This question is a little hard to explain so I'll do my best to explain. I'm creating an alarm type app where a user chooses a location and has two options they can decide if they want on or not. Each of these options has a set of sub-options they will also need to choose if they want the main option to be on.

e.g. Sound can either be on or off and has these sub options

  • Song or Tone (i.e. song or ringtone) (Choose one)
  • Volume

I'm having trouble deciding how to present these options and sub options as intuitively as possible. Normally on a web application I would have these in a form like fashion and have pop-up windows or drop-down menus for each sub-option but unfortunately this is a mobile app so neither of those would work in this situation. My questions are:

  • How can I present a simple and intuitive way for the user to toggle these options and have the sub-options be present?
  • Should I bring the user to a different screen or slide up screen (iPhone) for each sub-option or some how incorporate them all into the same screen?

Intuitive often means well known and usual.

It seems like in your case you can place all the suboptions on a single screen and use a dedicated screen for choosing a song from a library with help of a standard settings UI controls and behavior:
