iOS Help with over-laying page

[uaecasher]

Hello,

I was wondering how can I display a page about the current display view, I saw this in photobucket app when you want to see the link for image.

not really sure what this feature is called (pop up maybe?)

Thanks

Nothing from the iPhone Application Programming Guide or iPhone Human Interface Guidelines sounds similar?

Just read them both and couldn't find what I needed, just took screenshot of an example, the text is over-laying the image.

I know that it's hard to help me when I don't know what's the name of what I need but please do 🙂

Thank you.

There are different ways that that screen could be put together but here's one way it could be done.

The image is displayed with a UIImageView.

The top three lines of text are displayed with three UILabels. Each label has its font, text color, and text set. Each of the labels also has its background color set to [UIColor clearColor]. Setting the background color to this color makes the labels transparent, except where the text is. The textColor was probably set to [UIColor whiteColor];

The stuff below those three lines is done in a similar fashion.
