Here's another very basic question. Is there an easy way to rename the rootviewcontroler? Say I decided that I needed to add a page before the current rootview (splash page, mini data snipits from the main app, ect.) How hard would it be to create another rootviewcontroller? I guess you would just take the current one and edit out lots o...

Hi, I'm in a struggle. I have this app with two views. View1 empty. View2 with a textfield and an OK button. I want to accomplish the following: On View2 the user inserts the name for a button; its title. (the way user reaches view2 is not relevant. It could be with a button or a tabbar button on View1.) After pressing OK button, View...
I'm learning how Objective-C on the iPhone layers views onto the main window. I've tried remaking a basic program to draw two different colored rectangular views onto the main UIView for an app, but it does not seem to work. My current output is a white screen. However, when I close the application, it briefly shows the two rectangles...
Hi, I was wondering what is the best practice for an application flow in iPhone development. How do you pass messages between ViewControllers? Do you use singletons? pass it between views or do you have a main controller for the application that manage the flow? Thanks. ...

Hi I'll be using a datePicker several places in my app. I don't want to "clutter" up each and every viewController with the delegation methods for the UIPickerViewDelegate and UIPickerDatasource, plus I would be doing the same delegation methods over and over again. Every time the datePicker is in play it's sole purpose is to slide half...
I've managed to get my myself confused... I've got a fairly complex View Controller much of which is developed programatically. I'd like to pop up a "dialog" on top of the view controller at some point and I'd like to "design" that view in Interface Builder because it's fairly straightforward (background UIImageView, some UILabels and a ...
Hi, I need to move UI elements of my view controller when keyboard appears. I do this by registering for the keyboard notifications in my app delegate: [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:observer selector:@selector(keyboardWasShown:) name:UIKeyboardDidShowNotification object:nil]; [[NS...
I'm sure I'm overlooking the obvious as I've got countless working buttons...but...for whatever reason this one is not cooperating... I've added a UIButton (Rounded Rect) to a UIView subclass (DialogView) which is a subview of my view controller's view. This subview is created almost entirely in IB. I've wired up the button to (IBAction...

Hi all, I've come to the point of pulling my hair out over this one. I keep getting a EXC_BAD_ACCESS when I call the reloadData for the UITableView. I'll lay the groundwork for you here. MainViewController.h #import <UIKit/UIKit.h> #import <Foundation/Foundation.h> @class iPROSAppDelegate; @interface MainViewController : UIViewCon...
I have a query about the use of viewDidUnload and dealloc in a simple implementation of UITableViewController. Essentially I'd like to know more about weather or not both viewDidUnload and dealloc are always called in succession in the tear down process. Is it possible that dealloc could be called on the controller without viewDidUnloa...
I have two view controllers: MyParentViewController and MyChildViewController. The application starts with MyParent. I push the MyChild controller to the top of the navigation stack, so that the chain is like so: MyParent > MyChild I log the object ID of MyChild with NSLog(@"%p", self): 2009-11-20 05:08:29.305 MyApp[2213:207] MyChil...
I'm experimenting with ViewControllers & NavigationControllers in Interface Builder trying to get a better grasp of what's tied to what and why... I'm struggling with a scenario that has confused me. Hopefully someone can set me straight... Say I start with your typical iPhone template View-Based Application and I display a view which i...
I have a UIViewController with a UISegmentedControl that swaps out one of 3 UITableViewControllers depending up the pressed segment selected. Everything works great, except the UITableViewControllers do not fill the entire available screen, but leave a gap at the top . ...
Hi, have hunted around for an answer to this one, but can't seem to find a definitive solution - hoping someone can help here! I'm building a multiview app for the iPhone. I've created a UIViewController called "MainViewController", which loads in other views as required. There's quite a lot of navigation between screens, so what I'd ...
I am writing my very first genuine program for the IPhone. In the course of developing it, I decided to rename a subsidiary view controller (not RootViewController), so I renamed the .h and .m and .xib files. I had to modify a small amount of code, such as import statements, but the coding effort quickly recovered and all compiled and ...
