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.

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.
I'm starting a new iOS project in Swift, and my experience programming native iOS applications is minimal, so please bear with me if I use some whacky terminology or overlook some simple solutions.
I'm looking to replicate a pattern in the Instagram application, as seen here:
Selected Tab
Swiping Transition
For those who don't use Instagram, what's essentially going on here is something like a UIPageViewController (with swiping functionality), but with the tabs on top indicating the selected page.
Like in Instagram, I'm planning to have this functionality within a child UIViewController of a UITabBarController (you can see the "main" tabs on the bottom).
What I started out doing was creating static tabs and adding left and right gesture recognizers to the child UIViewController, which would change the page and update the indicator of the selected page on the tabs.
This works but I'm not really loving the way it looks, nor the way it's written. I don't like the idea of needing 2 instances of the tabs, and that certainly doesn't seem to be the way Instagram is doing it, because as shown in the second image, the indicator slides between the tabs.
I've searched a fair bit, but all references to replicating Instagram patterns seem to be outdated and don't address this specific element. Like I said, though, I haven't been programming native iOS for very long (I'm an Android developer and have used Xamarin for iOS), so it's possible I'm just not using the right keywords.
I'd appreciate any help y'all can offer!
Thanks
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.
I've been working on app, that has side-menu. I've been inspired by other apps, and I want my menu to look similar to theirs. Here are some examples (steam app menu, fb menu)
Basically my question is, what kind of outlets are used in this menu? My first thought was, that those are tableviews with sections and static cells. However, even if they are tableviews, I've got no idea how to style my tableview that way. All I came up with, was this crappy design :D
I would be very glad, if someone could show me right way :) Thank you guys
There are alot of similar open source controls available.
Please check the below links:
SASlidemenu
JWSlidemenu
CHSlidecontroller
NVSlidemenucontroller
DDMenucontroller

You look on the right path. Unfortunately it is simply down to design aspects and the assets you use.
This project recreates the menu in a very similar way to Facebook's.
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).
