How to build an iOS like settings module?

Question

I am really new to iPhone development. Currentlly I am setting up an option module for my application. The user should be able to edit some preferences.

My first approach was to have some text fields. But I really like how iOS handles editing preferences. There is some kind of label. Clicking on that label opens another view with a field for editing. I hope you understand what I mean.

How does iOS achieve this? Is that table view?

I mean this kind of design

As seen in your screenshot (bottom text says it), try InAppSettingsKit. ;) — sudo rm -rf, Mar 17 '11 at 19:07

InAppSettingsKit as already recommended by @hennes is used for extending functionality that is already available.

If you add a Settings.bundle to your app then if it is correctly installed it will automatically show up in the Settings.app provided by Apple.

hm what I actually mean is to have this kind of settings straight in my app and not in the iPhone settings – DarkLeafyGreen Mar 17 '11 at 13:37
That's what InAppSettingsKit does. It provides an interface in your app to the global settings setup using Settings.bundle. – gnuchu Mar 17 '11 at 13:53

Don't think any of this is relevant anymore since InAppSettingsKit doesn't look to have updated for iOS7. – gnuchu Jun 30 '14 at 10:54

As I said almost a year ago, this is no longer relevant. – gnuchu Apr 30 '15 at 07:34

IF you want it just in your app, just use a tableView set to Group style. There are a lot of tutorials on TableViews

There is another option, you can use BaseKit (I'm the author)
