i need to implement a multiview app really complex to me and i need some advice. The multiview app is something like:
First view: Normal UIViewController with one button, when i push it go to second view
Second view(aka mainview): a Windows with Tab Bar with 2 tabbar item who switch between:
Second view A: Normal UIViewController with some elements
Second view B: UITableViewController
Can someone give me an advice where to start reading or some examples?
thx
You need to start with view based application. And then create a UITabbarController in you appDelegate file.
Appdelegate.h
UITabBarController *tabBarController;
// set properties
Appdelegate.m
// Synthsize
tabBarController = [[UITabBarController alloc] init];
tabBarController.delegate=self;
//Adding Search,Nearby,Map,AboutUs,Favorites Tabs to tabBarController
Search * search = [[Search alloc] init];
UINavigationController *searchNav = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:search];
Nearby* nearby = [[Nearby alloc] init];
UINavigationController *nearbyNav = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:nearby];
Map* map = [[Map alloc] init];
UINavigationController *mapNav = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:map];
AboutUs* aboutUs = [[AboutUs alloc] init];
UINavigationController *aboutUsNav = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:aboutUs];
Favorites* favorites = [[Favorites alloc] init];
UINavigationController *favoritesNav = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:favorites];
NSArray* controllers = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:searchNav,nearbyNav,mapNav,aboutUsNav,favoritesNav, nil];
tabBarController.viewControllers = controllers;
[window addSubview:tabBarController.view];
You can accordingly manage in which tab you want to place navigation controller or only a view controller.
Then in each of the view controllers mentioned above you need to implement
- (id)init {}
in which you can set Tab name and image.
my advice is to read sample code form apple there you can also find coding how to s so good luck, or you can find example codes all over the stack just search. for example navigation based app:
UINavigationController doesn't work in a the moreNavigationController of a UITabBarController
or simple transition:
SecondViewController *screen = [[SecondViewController alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
screen.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleCrossDissolve;
[self presentModalViewController:screen animated:YES];
[screen release];
hope it helps bye
