I'm looking for the simplest code in order to implement a small popup (NOT a full screen modal popup or alert view). I just need it to display some basic text inside the popup, then exit it when I click away. The popup in the EleMints app is a good example.
UIPopoverController does this, but it's limited to iPad only. If you need this on iPhone, just implement a custom UIView subclass. Then when you want to show your popover, instantiate the subclass and add it to your view, maybe with some animation.
You can use WEPopOver as that is the one you required. For more info, visit this link
You can also use the following refrence link for UIPopOver controller

Thanks for reading my question!
I have a 5-part tabbar which I use for app navigation, the center tab is covered by a UIButton and is slightly larger (much like the instagram app). This works fine.
But what I want is the far right tab bar item to show a overlaying menu when clicked. I don't want it to switch to a viewcontroller with a menu. I want the menu to be displayed no matter which of the other views you're in at the moment. So I want it to act much like a button which is in the tabbar. But I have no idea how to go about doing this.
Should I use a overlaying button over the tabbaritem or should I catch the tabbarclick, but how can I prevent the view from changing in that case?
Thanks you for any help!
You need to implement UITabBarDelegate. Then override tabBar:didSelectItem: and implement your custom displaying here. See below for reference
http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/UIKit/Reference/UITabBarDelegate_Protocol/Reference/Reference.html
Then i would just make a custom UIView and fade it in when that specific tagged UITabBarItem is pressed.
I am trying to replicate the feature in voice memos app that uses a custom UiTabBar displaying a slider (showing how long and where the the audio currently is) and two buttons (delete and share). I am struggling to find answers as to generate a similar tabbar that can control the content shown in the background. I would appreciate any comments or suggestions on how to achieve this with monotouch. Thanks.
To put it simply, what you are seeing in the voice memos app is not a tab bar. It is a custom UIView that is at the bottom of the screen.
Create a custom view to put at the bottom, and give it delegate call backs to your controller that also controls your other content. When a button is pressed have you view call back to the delegate and then the delegate can act on it.You may also want to give your custom view an external property so that you can have your controller update the position of the slider.
Hoep this is of some help to you :)
I want to have this type of bar at the bottom of the application and whenever a button is clicked new buttons should popup, which one of them when clicked should take me to its connected view
You shouldn't use Popup as control, I'll recommend you to use it like a notification as this is not Apple way of showing controls.
Here is a nice link from boctor iDev recipes.
You can find here custom UITabBar as well Notification
I would suggest you not to try customizing UITabbar. This will go against the normal behavior of UITabbar and Apple may reject your app for tampering with normal behavior.
You can try having a UIView with a set of buttons in them and bring the similar functionality as in your image.
Could anyone provide some guidance on how to implement that speech-bubble like popup menu when you click "More" in the IPhone IPod application toolbar?
I think you are looking for UIPopoverController. Popover controllers are just containers for view controllers: write a view controller that does what you want, and you're set. But this is for iPad. If you want this for iPhone, then read on. I have put up some solutions.
You could even explore UIActionSheet but UIPopOverController gives more flexibility.
I believe you are talking about something like this ?
Here are some solutions you could adopt -
Forgot that you wanted this for iPhone, Have a look at the iPhone UIPopoverController implementation: WEPopover
On iPhone you would generally use a UIActionSheet for a stack of buttons like that. It slides up from the bottom, rather than popping up next to the button, but that's the standard behavior on iPhone.
Or you could manually instantiate a UIView using a custom background image or drawing with transparency, add some UIButtons (or other type of custom view) on top, and also somehow handle all touches outside that view.
Note that is is non-standard UI. An actionsheet would be more HIG compliant.
I'm new to iPhone development, its going OK so far, I've managed to get to grips with the Tab bar, navigation bar and tableviews.
However I want to be able to copy what the settings app does on the device when a user wants to change language.
In Settings, General, International when a user clicks on Language a new screen animates over the previous screen with a navigation bar that has a cancel and done button and a table view showing the languages available for selection.
I cant seem to find how to do this via Google so I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction of a tutorial or what I should be searching for? Is it type of view or a certain way to animate a view?
This is done via a method available on UIViewController (and thus all of its derivatives as well) called - presentModalViewController:animated:. You simply need to create a new view controller that you want to display and pass it into that.
See the link to the UIViewController docs above for more info and the complementary method - dismissModalViewControllerAnimated: to close the view. The docs have links to example code on how to use them as well.
in iPhone, it's done through modal view controller. Refer this tutorial.
