Hey everyone,
I'm working on this idea for an app, and now that I have the SDK, I'm jumping right in.
Something that confuzzles me, though: I'm not sure which template to use for what I'm trying to do. The whole Navigation Bar vs. Toolbar vs. Tab Bar thing is kinda hindering my progress.
What I want is much like the Facebook app kind of layout with a Tab Bar (that has five buttons) at the bottom and a toolbar at the top with different buttons for every tab. Also, if possible, I'd like to have a sort of title/loading screen too. I was going with title screen, but I'm not sure which dimensions I would use for the picture (since the Tab Bar and Toolbar would take up parts of the screen, whereas with a loading screen they wouldn't).
One more question: I don't understand how the Tab Bar icons, the actual pictures, are supposed to be formatted. Again, going with the Facebook app as an example, should I make the .png's a certain size/color? Are there standard icons? Same question for the Toolbar icons.
Thank you to anyone willing to help me out a bit.
