Question

I need to achieve the following interface layout:

The obvious path would be a table view, but how would I do the top player and the bottom button set doing that? Embedding buttons in a table view row is a little unsightly I’d say, any suggestions?

Answer 1

It looks like a composed hierarchy of UIViews to me. The topmost element is a custom UIView subclass whose subviews, in turn, are comprised of the appropriate controls. Next down, is a UIButton, then your UITableView (does it scroll? It looks like perhaps not.) Then another row of buttons (trash, etc.)

So, to summarize, your base view is just a UIView that you compose with subviews, including what I assume is a grouped UITableView in the middle. It will be easiest to layout in IB.
