Is there a way to data bind some data to a view's controls in an ipad app?
Thanks
If you are talking about Cocoa Bindings it is currently not available on the iOS platform. You could perhaps look at this question as a starting point.

So far I've only dealed with iPhone Apps and the time has come to make them universal. I was watching the lecture about universal Apps by Paul Hegarty on iTunesU and some questions poped into my head.
If I understood the concep allright the main difference between an iPad and an iPhone (when coding) is that the iPad allows the splitview controller and one should take advantadge of it, right?
What Mr. Hegarty did was to adapt the code on one App and add conditionals to differ when the App was running on an iPad or an iPhone.
My question is, is that the usual way it is done? I am a very organized guy and I like stuff to be as much structured as possible. So my first though was to create a complete set of view controllers to manage the iPad storyboard rather that have a single view controller filled with code for both devices.
is it possible to do so as well? what is considered to be a good practice?
Thanks in advance!
I think a good practice for a universal app would be reuse as much code as possible. Otherwise, why not create two different apps?
There are not that many differences between iphone and ipad controls except on iPad we can use popover and split view. So I would share the code in view controller as much as I can.
I just published a git for "converting" iPhone app into Universal app. Take a look - https://github.com/BTLibrary/BTSplitViewController
Hii friends,
i m new to iphone development and i have gone through some iphone applications with awesome UI design.
i guess those UIElements are not standard Iphone controls,if so
How to create Custom Controls or any different nice look for controls?
Thanks to all..
Check out the three20 UI Library.
I have a question about the objective C. I am writing the iPhone application and I want to app which can also run on iPad. Is there are some change do I need to do? As I set the element in code rather than using the Interface builder. Do I need to reset the x,y,width and height for the application? Thank you very much.
You can run exactly the same app developed for iPhone on the iPad. However, it will not use the full screen of the iPad. Look at the Facebook app for instance, you can zoom it but it doesn't look very nice. If your goal is to run an iPhone app on the iPad, you don't have to bother much. If you want to really support iPad in your application you should implement a separate UI for iPad and this is supported in XCode. The iPad has of course a larger screen but also some additional layouts and controls that make apps look great on the iPad.
Have a look at http://developer.apple.com they have more information about this.
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.
I'm looking an e-book or some example/samples/tutorials for reach GUI implementation with 3d animation in an iPhone Application.
If anybody has any references then could you please let me know..
Thanks in advance..
I think, you should read Bill Dudney's Core Animation for Mac OS X and the iPhone: Creating Compelling Dynamic User Interfaces book before start planning your 3D animations on Iphone.
