Using Multiple connected .xib files for different views

Noise · 10-13-2009, 10:30 AM

I'm looking at making an app that uses multiple views - each connected by a button. I want it so that when I press a the button, it goes to the next view, perhaps with an image shown in between them.

How would I go about doing this? I've used multiple windows in a window based app before, but never multiple .xib files for individual views that I can design in IB.

Anyone?

are you asking how to do it without writing any code, purely using IB? i don't believe that is possible. somehow you have to trigger the transition between views. you can use a UINavigationController (hide the top bar if you don't want users to see it or be able to move backwards), or do it all manually with coreanimation (see the "viewtransitions" sample app at the apple site), or get really simple and do

Code:

[[view1 superview] addSubview:view2];
[view1 removeFromSuperview];

loads of tutorials on this.

here are a couple:

YouTube - iPhone SDk Tutorial - Switching ViewsControllers With Animation

YouTube - Iphone SDK: How to Switch Views (Part 1)

YouTube - iPhone SDK: Info Button switching Views

Hope these help!

Nope - not just in IB. I'm not afraid of some extra code.

I've just never done it before, so I wasn't sure of the right way to go about switching from one view to another with different .xib files.

Thanks for the links IphoneSDK. I'll check them out now.
