Im developing a tabbar application.
There are almost 7 tabs in this app.
Usuall when we add more than 5 tabs a "more button"will come and rest of options will come under that "More option".
But i found a very interesting app in app store and they are moving the tabbar to left and right(just like we do in scroll view) like in the image below.
How can i implement this.
Can anyone help me with this please.
Thanks in advance.
As far as I can see, it's 2 custom UIButtons placed over the tabBar that may programmatically rearrange the tab options on their IBActions. What makes me say that is that the highlighted area of the last tab is just normal, and the arrows does not seem as well placed as what Apple could have done by standard.
You can use custom tabBar, like InfiniTabBar, nice and functional.

I am new to Wix and to be honest kind of confused if there is a way to add a horizontal bar in my website.
So I have a multistate box with different states so when you press a button it takes you to that state.
What I want to do, is to somehow fit these buttons in the mobile version. I have seen that there are some components called tabs which could do the trick because they come with a default horizontal scroll bar or arrows when the content does not fit. Is there any alternative or an actual component I can add to my buttons and fix that issue?
Thank you in advance!
So I'm working on an app but I'm pretty new to Xcode and swift itself, so thats what i have right now [textview color is just to show you its size]

But this is what I want:

i thought using top and bottom layout guides would help, but I'm totally lost. If anyone could help that'd be amazing! :)
I'm sorry, but i am new to this :/
One simple way to do this is to drag the text view between nav bar and tool bar, and then pin its top and bottom edges to nearest neighbors (in this case, nav bar and tool bar), like this:

NOTE: make sure its edges are in between bars, not overlapping them. Also uncheck the Constrain to margins -box.
I got it to look like this very quickly:

There are many other ways to do this, and this is just one of them. Search for storyboards tutorials and you'll find many good tutorials how to use Interface Builder. :)
I'm a fairly new programmer and I had been taught how to switch between two views using a toolbar button as the root controller. I am now making an app for fun that switches between 5 views (but for the look of it I dont want to use a tab bar). Instead of using the tab bar i would like to have 5 buttons on each view that switch between the other views and itself. I am at a loss of how to even begin. I would greatly appreciate if anyone could offer any kind of help or even a link for a good beginner tutorial on the matter... Thank you.
Start an Utility Template project in XCode.
RUN IT...USE IT..Then go through the code to learn how it functions
This way you will become better : Not by a particular answer here .
I have a UITabBarController as my rootController with 8 UITabBarItems. and I want to show just 4 UITabBarItems in my screen. By default all my other tab bar items appear in a small tabBarItem called "More" and you can select the other 4. But I have seen some apps that implement a sliding UITabBarItems with a slide icon instead of a "More" icon.
How can I show just 4 at a moment, and I slide the TabBarItems, and so that I can select the other tab bar items ?
~ Something like this ~
And then I can slide to the next 4 sets by dragging
It would be helpful if someone could point me in the right direction.
There is a nifty little github project that could help you... check it out: https://github.com/iosdeveloper/InfiniTabBar
This is not currently a built-in option for UITabBarContoller.
One way to approach the problem is to add a UIGestureRecognizer to the tabBar.view, and programmatically adjust which 4 options are available on the screen. You can add an animation to make it smooth or have a little bounce as it slides.
iPhone users are usually very picky and attached to Apple's UI Guidelines. Although you can pass the Apple verification, you probably wont be able to pass users' (meaning bad reviews and ratings). So I recommend you to re-consider your tabbar structure and use "..." More instead of sliding it... You can always override stuff in code, but then they wont work smooth with InterfaceBuilder and in the end you will have more trouble than you'd expect.
If you have similar tab items merge them and use maybe a segmented control or something to visually distinguish them. Or use a central navigation screen in which you can put 9 maybe more icons in a grid...
The first solution to your problem may not always be the best way. Well, it is very rare actually...
You have to write a custom control for this.
I wrote one for showing a horizontal menu. You can probably modify that to fit your needs.

I am new to iPhone development. I am using Titanium for developing but I guess that hardly concerns my question.
What UI elements where used to develop the certain pages of livingsocial? There are hardly 5-6 windows in the whole app.
a) For eg: if you see the main page(daily deals,escapes,purchases,settings) - did they use a window with a black background image & then added tableview to it for the four options? each tableviewrow has different images. Is that how it could be done?
Also if you notice the four options are scrollable but the heading livingsocial stays static & looks different from the native UI. How was that done?
b) If you look at sign in page (in settings) - they have two textfields & a sign in button inside a window. For the last element (Don't have an account?), is that again a tableview inside a scrollableview?
It would be great if someone can give a general outline as to how they developed their app & what UI objects we used.
edit: please find the screen shots :

That app uses a custom made UINavigationController (for the static bar at the top, that can accommodate the title of the view and different buttons depending on the view currently showing, namely a back button for returning to the main view) and UITableView with custom made cells.
b) If you look at sign in page (in settings) - they have two textfields & a sign in button inside a window. For the last element (Don't have an account?), is that again a tableview inside a scrollableview?
No, I think that's a UIButton, that just happens to look like an isolated cell. Also, that view doesn't look like its scrollable.
I'm not familiarized with Titanium, so I can't give you any directions there. But keep in mind that using custom controls usually takes more effort than simply using apple's own default.
In answer to your first question:
I'd use a tableview for that, with custom made cells to create that look. If it is not a main window on your tab you'll have to remove the 'back' button, otherwise it'll be fine.
In answer to your second question
The first 2 are textfields. The rest are all buttons (and the text above facebook button is a label).
If you're using titanium you could take a look at the kitchensink example.
Hope this helps!
