Im new to monotouch but want to build an app that is something similar to this.
The 1st image is the home screen you see when you open the app if your logged in.
Pressing each of the buttons or images navigates you to a view like the 2nd image.
How would I build something similar, Im using the latest beta 5.1.1 that I believe contains the monotouch.dialog baked into it.
Would I be able to do something like this with monotouch.dialog?
The first screen looks more like what three20 can do (i.e. I'm not sure how I could do that with MonoTouch.Dialog without a bit of work - but I never tried something like that). There are MonoTouch bindings for Three20 available on github.
The second and third screen are more in line with what MonoTouch.Dialog can do, right out of the box (or it's Sample test app). They are not all standard Element but the library is easy to customize, by inheritance, to get almost anything you want (e.g. down to owner-drawn elements).
There's a lot of questions (with answers) that covers MonoTouch.Dialog. If you hit any problem, to achieve something specific, then you're welcome to ask them here on stackoverflow!

I'm trying to load in content from a database and allow the user to flip through it like pages, then at the end of the content, give them options to go to another section of content (probably with buttons). The content is currently just formatted with html, but how do I implement the buttons to navigate? I'm a little new to Xcode so maybe I'm not even looking in the right direction.
refer a this opensource: https://github.com/devindoty/iBooks-Flip-Animation
this is very little code and perfectly works.
I am new to iPhone programming and am having a really hard time trying to figure out how to add a table view to a tab bar application. There are not many tutorials on this for iOS SDK 4 and the Apple documentation is very light on details. Since I am new I would really like some tutorial that has screenshots (or at least clear instructions) when it comes to things being done in Interface Builder (like making connections between the objects and File Owner, etc), usually lot of tutorials/blogs gloss out these details.
What I am trying to do is create a tab bar based application with 3 tabs (this I am able to do). The first tab needs to display a table view with the header having 2 buttons (one on right and other on left, with the title in middle).The title is actually today's date, obtained from the phone. Clicking either of the header buttons should take you to another table and the title should be yesterday's date (if left button is clicked) and tomorrow's date if right button is clicked.
Can some one please suggest me a good tutorial for this. I am thoroughly confused by the Interface Builder (especially how to create connections).
The only page I remember frequenting on the past, is CocoaDevCentral.
Personally, I learnt how to use Xcode through video tutorials, so I recommend you to start searching there. Also, to help you with your search, always look for the full name of the objects involved, for example: instead of searching for "tableView", look for "UITableView", apple's notation is very particular and helps narrowing down the result.
Finally, ignore the nay-sayers about Interface Builder, you should give it a try, and see if it fits your style. For instance, I like being able to get a look at the overall design, as I usually help with the design.
I'm trying to make a iPad like toobar at the bottom of my webpage, using the free jqTouch framework. Here's an example I was trying to copy off (first random iphone image i googled for).
Now, a previous StackOverflow question sorta answers it .. but i'm not sure how to extended that answer to include
4 or so sections (eg. friends, person logged in (if they are), etc.)..
Keep that toolbar at the bottom, no matter what. The middle content is scrollable. but the header and this footer should always be visible.
Can this be done?
Actually your link won't help you at all because position:fixed isn't supported in Mobile Safari and brokenly supported in Android. You are going to need a plugin like iscroll, and some fixed positioning, it a bunch of work to get it all working together. However fear not, if you are not interested in going through the pain of developing this yourself, people have done the work for you. See the DataZombies fork of jqTouch, and you can see that in the demo he has a working bottom toolbar (with Badges even!)
To include a tab bar in jQTouch, you'll want to download a later version of jQT than r109, the default package from their homepage. Go to its GitHub to grab a later version of source.
Then, take a look at this post:
Fixed header in Jqtouch, and this demo: http://demo.lvengine.net/mobileuplink.
i'm working on my version, to add a fixed tabbar on jQtouch
http://www.itabbar.com
it's working with jQtouch, iScroll and the iTabbar
this work with the latest jQtouch version
Here a online demo (only Safari and Chrome for desktop browser)
I'm an iPhone developer, but new to web development. I've done some basic HTML websites and made one in iWeb as well. I'm trying to branch out to mobile web development now, so I checked out Dashcode.
Anyway, I'm trying to put a Call Button, Mail Button, and Map Button in horizontal alignment. I realize that I can add a Column Layout and have two buttons in a row, but that's the most I've gotten.
Any ideas? Thanks!
Thomas
Edit: I still haven't figured this out yet. I was given advice about a fixed position button bar, but I am not sure how to implement it. I've been looking at code, but haven't gotten it yet. Still trying though. Any help is appreciated!
What i do usually is to select the element you can't align horizontally and then go to the inspector -> dimension tab and in disposition you select fixed absolute.
This should work but beware because if you've the intention to change element's place dynamically you may have some surprise...
I think you are looking for something like this.
A fixed position button bar is created with several buttons side by side.

I would like to arrange UIControls in WPF in a similar way to the applications on the iPhone. They should be positioned on a grid, but a user should be able to drag them somewhere else, after releasing the mouse button (or the finger in case of an iPhone) the selected UIControl should snap back to the next position in the grid. The other UIElements should be rearranged automatically.
Further the user should also be connect two elements with a line or something.
I'm not experienced with WPF. The first question is if there is a container which is suitable for something (System.Windows.Controls.Grid ?) or if I have to extend canvas or somethig else for this.
I would like to know which elements from the WPF framework can be used and which elements I have to write myself.

I've looked at AnimatedTilePanel in the BangOTricks examples (see below), this one explains how to create your own Panel and how to let it arrange things there.. However I still need an idea how to implement drag and drop correctly in this example..
Unfortunately, you'll have to write a lot of things yourself, as WPF doesn't automatically do what you're looking for.
For positioning the controls, you can use either UniformGrid or Grid. Assuming it's much like the iPhone video you showed, you can just use the UniformGrid with 4 columns and however many rows you need.
For the dragging animation, layout-wise, you could start by manipulating the RenderTransform property on whatever is being dragged, but you'll have to set a handler to check once you've met whatever threshold necessary to move into the another "cell" -- and at that point, you'll have to changed the order of the items in the tree.
Take a look at AnimatedTilePanel from Kevin's Bag-o-Tricks at:
http://j832.com/bagotricks/
It doesn't do everything you want but it will show you how to write a panel that animates its children when changing size or order.
New input to this old post in 09. Earlier this year (2012) someone has wrote a FluidWrapPanel and open sourced it. I tried it and it works like a charm - just like that on the iPhone menu.
You can also apply to other UI Elements or UserControl.
