into scenes.
In the iPhone storyboard the particular scene in question is best suited to a table view.
In the iPad storyboard, the equivalent scene in the storyboard would ideally implement a UICollectionView and so render the content in a grid.
Both views should implement a pull-to-refresh control which in one case is going to call a [UITableView reloadData] and in the other a [UICollectionView reloadData].
Anybody any advice on how to get the maximum amount of code re-use, ie. what does the controller class look like?
1 option would be to have 1 monolithic class that conforms to both the UITableView protocols and the UICollectionView protocols but this doesn't feel right.
Another option would be to have a base class and then subclass it with specialisations for iPhone and iPad. Whilst this feels cleaner, I'm still thinking there might be a better way. In my first attempt at this it felt like there was more code in the specialisation classes than there was in the base class.
The third plan I've considered is simply to use a UICollectionView in both apps therefore eliminating the complexity of the controller. Hopefully I could force the layout of the collection view to be a grid on the iPad whilst tell it to mimic a table view on the iPhone.
Whilst on the face of it this sounds easy I'm struggling to make a UICollectionView work exactly like a table view would do normally.
Any advice guys?
Many thanks,
CA.
If you are not using some of the specific UITableView features[1], making UICollectionView look exactly like a table is trivial. I think I would go for using UICollectionView as it will allow more flexibility in the future and you will have to use it anyways.
When you are talking about code reuse you probably mean the DRY principle. It just says you should not write the same code or the same information twice, but I don't think this is your main issue here.
I would use a UITableViewController on the iPhone and a UICollectionViewController on the iPad. I think this is the cleanest and easiest way to go. What exactly do you hope to reuse among both controllers? The both require two different delegate protocols, so most of the methods will be specific to one platform. You will need two NSFetchedResultsController if you're using Core Data, but reusing the fetched results controller code only makes sense if you need the same data on both platforms.
If you create a new universal project in Xcode you will get a basic project setup that looks different on iPhone and iPad. Try to understand it (there are some details to pay attention to) before you start programming, I think it will answer at least some of your questions.
I've made a project based completely on xibs. Now I need to add a table view whose cells will lead into the xibs I have in my project. All of the tutorials I've found for table view use storyboard, so I was wondering, how I would go about building the table view in storyboard in my current project and then having the detail view be my xibs? If that's not possible, would I have to start a new project that uses storyboard and then add all my xibs into the project? Finally, I think the easiest solution is to make a table view using xibs, not storyboard. Is this possible and if so, how do I do it?
Please let me know if my question is unclear or if you need my information. The last question I posted was left unanswered because I didn't ask correctly and I still have no idea why...so I don't want that to happen again.
The help is much appreciated. Thanks
You can add storyboards into a mainly xib based project but as you said using UITableView with xibs is what you would prefer and yes, you can do this.
If you go to File > New File > Objective-C Class > subclass UITableViewController. Tell it to make you a xib. This will implement UITableViewDelegate and UITableViewDataSource for you. Then you just need to provide it the necessary methods and it should work from there.
Here is a good tutorial that may help you: http://www.icodeblog.com/2009/05/24/custom-uitableviewcell-using-interface-builder/ (some of this is not relevant if you subclass UITableViewController because it will automatically establish the Delegate and DataSource properties).
Also, feel free to ask any questions if something does not make sense. I am a bit unsure as to what you are after exactly so my answer may not be perfect.
