I have a universal app that requires two text inputs to display a list of options to choose from. I believe the UIPickerView is the best thing for this. However when I display it on the app it does not look good. Is there a standard practice on how this element should be presented ?
Thanks
Solved by dynamically creating the picker and assigning the picker to a text element.

I have implemented a custom UIMenuController with two aditional options besides the ones that are set by default in iOS (cut, copy, look up, share). I want to keep these standard options, but I want them to appear after my two custom items, does anyone know how to achieve this in an efficient way? Thanks in advance.
The UIMenuController documentation says:
Custom items appear in the menu after any system menu items.
So there is probably no approved way around that. It appears to be baked in functionality.
I'm working on dictionary and trying to give user possibility to choose keyboard he gonna use. Is there a way to get array of system keyboards just like in Settings>General>Keyboard>Keyboards>Add New Keyboard... ?
Question wasn't correct at all. There's no need in getting list, because there's no way to change keyboard language programatically. Instead founded this solution:
Change Language in the app programmatically
And here is list of languages suppored in IOS:

I am very first time developing the Spinner in iOS.
I searched a lot for default Spinner view in iOS, but failed.
What I get is, two ways to design spinner like view in iOS.
UIPickerview
Custom TableView which will be displayed on Click of DownArrow Button
I found the tutorial for UIPickerview.
But There are some OS orientation for this,
Means I want the UIPickerview in different Look & feel with selection style, also Scrolling of picker is not as I want.
So I was thinking to go for second options.
But Is there any other superior way to achieve this task,
As I think the second option is GOOD, but NOT BEST.
What I want is like the image below, its from Android,
I want to go for the same in iOS.
Thanks for help..
I think what you are looking is here
But I use RMPickerViewController which is more powerfull.
I am writing an iPhone app. My next step is to create a card object. I know how to do this theoretically, but my problem is coming from my lack of experience in Xcode.
This is my add item page
I want the user to specify a name and then choose an icon, either from the 3 most popular choices, another page of premade options, or take their own picture and use that.
Now, how do I show those choices in a way that the user can select one and I can collect their response? Right now, they are simply buttons, I can add my background image to them, but I don't know how to record their response. I would like it to show them their selection by adding that shadow around the box.
I'm not sure if a button is the best approach.
Also, I will need the same selection behavior for the image they take themselves, but I figure if I get the icon choices to work, I can figure out using a picture taken by the user.
Thanks for any help.
I would create button "Select image" below the uiimageview.
This button would present action sheet where you would have two options
a) select form existing
b) take a picture.
Then I would probably use Grid view to present the existing icons and UIImagePicker for taking pictures :)
What most people mean by autocomplete is that the app has a textview/searchbar/whatever which accepts user input. Attached to this component is a tableview which keeps updating based on the user input. This is a well researched topic and is now relatively easy to implement thanks to the UISearchDisplay controller.
Now here is what I want. When the user is typing in some text in the UISearchBar, there will be no searchdisplaycontroller. Instead, I want the app to do something like Google Instant on desktops. That is, if I type "Goog", the searchbar should show Goog*le. So the suggestion "le" should be in a lighter font than the rest of the user input string Google. So I don't want an auto-suggest feature, I want an autocomplete feature.
Any ideas on how I can do this?
Thanks!
Alternatively, you can use this UITextField subclass (inspired by DOAutocompleteTextField):
https://github.com/hoteltonight/HTAutocompleteTextField
It's got a few more features and is actively developed. The example shows you how to use an array as the data source for the autosuggest text.
I haven't tried it but here's a control that appears to do what you're asking for:
