Hi guys, I'm creating a On-Screen keyboard for my application, and it supports skins as well.
Here's what I'm doing with the skins, I have a folder which contains some images and a xml file which maps the images to the keyboard, I want to be able to have the folder as a zip file like in Office 2007 (.docx) and iPhone firmwares (.ipsw), I know I can simply zip the folder and change the extension, what I need to know is how to read the files in the code.
Thanks in advance.
In an ASP.NET environment, what's the best way to play a mp3 file? Do I need to use a flash plugin (some users may not have flash). Also, this needs to work on a IPhone or an IPod.
With Apple making changes to section 3.3.1 on the iPhone dev agreement can one stillness libraries like boost in their apps?
I want to use Boost in my iPad app...
Hey, I have put together an iPhone web app and i'm currently reading and displaying data from a MySQL database. I have added a search bar to this page and was wondering what the best way would be to search the content on the page.
http://j.mp/c6lV8c
I have a website that is using the viewport META tag to tell mobile browsers how to display content ( ). Viewing the page in the Android browser looks correct (and iPhone, etc).
When I load the page into a WebView component in an android Application, the WebView ignores the "VIEWPORT" tag, and renders the page at "full" resolution, which is zoomed-in in this case.
(this is related to another question about implementation on iPhone)
I have a large image, size around 30000 (w) x 6000 (h) pixels. You may consider it's like a big map. I assume I need to crop it up into smaller tiles. Questions:
what is the tile strategy?
Requirements:
whole image (though cropped) can be scrolled up/down/left/right by swipes
zoom in (up to pixel-to-pixel) out (down to screen-fit-by-height) by the 2-finger operation
memory efficiency by lazy loading tiles
Thanks!
Hello,
I want to add a resize function to my app which works like the integrated copy feature on the iPhone. When the user opens the view he should see the image with the four blue dots which enable him to resize it. Is there an available example for this? Or has anyone the keywords for this functionality, which i can use for my further Search?
Thanks for all tips and hints
So in a bluetooth piconet, there is one master with upto seven slaves. The master sets the clock and frequency hop that the slaves sync with. But is there a way to determine which device is the master and which is the slave? I'm mainly interested in portable devices (Android,iPhone) but beggars can't be choosers, if anybody has info in this field I would be interested.
Thanks
Hi,
A little background on the question: I am developing a RedDwarf(http://reddwarfserver.org/) client on iphone, for the client/server communication I use idarkstar. I had to make minor modifications to make it work till now.
So here's the question, if the server is taking to long to respond or the network is very slow, how do I add a timeout functionality to make sure it doesn't keep waiting on the server forever?
appreciate any pointers.
Hi
I'm looking for a solution similar to the iPhone Facebook Connect (http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Facebook%5FConnect%5Ffor%5FiPhone) for the BlackBerry platform. Basically, I need my users to authenticate against Facebook from within a native BlackBerry application (so, not a Web based mobile application). Is there a library I could use, and if not, what will be the correct approach to achieve this?
Thanks in advance!
In my application, I ask the user to enter their cell and select their provider. I append the provider's email and create the message and fire via php.mail()
The problem is that no matter what the header info is, the message comes from '1010100001' on some phones (like AT&T and the iPhone). When testing on my Verizon phone, I get the proper email address as the sender.
Any idea how I can send a clearer message?
I have seen the iPhone equivalent of this question here and I'm wondering...
is there an equivalent for bringSubviewToFront: for OS X development? I need something to send an NSImageView "to front".
if you look at this ipad application ( http://www.blackboard.com/Mobile/Mobile-Learn.aspx ), there is a slide tab named, "Dashboard." When you click on it, a new view slides out side ways. I'm aware that there is a split view that is new in iphone 3.2, but, I could not find anything on a slide tab or a side tab as implemented in this ipad application. How is this done?
Hi I am writing a web app (mainly iphone targeted) where the user has to enter their dob as part of the log in, I need this to be <input type = 'password'however I also want to enable the numeric section of the keyboard. I would usually change the type attr to 'number' however as this needs to be hidden I wondered if there was another way to activate the numeric pad
Cheers!
(ps I do not want to use any frameworks such as jquery on this)
I'm looking for some personal cloud storage options. My biggest concern about moving to a hosted storage solution is the long-term viability of the provider. Has anyone used a cloud service that you're crazy about? I'm a Mac user, so I need to have something that will work on the Mac OS and ideally the iPhone as well.
I'm working on a mobile phone web app and I have several text fields that could benefit from iPhone's will adjust the keyboard for the user but I'm worried about breaking backwards compatability. What I'm hoping is that browsers/phone that support this can assist the user and other browser will fall back to a standard text field? Is this an acceptable practice? Does it even work?

I'm just getting started with Mac and iPhone development, and naturally my first step is to change the color theme. I've found a theme I like here, but I can't find the folder they reference in my ~/Library/Application Support/ folder. How can I install these files?
Thanks!
Can anyone recommend a public code repository? A few friends and I are thinking of starting a few projects for iPhone, web, Android, etc., and it would be nice to have a public (internet) code repository to use that would work well on any platform (Mac, PC, Linux). Any type of repository is fine (SVN, CVS, Git, etc.).
A few ideas are Sourceforge or Google Code. Any recommendations? Thanks

for that purpose I'm looking for a web hosting service which inclues the following specs:
latest PHP

It is important that the web hosting provider will be highly reliable.
