What is the name of the UIView/UIViewController in the left upper corner of the attached picture?
And more general question: where could an iOS developer find full and illustrated list of all available UIViews and ViewControllers?
Sorry, don't have enough reputation to attach the picture, please follow the link: image with iphone interface mockup.
That isn't a controller, it's a UIActionSheet. Also, the XCode documentation is pretty useful for browsing through iOS classes. To get to it, press the button in the top right-hand corner of XCode, labeled "Organizer".
More on UIActionSheet, you declare one by calling:
initWithTitle:delegate:cancelButtonTitle:destructiveButtonTitle:otherButtonTitles:
Make sure to set your controller as the delegate and to implement:
actionSheet:clickedButtonAtIndex:
to specify what should happen when a button is clicked.
To show the Action Sheet initially, it has a bunch of showFrom... methods to specify where it will appear on the screen (for iPad, at least).

So I've linked one button (the one which represent a trash, in blue) with a second scene on my project as shown in the following link: https://gyazo.com/52f140f12cd5d80dd7e4ea191e8daa5f
My problem:
I don't know why, but my popover does not fully appear, see this picture:
My question:
Knowing that i'm actually working with the interface builder, how can i manage this popover so it will be fully displayed (it actual size are normally set as 500*500)?
Or do I have to do it programmatically? If yes, can someone give me a hint?
Thanks in advance!
What are the constraints/alternatives to place an image that stays on top of all iOS "layers" and windows. Think of it as a lock screen but that still allows you to interact with you phone, meaning browse, answer calls, etc. The image will be displayed in a transparent way (say 40%) and will be launched by an application.
Not really sure what you are asking for but if you are looking for a way to add some code once and it shows everywhere on each of your ViewController then there really is no way to do that.
What you can do is
Use UIToolBar
add buttons to that tool bar
Add that tool bar to each ViewController in storyboard (where you need them)
Create a global function / method that you can call in from any ViewController that has the button actions in it. That way you edit the code once in one place and use it every where.
If you don't like UIToolBar then
you can add your own UIImageView and add a transparent background to it
Add your buttons on the UIImageView. (You will have to add constraints)
then show that on every ViewController
If all this seems to much work then you can use existing controls HERE and see which one fits your needs.
This maybe a good one - FCVerticalMenu
I remember seeing multiple apps that will have a little i on the bottom of the screen, and the corner will flap up a bit to show a few things, such as a masthead. The Maps app (before iOS6) has what I'm talking about in the bottom right corner. It shows allows you to print maps and drop the pin, etc.
I want to do exactly that. I want that corner to flap up, and show that I created it, and anything else. Is there any way I can create this? It can be text-based, image-based, anything. I tried something, but it didn't work:
I created the i (made a 'Round Rect Button' and turned it into an 'Info Light button), and tried making a new window in the .xib, and linking them together, but it didn't seem to work.
TL;DR: How do I create the info page that flaps up from the bottom right/left corner?
BTW: I'm using XIB, not storyboard.
That is fairly easy. You have to present your viewcontroller modally and set the transition mode:
controller.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStylePartialCurl;
You can try to start a new project....select Utility Application....it will make a flip between the two viewcontrollers....just change the transistionStyle to what I wrote above then it should curl up like in the maps app
i'm working on my first app and the problem a have is that the application interface design is quite customised, (even though it is a tab bar based app). now in one of the view controllers i need to present the user with the print interaction controller to print images. the thing is i don't use a navigation bar or a toolbar system or otherwise. i have managed to attach a target action method to a custom button. however, apple states that the printing interface should be presented by a system button (the one that looks like an arrow, kind of). question is: is there any way of putting a system icon inside a button that is not inside a (bar)?, or would it be ok to somehow tell the user (with an overlay or something) that tapping the button i'm using (the button is a red ribbon coming down from a picture frame) they will get the printing options?
Apple says:
Although the print button can be any
custom button, it is recommended that
you use the system item-action button
shown in Figure 6-1.
I'd interpret that to mean that you can use your own button if you want to.
You might want to consider having a toolbar at the top of the view for this particular tab. Just appearing on this tab. This would make the issue moot.
You could also, have the tool bar "slide in" and "slide out" from the top to provide access to this (and other?) actions. A single or double tap could instigate such an action.
Unfortunately, Apple doesn't expose the images for the custom bar button items in any reasonable manner. If you'd like access to them, I suggest using the bug reporter system at Apple's developer site to request that.
I'm working on an application that has the same layout as Facebook. I have several icons on the home screen and would like to to make my viewController appear like when one of the icons are tapped.
Any idea on how it works?
Are you asking how to make a view appear in the standard way when the icon is tapped? ie how to make a button which is an image
Or
are you asking how to make the view expand out like they do in the facebook app?
If your are asking the first one, you need to drag on a button in interface builder, then select it, in the button attributes window, in the first tab, in the 'type' drop-down (which is default to rounded rect), choose custom. then set either the image or background to your image (see whatever looks better). You can then link it up like a normal button with an IBAction.
If you are asking the second question, how do you make the views expand out and shrink back, then check out my tutorial:
