I want to have a custom view for UIActivityIndicatorView rather than relying on options given by iOS. How can I create my own view here?
I have a list of images with me to create a animated view.
As you haven't specified the case in which you want to use the activity indicator,
check the below tutorial blog for custom UIActivityIndicatorView,
Custom UIActivityIndicatorView (EDIT: This link is gone)
Showing a "Loading..." message over the iPhone keyboard
This is implementation of custom UIActivityIndicator from scratch ready for integrating.
Abhinav, if you want to use a set of images you could as well use a UIImageView. Set the animationImages and start-stop as you wish.
This one looks nice and clean, can be hooked to the code easily too.

The iPhone camera toolbar holds the following buttons: cancel/record
I would like to change the cancel button to the small image button that takes me to the photo library.
I wasn't sure if i need to use the overlay or does the xcode have something more comfortable in this case since this is something well known and used.
Is there something like this?
Thanks,
You can set overlayView to your UIImagePickerController
imagePicker.cameraOverlayView = yourOverlayView;
UIImagePickerController Class Reference
You can customize an image picker controller to manage user interactions yourself. To do this, provide an overlay view containing the controls you want to display, and use the methods described in “Capturing Still Images or Movies.” You can display your custom overlay view in addition to, or instead of, the default controls. Custom overlay views for the UIImagePickerController class are available in iOS 3.1 and later by way of the cameraOverlayView property. For a code example, see the PhotoPicker sample code project.
I'm looking to create a custom UIView (like the above realtor.com app) so when the user selects send email or something to that effect a little view pops up confirming the action then disappears. Any direction, tutorials or code snippets would be greatly appreciated. Also what is the correct terminology of what I'm looking to do? Please excuse my ignorance on this subject.
Use Custom UIActivityIndicator that you can found in this link
https://github.com/jdg/MBProgressHUD
This is not Apple specific controls. You can create them. The pop up shown in first image is very easy to make. You'll have to use 3 controls to make it.
1) Background UIImageView with the image.
2) UIActivityIndicatory
3) UILabel with whatever message you want to display.
MBProgressHUD is an iOS drop-in class that displays a translucent HUD with an indicator and/or labels while work is being done in a background thread. The HUD is meant as a replacement for the undocumented, private UIKit UIProgressHUD with some additional features.......
There is more option that useful for your work, For mor information go to above Link
Why not use something that's already available? Take a look at ZAActivityBar (https://github.com/zacaltman/ZAActivityBar) which handles creating 'toast'-like popups.
It's a part of CocoaPods, so it's very easy to install.
yes you can customize,go throgh below steps
1)add selector to your sendEmail button
2)in that selector function create one view, and add your emailSent image as a background
3)now add this view to mainView simply by addSubView
or for nice than above
1)add selector to your sendEmail button
2)in that selector function create one UIControl of size 480 x320, and add a imageView to it & if you want also can add one ok button
3)now add selector for UIControl, in that selector function just remove your view from sperView
4)now add UIcontrol to mainView
Here you can find the source code for showing toast like android

As far as I know, there's no standard UI component that looks like Apple's wifi selection popup:
Are there any open source custom components out there that I can use to get a similar popup in my app? If not, how would I go about writing my own?
I did find this on Google Images:
So I guess it is possible.
You can add subviews to a UIAlertView and make a custom behavior. I would recommend looking at this link:
http://codesofa.com/blog/archive/2009/07/15/look-uialertview-is-dating-uitableview.html
I also found this similar question:
How to add UITableView to UIAlertView?
Its a UIAlertView with a UITableView inside it.
The top view containing the switch is a UITableViewCell - Grouped with a UISwitch ontop.
The bottom view is just a UITableView.
i want to customize my tableview, like the tipulator app for the iphone.
And heres my app:
Each UITableViewCell has a few subviews which you can replace with your own. They are:
UITableViewCell.imageView
UITableViewCell.contentView
UITableViewCell.backgroundView
UITableViewCell.accessoryView
As Gendolkari pointed out, Cocoa With Love has a great guide on custom UITableViews.
The theory is that you replace each of those views with an appropriate view to "skin" your UITableViewCells.
When replacing the background view, you check for the first and last cells when skinning the background view, otherwise you can use a "middle" background image. Implement it as a UIImageView. As far as the other views, use what you want.
Additionally, you can use a completely custom NIB file and load that in instead of the default styles provided by UIKit.
While the others are right in suggesting ways to subclass UITableView or its components, this screenshot doesn't look like it's showing a UITableView.
My guess is that they're just drawing custom images onto a background and checking certain areas for taps. What you should do is read up on the drawing methods as well as on intercepting taps and touches.
Here's a really good guide on custom styling for your table:
http://cocoawithlove.com/2009/04/easy-custom-uitableview-drawing.html
Create your own UITableViewCell, and use it, rather than a "generic" one.
You can do this directly in XCode with "File->New File" Then in "Cocoa Touch Class", choose "Objective-C Class" - and under the "Subclass" popup, select "UITableViewCell".
It well generate a XIB, which you can use in IB to customize the look.
Instantiate and pass-in there cells in your UITableView code, instead of the normal UITableViewCells.
How do you get a UILabel to float above Alex Fajkowski's implementation of CoverFlow called OpenFlow?
Ok I've figured it out. I just had to use bringSubviewToFront with the UILabel.
Thanks to everybody who answered.
Make an OpenFlow instance and a UILabel instance subviews of a parent view, placing the label atop with flow view using -insertSubview:atIndex:, -addSubview: or similar e.g.:
[self.view addSubview:myOpenFlow];
[self.view addSubview:myLabel];
To answer the second question, try this: edit the AFOpenFlowView in IB and add the label view as a subview of that wherever you want it to appear, then set the attributes on the view to Hidden if you don't want it to appear by default. Create an IBOutlet for the label view in your controller so you can easily manipulate it, such as setting hidden to show in order to show it. I'm not familiar with open flow so I'm not sure if it will programmatically create a subview that will obscure your label. If so you may need to use the outlet to move it to the front using UIView methods.
The Openflow example code shows a perfect demonstration of this. Alex adds an info button in the top right of the openflow view using interface builder. This is exactly what you are asking for.
I would add that if you can't understand what is going on from the example code, you should look at more code examples from Apple demonstrating simple UIView usage.
It's not so easy because the label name has to change for each picture. We have to work with index, and with event.. move.. tap.. selected...I'm working on too !
