className method?

- by fuzzygoat

I have just been watching the Stanford iPhone lecture online from Jan 2010 and I noticed that the guy from Apple keeps referring to getting an objects class name using "className" e.g. NSArray *myArray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"ONE", @"TWO", nil]; NSLog(@"I am an %@ and have %d items", [myArray className], [myArray count]); However, I can't get this to work, the closest I can come up with it to use class, is className wrong, did it get removed, just curious? NSArray *myArray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"ONE", @"TWO", nil]; NSLog(@"I am an %@ and have %d items", [myArray class], [myArray count]); Gary

Why are controls (null) in awakeFromNib?

- by fuzzygoat

This is a follow on from another question regarding why I could not set UIControls in awakeFromNib. The answer to that is that as you can see below the controls are nil in the awakeFromNib, although they are initialised to the correct objects by the time we get to viewDidLoad. I setup the view the same as I always do, should I be doing something different to access them here, the xib(nib) was designed and saved with the current version of Image Builder. CODE: @interface iPhone_TEST_AwakeFromNibViewController : UIViewController { UILabel *myLabel; UIImageView *myView; } @property(nonatomic, retain)IBOutlet UILabel *myLabel; @property(nonatomic, retain)IBOutlet UIImageView *myView; @end . @synthesize myLabel; @synthesize myView; -(void)awakeFromNib { NSLog(@"awakeFromNib ..."); NSLog(@"myLabel: %@", [myLabel class]); NSLog(@"myView : %@", [myView class]); //[myLabel setText:@"AWAKE"]; [super awakeFromNib]; } -(void)viewDidLoad { NSLog(@"viewDidLoad ..."); NSLog(@"myLabel: %@", [myLabel class]); NSLog(@"myView : %@", [myView class]); //[myLabel setText:@"VIEW"]; [super viewDidLoad]; } OUTPUT: awakeFromNib ... myLabel: (null) myView : (null) viewDidLoad ... myLabel: UILabel myLabel: UIImageView Much appreciated ... gary

Value from UISlider method?

- by fuzzygoat

Can anyone point me in the right direction regarding sliders, the version below was my first attempt (the range is 0.0 - 100.0) The results I get are not right. // Version 1.0 -(IBAction)sliderMoved:(id)sender { NSLog(@"SliderValue ... %d",(int)[sender value]); } // OUTPUT: // [1845:207] SliderMoved ... -1.991753 // [1845:207] SliderMoved ... 0.000000 // [1845:207] SliderMoved ... 0.000000 // [1845:207] SliderMoved ... 32768.000435 With the version below I get the values I expect, what am I missing in version_001? // Version 2.0 -(IBAction)sliderMoved:(UISlider *)sender { NSLog(@"SliderValue ... %d",(int)[sender value]); } // OUTPUT: // [1914:207] SliderMoved ... 1 // [1914:207] SliderMoved ... 2 // [1914:207] SliderMoved ... 3 // [1914:207] SliderMoved ... 4 cheers Gary

initWithCoder not working as expected?

- by fuzzygoat

Does this seem right, the dataFilePath is on disk and contains the right data, but the MSMutable array does not contain any objects after the initWithCoder? I am probably just missing something, but I wanted to quickly check here before moving on. -(id)initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)decoder { self = [super init]; if(self) { [self setReactorCore:[decoder decodeObjectForKey:@"CORE"]]; } return self; } . -(id)init { self = [super init]; if(self) { if([[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:[self dataFilePath]]) { NSMutableData *data = [[NSMutableData alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:[self dataFilePath]]; NSKeyedUnarchiver *unArchiver = [[NSKeyedUnarchiver alloc] initForReadingWithData:data]; NSMutableArray *newCore = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCoder:unArchiver]; [self setReactorCore:newCore]; [newCore release]; [data release]; [unArchiver release]; } else { NSMutableArray *newCore = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init]; [self setReactorCore:newCore]; [newCore release]; } } return self; } gary

@property, ok in this situation?

- by fuzzygoat

I am still finding my feet with objective-c and was wondering if its acceptable to use @property on the two objects below. #import <UIKit/UIKit.h> #import <MapKit/MapKit.h> @interface MapViewController : UIViewController <MKMapViewDelegate, CLLocationManagerDelegate> { CLLocationManager *locationManager; IBOutlet MKMapView *googleMapView; } @property(nonatomic, retain) CLLocationManager *locationManager; @property(nonatomic, retain) MKMapView *googleMapView; @end One of my reasons for using them is so that I can use the setters in my viewDidUnload, I seem to be using @property a lot and was just wondering if the use in this situation is acceptable? -(void)viewDidUnload { [self setLocationManager:nil]; [self setGoogleMapView:nil]; [super viewDidUnload]; } much appreciated Gary

Setting UITabBarItem title from UINavigationController?

- by fuzzygoat

I have setup a UITabBarController with two tabs, one is a simple UIViewController and the other is a UINavigationController using second UIViewController as its rootController to set up a UITableView. My question is with regard to naming the tabs (i.e. UITabBarItem) For the first tab (simple UIViewController) I have added the following (see below) to the controllers -init method. - (id)init { self = [super init]; if(self) { UITabBarItem *tabBarItem = [self tabBarItem]; [tabBarItem setTitle:@"ONE"]; } return self; } For the other tab I have added (see below) to the second controllers init (rootController). - (id)init { self = [super init]; if(self) { UITabBarItem *tabBarItem = [[self navigationController] tabBarItem]; [tabBarItem setTitle:@"TWO"]; } return self; } Am I setting the second tabBarItem title in the right place as currently it is not showing? EDIT: I can correctly set the UITabBarItem from within the AppDelegate when I first create the controllers, ready for adding to the UITabBarController. But I really wanted to do this in the individual controller -init methods for neatness. // UITabBarController UITabBarController *tempRoot = [[UITabBarController alloc] init]; [self setRootController:tempRoot]; [tempRoot release]; NSMutableArray *tabBarControllers = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init]; // UIViewController ONE MapController *mapController = [[MapController alloc] init]; [tabBarControllers addObject:mapController]; [mapController release]; // UITableView TWO TableController *rootTableController = [[TableController alloc] init]; UINavigationController *tempNavController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:rootTableController]; [rootTableController release]; [tabBarControllers addObject:tempNavController]; [tempNavController release]; [rootController setViewControllers:tabBarControllers]; [tabBarControllers release]; [window addSubview:[rootController view]]; [window makeKeyAndVisible];

[super init] and loading NIB / XIB files?

- by fuzzygoat

I am a little curious, I have a view controller class and an NIB/XIB (both are named "MapViewController") If I do the following it loads the NIB with the matching name. -(id)init { self = [super initWithNibName:@"MapViewController" bundle:nil]; if(self) { do things ... } return self; } if on the other hand I just specify [super init] does Xcode just look for a NIB that matches the name of the controller, is that how this is working? -(id)init { self = [super init]; if(self) { do things ... } return self; } cheers Gary.

Save from viewController?

- by fuzzygoat

I have a very small bit of data that I would like to archive from my apps view. My question is, its far easier to save this data from the viewController, but should I really be pushing it back into my model and saving it there? BTW: I also need to do a quick load of this data when the app starts up.

Using [self method] or @selector(method)?

- by fuzzygoat

Can anyone enlighten me as to the differences between the two statements below. [self playButtonSound]; AND: [self performSelector:@selector(playButtonSound)]; I am just asking as I had some old code that used @selector, now with a little more knowledge I can't think why I did not use [self playButtonSound] instead, they both seem to do the same as written here. gary

Setting up an independent delegate?

- by fuzzygoat

Its common for the dataSource and delegate to be the same object, its also common for this object to be the viewController. In all the info/tutorials that I have seen online delegates are always setup as above. If I wanted to create my own class instead can anyone give me any pointers as to how I might do that. Where does that object get instantiated, how do you connect the dataSource and delegate items etc. I am using UITableView to test this.

I have two screens on my app that I want to present to users, the first is the main screen and the second is an about screen, brief instructions / credits. Currently I have this setup as a UITabBarController with two buttons and two views. Is this approach acceptable?
