, how to open and close screen with effect like Facebook? - iphone

I'm using three20 for my dashboard.
(ttlauncher)
Now when I select a icon to open a screen
How do I make the screen open like Facebook? (small to big)
And close to return to the dashboard like Facebook? (big to small)
Do I need to modify the ui screens to use three20 aswell? Or the effect is standard iOS effects?

These are custom animations developed by the team who worked on the App.
If you download the Facebook iOS SDK you should be able to have a glimpse at how it's done by looking through the source code and using it as a reference.

Of particular interest to you is the FBDialog class (which is a UIView subclass).

iOS Delete Button - Objective C

I was wondering where does one get access to iOS delete button. This is the button that Apple uses to close the iAd window, and for deleting iPhone apps from the home screen, and also the Twitter App uses it to delete the photo that you add to a tweet. Do they just download this image somewhere or is there an option for it somewhere like for the info button, and the detail disclosure.
Thanks
I also found that Growl uses this icon along with Lion's Mission Control...
You can use UIKit Artwork Extractor to extract about any iOS artwork that is not public. Just search for close and you will find several close button png images.
Apple doesn't make that image available, unfortunately.
This iPad template has the icon you want, though, in a PSD: http://www.teehanlax.com/downloads/ipad-gui-psd/
If it's actually an image and the iOS Simulator displays it, it should be hidden somewhere inside the Simulator frameworks or support files.
What, you mean the circle with an X in it? It's pretty easy to make your own, either in an image editor or just drawing it in code. I can guarantee you that's what the Twitter app did.

How to integrate safari into iphone app?

I'm trying to use UIWebView to display web page, but I don't know how to implement the bule progress bar background and address bar drap disabled when loading
SVWebViewController is pretty much what you are looking for. Hope it helps...

Forward and back native buttons in UIWebview iphone

Inside the Twitter iPhone app, if you click on a link it pushes in a WebView.
Ive gotten this far, but I can't find the correct identifier for the forward and backward buttons like at the bottom left of the image below. Are they native? or are they just images they have created themselves?
You might want to have a look at a drop-in inline web view controller I did: SVWebViewController. It should save you a fair bit of coding :)
Per the list of UIBarButtonItems from the docs, those items you desire need to be custom images a they are not provided in the current SDK.

Best Method To Create A Very Minimally Interactive Slideshow of Images On iPad

A client of mine wants to show her "listing presentations" (she's a Realtor) to clients on her iPad. A Listing Presentation is normally a slideshow that shows how a Realtor can help the client.
She simply wants a slideshow that she can gesture from slide to slide, and perhaps a small button that allows her to email the slide or some information to the client on the spot.
What would be the best method to accomplish this? Flash Hack, Adobe AIR, Simple Appcelerator App, Native iPad App?
Thanks!
Create a native iPad app and modify the Three20 library for iPad, it has classes for slideshow viewer, retrieval of images from lists of URL's etc.
All you would need to do is change the xib files / code layout for the viewer class to take into account the larger iPad screen.

What is the iPhone API or Class that does picture scrolling with the cool reflection effect?

For example, in CNN's iPhone app, if you rotate the phone into landscape mode, it shows all the stories as pictures that you can scroll with your finger. It looks really polished with even a "reflection" effect. I've seen another app also do this, leading me to believe that it is a standard iPhone SDK API.
Here is a link to a screenshot from the CNN app so you can see what I'm talking about:

Anyone know what Class this is?
Thanks!
Try this: Open source CoverFlow library for iPhone
Also do a google search for Coverflow. I think that might do what you want or something close to it.
