I have a two view app. The root view has items that simply have a details view. In that details view is a simple section label (the item name) followed by a paragraph description.
What is the best way to display this static text? Is the best option UILabel?
Usually a UILabel works fine. Make sure you set the lineBreakMode to zero (0) so it will wrap.

I really like the Django Admin list view. I would like to show ~30 fields of one table in the list, however my issue is that horizontal scroll bar is not visible in the list view even though data overflows right border. How can I enable scrolling?
This seems to be an open bug in Django: https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/26066
If you are fine with the problems stated in that issue you could just add some css code:
#changelist-form .results {
/*overflow-x: auto;*/
}
But if you have an even better solution you could always overwrite the default templates quite easily. Just add a change_list.html and add your custom code there. See the original change_list.html for reference:
I found this post/method worked nicely for me. It applied a scroll bar to the table view only thus making it easy to navigate:

I'm working on an app that involves inputting the amount of cards players ended up with, and ordering them in a list. But if theres a 2 or 3 way tie, I want the user to be able to have a menu that lets them select the order of who had the highest card to lowest card, that way I can organize the list. How do I get the user to order them, like what kind of Alert/Popup lets me do that?
Edit: Basically I was asking how to make a picker that lets you arrange multiple items into a specific order but it seems the best thing to do is just to have a stack appear with buttons for each item, where you can click them and go from there to create your order. Hope this helps for anyone in a similar situation!
For that kind of user interaction where they are doing more than just tapping an option (in your case, you want them to order the various cards), I would create your own custom view rather than use an alert or action sheet or similar.
The way you implement will depend on how you want it to look. If you want the view to appear on top of your current view (a bit like an alert does) where it only takes up the space needed for the content) then you can embed in a zStack. If you want it to slide up from the bottom as almost the same size as the full screen then you can use a sheet (sometimes also referred to as a modal).
A little difficult to explain how they look visually - if you google image search “SwiftUI sheet” then you’ll see what I mean (if you aren’t already familiar with them)
ZStack
you put your current view in a ZStack then create a new view which goes in the ZStack after it but you wrap it in an if statement so it’s conditionally shown based on a Boolean being true.
E.g.
if gameTied { ChooseSortOrderView() }
then when your game finishes - if it’s a tie, you set your Boolean to true and up pops the new view.
You can pass in the tied cards, get the user to sort them via drag and drop, form, picker (whatever you want), submit it. Then set the bool back to false to make the view go away.
sheet
The other alternative instead of using a zstack would be sheet so you get a modal view appear. Similar approach but instead of the ZStack, you use a .sheet modifier.
I am looking to implement a custom Tab Bar in iOS where selected item is bigger size than the rest of the tabs and peeks out over the content similar to this screenshot.
Could someone point to a tutorial of how to accomplish this preferably in Swift?
I faced with this task several times. I found a lot of tutorials but I've never found one that gives the ability to create a center button that part of it is out of the tab bar.
At the end, I created an approach to have it done correctly. I implemented a simple example project with instructions how to do that. Please check my Custom Tabbar Center Button repo as an example.
One more benefit of it it's center button hides correctly with the tab bar when you use Hide Button Bar on Push property.
A UITabBar contains an array of UITabBarItems, which inherit from
UIBarItem. But unlike UIBarButtonItem that also inherits from
UIBarItem, there is no API to create a UITabBarItem with a customView.
So instead of trying to create a custom UITabBarItem, we’ll just
create a regular one and then put the custom UIButton on top of the
UITabBar
Not swift, but should be easily translated.

I’m experiencing unusual behavior on an iPad in iOS 6.1.2 when using a UITabBarController with a UISplitViewController (which has a UITableViewController for the master view controller). If I have multiple tabs, of which at least one tab contains a split view controller, and I am in landscape mode while viewing the tab that contains the split view controller, then I switch to another tab, then move to portrait mode, then press the tab that contains the split view controller, what happens next is that the master view controller (a table view controller) will display the table view over top of the detail view, when it is clearly not supposed to be there. This behavior happens only the first time the app is loaded, but is consistent behavior.
This scenario is easy to recreate by simply creating a project that is a split view application that uses an iPad device and Core Data (didn’t try it without using Core Data). After the project is created, use the storyboard and add a tab bar controller and make it the initial view controller, then add a view controller seque from the tab bar controller to the split view controller. After that, only one change is necessary in code which is to change the one line in application:didfinishLaunchingWithOptions in the AppDelegate.m:
Change the following template code:
UISplitViewController *splitViewController = (UISplitViewController *)self.window.rootViewController;
To:
UITabBarController *tbc = (UITabBarController *)self.window.rootViewController;
UISplitViewController *splitViewController = [tbc.viewControllers lastObject];
Perhaps I’m breaking some iOS rules, and trying to do something I’m not supposed to? All I want to do is to be able to tab between a few different split view controllers. Suggestions?
Take a look at this Git.

From what I understand the problem stems from the split view controller not updating it's orientation when it's not visible.
Here a subclassed tab view controller and split view controller are used which pass the message along.
Thanks to Dylan at http://objectiveseesharp.wordpress.com/ for this solution! I just found it.
I wanted to know if its possible to have a QMaemo5ListPickSelector but one which displays rectangular images as list items instead of text ? Is this possible ? If not, is there any other list-like object in Qt which can show images as items instead of text ?
You can access list view using QMaemo5ListPickSelector::view() and set item delegate for this view using QAbstractItemView::setItemDelegate(). In delegate item's visual presentation is pretty much unlimited. See Star Delegate example to get into the details of delegate's implementation
