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.
how can I load and embed a custom font in my iphone app? what font file types are supported? (otf, ttf...)
It is possible to supply fonts with your app and use them. Take a look at CGFontCreateWithDataProvider which should provide all the functionality you need.
At least TTF is supported, not sure about OTF.
I tried to embed font at web pages. I can see the font rendering properly at latest non-IE browsers, but when I tried with Iphone Safari Browser, it doesn't render. I want to know whether Iphone Safari supports font embedding. Thanks.
They work in SVG format. Use the fontsquirrel.com generator to make the SVG version.
I'd noticed the same thing, but in truth you can get it to work but with SVG fonts. See this article: http://blog.themeforest.net/tutorials/how-to-achieve-cross-browser-font-face-support/ for a method for converting web fonts into enough formats to be truly cross-platform.
I want to write a simple program which can customize iphone icons like their positions or something like theme creators. and I want to know how some programs' settings are in the iphone main setting tab. I really need help.
thanx in advance
If you mean you want to retheme the springboard (the place where apps icons are displayed) you can't. If you want to retheme things inside your own application it is doable, but it really depends on the design of your application.
To get your apps settings into the Settings app you just need to add a Settings.bundle to your app, which a plist describing the preferences. There is documentation for it here.
There's an app that already does this for jailbroken iPhones. It's called iconoclasm, you can get it from Cydia.
