ios app second screen

I am a beginner to the iOS app development and working on a sample app that consists of just two "screens" - the first screen authenticates the user against user id and password saved in a SQLite database table and the second screen displays list of users in the database if user authentication is successful. If authentication fails I would just like an alert displaying appropriate message to the user.

I somehow can not connect how to "go to the second screen" if user authentication is successful. How can I tell the application that now that the user is authenticated it is time to go to the second screen and display the list of users?

I apologize if the terminology I use is not standard iOS app development terminology but I am new and would like to fill the gaps in my understanding. Please feel free to direct me to any links/tutorials/documentation.

Thank you.

You don't appear to have sufficient understanding of iOS basics for any of our answers to be helpful. A word of advice: don't waste your time wrestling with code before you have a bit more of a foundation; you will just become frustrated.

Take a few hours and review some of the videos in Paul Haggarty's Standford iOS course.

Once you understand some of the building blocks and concepts of the API, things will move along much more quickly.

Navigation is a fundamental and essential part of iOS programming and UX design. Traditionally, views are managed by ViewControllers, which in turn may be managed by NavigationControllers in stacks. To naivgate between and away from controllers, we define two new verbs: Push and Pop. To go to a new view, one pushes it onto the navigation stack. To transition away from a view, one pops it off the stack. And so, with these two paradigms, we can define simple transitions which are managed by the UINavigationController object. Have a look at the navigation guide in the docs before you proceed any further.

Are you developing against iOS with Storyboards?

If you start with the boilerplate "Master/Detail" template in Xcode for iOS 5 with Storyboards, you will get some sample code for a master view (uses a UITableView), detail view (uses a UIView with a label in it), and a segue between the two view controllers to go from master to detail, along with a "Back" navigation button that pops the detail view off and back to the master view.

The iPad boilerplate for that type of project is slightly different in the it uses a UISplitViewController to show both master and detail at the same time and doesn't use a segue between the two.

You could take a look at that boilerplate code, modify it, and go from there.
