Question

I would like to create an utility application that has a navigation based flipside, or “info”, view. What would the most efficient way to accomplish this be? I think that i ‘simply’ need to make a root view controller for the flipside view…but i really only understand that conceptually…not so much how to go about it or, at least, i am not confident that i know how to go about it.

I apologize for the slightly “make my app” nature of this question i have books and books and books…but it shakes out so much differently when i want to make my own project.

Answer 1

You can use a view controller for the flipside view, or you could create / load a view in your app delegate. In the latter case, you can set up the delegate to respond to the info button press, and then set up a transition to the new view which will have a button (which the app delegate also responds to) that transitions back to the previous view.

There is a basic tutorial I found for this here:

It should be able to at least get you started.
