Is there an easy way to display a sorted dropdown list on the iPhone by "closest to current location"? I.e. if I have a list of cities with their GPS locations, can I quickly sort a dropdown to show you city selections in order of closest to you? Will this be fast? Or will I have to presort (before you select the dropdown) in the bac...

I need to be able to replace the entire document content with a response obtained from an ajax request. I have tried assigning to document.body.innerHTML and also tried using document.write().

Hi, I fetch a JSON array from a web service with touchJSON. Which looks like this: [{"icecream": {"title": "Banana"}}, {"icecream": {"title": "Strawberry"}}] I'm not able to parse this into a NSDictionary, because touchJSON doesn't support JSON arrays. How do I get my JSON array into a NSDicitionary? Regards ...
I am streaming an MP3 file using MPMoviePlayer, and I would like to have an image displayed instead of the default Quicktime logo in the background. I found out a way to have an image overlay the player, but the problem with that, is you have to tap outside the image to get the player controls to appear. And when they do appear, they a...
I'm going to upload an free App to the App store in a few weeks. I come from Holland. Will it be available worldwide, or just here? I'm concerned because App Store always shows me Apps from my country in the top lists, and I realld doubt that so many Apps come from here. ...
Is that an very cost-intensive function that sucky my performance away under my feet? I guess they used that one for the waggling buttons on the home screen + core animation. I just want to know before I start wasting my time ;) ...

I want to do some sophisticated animations. But I only know how to animate a block of changes. Is there a way to chain animations, so that I could for example make changes A -> B -> C -> D -> E -> F (and so on), while the core-animation waits until each animation has finished and then proceeds to the next one? In particular, I want to d...
I am trying to set an image as the background of a custom UIButton. I was able to set a background image for the "rounded rect" UIButton in interface builder, but now the borders have vanished.

I thought I had a pretty good handle on memory management for objective-c, but I can't figure out the following situation: @protocol MyProtocol @end @interface MyObject : NSObject { id<MyProtocol> reference; } @property (nonatomic, retain) id<MyProtocol> reference; @end @implementation MyObject @synthesize reference; -(vo...

In iPhoneOS, I want to create a UITabBarController for global app navigation (like the 'Phone' app and many others) whose tabbar items have text labels, but no icons. I would therefore also like the height of the tabbar to be much shorter. The tabbar should only be tall enough to accomodate the text labels or Apple's minimum recommende...

I've added a file that matches the iTunesArtwork requirements (512x512 JPG) to my project. Once I do that, I can no longer install the application on my device. I keep getting this error: Your mobile de...
I would like my iPhone app to allow the input, display and storage of currency amounts using the appropriate symbol ($, €, ₤, ¥, etc) for the user. Would NSNumberFormatter do everything I need? What happens when a user switches their locale and these amounts (dollars, yen, etc.) are stored as NSDecimalNumbers. I assume, to be safe, it'...
So I just made my web-application "iPhone Friendly". So you can add it to your home screen and it has an icon, no chroming, etc etc. The problem is that I want to display a custom splash-screen every time it is opened from the iPhone home screen. Right now it just shows the last screen viewed while it basically runs a refresh. I have...
