Answer 2

There are 3 main controllers that can switch views for you:

• UINavigationController
  • Here you push and pop views in a chain.
  • There will be a navigation bar on top which lets you navigate back to where you came from.
• UITabbarController
  • Here all the views will be represented by tabs at the bottom of the screen.
  • You can switch back and forward between them by clicking them in the tabbar.
• UIViewController
  • There is a method in UIViewController wich lets you "present" other viewcontrollers. It's called presentModalViewController:animated:
  • You will have to do your own navigation back to the parent by using dismissViewControllerAnimated:

You can also do your own switching with variations of addSubView: or view.hidden or similar, but I would recommend those 3 to begin with.
