Implementing navigation in iOS applications

I've built an Xcode project which is an iPad and iPhone app that simply plays 4 different videos (.m4v files). I have an app icon and when the users touches it, the app opens an image (.png) with 4 buttons. If the user touches a button, the linked video is opened. Everything runs great.

Now I'd like to have a 5th button that, when activated by the user, brings the user to a new page that loads another image (png.). In addition I would have back button to return to the main page.

I can't figure it out. I searched various of my question but I don't think I'm asking it correctly.

As Peter suggested, UINavigationController or modal controllers could be valid solution for your problem.

The implementation for a similar application logic could be done by means of storyboard (iOS 5) or manually (both through XIB and/or code).

In addition, starting from iOS 5, it's possible to implement your custom content controller (e.g. controllers like UINavigationController or UITabBarController). In this way you could implement your own custom navigation logic. For further info see UIViewController class reference.

Hope it helps.

You should search for UINavigationControllers or Presenting Modal View Controllers. There are hundreds of tutorials on the web for this.

Also check the Master-Detail or Utility app templates in Xcode - they both have what you are looking for.
