how can i add a dropdown box (html select tag) in my iPhone application?
I think you cannot have a drop down list in the iphone.Instead of that it has the UIActionSheet.If you have more options like greater than 8 the UIActionSheet will have its own scroll and alert looks like table and the view will get an awesome look.Thats the only option we have.If you anything or if i am wrong just let me know
Thanks
You can create a custom combo box control. I have done this in one of my projects. You can do something like this. Create a ViewControlle with tableView in it. Make it's frame smaller. Add it's view on the view where you want to display combo. On tap of a button that looks like down arrow display tableView with some animation starting frame should just below the combo button.Hope it helps. First try this then if still you are unable to do let me know.

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.

The custom accessory view to display when the text view becomes the

In Nokia S40 the search field for the contacts is looked like this
This TextField is really interactive, if I put some text the magnifier will change into x Button. I've tried to create the TextField in LWUIT and override the paint methods to put the magnifier image but it can't use as a button.
Are there any component I can use to recreate something like this (Especially with LWUIT)? Or maybe are there any ready-to-be-used component from Nokia to create something like this?
Best Regards
You can do something similar to that, but it won't look like the native SearchField, but it will work fine.
What you can do is this.
Create a container with a boxLayoutX and put inside it a TextField and a Button. When you capture that the TextField has text inside, change the Image attached to the Button to a X and here it is. You only need to implement the functionallity of the Button.
TextField has a setHintIcon method allowing you to do just that.
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?
I am creating an application on iPhone for displaying world maps.I have created Tab bar controller as the rootViewController. On one of the tabs, I need to provide an option for saving current status of map as an image.
For this purpose,
1) I need to provide a 'SAVE' and 'CLEAR' button in the Navigation bar.
and
2) 'Title' and 'Note' fields are to be provided as table view to make it look nice.
User will tap into the table cell and write the corresponding data into the fields.
Please suggest me some direction or give some sample code if available..
(I will explain the above problem in detail if someone is not able to understand it properly)
Please reply..
Thank you..
First- You can get an idea with this link:
Creating a left-arrow button (like UINavigationBar's "back" style) on a UIToolbar
Second- You have to find in WWDC 2010's:
https://developer.apple.com/videos/wwdc/2010/
You have to see title name is 'Mastering Table View'.But you will need apple id to log in.
when I unlock my iPad I get a small modal view where I can enter a PIN. I'd like to use the same thing within my app to protect a sensitive setting with a PIN.
Which UI element is used here? How can I fire it up?
Thanks.

Umm i dont think that view it available to use use by default, but you can build your own you can use the following code to get the numeric pad
UITextField tf;
tf.KeyboardType = UIKeyboardType.NumberPad;
or you can create a custom keyboard with interface builder you just need 12 buttons ans 4 text boxes then do it programmatically pretty straightforward hope this helps
