In my code I programmatically change leftBarButtonItem with a UIButton to a UIActivityIndicatorView, I would like to know how to perform a flip transition when changing, any idea ?
Thanks a lot.

Hmm.. I have a feeling that to do a flip transition, you need to have a UIView.
So.. you could make a custom barButtonItem and add to it a flipView:
UIView *flipView = [[UIView alloc] init....];
BarButtonItem *barbutton = [[BarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:flipView];
then add your original view to the flipView, this can contain whatever you like...
[flipView addSubview:<original view>];
Then to flip this into a UIActivityIndicatorView, I think you need to do something like this:
[UIView beginAnimations:@"flip" context:NULL];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:1];
[UIView setAnimationTransition:UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromLeft forView:flipView cache:YES];
[<original view> removeFromSuperView];
[flipView addSubview:<activityIndicatorView>];
[UIView commitAnimations];
You'll probably have to keep a reference to your flipView somewhere so you can bring back a reference to it when you want to perform the flip.
Hope this helps!

Take a look at the Elements sample. They are doing a flip in a toolbar there.
