Architecting iPhone Views - seeking help on a specific issue + general advice
- by Ev
Hi there,
I am a web developer (rails, python) that is new to iPhone development. I've done some desktop development in the past within the MS environment (C#).
I'm trying to build a really simple iPhone application and I am confused by the way that views work in general. If someone can provide advice for my particular problem, along with some resources where I can learn how to architect iPhone views in the future, that would be awesome. I feel like a lot of the Apple documentation that I've come across is too specific - I am lacking a fundamental understanding of how views work on the iPhone.
My particular problem looks like this:
I need one view that displays some downloaded text content. This is the view that shows when the app loads, and it is pretty straightforward.
Then I need a settings area (I've already decided I don't want to use the iPhone settings area). The settings area main page will have some text fields on it. It will also have a 2-row grouped table. Each cell in that table will take you to another view which also has a grouped table used for multi-select. I suspect that I can reuse the same view for these two final "detailed setting" views.
In summary:
home page
settings main page
detailed setting 1
detailed setting 2
Any help and advice appreciated.
