I have a label and I wish to increase the spacing between characters. I tried adding a space between each character, but this was too much Perhaps there is a font with large spacing between the letters? If all else fails, I am considering putting each character (only a size character code), into its own textbox. Any ideas on how to ...
I'm having an issue with UITableView's didSelectRowAtIndexPath. My table is setup so that when I select row it initializes a new view controller and pushes it. The first time I tap any row in the table, the method does not get called. Once I select another row, it begins to work as normal. I have verified this by setting a breakpoint ...
I need three different sections in my app: a login screen, a main screen, and one that takes place in landscape mode, all totally different. I saw Apple insists that an app should have one window, so I'm asking: what would be best to use for this? Three big windows, or views? And how should the hierarchy look like? I don't have experienc...

Hello - I have my views that are part of a tabBar. Each view has a navigationController. In one of my views I have an embeded xib component. This is a scrolling view with UIButtons inside it. I want to slide in another view, inside the navigationController when a person taps the button. I can get the taps, etc. BUT, I can't figure o...
I've noticed that I'm getting very intermittent orientation on my device & the simulator. I have a modal view controller that I present, and that is the only thing in my app which supports rotation. If I launch the app in portrait without moving the device, open the modal VC and then rotate the device, it usually works. However someti...

It's hard for me to debug as I hav...
What's the easiest/fastest/most efficient way to perform a gradual (0.5 sec) fade from Default.png to the initial app view? My initial try, which doesn't work so well .. it's Saturday night, let's see if we can do better :) UIImageView* whiteoutView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:self.view.frame]; // dealloc this later ?? whiteou...
I want to mimic the behavior of the Mail app when no results are found from the UISearchBar, and show a cell with a link to call a method. I can't figure out (or find anywhere) how to do so. The closest I think I've come is the following (which I've added into my code) if ([self.keys count] == 0){ [self.tableView beginUpdates]; ...
Hello, I have created an UITabView application. Each view selected from the bar is a seperate controller with own nib file. I switch between them succesfully. In the first view I have two buttons (check out the screenshot). When clicking them I want to switch to another views which are the parts of the current view controller. I use: ...
I'd like to prompt the user to select 1 or more people from their address book, but ABPeoplePickerNavigationController doesn't allow that (which is ironic, since it's people picker, not a person picker). Before I go create my own, does anyone know of an alternative (open source) implementation of such a controller? ...
Hello! I would like to set up a proxy object in the application NIB file. The problem is that the NIB file is the main application NIB that gets loaded automatically by the application and therefore I cannot set up the UINibProxiedObjectsKey dictionary as described in the documentation. Is there a way to set up a proxy object in the main...
I have a lot of images in my app so I decided to do some loading in a background thread, and since UIKit isn't thread-safe, I filled arrays with CGImageRefs. However, they are not cached and I need to be able to access them fast so my question is: How to cache CGImageRef, or cache the UIImage derived from it later on in the main thread?...
My app will be using slightly thicker separator lines in tableViews - about 3x the thickness. I have already done this in some areas by setting separatorStyle to none and customizing cell backgroundViews with custom backgrounds that include my thick separator. The issue with this method is that it only applies to real rows. Thus if I ...
Is there a way to rotate an UIPickerView? ...
I want to preface this question with the fact I am new to the iphone application development and many times believe I may be over my head. I am trying to find an action that will allow me to double tap anywhere within my full screen UIScrollView to return to my main menu (MainMenuViewController). I currently have the following code runn...
I'm trying to get a UITextView (NOT a UITextField) to act as a password field where the text is obfuscated as you type into it. However, setting this property to YES on a UITextView seems to have no effect and the letters are always visible instead of only being visible if it's the last letter typed and a dot otherwise. Has anyone else...
I've checked the other answers but have not found anything that really describes my situation. So here goes. I have a window-based app that creates and loads a UIViewController from xib. It has status bar disabled, height of 480 and a UISegmentedControl with y origin of 451. It displays nicely at the bottom of the screen.* In viewDidLo...
The following function is a method of a class called TitleOverlay - which is a transparent overlay with a textView. The function shows the overlay by animating its alpha, and in parallel uses the animationWillStart property of the animation to show the keyboard. On 3G phones, the first time this function is called, there is some lag be...
Hi, I have a weird issue with setContentOffset which I don't seem to be able to solve: I'm trying to build an "endless" scroll view, so I'd like to reset the content offset at a certain position. With the code below setContentOffset will be called at x=160px. If I drag the scroll view my log looks like this: offset: 158 offset: 159 o...
