Sorry for the super basic question but I'm just looking for a little direction.
I would like my user to be able to swipe his or her finger horizontally in order to get the content to change.
Very much like the iPhone interface works where the user can do a small swipe and see the content match their finger's position.
Can anyone point me in a direction that would get here?
thanks!
Look at the examples for the Page Control.
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#samplecode/PageControl/Introduction/Intro.html
Or here is an example for scrolling without the page control:

i'm new to game developing so i might be a little confusing on defining what i need.
Assume i have a wide background picture, much bigger than the screen(e.g.4000*3000px), how should i approach if i want to navigate it with the input from the gyroscopes?
i mean handling the device up, down, left, right and so on.
If you remember the old Mosquitoes game on Symbian i would like to do something similar but without the camera.
However any suggestion is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Use UIScrollView - put your pic inside the scroll view and try to navigate with fingers.
When scroll will be working nice, use this or this or any other tutorial to find out how to use accelerometer.
Finally, when you will be able to collect data from accelerometer, give it to UIScrollView using [myScrollView scrollRectToVisible:myRect animated:YES];
All needed math and physics must be done by you.
I have an array and lets say I have 5 objects in it. The array just contains a string with an address to a picture. I would like to use the Page Control feature in the iPhone SDK to swipe Left and Right to change the picture. I already have the multitouch gestures in place all I need is to implement the Page Control so if I swipe left and then right it will take me back to the previous image.
Does anyone know of any good Page Control tutorials or sample code online that may be able to help me thought implementing the Page Control.
The UIPageControl isn't a control as much as it's just an indication of what "page" your on.
To do what you want, you need to set up a UIScrollView and add subviews for each image. It will require some math to figure out where each "page" starts and ends based on image dimensions and screen sizes.
Apple has some docs on using scroll views with page controls here.
Indeed, you need a UIScrollView along with the UIPageControl. You can find a good tutorial on how to make them work together here
I've been looking at integrating the OpenFlow API developed by Alex Fajkowski: http://fajkowski.com/blog/2009/08/02/openflow-a-coverflow-api-replacement-for-the-iphone/ into an app I am working on.
Does anyone know how I can stack the images vertically so that I can scroll the images from top to bottom/bottom to top like a rolodex?
The default behaviour is for OpenFlow to stack the images horizontally and scroll the images from right to left/left to right just like CoverFlow. I've been trying to get my head around how 3D animation is done in Objective-C without much success...
Thank you for your help in advance.
The really easy thing to do is to rotate the whole view with something like this:
openFlowView.transform = (CGAffineTransform){0,1,-1,0,0,0};
You'll then have to un-rotate all the flowing views (or rotate the images, or whatever).
The better way is to fix OpenFlow, but without looking at its source code, it's not obvious what to change (mostly you should just need to swap "x" and "y").
I hardly know how to explain my case other than to point to the excellent Absolute vodka app, Drink Spiration.
I am trying to make a carousel like image browsing with a little spice. I would really like to find a simple core animation explanation on how to accomplish something like the above app.
I hope someone can help with this. The solution doesn't have to be exactly the same, but just explain what is happening and it would be best if it was simple and no opengl. Just something to point me in the right direction. I don't think using just a scrollview with uiimageviews is enough.
I wrote something similar and its quite easy once you figure it out in your mind. All done justing using regular old views and animating transforms on them.
Say its 3 images on screen, and you can rotate new ones on and off ... then you will need 5 views set up (most simply just a UIImageView with a relevant image set). They are the currently selected image, the two either side of it and the ones that are, or will be animating on or off when the user flicks left or right.
Each of these 5 images has a position, an angle and an image. When the user flicks left or right each gets animated to the next position and angle, views that are about to come onscreen have their image updated to the next image in the set. If the user keeps on flicking in the same direction you simply reposition views on one side as they come off the other.
With this setup you can do lots of cool carousel like things very simply.
i am quit new at iphone development and trying to make a photo collage software while learning it. Right now i have a lil problem and hope you can help me out.
I have an UiviewController with a view in it, in this view i have 7 scrollviews with uiimagevies in them for zooming and scollign images within these scrollviews.
All that works well but now i want to make these 7 scrollviews dragable and maybe if possible zoomable (so that the image within the given scroolview zoom together with the scrollview).
It should be possible to drag them all around the screen and if possible even overlap them
and by the way rotating would be great ;-) hope that is not to much asked for.
Would be great if someone can help me out with this..
Well you've got to decide on some other choice here because the functionality you are asking for overlaps, and you can't ask the app to magically know which the user wants to do. What I mean by this is that when you touch and drag within a scroll view, it's going to try to scroll itself, rather than drag the entire scroll view around.
As for rotation and zooming - that gets more complicated, because you start dealing with vector math and the like. You can check out my question on rotation here. The link I gave you has the code to get both rotation and zooming to work.
