I am trying to get a good idea of a good way to add items to a split view for iPad. My idea was where you tap the plus button and the table view scrolls down (quickly) to below the table that is there to a screen where you can enter in the new stuff. Then when you click done it zooms back up to the main table.
Is this possible and/or what is a better way to do a addition for a split view with a table to the left?
the point of using a split view is to flatten the heirarchy of doing things with a table view (basically), so why not when you hit the add button, have a view come up in the detail view (the right hand side) with fields to edit and etc? Or use a popover controller to display the 'add cell' view.

I am a beginner in developing iOS applications. Working in an application, where I am making all views programmatically.
I want to display a Map along with different bottom views. When first time the view is loaded, it displays Map along with first bottom view. When user performs an action, it displays the second bottom view but with the same Map View.
So in a nutshell I need to keep the same Map view but display several bottom view based on user action. I am looking for a better way to display bottom view based on user action and if user click on back button, it should return to last-displayed bottom view.
I tried to apply NavigationController on the bottom view controller (which is a child controller to Map View Controller) but it displays the child view in the entire windows instead of displaying in the bottom.
I also thought of registering bottom views to an event and show/hide bottom view based on what kind of event occurred. But here I also want to keep track of last event so when user clicks on back button it should display the last view. As this is very initial state so don't know if it's a good idea or not.
use a collection view with paging enabled and width of each cell equal to the screen width and scroll to next cell based on user action.
I'm trying to implement sth like images below. there are some views that should be displayed in a sequential order and a bar above them shows the flow of tasks.
as it is shown, first profile view should be displayed. when the user clicks on Go to Next View Button second view (price view) should be displayed. the top bar shows the current view where we are in it. I've tried PagingMenuController already to create a menu with views and then disable scrolling. but PagingMenuController loads all views at the same time and also i don't know how to go to next menu item within child views. now I'm thinking of a container view might be helpful but i didn't use container view so far and i don't know it's good for my purpose or not.
also i want that top bar without swiping between views (only on buttons) and one enable view at the same time.
any helps would be apprectiated.
Your question is both broad and vague. My answer is also going to be fairly high level. I suggest you follow my outline, and if you get stuck on a particular step, post your code, tell us about the problem you're having, and we can help you fix it.
This is pretty simple. Create custom view controller. Give it a container view at the bottom that would contain the current child view controller. Use view controller transition methods to switch between child view controllers. You'll want to add layout anchors to each new child view controllers to pin all of it's view's edges to the edges of the container view.
Create a custom control on top to show the dot and highlight the title of the current view controller.
If you want the next/previous buttons to be on the child view controllers, put them there, and add a delegate property to all the child view controllers that points to the parent view controller, with next and previous methods.
BTW, in languages, like English, where text is laid out from left to right, I would think your first page would be on the left and the last page would be on the right. (I think it makes more sense for profile to be on the left and pay on the right.)
I am trying to create an iPad app wherein I need to maintain a split view throughout the app. In the split view, the left view is static and the rightview changes according to the selection of left view. The right view in turn might contain toolbars through which I can navigate to new views, But the left view always remains same.
I might have gone in with a split view but the problem is the left view is not table view but I want to use a customised view here. Is it acceptable to do this?
Please suggest if there are any better ways make a split view without using the default split view controller.
A split view controller can have any type of view in each of its 'panes', the standard template has a table view but there is no requirement to do so. Start with the template and then edit the master view controller so it's a subclass of UIViewController, you can also remove or edit the XIB as you require.
My iOS6 app has a multi-level table view whose leaf nodes open up separate views. The animation from the first level of the table slides the old view out to the left and the new view in from the right. I'd like to also use this slide-in animation when transitioning from a table view to a non-table view. How?
Here's more info:
On the first level of the table view, there are disclosure Indicators . When one is clicked, the first level of the table slides off to the left and the second level view slides in from the right. Good.
On the second level of the table, there are Detail Disclosure Buttons which take the user to a detail view for that element in the table.
I'd like to offer the same animation here too: the table view should slide off to the left and the new view should slide in from the right.
First, am I correct that this is the correct animation to use in this case?
Second, do you know why this "slide in" animation isn't in the standard view animations in UIViewAnimationTransition below?
typedef enum {
UIViewAnimationTransitionNone,
UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromLeft,
UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromRight,
UIViewAnimationTransitionCurlUp,
UIViewAnimationTransitionCurlDown,
} UIViewAnimationTransition;
Finally, if I do want to use the same slide in animation that table views use, but it's not available as one of the standard views, how should I add this animation when transitioning between a table view and a non-table view?
Typically this type of animation is done in a UINavigationController, and is the result of pushing a new viewController onto the stack. If you want to simulate it, all you need to do is add the newly exposed view to your current base view, to the right of the current view (i.e. off-screen) and use UIView's animateWithDuration:animations:completion: method to move both the on-screen and off-screen views one screen to the left. (Use the completion: block to remove the original view or leave it in place so you can easily animate it back on-screen.)
I am familiar with the split view controller for the iPad but I was wondering if there was a way to have two levels of that. What I want is a tab bar where I pick a category. What is then shown on the left side of the split view is a sub-category and then when I select that I want to display the items in a table view that fit those two. Once a user selects an item then the right side of the split view will show the details about that item.
Can this be done? If so, an example would be greatly appreciated.
You can definitely drill down through table view controllers on the left side of a split view. The master view controller is usually wrapped by a navigation controller so you can simply push new table views until you get to the lowest-level category, then have it update the detail.
