The above is a link basically showing the form fill view of the numbers app on the iPad. Any idea as to how to achieve such a functionality which sort of looks like our vanilla tabs on Chrome?
You could do it with just buttons set to Custom type and using an image for the background. Then when they are clicked, bring the specific UIView to the front.
To create the tabs from a single image use UIImage's stretchableImageWithLeftCapWidth: topCapHeight:

This will let you dynamically set the image's width in a way that will use the middle of it to fill the new area rather than stretching (and warping) the outer edges.
I would have implemented this with simple UIButtons. All you need to do is to style them (pngs or whatever), and track which one is the current.

I am looking to improve my app's signup and login form from standard text boxes to using table rows (or something similar).
I am pretty much inspired by the forms which SnapChat have created, which you can see below...
I'm trying to figure out how they accomplished this, and am thinking it must be a table view with 3 cells (Static?), and the text below is part of the footer of that selection of cells.
How is one able to then capture data into it directly?
Am I right in maybe assuming that each cell is 'custom' with a text field in each one (with placeholder text) with a no-borders style on the text field?
Or has this been achieved via some other way?
Keen to hear your thoughts. Thanks!
You absolutely could do that with a table view. But I don't think this one is. Notice the divider lines start at the far left rather than at 15 pixels in (with the text). The separator lines are also two pixels tall rather than one. So I'd say it's a safe bet that it's just a simple view with 1 pixel tall UIView's for lines.
Is there a way so that you can set both image and title of UISegmentControl simultaneously, so that image appear next to the title , just like image appear next to title in UIButton.
I am trying but if I set image of Selected segment of UISegmentControl then title disappears and if I set title of Selected segment of UISegmentControl then Image disappears, I want to set both at a time.
The official documentation for -setImage:forSegmentAtIndex: says
A segment can only have an image or a title; it can’t have both. There is no default image.
So, no, there is no way to do what you want using the image and title properties.
However, there are a few options to accomplish the objective in different ways.
if you are going to use the same image for each segment, you could use the appearance methods to set the background and then use the method -setContentOffset:forSegmentAtIndex: to move the title to the side of the background image.
you could create an image that had both the icon and the text in it. This is less than ideal as a change to the text requires exporting of the entire asset again. But is an option.
the least ideal would be to fake a segmented control using buttons that you write the code for to handle state changes. There may even be some open source options that do just that, so feel free to search for them.
Is there an option for a button/image to set, that it will always be shown on top? So I have 2 buttons and want to add an image. But the image covers the two buttons and I have no idea how I could get the image in the background or the buttons in the front.
BTW: I´m fairly new to xcode and programming...
Use the xCode top menu item Editor->Arrange. There you have options to handle z index for controls.
What I did was, to have two button one for the label and one for the image and when one is clicked it propagates the message to the other and does the action depending on which one was clicked.
What I'm trying to do is simple: bring a label in front of an image within a subview.
But all of the options for arranging are disabled/un-selectable when my label is selected. I find this happens often.
What could be the reason that I'm almost never allowed to change the z-axis of my objects in the Arrange menu? Is it a better practice to avoid this feature and set the order of views programmatically?
It can depend on how you have selected the label (similar to how the label can only be moved with the keyboard when selected in some ways).
A simple alternative is to look at the list of view in the pane on the left and to drag the views up and down to change the order.
It happens sometimes. In that situation, click the view or image you want to send back then you will see little square box at the edges of image from which you can re size your image, Just click on it once and then go to Editor > Arrange > Choose option according your need.
Hello everybody I am trying to create a screen (to see the image click here)
I have set it's backround image also created required list components which are click able by extending Field class. Now my problem is I am not able to set that rounded white color as backround of the list. Please help me. And also because I am new to the blackberry please also tell me the optimized way to create this screen.
i think like this
1) header bar - create manager and embed 2 buttons and 1 label in it
2) bottom bar - create a global class that contains the buttons and define a method that responds to the click event of these buttons
call that class in this main screen
3) for middle part use a list field which is scrollable
