Multiple UITableViews in a UIScrollView like Etsy app

Question

I've searched SO a read a bunch threads and haven't found any solid solutions to this. I'm trying to implement a Controller that displays a "full page" UITableView that I can swipe right/left to reveal a neighboring UITableView. Essentially I'd like to page through multiple UITableViews via horizontal swipe gestures as if they're nested in a UIScrollView.

The 2 apps that I see doing this successfully are the new Twitter app & the Etsy app. (12/13/13)

I've tried:

• UITableViews in a paging enabled UIScrollView but the vertical scrolling causes strangeness (Apple warns you that it will).
• I've also tried placing the UITableViews in a parent UIView and using a UIPanGestureRecognizer to move the UIView around. This seems promising then you don't get the horizontal "snap" behavior you get with a paging enabled UIScrollView
• I also tried PanelTableView but it didn't behave well in ios7 and allowed diagonal movement etc. It works "OK" on ios6 but the performance is a bit jerky...

I really don't care much about the "..." in the Twitter app's navigation bar or the scroll navigation in the Etsy app. Just focussed on being able to page through multiple UITableViews right now.

Anyone have any suggested strategies to pursue here?

Thanks

Answer 1

an easy way to this is by using the UIPageViewController. This way you can add unlimited number of pages, each contain his own UIViewController, or like you want, UITableViewController. best way to that.
