Links in UINavigationController - iphone

What is the class type used to create items that look like HTML links in iPhone apps? Is it just a label with formatted text? How is the selection detected?
I am looking to have a Navigation Controller and have some text links on the root page. The user can then select any of the links, and the controller will go to the page for that link.

You can use UIButton and choose "custom" as "type". If you don't specify any border, it looks like click-/tabable text.

Drupal 8 - browser tab title translations for views

I am creating a multilingual site in Drupal 8. The browser tab title for nodes translate, but in a view the titles are all in english.
Currently, the goal is to create one view page and use a URL alias to direct to the other translation views. I have the filter set to content revisions for languages using the "Interface text language selected for page". On these view pages, everything but the title translates.
Is there a way to force the browser tab titles to translate without having to create additional view pages for each language?
Thank you in advance for any advice
If by "browser tab title" you mean Views' title, enable "Configuration Translation" core module, and then click on "Translate" link next to your View ("Operations" column, /admin/structure/views).
If you mean titles of nodes' which you output in a View, then check out settings of a default prebuild "FrontPage" View, because it works just great with content translations, maybe you've just missed some important settings which you can spot there.

lightweight implementation of textview with links?

Is there any lightweight implementation of text with links (highlighted text associated with a uri which a user can click on) on ios? Webview would be too complicated. And I don't want to be using three20 either.
You can implement text with link in following way:
1) Just display the text in label.
2) And take one button on label, set it's property as "Custom Button". So that, text will be displayed.
3) Implement click event of button. And open the url which you want to open.
Hope it will be helpful to you.
Let me know in case of any difficulty.

iphone, how to create Combobox like in this image (Birthday combo box)

How can i display combo box like the one you see in the image (Birthday combobox) on this site:
http://www.edumobile.org/iphone/iphone-programming-tutorials/how-to-use-picker-in-iphone/
Is it UITextField or UIButton... How can i create such control?
I think it's a custom button with image that looks like combobox. pressing it opens probably a date picker. You need an image that looks like combobox and to customize your table cell appearance - add a button as accessory view or create a custom cell in IB
You are referring to the screenshot at the top of the article ?
To me it looks like the app is either a WebView or has manually created button image ... to my knowledge there is no native Combo buttons in the UIKit.
Sorry to share the bad news.
Good Luck

How to set text in a UITextView as a link to a URL

I have some text in a UITextView, that I would like to have show as blue, and serve as a link to a website. How do I do that in interface builder?
In Interface Builder, select the UITextView, open the inspector, go to the Text View Attributes tab, then make share "Detect Links" is checked.
This only works for items that look like links (http://stackoverflow.com)
For making arbitrary links, then you will want to use a UIWebView instead.

iPhone Cocoa hyperlink

is there a way to display a hyperlink in an iPhone native app. Is this done with a label or another UI object?
Thanks!

Take a look at Three20 TTStyledText class
Create a custom UIButton with only text (no background image) and write an IBAction on its click - you have a hyperlink...
You can embed your text along with hyper link mark ups in a uiwebview object via a static HTML file. Another way is to show the link text on a uibutton and upon click of that button open safari to navigate to the link
I suggest the following solution: Display the htperlink text as a label and put a detailed disclusure button after it. (Detailed disclosure button is an arrowhead in a circle (>). Set the button title to the url, and make an IBAction that handle the click of the button. In this action you can create a new UIWebView, display it and load the URL into it.
There is actually built-in support for this with a UITextView. Check out the accepted answer to this stackoverflow question: How to add hyperlink in iPhone app?
