Automatic page-flip feature (Page view controller) - iphone

I'm currently doing an app which DISPLAYS tweets one by one (consecutively) using a page view controller. I followed the tutorial here.
This is a tutorial on how to implement Page view controller without storyboarding.
I want to flip the pages automatically without tapping the iPhone screen and i haven't found any tutorial implementing this type of feature. Is this any way possible?
Please tell me if question is poorly constructed so that i could edit it. Im quite new here.

Objective C Master Detail project with tab bar on detail

My project is setup so that a user will search for a particular item. This item has three different groups of detail information. What I wanted to do, is create a Master/Detail scenario and then on the Detail screen have a tab bar with three different views to match the three different groups of detail info. However, I'm having a lot of trouble getting it to work. I searched and found this stackoverflow question:
IOS - How can I add a tab bar to navigation controller (Master Detail template)?
Which seems to suggest that if I follow my plan, Apple will likely not accept my app because the tab bar should be persistent across the app. This seems ridiculous to me. There are plenty of scenarios where the tab bar shouldn't be on every view. For instance, the first view in my app is a login screen. I certainly don't want the tab bar there. Is this something anyone else has encountered? And if so, do you know of any tutorials that could help me get this working?
I work in xcode 4.4 and use the storyboard rather than the nib files. Right now I'm able to get my master view to navigate to the detail view and I can see the tab bar on the detail view. However, my views in the detail have table views with static cells and I can't see any of the information that is supposed to be in them.
There are rules and there are guidelines. Apple does not have a rule that if you have a tab bar, it must be present everywhere in your app. They have guidelines which state that tab bars should be consistent across views. Apple has rules like, don't use unpublished API calls. Those rules will get your app rejected, and they are in the app store submission guidelines. The user interface guidelines are really guidelines for how you should create your app, unless you have an overriding good reason to do otherwise.

How do you make a multi-page app in Xcode for IPhone?

I am new to Xcode and am having trouble with my single view/view-based application for iPhone.
I have 2 buttons on the view and I need simple beginner instructions on how to make 1 button go to a different page and have a back button and have the other button on that view do the same as the first button.
Can anyone help? Thanks!
You are likely looking for a UINavigationController. There are many good tutorials for getting started with that.
This has links to some sample code: https://developer.apple.com/library/IOs/#documentation/UIKit/Reference/UINavigationController_Class/Reference/Reference.html
You need navigation based app. Take a look at here: https://developer.apple.com/library/IOs/#documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/TableView_iPhone/TableViewAndDataModel/TableViewAndDataModel.html to understand what a navigation based app and how that works with uitableview.

Is there any tut/e.g available to implement a u.i navigation tool similar to flipboard browser?

Does anyone knows a tutorial that could help me to build something similar to the browser of flipboard?
Basically i would like to filter some contents from a DB in my app and I am specially interested to understand how their browser was implemented as I would like:
To be able to have the browser to overlay the main view on the right
side.
Shadow the detail view when the browser is seen
To have a toolbar in the main view to filter some of my data too.
I am not sure if i should go for the master / detail template or start with a simple view template.
The feature I was looking at is easier to implement through a UIPopoverController. The popover allows to display a layer that overlay the main window and that can be dismissed when clicking outside of popover view.
Using the master/detail template was not adapted here. I started with a single view template instead.
I am still looking into some way for the customization of the UIPopoverController though.

Make a home view for application

Hi guys i am very eager to know that how we can make a view like in this application having different icons calling different viewcontrollers and edit button to add shorcuts to tab bar at the bottom. Any tutorial link will be appreciated .
Thats a really long view, why would you want that? Unless you are putting that into a UIScrollView..
Check Three20 Launcher, it may suit your needs, and it is widely used in many apps.
Here is a tutorial for using the UITabBarController: http://21gingerman.wordpress.com/2009/04/06/tutorial-and-sample-code-for-iphone-app-with-tab-bar-and-nav-bar/
Which seems like what you're asking for.
It will allow you to have a "More" button which gives you the view you're looking for.
Otherwise, seems like if you need more control, what you're looking for could be accomplished fairly simply with a UIScrollView and some UIImageViews. There are two great videos on using UIScrollView in the developer videos section of the apple dev site. (They open up in iTunes) http://developer.apple.com/videos/

how to create multiple pages in Xcode iphone apps

i am starting my experience with iphone sdk. and i have a question, which is i am trying to create two pages to the app but i don't know how to link them or design them. like when i start the Xcode i find one page named View to design in it, i want to make that page a welcoming page then the user choose one of the three choices he see in that page. Once he clicked on one of them the program take him to the next page or the page he chose.
thank you
The standard approach on iPhone is a drill-down. Place a UINavigationController in your NIB, make the root-level view your welcome page. Then navigate to dependent views by invoking pushViewController on that navigation controller.
This is a very high-level description; you'd have to fill a lot of blanks. If you create a new project and specify a "navigation-based application", you'll get quite a bit of boilerplate code for this approach.
You really need a good book, I recommend Beginning iPhone 3 Development by Apress.
Take a look at using UIViewController's
- (void)presentModalViewController:(UIViewController *)modalViewController animated:(BOOL)animated
method. You can display your initial view, and when the user presses one of the buttons, display the intended view over top. If you build a new project, and choose "Utility Application" you will get some sample code for how this works.
