I have created a forum with a View, and in the View I have placed a Text Field. My problem is, whenever I slide up they keyboard the text from the tableView are placed over the UIView and the TextField being covered. Any Idea what the reason behind this might be? While we are at it, maybe I shouldnt create a View with a TextField and instead use the standard look in iPhone sms apps, but I dont know how they created that bar. Any Ideas? I post all pictures below:
iPhone standard look, how to create something like this?:
My View with the text field:
My problem as i described above:
You can create a custom view for that and add it as an inputAccessoryView of the keyboard.
For more details please check apple documentation on this. When the keyboard is dismissed, show this view at bottom of the screen and when keyboard appears remove it from bottom and make it as inputAccessoryView.

I am trying to create the same type of slide-up/pull-up menu (from the bottom) as the Any.do iPhone app, but not having any success.
The issue I am running into is the app was built with storyboards so I am thinking I might have to scratch that idea and use just code.
Any ideas?
There is no need to get rid of your storyboard to recreate this, that's what IBOutlets are for. Any way, it looks like this was made by creating a UIScrollView that takes up the entire screen. Then add a UITableView to the upper section of the scroll view. Mind you in order for this to work, you'll need to disable scrolling on the scroll view in the background.
From there you can programmatically add the other elements to the scroll view to be rendered off screen, since there are only three they can probably just be buttons. And finally, since scrolling is disabled on the background scroll view you can add an image with a UISwipeGestureRecognizer at the bottom of the screen to manually change the scroll view's content offset property.
In an iOS Tabbed Application I'm making, I've got tabs to load different viewControllers, which is pretty standard. What I'd like to do is make a few buttons (with images on them) load up another view with the button image maximized to the screen. However, I'm not really sure how to go about doing this. I don't want a new tab for this, I just want another view to show the full image, and then a button to return to the tabbed view. I've experimented a bit with making a subview to do this, and I've attempted to change the main viewport to the new view, with no success. If someone could point me in the right direction, and maybe give me a solid concept as a jumping-off point, I would really appreciate it.
And to clarify, I'm not looking for "the best way", per se. I'd be willing to accept a quick and dirty fix. But if you know of more than one way to handle this situation, I would appreciate whichever one you personally think is better.
I would do it by creating a UINavigationController to use as the primary tab view. When you want to show the full screen button, you create a new UIViewController subclass (below) and push it. That class will return YES for the method "hidesBottomBar" (its something like that).
This new view controller will be a traditional controller. You can create a UIImageView to fill the view (or you can probably replace the view with the imageView). In the viewDidLoad you'll set the UIImage of the view (or you can enter its name in the nib).
When someone clicks on the button, then you'll pop that view and return to your tabbed view (where the tab bar is showing).
I did something like this (not a big button), so I know the tab bar can be made to hide on the push. You can also hide the navigation bar so it never is even show (again, not 100% sure at the moment how to do it but its possible).
I have created some textfields at the bottom that required users to entry. Is there any method that can push up the view automatically when the keyboard occur?
See Apple's Moving Content That Is Located Under the Keyboard, or this implementation based in Calculating Area Covered by Keyboard.
Basically you have to mount your view on a UIScrollView and add a bottom content inset with the same height than the keyboard. Then scroll using setContentOffset:animated:. This is a generic solution that you can reuse.
A more simple but non generic way is, if you have enough space at the bottom of your view without editable controls, you just scroll to a fixed position for each edit box.
use the -contentoffset property of your view.
I have a UITabBarController displaying a number of settings-screens in my app. I want them to be shown on just a part of the screen for layout reasons. In fullscreen, the lists become unreadable (too wide), there are just a few controls per page making the page feel very empty, and the tabbar buttons are far away from the content (Fitts law).
Using presentModalViewController with the UIModalPresentationFormSheet style gives me the size I want. I do this on top of an empty background, since in my case it doesn't make sense to display anything behind it. The "real" working area is displayed with another presentModalViewController in fullscreen mode on top of it all.
This works but feels like a hack. One problem is, I can't make the background behind the settings dialog move in the transition to fullscreen with the UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal style.
TL;DR
Can I embed a UITabBarController non-fullscreen in another "background"-view? I can't find any information of how I would do this.

Why don't you try it out?
Create a container view of the size you want the tab bar controller to have.
Create the tab bar controller.
[containerView addSubview:tabBarController.view];
I'm working with Xcode doing a Ipad app.
i simply want user to click anywhere on screen (not counting text fields) to perform some IBAction.I'm using an invisible button that covers my whole view.
Since I have some text fields in my view,i need to add this invisible button to the background of my user interface. I cant seem to find this option in the button attributes? any help?
Just set the button's type to custom.
Did you try setting the opacity of the button to zero?
I guess i got your point. You just want to put the UIButton(invisible) on the back of all the UITextField. The simple solution to this is open the Document Window in the IB. Now expand the view tree in the list view. Just drag your UIButton above the UITextFields and set the alpha value for the button in the property to be zero.
Hope this helps!!
iPad users don't "click". They "tap" or "touch".
In Interface Builder, I believe views are constructed with a z-index from top to bottom as they appear in the document window, so dragging your button so that it appears as the first subview of your main view should be a quick fix for this.
Have you considered other approaches? This doesn't sound like standard behaviour for an app and will probably cause havoc with anybody using Voice Over. What are you trying to accomplish?
