I'm working on a prototype app that has a challenging behavior. I thought I'd ask for advice before really tearing into it...
Part of the app has an area of text that needs to be formatted in a manner where there will be a description of an item in bold, followed by one or more detail items:
Item Description: Item Detail 1. Item Detail 2. Item Detail N.
In most cases these items will require multiple lines, so word wrapping will be necessary.
The the user will be able to tap on any bolded item description to expose a popover with options they can select that will populate the plain item details.
I was about to attempt doing this with a webview, to be able to format the text, provide natural word wrapping and use hyperlinks to call methods, etc... As I look into this more, I can see it will be a pretty weighty task and want to make sure there aren't alternatives to this before I head down what looks like a fairly long, dark tunnel.
I'm still fairly new to iOS dev, so bear with me if I come back with "noob" questions.
Thanks in advance!
The alternative is Core Text but it is a fairly long, dark tunnel, too.

I have searched google/stackoverflow etc. for answer to my question, but I didn't quite manage to find the right one. I believe I just don't know, how to set the question properly, and thus I cannot find solution.
Is there any way, how to create grid like I drawed in following image (with red colour):
I need to add this red grid to several images, which look very simmilar. The grid field (the one selected) have rolling menu, prescribed position, and a field for additional text. Black lines in background are image in background, and the red supposed to be grid above the image. I thought of creating a lot of buttons alined to each other, but i think that is very bad way to do so.
I would like a pop-up menu from selected field, but opening new activity with same fields is usable aswell. Is there any "simple" solution for creating such grid/menu ?
Btw, I am not programmer with many experience with coding, let's say, I know basics only.
Thanks in advance.
I am using template 10 for developing a UWP app and i'm using hamburger template so when a user clicks on a particular category i would like to navigate him to a event list in a master detail view where on left is complete event list in that category and on right selected event details.There is a sample provided and its difficult to understand and don't know how to use the sample in my app along with hamburger navigation.Also as an extra feature if the user clicks on a particular category the hamburger panel should hide and masterdetail view of event should come.And when user click on back button the panel should appear again with that page.
If anyone could help me it would be of great help.Thanks in advance.
There is a really detailed sample in the repository. It has 2 examples in total. 1 a control being developed by a community member. The other is a design based around using basic XAML with visual states along with responsive triggers for screen sizing.
I've implemented the response non-usercontrol variant and it works very well. The other control based scenario has some good features and is being updated often for feature additions and corrections.
Master Detail Sample
I think what you might be looking for here is a slightly simpler thing that we are able to give you. Master/Detail is certainly not splitting the atom. That being said, it's not just a drag and drop thing either. Your are going to need to take a look at the sample. Try to reproduce it exactly into a blank project. It's a great resource, but it's not a control for you to use as much as a sample for you to refer to. I certainly wish I had a simpler answer for you, but this is going to take a little effort on your side to understand the mechanics and implement it. In the end, once you pass that "ah ha" moment, I think you will look back and realize it's simpler than you thought. But until you understand how it works at a fundamental level, it's just going to continue to confuse you. I agree with #mvermef that the visual-state approach (the primary approach) is the easiest and uses the skills you will want to learn for future development, too. But, to that end, please recognize there are TWO approaches in that sample. One uses view-states and the other uses a custom user control. If I were you, don't pick the second approach. The first approach will be easy to understand, easy to implement, and wonderfully helpful to understand for other things later down the road.
im not sure if its the right place to put my question, but i think maybe get an answer here.
the last few days thinking about a way to make μυ work easier.
What I want is to write by hand and convert into text on the computer.
namely when I am on a page with multiple text forms like this im writing now,
when i choose a text form with a pen (like wacom graphic tablet) write on a surface and the automaticaly when i stop or pressing a button the text turn into text in the form.
my title say about wacom because i found bamboo scribe.. if someone uses this please explain me whats can do and if can work for me.
i test myscript. with fullscreen tool wich you can write everywhere on the screen is easiest but when you finish you have to press a button on the program to insert the text in the selected area.
so my question is there any way to press that button with the button placed on stylus pen?
i saw that you can set functions when a button clicked on the wacom tablet or on pen.
i have not bought yet anything because im searching if is out there anything could do what i want better. something made for that particular job
Thanks and sorry for my bad english..
Okay, I've seen the webpage that shows you how to enter a decimal key on the number pad, but that's pretty complicated for one button, and the problem I have involves multiple buttons. See, I have a program that involves typing in functions like "x + 5". My problem right now is that the user has to go through three different keyboards just to enter that kind of function. I need to know if it's possible to set up a keyboard that will have specific keys in it. Is there a way to do this that's simpler than the decimal key method?
You'll have to create a custom keyboard if none of the apple keyboards toots your flute.
The easiest way to do this is to create a view and add lots of buttons with their own titles and background images and, most importantly, actions. You'll also need a delegate.
To be more official, there are numerous online tutorials (and lots of SO questions).
Objecive-C/Cocoa newbie...I have an NSMatrix composed of NSTextViewCells. I would like the user to be able to type at most one letter into each cell, have the letter upcased if necessary, and automatically tab to the next field.
It looks to me as if I can use an NSFormatter to do the upcasing, but I can't figure out how to get the auto-tabbing.
Is it just me, or is the available documentation in general less than wonderful? I've been reading Hillegass' book, which is great, but it only goes as far as it goes :)
Thanks.
