The best way to create an "instruction view" for my app?

Im planning on adding a instructions view to 开发者_运维知识库my app. Whats the best way to do it? Load a PDF into a webview or..? Please suggest anything I might find helpful. I also want it to look good for the user, not to plain.

You might want to consider using a UIWebView to load content that resides on your web server. The downside is that the user needs network connectivity to see the instructions and you need to know your way around at least some web development. However, you'll be able to use HTML+CSS+Javascript to create interesting content and you'll be able to change/update/correct that content without going through the hassle of releasing the app again.

I've seen a few apps put screenshots into a scrollview with a paging control. I really like that design, and there are plenty of tutorials online that explain how to do this.

You can implement instruction view different ways:

1) Just put textview and make scroll. (very simple)

2) Design the HTML instruction, and load it to the webview. (medium in look vise)

3) Create attractive design for instruction pages and implement scroll view with pages. (very attractive)

Please review above point and let me know in case of query.

Thanks.

I would use a info button (the lowercase "i" button, can be accessed by inserting "Round Rect Button" and changing type to one of the "Info" buttons or in code you could init a button with type: "UIButtonTypeInfoDark" or "UIButtonTypeInfoLight") on your main or first view controller. Inside that view you could put an UITextView with editing OFF and that would contain all your instructions that the user could scroll through and get to quickly, easily, and intuitively
