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 :)

I have made a resume maker app in iOS. It only has two fields for the work experiences. However, a user can have more than one experience and the number is uncertain. So, my app is restricting a user to enter the information for only two work experiences. Now my boss wants me to add a button and when I tap it one more field should be displayed for the experience. So, this will allow a user to add as much experiences as he wants. I have searched a lot about it but couldn't find anything helpful. If you can kindly lead me to any resource or just give a demo.
One approach you can do is to have a UITableView and have each single experience populated in each cell. Then when an add button is pressed, a view like UIPopover can appear and let the user fill out the info. After the form is filled, one extra cell would be generated to display the new experience. This approach works with deleting as well.
in my app and I'm using UiImagePicker also implemented UiNavigationControllerDelegate for some customizations as the delete key and the back button.
When the user browses the images from its library and chooses one, if you AllowEditing is enabled, the image picker shows a screen for cropping the photo ..
At the bottom of this view seems to be a TabBar controller with two buttons:
Choose Cancel and
I wanted to know if anyone knows how to change the text of these buttons ...
Can you help?
There is no supported API that gives you the ability to customize those buttons.
Perhaps the best solution is to find a custom replacement for UIImagePickerController. There may be one on github or Google code.
I've just been handed these requirements but wanted to check whats the best way to proceed with this?
There is a large Image file which needs to be displayed on an iPad which should be zoomable/pannable (thats the easy bit).
Now this image has several 'items' which need to be clickable - i.e. I need to generate a UIPopoverview with additional information about the item every time the item is clicked.
Whats the best way to go on about this?
TIA!
Button nested in the imageView did the trick!

I am looking for some framework that allows me to create a Photo Gallery that allows the user to swipe through pictures, and then select one and it takes them to a specific view based on that image. I seen this idea in another App, and didnt know if this was an open source framework, or if there is anything similar.
I wrote a library that should be able to handle this:
https://github.com/nicklockwood/iCarousel
Check out the "custom" or "time machine" carousels in the example app for something similar to what you've shown.
Here's a screenshot. Don't worry that it's not exactly the same as your picture; the angle, panel size, etc. can all be configured.
I am developing an iPad app that needs to have multiple image sources, on the device/Photo Albums, remote and some included with the app. Now the ideal situation would be to have a UIPopover controller with 3 tabs for each source. The only problem is I can't seem to figure out how to have a UIImagePicker be in its own tab. What I am trying to do is very similar to Apple's Keynote for iPad. The photo icon's popover has tabs and the far left tab called media for sure has a UIImagePicker in there. I have no idea how they did that, is it possible for me to do something like that? I think the main issue is that the Image Picker is it's own navigation controller and it cannot be pushed on to another navigation controller. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
check out this - https://github.com/key1jp/ELCImagePickerController
you can implement it with custom asset library
The built-in image picker is no good.
Create your own image picker and add it to your navigation controller as a normal view. Start from either the Matt Tuzzolo or the MyImagePicker from the WWDC 2010 sample code. Note that you probably want to add image and video preview - I copied the image viewer from MyImagePicker and added a 'add' or 'remove' button to it, and the same for video.
Your image picking is in two steps, one for selecting the group, and one for selecting the assets within the group. I recommend dividing the first step into a two - if there is only one, then go directly to that group, i.e. when you have found the first group, check whether that group was the last (block stop argument). Then push the right view controller.
Obiously modify the size of the thumbnails also, they are iPhone size now. Adding a line of metadata (icon and duration) looks much nicer and is more informative for video.
I also recommend adding a 'click-and-hold' function for extended information after like 2 seconds.
Handle different sources by creating a protocol which gives you what you want, i.e.
-(BOOL)isImageAtIndex:(NSInteger)index;
-(UIImage*)thumbnailForUndex:(NSInteger)index;
-(void)setSelectedAtIndex:(NSInteger)index;
Creating a source which handles local files, included resources and assets is perfectly possible - I use NSURLs and check on the url scheme.
Are you not using UITabBarController for your tabs? You should be able to add a UIImagePickerController directly to viewControllers. I'm not sure whether that is a supported use of the image picker, though; the documentation only mentions displaying it modally or displaying it in a UIPopoverController.
It's not usually useful to look at an Apple app to find out what you can do with various built-in controls, as Apple allows themselves to use private APIs.
