I can't see how this is possible from the documentation but here nike is doing it in their app so there must be a way.
It's impossible unfortunately. Apple developed it for Nike, so they used tricks of their own to do it. It might actually be possible, but it's certainly undocumented if possible. Impossible for an App Store app. Let us know if you figure out a way to do it even if it's undocumented.
If you use the library InAppSettingsKit, you can have a setting that uses a custom subview (a custom UIViewController) to display the choice to the user. So all you have to do is to create a custom view controller that looks just the one in your picture (it's basically just a UITableView and a UIPickerView).
In the example app that comes along with InAppSettingsKit, there is an example on how to use a custom subview.

im trying to build in a static menu bar in my uipageviewcontroller like youtube has. Does anyone know how to implement it ?
What are you asking for is not part of the iOS SDK. As you will see the more you program, there is not point in hacking the SDK here and there to make visual elements look and behave the way you want. You're better off creating custom views in NIBs (or in code if so your heart desires), plugging the behavior you want into them, and use that instead of the SDK.
If you do want to use a UIPageViewController, here is a tutorial you can refer to for inspiration. The UISegmentControl can easily be replaced bya view of your own. Good luck!
EDIT: I realized I forgot how to include the link. Here you go: Switching controllers with a UISegmentedControl
I am relatively new to Objective-C / iPhone programming, and have only created single view applications thusfar. I am interested in creating an app soon than will have a "wireframe" in a sense that allows me navigate the various views of my app using buttons. So I guess my questions are:
What do I need to do to make an app that has more than one view
How to I link them with UIActions in buttons to navigate the various screens (ex a back button to go to a previous screen)
and I may have more as I go, but this is a start.
Thanks!
Since no one really had a clear helpful answer, I will share my own conclusion. Xcode 4 offers a very intuitive and interactive way to create multiple MVCs and segue between them even providing the interface to travel between views. I found out how to use this feature from Paul Haggarty's iOS course on iTunes U. I highly recommend it.

You'd can use a combination of, multiple UIViewController and or UINavigationController's. Utilizing methods such as presentModalViewController:animated: and pushViewController:.
I'm developing an app in IOS using Storyboard for the Ipad. I want to add UISplitViewController as a subview of my app. I want to generate this kind of output (see below image). when user click on FirstView's 'Next' button, a second view-splitview should appear.
Output:
But Apple's guidelines says that we can't push UISplitViewController as a subview of module. if we use a UISplitViewController, it has to be visible at all the times in our app.
so
when i tried to add any splitviewcontroller directly into the storyboard, it generated the error .
Split View Controllers cannot be pushed to a Navigation Controller
I dig around the net but unfortunately couldn't find any proper help.
is there any official alternative to use such a kind of facility by Apple itself?
or any link to the working code or samples to implement such a kind of functionality.
If i'm using third party solution, will my app get banned by Apple App store as they don't allow to do so?
I think this is a very basic kind of functionality which many people needs to implement in their app as a submodule. So there must be a inbuilt facility by apple. may b i don't know about it.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
This isn't an answer to your exact question, but may help in part.
I have an app that uses a UISplitViewController that is a subview of a UITabBarController.
This goes against Apple guidelines, but was desirable for my design that started originally as an iPhone app, and that I wanted to convert to a Universal app. I also wanted to maintain the UI convention of my app that the iPhone users were familiar with.
Unsurprisingly, there were problems with the notification of the orientation to the various UISplitViewControllers that weren't visible (though it would seem that Apple could support this if they chose to).
The workaround was to use the new API added in iOS 5.0,
splitViewController:shouldHideViewController:inOrientation:
...and always return NO. Not the ideal UI arrangement, but it works, and was accepted by Apple as an app update.
So, (clearly) you'll need to do this programmatically, rather than use Storyboards, but I think if you can get it working, Apple may approve. I wouldn't recommend you risk this if you can avoid it, however.
I am looking for a iOS Music app style Callout functionality. What I mean with that is that I want to get the same kind of callout "bubble" you get when press-and-hold within the Music app on iOS5.
I have been searching for a good solution for this, but can't find it.
The closest to what I need is: Use UITableView bubble/callout like iPod app However, this user didn't share what solution he had.
The libs I have looked at are:
https://github.com/jayway/CWUIKit
https://github.com/edanuff/MonoTouchCalloutView
http://www.eidac.de/?p=183
All of these have one this in common: They are useless.
The problem with these are that they all use a static callout view using PNG images, not one with a pointer beneath. Also, they do not adapt to the size of the screen; thus the bubble gets outside of the screen.
Any suggestions on a good library which I can use to implements this within my app?
What about WEPopover?
It might be what you want.
WEPopover for iOS
I am looking to integrate the ability to select images from the built in library into an iOS app.
UIImagePickerController seems like the obvious choice.
However, it only works as a modal view controller. For design reasons, the image selection in this app needs to be part of an UIViewController itself.
After some research on the web and searching the StackOverflow archives, it seems I will need to implement my own Image Picker from scratch using ALAssetsLibraryto access the images stored on the device. However this is quite a task (if done well).
Thus my questions are:
1) Is there already an existing library or class (or would someone be willing to share his/her existing code) for this purpose?
2) Alternatively, is there a way to extend the UIImagePickerController to add more interface elements to it?
For some of my own projects, I use the ELCImagePickerController, but this again is meant for modal presentation.
But since it's open source, you may be able to make modifications to allow it to be embedded in the way you want it to be presented.
