I would like to build the the UI as shown in the MockUp.
For this I need to have two UINavigationViewControllers Side by Side inside a TabBarController. And on the left side I need a VerticalToolbar...
What is the best way to handle this?
Thanks,
Stefan
You can use iOS ViewController Containment API's to achieve this.
Check 'Implementing a Container View Controller' topic in Apple Documentation for the same.
Also check this post.
Here I found a good article that points me to the correct use of UIViewController Containment :)

I'm trying to replicate the mini player on the Apple Music app. It looks like this:
Right now I have a UITabBarController plus two UIViewControllers. Now I wanted to put a UIView in the TabBarController (for the mini player) so its always on top of the content of the ViewControllers that are loaded in the tabs. But it seems to be impossible to add any UI elements into a tabBarController.
So my question is, what am I doing wrong and how can I create a View that is right above the tabbar and is above all other views in the tabs?
EDIT: the suggested duplicate doesn't answer my question. Is it not possible to add Views to the TabBarController via Storyboards?
To answer your question: No, you cannot add a view to the UITabBarController via storyboard.
Though you can have a look at LNPopupController. https://github.com/LeoNatan/LNPopupController
It's a wonderful library which will enable you to do what you want to accomplish.
To answer your EDITed question: No, it is not possible to add Views to the TabBarController via Storyboards. That's not how TabBarControllers work.
Options:
Follow the direction in the 'possible duplicate' link posted and add
subviews via code, or
Subclass UITabBarController and add subviews via
code, or
Write your own "tab bar controller" and, using IBDesignable and
IBInspectable, provide for adding subviews in Interface Builder
You could probably find inspiration / ideas by searching the web for "custom UITabBarController"
Good day!
How to arrange elements in ViewController so that when you switch SegmentedControll changed the contents of the second bottom half?
How to implement this with autolayout?
Thank you!
Ps. Very similar interface with Instagram (the first and second tabs). The Android turned out using TabHost, and there really tight... Or maybe this differently implemented and easier?
If you want to use a UISegmentedControl, you will have to manually manage switching the view controllers yourself.
You should take a look at these github projects, they provide view controller management coupled with a UISegmentedControl:
SNFSegmentedViewController
SDCSegmentedViewController
The other option is to use a UITabBarController instead. If you want a different look than what is provided by the UISegmentedControl, using the UITabBarController is the better option.
I am trying to have a nested ViewControllers in my App, is that possible?
For example, I would have my View Controller with multiple Views inside it, but each view is so complicated and always updating and animating, that I want to make it an independent ViewController, is something of such possible? If yes, how?
It is possible (and quite popular). Look for "container view controllers". Apple documentation
Yes it is possible.
Check out the Apple documentation for UIViewControllers. It is possible to add child view controllers to your controller.
I'm new to iOS programming, so I want to dive in the View Controller Container concept.
I'm learning by "monkey see monkey do" :D and I wanted to make a Slide-Out navigation (like Facebook/Gmail/Path) nothing original.
I've found different implementations, but this one , made by Clemens Hammerl, seemed to be very simple so I started messing around with it to see whats is going on. He uses a UINavigationViewController and a UITableViewController as the ViewController's for his container (CHSlideController).
From what I've read so far, this 2 ViewController's are Containers themselves, and felt a little strange about this, so I wanted to send normal ViewController's to my Container but I cannot see the views of those ViewControllers.
The thing that I what to ask you about is, how to implement an view controller container without using other build-in containers like UINavigationViewController / UITableViewController / UITabViewController / ...?
Do I need to overwrite some methods or fallow some protocol?
Thanks.
I'm only interested from iOS SDK 5.0+.
Frankly, i don't get the purpose of this question but anyway! :-)
If it's just for learning purpose as you mentionend, then check out this rather simple example for view controller containment under iOS5+.
If you want to know why view controller containment was a PITA prior to to iOS5, check out this excelent article.
As a side note, UITableViewController is not a view controller container!
UITabBarController, UINavigationController or UISplitViewController for example are containers!
I have to make an app for iPad which requires a UISplitViewController- like view but with extra navigation bars on the top. Unfortunately, the native UISplitViewController does not have support for this. As an example of what I want, consider the apple documentation site which looks like:
But what UISplitViewController offers is a part of it (Master-Detail controllers only):
So my question is: What is the best way to do this? Should I subclass UISplitViewController(which, I'm a little less confident of) or should I use loadNibNamed: or is there some open-source project out there?
Edit I need to put images, buttons and a search-bar in the extra top bar.
What you need it MGSplitViewController. It allows you to push the split view controller inside a navigation controller.
You can also accomplish what you require by digging in the view hierarchy and planting your view there, but MGSplitViewController would be more elegant.
I've recently developed a library and published on gitHub for IOS devices both iPhone and iPad. It's act like an UISplitViewController but there ara more customization option that you can use. https://github.com/ytur/USController
