Is it possible to customize UIImagePickerController? - iphone

When using UIImagePickerController to browse a folder, I hope to customize UIImagePickerController as below
in thumbnails mode, place a customized subview (includes a Label and a button) under each thumbnail.
Is it possible?
If not, is there any other third party's free or comercial framework can do this?
Thanks

In short, no. The UIImagePickerController is a black box user interface provided by the SDK. It should not be subclassed or modified. Doing so may cause your app to be rejected during review.
You might be able to accomplish this with Three20's TTThumbsViewController which you should be able to modify without risking Apple's wrath.

How to add photo library button on a UIImagePickerController?

Does anyone know how to enable the photo album button on a UIImagePickerController when it's in the camera mode?
I am very new in iOS development. I have seen this kind of question, but I can't understand it so please help me out by explaining step by step and give sample code if possible.
I'm afraid (I looked into doing this recently) that there is no easy way (i.e no built in setting) that you can simply enable.
You must use the cameraOverlayView property of the UIImagePickerController to add a custom view over the camera view which will include a photo album button.

iOS Delete Button - Objective C

I was wondering where does one get access to iOS delete button. This is the button that Apple uses to close the iAd window, and for deleting iPhone apps from the home screen, and also the Twitter App uses it to delete the photo that you add to a tweet. Do they just download this image somewhere or is there an option for it somewhere like for the info button, and the detail disclosure.
Thanks
I also found that Growl uses this icon along with Lion's Mission Control...
You can use UIKit Artwork Extractor to extract about any iOS artwork that is not public. Just search for close and you will find several close button png images.
Apple doesn't make that image available, unfortunately.
This iPad template has the icon you want, though, in a PSD: http://www.teehanlax.com/downloads/ipad-gui-psd/
If it's actually an image and the iOS Simulator displays it, it should be hidden somewhere inside the Simulator frameworks or support files.
What, you mean the circle with an X in it? It's pretty easy to make your own, either in an image editor or just drawing it in code. I can guarantee you that's what the Twitter app did.

Is it possible to attach slide show feature in Three20 framework?
Thanks in advance....
Three20 has slideshow functionality in the photo framework, but I've never used it. It's available in the TTPhotoViewController.

Is it possible to load a view when we click a coverflow image? (iPhone SDK)

Is it possible to load a view when we click a coverflow image?
Please suggest how this can be done.
Here you go ;)

Please vote this post up if it helps :D
CoverFlow is not a standard iOS component. It doesn't have a public API. You'll need to either create your own or use a library someone else created.
In answer to your question, it is possible to load a view when you click an image. The iPod app probably creates a view, then uses an animation to present it onscreen.

Grid View as demoed in iPad

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.
