iphone: Button/Image on top of TabBarController? - iphone

When in the Camera Roll section of the Photos app, you can click the top right button to edit the photos. This replaces the bottom tab bar with three new buttons.
I would like to do something similar, but I cannot get my buttons to be on TOP of the tab bar. Is there a way to specify the layer order? Or do I need to do something different?

I would add a new UIView. I would add it to the view your tab bar is in (like, let's say UIWindow). From there you can use -bringViewToFront (or something similar). That way you will have control over what is in front of the UITabBarController's view.

Drop-down list in navigation bar iOS

I want to implement a drop-down list in the navigation bar, which contains all categories such as in this application:
I want to know what its name, and steps to implement it.
You need to place your View underneath the navigation bar but put its position to high so it isn't visible. Then when you press that button use UIViews animations to slide it down. It's that simple and there isn't any special kind of view.

Showing a overlaying menu when tab bar item is clicked - IOS

Thanks for reading my question!
I have a 5-part tabbar which I use for app navigation, the center tab is covered by a UIButton and is slightly larger (much like the instagram app). This works fine.
But what I want is the far right tab bar item to show a overlaying menu when clicked. I don't want it to switch to a viewcontroller with a menu. I want the menu to be displayed no matter which of the other views you're in at the moment. So I want it to act much like a button which is in the tabbar. But I have no idea how to go about doing this.
Should I use a overlaying button over the tabbaritem or should I catch the tabbarclick, but how can I prevent the view from changing in that case?
Thanks you for any help!
You need to implement UITabBarDelegate. Then override tabBar:didSelectItem: and implement your custom displaying here. See below for reference
http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/UIKit/Reference/UITabBarDelegate_Protocol/Reference/Reference.html
Then i would just make a custom UIView and fade it in when that specific tagged UITabBarItem is pressed.

Implement UIToolBar so it acts like a UITabBar and UIToolBar at the same time

I have an interesting problem. I have an app that I'm developing that involves photos so screen space is at a premium. Also, using disappearing and reappearing nav / tool bar controllers (like in the camera app) doesn't make sense for me. In a perfect world, I'd use a UITabBar to switch between the 4 main navigational view controllers that my program implements, however I also am going to need space for a toolbar right on top of the tab bar most of the time. These two components take up too much space between the two of them so I need a way to save some space.
That's where I came up with the idea of using a toolbar to implement the functionality of both the TabBar and ToolBar. On the left side of the ToolBar would be the 4 buttons that allow access to my 4 main navigational view controllers. The one that is currently on the window would have it's button depressed. Then there would be a divider, and on the right side of the tool bar would be buttons specific to whatever view is currently on the window.
Anyhow, I'm just wondering if anyone has any clever ideas on how they'd implement this?
wat do u mean by left and right of toolbar??? adding a tab bar will not affect ur view size. when adding a toolbar, well yes it does affect ur view size.
my idea wolud be add a toolbar to the top of ur view and u can make it visible only when the user taps on the screen. until then keep the toolbar hidden. when the user clicks for the second time on the screen hide ur toolbar. this way u can have the whole view for ur pics and also have a toolbar for giving options.

UITabBarController - more than 20 views

I am using a tab bar (UITabBarController) on my app and I wish to have more than 20 different views to choose from.
If there are more than 5, "More" menu appears. I can access any of my views from "More" menu but I have problems with customizing my TabBar with "Configure" (Edit) navigation bar. I can see only 20 first view icons and I can't scroll the view any direction. Icon with numbers 21 or higher are unavailable in "Configure" (Edit) navigation bar
Is there a way to scroll up and down (or left and right) to be able to customize TabBar with all of my view icons? Is there the other way to customize "Configure" (Edit) navigation bar to get access to all view icons?
Looks like there is no solution for this :( except creating your own UITabBarController.
This is a limitation of the controller provided by Apple, but you can work around this problem as follows:
Catches the action of the edit button and replace it with your own action that aims to display a custom screen that plays differently the sort action.
I have done this way in my applications, when I had the need.
