Wanna create a custom splash screen for the iPhone, but Im asking for opinion from all of you.
For what I understand, the splash screen is only a image (Default.png), so if I want to make the splash screen longer, the only way I can do is create a image then add the subview to the front? Then create a timer to call a method to remove the image from the view.
But then I want to create a media type splash screen, which will show audio, video and etc. So the question is what flow will it look like. The only way I think of is create a ViewController, then present it in a modal view. Later I also will add in an option to detect a tap from user, if tapped then the media will quit/hide/dismiss the fake splash screen and present the main view controller.
For now the flow of my thinking is like this:
AppDelegate --> RootViewController --> SplashViewController(Modal View)
is it possible to make it like this?
AppDelegate --> SplashViewController --> RootViewController
Is there any other way to show the media when the app start?
Any answer is appreciate, thank you in advance.
set the root view controller of your navigation controller to Be your splash screen.
Then just dont allow the user to navigate that low.
after the timer lapses, push onto the nav with animation:NO and your splash screen will be replaced.
Alternatively you can add your splash.. and when the timer lapses, you tell the splash screen to remove itself from its parent view, then add your root controller.

I am working in a app I an considering making a splash screen with a uiprogression bar, taking the time the loading of the app lasts...
I am not sure how to do this.
Can anyone give me a few tips please.
PS: I am asking this because I think I cannot add a class to launchscreen... So is it possible to do this in the launchscreen? If so, how?
You can't do much on launchscreen since, even custom font's not are loaded on it. Just create initial navigation controller, where first view controller will have your progress bar, write a delegate for your progress bar so when it will finish loading it will do action.
You can't do anything on launch screen. But If you want to show uiprogress bar on launch screen then you have to design a view controller just like your launch screen and show it right after launch screen, do your work while uiprogress bar is showing when you finish your work then show next controller.
I am trying to show a modal view controller that hovers over another viewcontroller. Now the problem is when I use pushViewControllerAnimated the view controller that gets pushed will be as big as the whole iphone screen. I just want it to be half size of the screen.
How to adjust the size?
What exactly do you mean by half size of the screen?

Read http://devblog.bu.mp/easy-partial-screen-modals-on-ios if you really have to use an UIViewController for that, which is not recommended by Apple (http://blog.carbonfive.com/2011/03/09/abusing-uiviewcontrollers/)
Hope this helps.
I created a view that will look like a splash screen and which will be loaded when the app is first started. I have also created a segue that will take from the initial splash screen to the main view after some certain background tasks have been performed. However, I have no idea how to initiate the segue since I don't have any user interaction within that splash screen. Does anyone have an answer to this problem?
If you have an UIViewController created from the storyboard, you can start a segue in code using performSegueWithIdentifier:sender:
I am new at ios programming and I need some help, can't figure out how I am going to switch between two views without firing a button event
I have a splash screen waits for 2 sec then it should go to main view. I don't know how I am going to acquire the main view's reference and navigate to main view!
Any tutorial about switching between views programmatically?
Thanks for your help.
Cheers
For Splash screen you have to name it Default.png and in appDelegate didFinishlaunchingMethod, you have to add view controller to window. the Default.png is automatically reference as a splash screen. try it out
Start with one of Xcodes default projects, and see how they are setup. They should give you a window, with a main view out of the box.
If you add a Default.png image file to your project, it will automatically be used as a splash screen and displayed upon startup. However it will not be visible for 2 seconds, but rather as long as it takes for the application to start.
If you want it to be displayed longer, you will have to add a UIImageView with the same png image to your mainview, then remove this from your mainview after two seconds.
You can use performSelector:withObject:afterDelay to trigger the hiding of the UIImageView after a period of time. However this goes against Apples design guide, as the splash screen only is meant as a ting for the user to look upon before the application launches.
As for adding new views, I recommend using a UINavigationViewController. Using this enables you to navigate back to the main view, and you also get a nice animation as a transition between the views.
If you want to switch between views you use addSubview

I am working on an app where i have a view controller that contains a view in that view i have a button that when pressed i would like it to load my tabViewController.
I trying to get a splash screen to load before my app so i can do some downloading and parsing of data before i load my tabViewController because the data im putting the data into a tableView that is in the tabViewController.
Here's a good example on creating a splash screen
http://adeem.me/blog/2009/06/22/creating-splash-screen-tutorial-for-iphone/
I would suggest that you look into using performSelector and launching a background thread
before putting your splash screen up to populate/parse the data.
