iPhone SDK Tutorial: UITableView

In this iPhone SDK Tutorial from Gadgetmac we take a look at the UITableView. The UITableView is an extremely useful feature in the iPhone SDK and is used in many iPhone Applications.

In this tutorial I show you how to set up the TableView and add cell titles, disclosure indicator as well as add an action to each cell which in this tutorial is to go to another view.

I hope it helps you out and thanks for watching!

iPhone SDK Tutorial: Rotation

In this iPhone SDK Tutorial from Gadgetmac we learn how to add Rotation features to your iPhone or iPad Application. Many Apps use different orientations, some are just portrait or landscape however many do both. In this tutorial we show you how to use all 3.

The code is extremely simple and we use the shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation method.

I hope you find the tutorial useful and come back to Gadgetmac for more!

iPhone SDK Tutorial: UIAlertView

In this iPhone SDK Tutorial by Gadgetmac, we take a look at the UIAlertView. The UIAlertView is a pop-up that offers a title, message and a range of buttons. It can also be customised to offer images, videos and a different colour scheme. The UIAlertView is a very useful feature and is therefore used in a range of different Apps. 

The Code for the UIAlertView is very simple and because it is already built into the iPhone SDK, interface builder is not required. You can put the code in nearly any method depending on when you would like the UIAlertView to appear. In this tutorial I put it in the viewDidLoad as I wanted the UIAlertView to appear when the view loaded.
