Question

I am designing an iPhone application with a home page. This page has multiple buttons (6) that go to different things.

2 buttons are a simple view that just have some information and go back to the home screen. The next button opens up an email and I believe that will just be one view, so not a whole lot different than the other two.

Here is where it gets complicated. One button will take a picture, and another will select one from the library. Once that is done it will edit it and create an object that I will create. That object will be stored in an array, which will be opened by the last button one the home page and a UITableViewController will control that.

My first question is should I use a navigation based view controller or just a view controller that I can create myself? Or should I use something that I don’t even know about?

Please Help!!! And if you help a sincere thank you!

EDIT:

Well i tried it my own way first and the only issue i’m having is this code

- (void) displayView:(int)intNewView { 
    NSLog(@"%i", intNewView);
    [home.view removeFromSuperview];
    Instructions *i = [[Instructions alloc]init];
    instructions = i; 
    [self.view insertSubview:instructions.view atIndex:0]; 
}

It is in my SwitchClass, which controls the Main Window’s view. I know it is working there because when it first runs the switch class directs it to the home screen. I know the method is being called because the console is displaying the NSLog thing, but it just won’t switch.

Aside from the fact that you have 6 buttons, I would try and use a UITabBarController for what you are trying to do; it would seem more natural to me (but you should find a way to reduce you 6 button to 5, otherwise they will not be displayed all at once).

Otherwise, a UINavigationController seems fine to me. For each button you push a new controller to deal with that button functionality, then you pop back. It should work easily.

EDIT:

have you tried with?

[self.view addSubview:instructions.view];
