Hi, Does anyone know how to add a toolbar button that launches either another screen or a revmob ad link? (Note: I've managed to create the button but not to get it to launch another screen or revmob ad link) Thanks

following...would like to know this too. i think there's some hard coding involved in eclipse and xcode.

Cant you add a button to the top navigation bar and link that to a screen you like??

Yeah that's what I'm doing now but I want to get rid of nav bar

Well where exactly should your button go then? Button Menu is no option?

On the toolbar!

Ok dont get it then. If you dont want the top nav bar to show, no clue where a toolbar should be.

On some screens like the new paint plugin there's a bottom bar with buttons called the toolbar.

Well, lets call it bottom bar then. If you can already display the button, then I would copy the code from the top nav bar buttons. Could work that way. If not, maybe write Mr. David a message, maybe he has time to help you out here. Good luck.

Could you use the button menu? The button can be transparent.

A UIToolbar on the bottom of the screen that you can add buttons too? You'll probably need to make a plug-in. Start with a blank screen and use Interface Builder to drop a UIToolbar on the view. Then you can add buttons to the toolbar and link up IBActions to the buttons, such as a method to 'load screen' or 'show revmob ad'. David's 'build a plug-in video' will show you how to link the button to a screen. Revmob should have some code to present an add modially. and keep in mind UIToolbar button items act a little differently than regular buttons. You don't have to worry about the 'touch up inside' stuff, just link the selector to the action.

@Atrain53 has the right idea. If you watch David's video it will tell you what to do.

@Atrain53 - yep there's already a toolbar and I know how to bring some actions but I've tried to load a revmob ad link or another screen and I can't work it out. So far I have: UIBarButtonItem* button_5 = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Free Games" style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:@selector() ]; button_5.style = UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered; [buttons addObject:button_5]; [button_5 release]; So in that 'action:@selector(x) ];' bit I think you're referring to, how do I load a screen or call a revmob ad link? @SusanMetoxen - I think plugin development is a bit beyond me but I will check out the video :)

you're close! inside that @selector() is where you reference the method you're calling when the button is clicked. like @selector(nameofmethodtocallwheniclickthisbutton:)]; this is mostly navigation based, but a good tutorial that explains it better than i can. tons of great tutorials out there. start small and think "hello world" before you try revmob actions. <a href="http://www.roseindia.net/tutorial/iphone/examples/iphone-NavigationAdToolBar.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.roseindia.net/tutorial/iphone/examples/iphone-NavigationAdToolBar.html</a> roseindia is a great site for learning ios not beyond you if you keep studying ;) Davids videos are AWESOME.

Thanks for the encouragement Atrain53. Yeah that's what I meant, what is the name of the method to a call a new screen or a revmob ad link because I tried inserting what I thought the methods were inside the @selector(nameofmethodtocallwheniclickthisbutton:)]; and didn't work. Anyway, if anyone knows let me know, and I'll check out those links :)
