iOS arrays? subview or submenu?

[tacotester1]

I can make a button make an image appear and disappear in a uiimage view.
but
i would like to make multiple images appear from a submenu.

the idea is
i want to make a pop up menu from the bottom of view controller that holds diff buttons when u press a button a corresponding image appears in the main view controller.
the images are like premade polaroids of fashiony dresses and shoes that u can put on ur "inspiration board"


i have been looking for the answer and it seems to be making an image array. possibly mutable so i can add more later.
is this correct?
i can't find any really good information on how to do the pop up that will interact with the main view controller.

any help will be greatly appreciated thanks !



*also i read about child views a little is this what the correct term would be for what im looking for?

If you're talking about an iPad app, you should use a UIPopover. Otherwise, you should open up a new UIView. However you open it, you should present it using a UICollectionView.

so i checked out collection view
it looks cool for having a scroll view collection
but i can figure how to make it a sub menu pop up type menu.

UIPopoverController is "for use exclusively on iPad devices". You should probably look at presenting a modal view. More here: Presenting View Controllers from Other View Controllers

I went with a uiscrollview and was able to make it hide and show just fine!
