Hi, I'm learning to develop for iPhone without Interface Builder (a personal preference), and I'm not sure which function of a view controller I should be setting up the view in: init, viewDidLoad, or loadView. I read somewhere to only use init for the view controller, if anything, and not setting up the view as it could cause problems. ...

Or can I use Xcode to make it into web app without completely re-writing the ...
The iPhone SDK 3.0 has this handy new class "UISearchDisplayController" which makes it easy to create a search bar, handling all the user input and displaying the search results. I am using it for my new app, but there is one thing i would like to change: As a default, the search bar should be put at the top of the UITableView that dis...

It sounds to me like subversion's centralized model works better for web application development where you have a team of engineers working currently on the same code base and releasing constantly. On the other hand Git's distributed model is appealing for an IPhone app because 1) I dont' need a connection to browse the repository 2) it...
Hi, I'd like to use some MIT-licensed xml-parsing code in my iPhone game. This seems to require that I package the MIT license with the application. However, my iPhone app does not include extensive documentation and my demographic will not want legal notices shoved in their faces. My boss is afraid of using this code because our compa...
I have a 2 MB file, not too large, that I'd like to put into an sqlite database so that I can search it. There are about 30K entries that are in CSV format, with six fields per line. My understanding is that sqlite on the iPhone can handle a database of this size. I have taken a few approaches but they have all been slow > 30 s. I've...
Sorry, this is not programming related but I still think its important. I know that for a company of 2 people or more the program requires a business license. Is it the same requirement for an individual developer releasing an application? ...
Usually, a UISearchDisplayController, when activated, dims the tableView and focuses the searchBar. As soon as you enter text into the searchBar, it creates a searchResultsTableView that displays between the searchBar and the keyboard. The searchDisplayController's delegate gets called when this second UITableView is loaded/shown/hidden/...
I'm working on a fairly simple iPhone app to solve the quadratic equation, mostly because it's so easy-at least the concepts and math! I've created an interface in Interface Builder that has a couple Labels, 3 text fields (varAfield, etc) and a Solve button. The 3 text fields which are set as UITextFieldDelegate have been set so that th...
I have an array that creates several different sound file names in a specific order. I have successfully created the array but I am not sure how to call the value I got from the array as the file URL or how I implement it into AudioServicesPlaySystemSoundID. This is the code I have so far: - (void)viewDidLoad { NSArr...
I have a tab bar app but the first tab is an image with a button on it. Touching the button is supposed to push a web view. The other tabs are plain web views. Those work fine but every time I push to a new view, it's blank (except for the back button at the top.) Questions: Do I need an xib for the pushed web view? Where does the ...

I'm trying to overwrite the default action of the back button in a navigation controller. I've provided a target an action on the custom button.

I am taking a stream of readings from the GPS controller and storing them in an array, and occasionally writing the readings in the array to a file. Should I keep the file handle to the file open, or open and close the file each write? And how much does this matter in the scheme of power consumption? ...
