UITableView in UINavigationController Custom Animation - iphone

I am trying to find a way to make a UINavigationController push a table row into the next view during the animation. So that when the user clicks the table row item it follows the animation while all the other rows push off the screen. I have looked into UIViewControllerTransitioningDelegate but haven't found any luck. I have seen similar things done with apps that when you click on something, an image follows you through the transition and that is essentially what I am looking for. I don't want to burden anyone to code it for me, but if you have any pointers on what I should look into or what paths I should take that would be great.

I guess this is exactly what you are looking for. Although I am not sure that it will work in ios6.

Using UIPageViewController and making the view look like it's flapping

I'm wondering if there's a way to animate the very first view in UIPageViewController so that it looks like the one of the page corners is flapping a little bit? As if a little breeze bristles the pages when you first arrive on this particular screen.
This to add some sort of UI affordance to indicate that screen can be swiped. The content we're displaying with UIPageViewController doesn't take up the entire screen like a book does but would like to make it more obvious to the user that they can use gestures to navigate horizontally.
Any suggestions would be helpful.
Have a look there: https://github.com/brow/leaves
This guy made a new ViewControllers / View class allowing this kind of animation.
Hope that helps.
How about overlaying an animated GIF in the corner of the page bobbing about a bit, which you can then dismiss as soon as the user interacts with the page? (I know GIFs are a pain to work with on iOS, but it's certainly possible.)

UIView animation slide similar to this picture

I have been searching for a way to do the following:
http://a5.mzstatic.com/us/r1000/014/Purple/9c/af/dc/mzl.hdgiidhq.320x480-75.jpg
I want to have a view but be able to slide through them so they show up one by one..
each view pulls up new data from my plist.
I am not sure what this method is called to properly research it.
could someone please point me in the right direction?
Check out the sample code for Page Control. It shows the basics of a paging scroll view with different subviews on each page.
One of the important concepts is reusing the subviews, which you'll find out about in the sample code.
I think you need a scroll view with paging. User can view its subviews by swiping.
This is not an innovative functionality. It is the default functionality of scrollview.
Hope this helps ...

TabBar as rootController flip animation

I'm using a TabBarController as the root controller for my app. I have all the views I use (5 tabs) all hooked together through it in interface builder. What I'm trying to do is trigger a slide or flip animation when moving between tabs. However, I only want this to occur when I change tabs programmatically (ie the animation is triggered when someone does a swipe gesture in the one of the views, but not when they just select one of the tabs). The way I'm currently handling this is by calling:
[appDelegate.myTab setSelectedIndex:0];
when the iphone detects a swipe. I've been searching the internet for 5 straight hours and can't seem to find a way to add an animation here. It'd be really cool if there were something like:
[appDelegate.myTab setSelectedIndex:0 animated:(YES)];
However, there isn't... I can't imagine no one's ever tried this before, but for the life of me, I can't find anything online that explains how this can be done. Thank you in advance for your help.

Tabbar App with Paging between tabs

I've been struggling for about four days now trying to figure out how to implement the functionality I need. Basically I want to make a tabbar app that you can swipe back and forth between the tabs. Say I have 4 tabs. Would it make any sense just to create a scrollview that's 4 times as wide as the device, and load up 4 individual views side by side? Then I could use the tabbar delegate to simple tell which page to make visible? I could also use itemSelected to update the tab itself if a user swipes to a new page.
does this make sense / is it a good idea? I just need a quick yes or no answer before I spend another whole day pursuing something doomed to failure. Thank you very much for your help...
A page control may help you. Or you can combine navigation controller with tab view. ie use navigate your page on tapping tab buttons.
Whether it's a good idea or not aside, one way you could achieve this is to register a UIGestureRecognizer on the UIViewController in each tab, that when a swipe is detected, changes the tab depending on the direction of the swipe.
My initial idea seemed to work. I made a UIScrollView with a contentsize width of the four views I needed. I turned paging on, and used the UITabBar delegate to switch the itemSelected when a new page comes up. When someone presses a tab, I use the delegate
-(void)tabBar:(UITabBar *)myTab didSelectItem:(UITabBarItem *)item { }
to change the contentOffset of my scrollview. This may not be the best solutions in many cases, however, my app is simple enough that it works quite splendidly for me.
The original question is, how do you enable side-swipe functionality in a tab-bar app implmented using the Storyboard feature.
This question remains unanswered in my opinion.
The way I see it, either the Storyboard tool addresses the problem domain fully, or else who needs it? If you're forced to do something ridiculous (no offense) like making a 4-page wide view to work around the lack of scrolling, then that it is an argument against the Storyboard. If you're forced to add code to do something that is in the middle of the Storyboard target feature set, then it's going to be confusing to anyone who comes to the project later - some things are done via Storyboard, some are done in seemingly unrelated code.
Storyboard is a great visual development idea, but it needs to have its capability heaving ramped up and soon. There is only one answer really to this question; it should be, just add another behavior element. The fact that that is not working is a bug or a defect.

iPhone application - pop up dialogue - sort of

I have an iPhone application which is, in essence, a list. There is a UINavigationBar at the top, and then there is a UITableView which holds the list. I'd like to have an option in some way or another of allowing the user to sort the list in different ways. So, in my mind, I picture having a NavigationItem on the UINavigationBar that, when touched, a little pop up dialogue comes up. You select the "sort" you want, a check mark appears next to it, and the dialogue goes away.
I'm not really sure how to do this. I tried creating a UIView, adding a UIViewController onto it (which held this list of different "sort" parameters (ex. sort alphabetically, sort by date, etc) in a UITableView. But the UITableView isn't responding to any touches, and I'm not sure why.
Does anyone have an idea for using Apples wonderful interface for having an option like this? I can't use a UISegmentedControl below the UINavigationBar, because there are 5 possible options, and I can't fit all that in a single UISegmentedControl.
This sounds like a job for the UIPickerView. You could just slide one up from the bottom of the view whenever that button is pressed. I've done this in the past and it works well.
You won't get a checkmark, but if you want a pop-up I suggest using a UIAlertView.
Have you looked into UIActionSheet at all? https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiactionsheet
It seems like it might be a good fit for this approach. The action sheet will be a bit tall since you will have 5-6 buttons in it, but it should get the job done and they are really easy to implement.
The way you are approaching it with displaying another view with its own UITableView in it would work also, but it doesn't seem like the best approach to me. Granted, if you are set on going with that approach, provide us with some code so we can try to figure out why the UITableView isn't responding to touches.
