How to reproduce Three20 Slide Up To Refresh feature? - iphone

I would like to add this to a projet, but I don't want to add the full Three20 framework for a simple feature. How the framework does to always hide the first row, and to detect when it's sliding up ? After that, I suppose a callback url can just be called to refresh the table view.
Thanks !

Try one of the standalone implementations, like EGOTableViewPullRefresh.
Credit noted in this StackOverflow post also; which is where I first learned of it.

Positioning a sap.m.list

I'd like to create a twitter like stream out of a sap.m.list, hence when I get more data with a pulltorefresh control, I'd like to update the list with the additional rows, but should not move the list at all, and be hidden until the user scrolls the list down.
Any standard ways of doing this, or alternatively, custom CSS/JS recommended ways of doing this?
Thanks,
Matt
There's no need to drop down to jQuery here as OpenUI5 already contains the awesome iScroll library.
I've just setup a test app for you to have a look at here: https://github.com/js1972/ui5_pull_to_refresh.
Clone this; check the readme; then just run grunt serve to open the app in your default browser. You can use Chrome dev tools to emulate an iphone or android, etc.
I think this does what you're after - it works just like the GMail mobile app. You pull down to refresh items and at the end of the refresh your still looking at the same items but can now scroll up to see the new ones.
Will be interesting to see the performance if you have a thousand items... iScroll gives you allot of settings to play that may help (which aren't discussed in the UI5 SDK).
One thing to be careful of with browser scrolling is paint times. If the browser is not 100% done painting then iScroll can't calculate all the element dimensions it needs and you get strange results - typically just no scrolling. Sometimes you've just got to give a little time back to the browser by wrapping things in setTimeout(scroll_stuff, 0).
Hope this helps...
While not quite the answer I was after, looked into doing it another way, and provided you can work with automatically generated Id's that you'll need to calculate based on the row number, the following is one brute force way of doing it (I've borrowed it from another SO question and kept the animation for fun - Referenced SO Link):
var pOffset = $("#__item0-App--Main--MyList-76").position().top;
$("#App--Main--myPage-cont").animate({scrollTop: ( pOffset)}, 800);

How would one implement a sliding 2 button menu like this from Lift?

Can't post the image on the site but there it is.
I have been trying to find if this is a template or a separate nib file ala the page turn animation. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
That is called a UIActionSheet. It is created entirely in code, so it's limited to some pretty simple stuff (i.e. a few buttons, one of which is the cancel button, and one of which can be marked "destructive"). Just consult the documentation for the UIActionSheet class; it tells you all there is to know about it.
Also, here's the discussion in my book:

How to add drop down Table in to table view

In my application, I want to implement a drop down view when selecting every row in the table view.Can u give me an easy solution for implementing this functionality.
Thanks in advance
this type of functionality for that visits following link Please visit here.
You can also consider using navigation. That is how it is usually done in iPhone. On selecting a row in a table, push another table with the values you want to show in the drop down.
Apple has a sample code of TableView which deals with this issue. https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#samplecode/TableViewUpdates/Introduction/Intro.html%23//apple_ref/doc/uid/DTS40010139 is the link to download the sample code from Apple developer library. Hope it helps.
It seems that you are requiring a popover on selecting a tableview cell.
Download and run the sample application provided here.
I hope this is the one you required.

iPhone dev: Creating sliding drawers like Path and Facebook apps

The new Facebook app seem to have done away with the grid-icon layout, with a more interesting custom navigation layout where the bottom-most view shows all the options (like Profile, News Feed, Messages etc for Facebook) and clicking on one of them brings another view sliding over the top. You can press the 3-lines button to then expose the bottom-view again, but the current view is partially visible. The Path app also recently updated to match this scheme.
What's the best way to recreate this? I've searched for any open-source options but haven't found them. Three20 doesn't seem to support this either.
Another option that I wrote: ECSlidingViewController
It has support for orientation changes like Facebook and sliding to the left like Path.
Video demo: http://vimeo.com/35959384
Code: https://github.com/edgecase/ECSlidingViewController
Try These from Cocoa Controls:
JTRevealSidebar http://cocoacontrols.com/platforms/ios/controls/jtrevealsidebar
clcascade http://cocoacontrols.com/platforms/ios/controls/clcascade
StackScrollView http://cocoacontrols.com/platforms/ios/controls/stackscrollview

I found a really nice project on github:
https://github.com/devindoty/DDMenuController
Everything I've seen on the internet and those recommended by Yosi Taguri are all way too complicated. Drawers can be achieved by a very simple category to UINavigationController with no graphics asset whatsoever and no class extension needed, and backwards compatible with iOS 3.0!
Take a look a this:
http://code.google.com/p/drawer-navigation-controller/
Here is a video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5T-1-_pFbG0
This project (not mentioned above) looks like the most mature and polished to me: https://github.com/gotosleep/JASidePanels
Also, seems to still be active.
Edit: I have since transitioned to: https://github.com/mutualmobile/MMDrawerController which IMO is an almost perfect implementation.
Check my answer here - SplitView like Facebook app on iPhone - which contains a list of open-source codes.
if anyone's wondering which one to choose among JTReveal and DDMenu, I'd suggest DDMenucontroller over JTRevealSidebar (haven't used the other options listed by #Yosi). Its a lot simpler, lighter and works exactly the way the Path app works (and it is easier to modify to suit your requirements). Havent seen the issue of black background mentioned by #Henning
My project FRLayeredNavigationController on GitHub goes in about the same direction.
(The spacing between the layers is easily configurable and it supports rotation of course).
Have a look at the demo videos/screenshots:

Here's another one: PPSlideDrawer.
http://www.localwisdom.com/blog/2013/05/simple-sliding-drawer-implementation-for-ios/
I checked out #Ephraim's answer (http://code.google.com/p/drawer-navigation-controller/) because it seems pretty easy to work with. The problem, it seems, with drawer-navigation-controller is that the swiping animation does not follow the user's finger--it is automated. PPSlideDrawer aims to solve that. I'm about to try it out in my project and will post some updates.
Might be a dealbreaker for some that the following are still under "TODO:"
Implement auto open functionality.
Implement swipe from edge functionality(rather than just detect panning gesture).
Landscape support.
Here is one thats very easy to implement and use with storyboards. It has control for shrinking, show hide animations, and direction.

Create springboard like main view

Is there some sample code, or an easy way, to implement an application with as its first view something like Springboard?
What I am looking for is just a view with basic icons which after a tab on an icon tells the view-controller to push the view associated with the selected icon.
This in itself is not that difficult off-course (just putting images on a view), but is there an easy way to implement all the extra functionality as well (as e.g. moving the icons around (start 'vibrating' when when you push hold them), multiple pages etc.). The Facebook App seems to have this. It is probably not worth my while to write it myself, but it would be nice if there is something 'out of the box' to give the App a bit more of an iPhone feel.
Thanks in advance!
Facebook uses the Three20 library for its UI. The specific view used for the SpringBoard-like interface is known as TTLauncherView.
This is not an endorsement (I have yet to really check this out, and I may be too entrenched in using Three20 at this point to even bother), but here is another project that implements the springboard functionality: myLauncher on Github
You can use UICollectionView to create this
Look at this example
