Is there any UIViewController as same as MobileApp's "Info" view controller?

Question

Hi All,

Is there any predefined UIViewController/NavigationController in the IPhone API as same as "Info" in "Phone/Mobile" application?

For example, suppose I received a call or dialed a number, which is not stored in address book. Then later I wanna see the details of that number, IPhone navigates me to the "Info" view when I click the "Detail disclosure button" in the calls table view. Exactly I want the same "Info" ViewController. Before going to design my customized UIViewController I just wanna know, is there any predefined ViewController in the API?

P:S: I searched the address book API, but unfortunately I didn't notice any such contoller.

Answer 1

no, you don't have something this specific in the API.

if you want that kind of viewcontroller, you'll have to roll your own.

Answer 2

It's just a UITableViewController with a complex header view and a different text color for the cell's textLabel.

Answer 3

After going through the API, I found that "ABUnknownPersonViewController" is suitable to serve the purpose. And also "ABPersonViewController" can be used to display the if you get a contact details (if that contact exists in the Address Book).

Thanks refulgentis and Brad Larson for your comments.

refulgentis, as I said above, "Info" is an "UIViewController" not "UITableViewController".

Answer 4

Not really. Use a UITableViewController in the "grouped" style (UITableViewStyleGrouped) and initialize your cells with the UITableViewCellStyleValue2 style, adding a custom tableHeaderView if necessary to contain any title / non-listworthy information.
