"Book" inside Tab Bar app

[macintosh0]

Hi, I am trying to create a "book" you can click trough with buttons (not done with the buttons, see the image below)

Here is a image to illustrate what I am trying to do:



I want the same tab bar at the bottom and the same navigation bar at the top on all the pages. How can I do that?

Do I need to create new classes for every page, or is it a smarter way to to this?

All help is appreciated

If the every page will be the same layout (i.e. just text with a page number label) I would create a Page.h/m singleton (subclass NSObject) to manage the objects. Have some way of loading the data into a "Page" object and added onto an array stack or I guess you could overwrite the same piece but might make for changing pages to ones youve been too slow. As you click through the buttons have the PageController load new data into the labels.

I'm not sure the technical way to phrase it but I'm sure you're smart enough to flesh out the idea a bit more.

Hi, thanks for the answer!

I am planning to have pictures and different text layout on every page.
How coud I create a new view for every page and still keep the tab bar at the bottom?
Or is it an simpler way to do it?

The tab bar will stay at the bottom of the screen regardless, it's the top-most level of an iPhone app. Everything else that you do will conform to using the tab-bar in that part of the app.
