I am trying to create a user control that basically looks and feels like fb chat contacts list complete with friends lists and online/offline toggle buttons. How should I proceed??
I'd search codeproject.com for "Chat example" or "Chat application" and go from there.
You've got two elements.
1) the chat app (and underlying functionality)
2) the UI (ie making it "Look" like fb).
For underlying chat functionality, there's lots of example code out there.
Making it look like FB? That's just a question of skinning.

So I'm just getting used to and getting my arms around the new "panel-based" App scheme released with the 5/5/2012 version of Rally. At first it was a bit frustrating to lose the window real estate when I've been accustomed to full-page iFrames.
I am curious however - from a desire to optimize the way I use real estate onscreen for an App page - I would like to setup and utilize a multi-panel App whose components can communicate. For instance, I'd like to have one App panel display some control widgets and perhaps an AppSDK table, and a second App panel display a chart or grid that responds to events/controls in the first panel.
I've been scanning the AppSDK docs for hints as to how this might be accomplished, but I'm coming up short. Is there a way to wire up event listeners in one App panel that respond to widget controls in another?
We have not decided the best way to have the Apps communicate yet. That is something we are still spiking out internally to find the best way to do it.
Each custom App is in an IFrame so figuring out how to make them communicate can be a bit tricky. Once we figure out a good way to do it we will be sure to let you know.
Has this topic, "app Communication", been addressed yet? I would to have one Custom Grid show User Stories. When a user story is selected another grid show the related tasks.
I want to integrate facebook fan page in my game with out leaving the game.

The Facebook API on iOS is meant to redirect the user on the Facebook app (or website when the app is missing) in order to grant access for the like itself. This needs to be done at least once.
In order to gather information about who is liking what you can set up whatever log or backend functionality to the Facebook app that you have to create to activate the like functionality on your iOS app.
Is there a control in Sencha Touch to show a passcode field like shown in picture below?
No theres no native component who does exactly this. But you can build it by yourself: its a form with 4 input fields and a dozen buttons. See documentation for more details: http://docs.sencha.com/touch/1-1/#!/api/Ext.form.FormPanel
No, you have to build and design this one completly by yourself.
Note: To get rid of the browser controls, you have to enforce that the application is running form the homescreen. You can control (with some Javascript) if the application is running MobileSafari or as a "Web App". (see: http://cubiq.org/add-to-home-screen as an example of such an implementation)
But, however, I would not recommend using such a component. A) This can confuse people and B) Can intent users to type in their regular passcode. As a developer I wouldn't be comfortable with that situation.
I am writing a Boxee App and I want to list all albums for a picasa account.
The problem I'm facing is that I have no idea of how to list albums and photos in the Boxee app.
The application itself should be fairly simple:
First a main screen where all your albums are listed, then when you click an album you see all your photos in a grid of say 4x5 photos
When you click a photo you go in to a view where one photo is displayed on the whole screen where back and forward lets users go back and forth in that gallery.
I have wrote a simple wrapper arround the gdata photos Python API which I was aiming to use so hopefully all the heavy lifting will be done by the gdata API.
Does anybody have some good links to example applications or tutorials to one or more of the features I want in the application?
Boxee uses an XML based approach for describing an application's interface. You'll need one XML for each screen of your application and you'll connect them together using the API.
You would build this XML screens using various controls defined by the XML API. Basically a control (a button, a list, a label, etc) is described as an XML node with attributes and child nodes. You can check a list of all the available controls here: http://developer.boxee.tv/UI_Controls
You can use the Python API to control various properties of the UI elements you coded in your XML files. For example you could fill a list with photos taken from a server, you could change the label on a button, load another screen and much more. Here are the Python API specs: http://developer.boxee.tv/Python_API
Make sure you read trough the Boxee dev pages and also remember that Boxee originated from the XBMC project so most of the documentation regarding XBMC skinning (http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Skinning_XBMC) also applies to Boxee.
Another thing that might help you is looking at other apps. Find an app that is somehow similar to what you want to do, find it in Boxee's app folder and peek at the code there.
I'm searching for some code samples for my Flash application. The app is based on screen-flows , i.e each screen is defined with some visual elements with some buttons which have async events associated with them(consuming web services basically). The buttons also have functionality to go back and forth between screens and jump to any screen. I want to define all of the visual elements and the functionality of the events in a XML file. Thus the model, view and controller are all in the XML. Does any framework allow this like Pure MVC? Where can I find some examples of this kind of functionality that I want?
There's a Flash implementation of Heirarchical State Machines here, which mentions XML and Flow Control:

(Note: There's a very slick screencasting application called Screenflow which may lay claim on that particular term these days...)
