Nesting Custom Classes/XIB's with Interface Builder

I'll try to make this as short as I can. I wrote a custom class that extends UIView with a couple of IBOutlet properties, and it has a XIB associated with it where those IBOutlets are linked to. I then want to take that class, embed it in some other XIB (for example, a table cell), and just have it work. It seems that when I embed tha...

UIPageControl dot for a search page

Is there any way to add a magnification glass icon instead of the dot for my first page, that allows to perform some search, using the UIPageControl for my native application on the iPhone?

UIView getting disabled

I have a UIView that's starting about 600 pt's off the screen, but when it comes on to the actual frame, it seems to be disabled. I've tried using a UIScrollView, but also can't because I need to access the touchesBegan and touchesMoved methods form my UIView, so how would I enable interaction after it comes back on to the screen. And...

viewWillDisappear: Determine whether view controller is being popped or is showing a sub-view controller

I'm struggling to find a good solution to this problem. In a view controller's -viewWillDisappear: method, I need to find a way to determine whether it is because a view controller is being pushed onto the navigation controller's stack, or whether it is because the view controller is disappearing because it has been popped. At the momen...

Cocoa Touch Data Persistence

Hi there, I'm experimenting with Core Data, plist files, flat files and sqlite. I can't seem to differentiate in terms of efficiency for small data sets. In terms of the differences on the surface ( i.e the API ), i know the difference. But what I'm trying to get a feel for is which persistence model is best for which situation. Thank...

How do I [legally] get the current first responder on the screen on an iPhone?

I submitted my app a little over a week ago and got the dreaded rejection email today. It reads as follows: Dear -----------, Thank you for submitting --------- to the App Store.

UITextView has no events

I am developing an iPhone application which requires a multiline text field (UITextView) to capture some text. When the user touches inside the textView it becomes firstResponder and displays the keyboard. What I really need it to do is remove the keyboard when the user is finished. Normally with a text field the return/done button pres...

Is this a UIKit bug?

I am not sure if this bug really comes from my app or maybe really is a UIKit bug. Maybe someone here can clarify this. There is a tableview. Each cell offers a disclosure-button to a "settings"-like screen that is a modal view. The modal view can be closed via a "Close"-button. The modal view contains a UITextView. Now here comes the...

Can you change the cursor color in a UITextView?

Is it possible to override the color of the cursor and autocorrection bubbles in a UITextView? This is done in the built-in Notes application, but I don't know if it was done by public means or not. I can't find any reference to this in any documentation, so I'm worried that it's a private API set in the UIKeyboard or something. Am I mi...

Why the height of main window is 480 instead of 460 with status bar

Shouldn't it be 460 when the status bar whose height is 20 is shown? So it turns out that the status bar is ON the main window instead of ABOVE it? In contrast, view height is set to 460 in IB when status bar is turned on. ...

Converting between unique NSIndexPath and unique NSUInteger (or int)

The link adds methods through a UIKit category extension that converts between NSIndexPath an...

Maintaining proportions when autorotating custom UIView

This is probably either real easy, real dumb, or my google fu has taken a serious turn for the worse. Anyway, I'm implementing custom view for my app, which is using pure CGContext drawing, no subviews (for now at least). The thing is, I want it to autorotate, so I have shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation return YES, and voila, the vi...
