Standard Buttons for Use in Table Rows and Other UI Elements
Standard Buttons for Use in Table Rows and Other UI Elements
iOS provides the buttons described in Table 7-5 for use in table rows and other elements.
| Button | Name | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
 | ContactAdd | Display a people picker to add a contact to an item. |
 | DetailDisclosure | Display a new view that contains details about the current item. |
 | Info | Flip to the back of the view to display configuration options or more information. Note that the Info button is also available as a light-colored “i” in a dark circle. |
Detail Disclosure Button
Detail Disclosure button is used to reveal extra details or additional functionality to an item. The additional details/functionality are revealed in a separate view.
Page Curl Button
Note: do not use the page curl button to flip the screen; if flipping the screen is a necessity, use the Info button instead.
If you are utilizing the page curl button, ensure that some of the curled-page is still visible onscreen to emphasis the temporary nature of the action of flipping the screen. If the upper page disappears, the page curl becomes too much like a full-screen transition, and users lose their context.
The system-provided page curl button can be used in a toolbar.
Note: the page curl button is not available for use in a navigation bar.
The page curl button allows you to give users a way to curl up the bottom corner of a screen to see information underneath. For example, Maps allows people to lift the lower-right corner of a map view to access buttons that manipulate the map.
