I am currently developing a web browser. I would like to implement tabs but am unsure where to start. If someone could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.
There's nothing standard that would really work. You'll have to make your own using UIButtons for tabs, but you'll have to think about the scenario when too many tabs are open to fit all the buttons, do you want it to scroll or what. Perhaps you should start with a simpler project.
well hopefully i can find something to teach me about that. This project is a dual view web browser which version 1.0 is currently waiting for review. I put in a feature for recently visited web sites as a compensation for not having tabs. so tabs would be the logical next step. So i guess i need to go learn about creating custom ui elements.
What could work is a narrow scrollview that loads UIbuttons (one after the next, based on button width) that can be scrolled around. I think that's the simplest solution. It wont hurt to try. If you want to keep your code clean of experimentation, start a separate project and just make the tab bar in it, as a placeholder have the buttons display an alertview when tapped. When it's done, merge it into your main project and instead of showing an alertview show the corresponding webview for that button.
