This code works to rotate: CGAffineTransform transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(radians(lastAngle++)); anImage.transform = transform; and this code works to move my UIImageView CGRect frame = [anImage frame]; frame.origin.x+=1; frame.origin.y+=1; [anImage setFrame:frame]; but when I combine them, the image str...

I would like it to launch QuickTime. - (void)loadView { NSURL *movieURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://movies.apple.com/media/us/mac/getamac/2009/apple-mvp-biohazard_suit-us-20090419_480x272.mov"]; if ...
In my app, I'm designing a custom picker that allows the user to choose an item by scrolling horizontally and touching it. I need the buttons inside that view to loop around infinitely as the user scrolls in a certain direction. What would be the best way to tackle this feature while maintaining the inertial scrolling of UIScrollView whe...
I have a UITableViewController inside a navigationController inside a tabBarController; so far, so good. However, when the user clicks on a button on the navigation bar (at the top), I want to display a toolbar at the bottom of the screen with various actions that can be performed on the table. When I define an NSArray *toolbarItems and ...
I'm having some problems with storing variables from my touch events. The warning I get when I run this is that coord and icoord are unused, but I used them in the viewDidLoad implementation, is there a reason why this does not work? Any suggestions? #import "iGameViewController.h" @implementation iGameViewController @synthesize pla...
In a custom UIViewController, if I have a member UINavigationController that I initialize with self as the root view, like this: navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:self]; then presenting a modal dialog does not hide the tab bar at the bottom of the screen. The result is that if the user switches...

So, I've searched quite a bit for this and can't seem to find a solution. This code works: CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(); [UIView beginAnimations:nil context:context]; [UIView setAnimationDuration:5]; [c setCenter:CGPointMake(200, 200)]; [UIView commitAnimations]; This code doesn't: CGContextRef context = UIGr...
Everything about this UIButton renders great except the text that's supposed to be on it. NSLog demonstrates that the text is in the right place. What gives? UIButton *newTagButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect]; [newTagButton addTarget:self action:@selector(showNewTagField) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpIns...
I have the need for some time based effects in the iPad app I am building. The UIView class animation capability beginAnimations/commitAnimations is exactly the sort of thing I am looking for but it is restricted to specific properties of UIView deemed animatable. Ideally, I am looking for a solution that lets me drive a time-based func...

I know Apple is not the only ressource out there, and many people create great videos in conferences and presentations. If someone knows a great video or podcast on the topics KVC or KVO, please let me know. I would be glad about it! Edit: Changed Title so it's more clear this is indeed programming related. KVO / KVC / MVC != KFC ...
To gain a better understanding, I think it would be great to watch every video available on the net. For me, training videos became sort of entertaining. I love them! And at the same time, it's the most productive form of "watching movies". Unfortunately, I tend to find videos from conferences or podcasts only by accident, so maybe you ...
I haven't seen any other questions quite like this on here, but I'm hoping someone has some insight. I'm just starting to learn Core Data. Basically, I have two methods and I want to choose which one to call with an if/else statement based on whether or not the "Contacts" table contains any records. Is there a way using core data to che...
A little background: My app is designed as a web form in a UITableView. It is similar in format to the iPhone's Settings > Mail,Contacts,Calendars > "Account Name" > Account Info. A few differences: 1) I have a big text box on the bottom where you can put a "message body". 2) I have a big red button underneath the text box, similar to...

My NIB looks like this: File's Owner - Identity is set to LBRootViewController First Responder LBTableViewController - Identity is set to LBTableViewController,...
I have malloc'd a whole mess of data in an NSOperation instance. I have a pointer: data = malloc(humungous_amounts_of_god_knows_what); uint8_t* data; How do I package this up as an NSData instance and return it to the main thread? I am assuming that after conversion to an NSData instance I can simply call: free(data); Yes? Also, b...
I want to design an app that launches other sub-apps. Main View will contain 4 buttons. Clicking on each button respectively will launch the other sub-apps. Each sub-app will have a UITabBarController which has its own different views. At any point I want the user to be able to go back to the Main View from any of the sub-apps. I am n...
Hi all, I have RGB values that I need to convert into CMYK values. I'm using the iPhone SDK to try and do this. I have tried a couple of things, but cannot either get the values to be anything other than 0 or 1, or the K element is completely wrong (showing up as a negative number). Any help would be a life saver! Thanks in advance! ...
