Resizing iphone keywindow's main view

Edit: When I start the App without the status bar on top everything behaves as planned. With the status bar I coulnd't get the views to act as I wanted.

iPhone Instruments Leaks is confusing me. UIView fade out animation causes a lot of tiny leaks

I'm trying to kill all memory leaks in my iPhone 3.0 application. CLANG builds with all lights green so now I'm analyzing with Instruments. This is easier said then done, since it is indicating hundreds of 16 byte leaks after just a few minutes of using the app. It seams to be mainly in UIKit, and the common part is that the end of the...

iPhone - Memory leak while displaying UILabel.

hi, I am using a simple function to display messages to user through a label. The function is as follows: -(void) showMessage:(NSString*) message { Message.text = message; [message release]; } There is no memory leak if I call this function from the main thread. But if I call this function from a separate thread, the instruments m...

Objective-C / Xcode project : Where to put structs?

Objective-C / Cocoa creation release order?

I am just curious if the order expressed for the release of objects should reflect the reverse of their order in the hierarchy: // Psuedo code alloc OBJ_001; alloc OBJ_001 > OBJ_002; alloc OBJ_001 > OBJ_002 > NSSting; release NSString; release OBJ_002; release OBJ_001; I am pretty sure it should (makes sense to me), but have not seen...

NS String comparison fails with stringWithFormat

I have two NSStrings with the same value this failed for me: if (button.controlName == controlName) { return button; } this worked: if ([button.controlName compare: controlName] == NSOrderedSame) { return button; } Is this just how strings are compared in objective c? Or should the first statement have worked as well? Why ...

Differences between NSStrings?

I understand that the v03 example creates an object that I own and must ultimately release. What I would like to know is are there any differences between the first two(v_01 & v02), or are they essentially the same? // Version_01 userName = @"Teddy"; // Version_02 userName = [NSString stringWithString:@"Gary"]; // Version_03 userName ...

Wiring events to a UITextView

I can't seem to wire events to my UITextView. I'm expecting that the list of events that are available for the UITextField ("Did End On Exit", "Editing Changed", etc) , should all be available for the UITextView. However this isn't the case. UITextView in its events listing shows nothing. What's going on here and how do I trap events...

Objective C - Change the values within NSArray by dereferencing?

Hi everyone, I've come across a problem related to pointers within arrays in objective-c. What I'm trying to do is take the pointers within an NSArray, pass them to a method, and then assign the returned value back to the original pointer(the pointer which belongs to the array). Based on what I know from C and C++, by dereferencing th...

Printing an NSTableView

Hi all, I'm trying to print an NSTableView, but most of the table keeps getting cut out. My question is twofold: How can I get it to resize to fit one page? How can I get it to print landscape? If there's a better way to do it, without using the print: function, then I'm happy to receive those suggestions too! (The Table is binded t...

Are instance variables set to nil by default in Objective-C?

Hi there, I'm sorting out some memory issues with my iPhone app and I've just been thinking about some basics. If I setup an ivar and never end up using it in the lifespan of my object, when I call dealloc on it, will that cause a problem? E.g. @interface testClass { id myobject; } @property (nonatomic, retain) id myobject; @end @...
