Mornin’ all.
I’ve been over on the Apple Forums with this question. One chap has been GREAT trying to help, but I’ve run out of ideas.
I have a medium complexity data app in the works. The app has 3 distinct categories of data. Thinks along the lines of Asset Management, with the ability to capture Assets, Asset utilization (hours etc), and Asset configuration.
Each of those is a master detail data set on it’s own. So my thought was to start with a Tab Bar Controller, with one tab for each. Then embed a Split View Controller for each of the data categories. I also have 2 more scenes that need individual tabs as well.
Then I find out that the SVC has to be the root of the app. So I guess one split view controller only?
My next thought was just to do the tab bar and cobble together a UI using table views for the asset lists, and standard details screens. But on the I Pad, I was hoping for some side by side UI, like the split view provides.
I’ve started leaning toward putting table views and details side by side and then just doing some creative hide/show based on size classes and button presses.
I’ve viewed most if not all of the course work videos that look like they might apply. But ya’ll know the content better.
I could do this all in my sleep in C# MVC or Silverlight, or a couple of other development tools, but IOS is kicking my behind.
I could sure use some help with:
- design ideas
- materials here that apply to the questions.
Thanks,
Steve
