Im fairly new to objective C. I am currently trying to implement a split view on the iPad. I would like to have a left side view that can be resized so that it looks more like the side view on the spotify app for the ipad.
I understand UI Split controllers won't work because their width's are fixed.
I understand the other option is to use a View controller with sub views that can resized as required. However, I am not too sure how I should implement each subview with its own navigation controller. Any suggestions how else I can implement the said feature.
The image of the side panel implementation can be found in this link.
You can use Matt Gemmell's MGSplitViewController to accomplish this. It provides a custom split view controller implementation that might let you do what you want.
I would like to recommend, PSStackedView which i have used to create a similar layout as the Spotify iPad app. Took some time to understand it

currently trying to make a ViewController, which include a Camera with a Overlay. I want to implement a scan function. the camera should show a field where it is scanned and save it then as a picture.
one of you has an idea? Thanks in advance!
I used this tutorial: http://www.ios-developer.net/iphone-ipad-programmer/development/camera/record-video-with-avcapturesession-2 to create a viewcontroller similar to that. The code a little old but if you make some changes you can easily create a ViewController like that.
Try this Github repo, It provides a default view controller with camera view and scan area overlay and it also provides a button to switch between the front and the back cameras.

I have a page view controller embedded inside a container view in order to swipe between images. But now I am trying to add a touch that will make the image go full screen "lightbox" with zoom available and also swipe through the images while in full screen mode.
I can get it to work, and messing around with auto layout seems to be much work consider I have a lot of other stuff in that VC.
So does anyone know a good image slider from github written in swift? - without the need of cocopods.
thanks!
It's easy enough to write one yourself. In full-screen mode, use another UIPageViewController, because it already has the swipe left & right support built in.
I am looking for a way to segue to another view controller while keeping the presenting one's view as blurry background. If it is not possible, then, instead of segueing, i will try to add a new subview, as long as it can achieve the blurry background effect.
There is already a package FXBlurView that seems able to achieve this. But I wonder if this can be done using latest Xcode? Thanks!
In my tab bar iPad application, one of my tabs needs to have an "ABPeoplePicker", ie a view exactly similar the view that ABPeoplePickerNavigationController presents. However, only the controller is exposed in the API and Apple warns against having several controllers to manage a single screen.
To expose the idea slightly differently, Apple explains how to use ABPeoplePickerNavigationController modally. That's about the only use case for the small iPhone screen, but the iPad larger screen allows for a modeless use case inside the screen.
Is this possible or do I have to redesign my picker from scratch?
I was trying to do just that and did not succeed.
A delegate can not be subviewed it seems.
I am trying to design a feature in my application for the iPhone that simulates the Springboard feature (Main menu of the iPhone that allows you to view more apps), or the way Weather application works that allows you to flip between views.
Does anyone have any samples of this how I would go about doing this. It's seems very trivial but I am wondering if I am missing something that is already available either as an Apple example or someone who did a tutorial on this.
The image below show how the user would use it.

As they slide their finger to the right (or left) the other image would begin to show up. And it would animate smoothly. The faster you swiped your finger the faster it would move to the next view.
Update: The other feature is that it should mimic the same feel when you slide your hand across the display that is snaps to the current view into place. It should not keep sliding across if there is more than 1 view to the direction you swiping your finger.
I've seen other applications use this so that is why I am asking.
This is accomplished using the UIScrollView with the pagingEnabled property set to true. Just add each of your views, adjust the contentSize, and it will automatically "page" to the width of the screen across the content.
There is a sample app (with code) with exactly this functionality on the iPhone developer site on Apple.com (I believe it's called "PageControl".) - I'd suggest checking it out.
d.
I'm writing an app that uses a similar UI. As NilObject recommended, we're using a UIScrollView with pagingEnabled=YES.
You may also be interested in this example code involving just two child views. I'm trying it out now; it's an interesting technique but I've had to write some additional special-casing code for some odd situations that resulted.
There's also another question on this site that asks about creating a grid of icons like the home screen.
I would check out Joe Hewitt's code from the Three20 project for this. It provides a nice interface and further refinement of the UIScrollView implemented as TTScrollView and TTScrollViewDelegate, TTScrollViewDataSource.
