What springboard type UI components is this app using? - iphone

What sort of springboard like UI component is this application using?
http://quickbinsapp.com/
It is very similar to the generic iphone springboard / home screen app launcher except this is an application that uses draggable contacts. I'd like to build something similar except instead of contacts have my own custom objects that are draggable around the screen but managed on a grid similar to the springboard / home screen and like in this app?
What should I be reading up on or looking at? I haven't found anything in the SDK yet. Does it have be custom built?

If what you want is springboard-like functionality, the AQGridView code includes an example that's halfway there to what you'd need, and you don't have to pull in all of Three20 to use it. (Three20 projects and UIKit projects don't like to coexist typically.)

Not sure what they're using, but the Three20 project has a springboard-like component

Transparent canvas in flutter

I would like to create an app, that works as a framework for using e.g. the ipad.
That means, that you will start the app and continue working normally with it, while suddenly e.g. animals cross the screen.
Hence the app should create a transparent canvas on top of the ipad user interface where all animations can be played.
Do packages for that exist?
Unfortunately, what you're asking for isn't currently supported in flutter. The closest you can get is notifications at the moment using a package like this
I'm assuming you want to make something along the lines of this goose desktop application for windows. Your best bet in this situation is to go native and maybe even make your own dart package.

Recreating iOS Camera app overlay buttons

I'm trying to recreate the Camera.app buttons and interface from iOS in my own, custom camera application built on GPUFilter. Specifically talking about the Flash, Options, and front vs back camera button toggle that are across the top of the app:
Curious to know if these are built into Storyboards as UI objects or if there's another easy way to recreate these without totally reprogramming. I'm also interested in using the overlay table view that they use (in picture above) for options.
Thanks!
You can using AVCamCaptureManager and AVCamRecorder classes. Apple has a demo program build on its developer site here.

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

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).

Iphone configurable button menu

Im just wondering if anyone knows the best approach to make a configuable button menu. Im trying to make one like the standard iphone button interface where I will 4 buttons across and 4 buttons down. And like on the iphone button menus, when you press and hold it allows the users to move the buttons around to the configuration they desire. Also like the facebook iphone app menu.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Your best bet is probably the Three20 Library. It has lots of general functions, but specifically you would use TTLauncherView, which is derived from the Facebook application. There is an example included in library source, which can be downloaded Here.
Another option that doesn't use the Three20 library is to use paging with the UIScrollView.

Grid View as demoed in iPad

I'm trying to develop a grid-like application for the iPad. Has anyone seen a control that displays info in a grid? In the demos they use a grid-like layout in both the iBooks store and the pictures application.
Specifically in pictures, they are displaying a dynamic list of data in a grid.
I can work around it, of course, but I'd rather use a control if one exists. Thanks!
DTGridView:

You should try AQGridView it does what you need.
Here are few screens of apps that use this library:
The people who know what controls are or or not in the 3.2 iPhone dev tools have all committed to Apple NDA so we can't tell you.
Steve is always watching.
If you have signed the NDA you should go to the Apple boards and ask.
You can however, make a gird like display very simply with the standard UITableview. Just have a tableviewcell subclass that displays columns. It took me about an hour to reproduce the photo picker display using that method.
Nope, you will have to create your own. People have been writing Home Screen compatible views though, so you might want to search for open source projects with that functionality.
