Duplicating Utility Application Template Tutorial

[jamesbrannan]

Duplicates the Utility Application template, but does so using a navigation controller. The only problem is notice the right button slides when rotating. If anyone knows how to fix/change that, please let me know. Pretty beginner, though it does show using code to pop a view controller. To see the high definition version, go to vimeo and become a free member.

I thank your wife for not vacuuming, and your baby for not crying this time.

Here's my version of the utility app tutorial complete with sound, code, and the xcode project!

Here is the video:

Here is the code in case it was too hard to read in the video:

.h file:

@interface MainViewController : UIViewController {
	IBOutlet UIView *secondaryView;
}
- (IBAction)toggleView:(id)sender; //Action for toggle view
- (IBAction)returnView:(id)sender;


@end

.m file:

//Flips to back when toggle button is pressed
- (IBAction)toggleView:(id)sender {
	[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:nil];
	[UIView setAnimationDuration:1.0];
	[UIView setAnimationTransition:UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromRight
						   forView:[self view]
							 cache:YES];
	[[self view] addSubview:secondaryView];
	[UIView commitAnimations];
}

//Flips to front when "Done" is pressed
- (IBAction)returnView:(id)sender {
	[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:nil];
	[UIView setAnimationDuration:1.0];
	[UIView setAnimationTransition:UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromLeft
						   forView:[self view]
							 cache:YES];
	[secondaryView removeFromSuperview];
	[UIView commitAnimations];
}

Here is the finished project:

You are making things harder then they have to be. Check out the iphone 3.0SDK's Utility project's code. Also, the video above illustrates the easier way to do it. I will have the project's code available online soon. The narrative, though, is part of my upcoming book. Again, the technique my original video shows, and your tutorial shows, works, but isn't required

Thanks, I realise it may have been superceded, but a well made, short and concise tutorial.
