iPhone: RegexKit vs. RegexKit lite - going through an array takes very very long

For my app I need to see if an url is Matched by a regex string. so I created an array with all the regex strings (about 1000+ strings) and check them using RegexKit lite: for (NSString * aString in mainDelegate.whiteListArray) { if (![urlString isMatchedByRegex:aString]) { it works but sadly this operation takes very very long. at l...

NSArray, last Object always invalid

This has got me stumped. I build an NSArray and initWithObjects. The last element never really allocs. In fact, the next alloc in my code takes the same memory address as the one pointed from the last element. Code is: coordArr = [[NSArray alloc]initWithObjects: [NSValue valueWithCGPoint:CGPointMake(200.0,40.0)], [NSValue va...

UIButton touchUpInside action firing multiple times per click

I have three buttons set up in Interface Builder, each tied via touchUpInside to btnSelection: - (IBAction)btnSelection:(id)sender { NSLog(@"tag: %i", [sender tag]); } In my console, the first click registers correctly (after a second or so delay, which seems a bit weird) but any subsequent touch of any of the 3 buttons results in...

What is the NSObject isEqual: and hash default function?

I have a database model class that is a NSObject. I have a set of these objects in a NSMutableArray. I use indexOfObject: to find a match. Problem is the model object's memory address changes.

Total nooob here. I'm trying to figure out how to implement a transition from one UIWebview to another with a swipe and still be able to scroll/zoom w/in each webview.

Is it possible to disable the dragging waiting time in an UIScrollView?

When the user touches into an UIScrollView and wants to scroll, there is a little delay. UIKit tries to find out if the user wanted to touch the content in the scroll view or if the user wanted to scroll. So it waits a moment if the finger moves far enough, and then starts scrolling. Could I tell it that it must start scrolling with no d...

I am using navigation with a custom UIView subclass that becomes my titleView. I want to ensure this is the full available width.

This would ...

Is it possible to let the iPhone system time run faster for a moment?

Maybe this can solve out the ugly delay with touchesBegan: to touchesMoved:. It is caused artifically by iPhone OS to check if the user really wants to move. In some situations the finger must be tracked without delay, otherwise it just looks ugly. You see that everywhere through iPhone OS. Sliders, Scroll Views. Maybe accelerating the ...

How could I handle touch events by using hitTest?

I found this little text on the net: UIScrollView overrides hitTest method and always returns itself, so that all touch events (touchesBegan, touchesMoved, touchesEnded, touchesCancelled) go into it. Then inside touchesBegan, touchesMoved etc it checks if it's interested in the event, and either handles or passes it o...

Categories for NSMutableString and NSString causing binding confusion?

Hi, I have extended both NSString and NSMutableString with some convenience methods using categories. These added methods have the same name, but have different implementations.
