Lock aspect using meta tag for iOS web app

I'm wondering if it's possible to lock the aspect ratio using a meta tag, or by any means at all? I'm making a web app where the target platform is the iPad, but it only really makes sense if it is always in landscape orientation, and i was hoping to ensure it was always presented that way regardless of the device orientation. ...

UIScrollView, scroll when UIResponder become first responder

If you have some UITextField into a UIScrollView, each time an UITextField becomes the first responder, UIScrollView automatically scrolls to show the field if it is under the keyboard. Why can't do this when the responder is another responder that can be first responders instead of an UITextField? Have I to subclass each UIResponder th...

UIActionSheet Controller crashed on iPad and Works Fine on iPhone

I've been trying to work a UIActionSheet into my App. The idea is, if you exited the app in a certain state, it would popup on launch and ask you if you'd like to continue or reset. Here's the code: NSUserDefaults *prefs = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]; continueYesNo = [prefs boolForKey:@"keyContinueMeeting"]; if (continueYes...

Invalid Entitlements iOS SDK 4.1

Ever since upgrading to the 4.1 SDK my Entitlements are no longer valid when users try to install the Ad-Hoc builds. We originally had this issue a long time ago and and solved it by adding to the project an Entitlements.plist file with a get-task-allow = false key. I don't think I've changed anything in the project configuration excep...

iOS: Current touch location in a document opened in UIWebView or QuickLook

Hi there, I would like to write an iOS application that uses the native support to viewing multiple file types (e.g. HTML, PDF, Pages, Word) in a high level control such as UIWebView or Quicklook. Nothing too hard here. However I would then like to support selection of text, adding custom Context Menus to a selection and, at a minimum,...

JS/overflow:hidden performance issues in Safari on iPad/iOS

I am working on a Google Maps-like scrolling/panning system. The system is supposed to be a lot simpler than the "original" (no zooming) and as such is built in a quite straight forward fashion: There is a containing div representing the viewport with overflow set to hidden and a fixed size This div contains another div that's being pa...

I'd like to break every 39 characters, which is the most that fits on a line at the font size that I'm using. I'd like to take the number of characters in a string and divide it by the number of charac...

Tracking down iOS memory spikes

I have an iOS 3.2 program running on the iPad that is document-centric. Sometimes, when closing a document, there is a memory spike in Instruments. I'm pretty sure I'm not leaking memory, since the allocations graph stays pretty steady between 5mb and 10mb, except when closing, where it spikes up by about 5mb or so (and the leaks tool is...

Is there an iPhone/iPad library for editing fields on a table view controller?

I generally do the following, but I'm hoping for a library that handles this sort of editing. I couldn't find much using Google. - (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath { // [..snip..] if (indexPath.row == 0) { textViewOne = [cell addSubview:[UIText...

mootools draggable on iphone / ipad

Hey all, I mostly use jQuery, but am working on a site that is built on mootools. I'm using "makeDraggable", which works fine on browsers, but falls apart on iPhone / iPad.

How to detect keyboard events on hardware keyboard on iPhone (iOS)

I have an app with a login page that has three fields for three different random characters. When the user leaves the last field, the soft keyboard disappears and the user can touch a "login" button on screen. When there is a hardware keyboard (bluetooth or physical) attached, I'd like to be able to hit "enter" on it. However because th...

Sample rate of UI Touch Events.

Hi, I'd like to know how fast iOS delivers touch events (touch phase move) to an application? Are we looking at 10 updates a second, 25 updates a second? Has anybody timed it (touch begin, start timer, user drags finger, count events, after five seconds count the events and produce an average?) Thanks ...

iOS UIViewController deallocating itself?

Odd problem in an iPhone app. My application's main view is View A, which is a tab controller. One tab in particular is set to load View B. View B, when you click a button, modally displays View C. View C in turn has a button that, when pressed, sends a message to its delegate (View B's view controller), and the delegate then dismisses ...
