Why should I set UITextField delegate to itself in init? - uitextfield

I have set first time my CustomUITextField delegate like this below. But I get a nasty exc-bad-access crash when editing text.
CustomTextField *textField = [[CustomTextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 132, 44)];
textField.delegate = textField;
After that I put it to CustomTextField's init method and than it works.
- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame
{
self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
if (self) {
self.delegate = self;
}
Why?

NSButton Toggle : OnClick title get removed on OSX 10.11

I am using a Toggle button in XIB,
in AwakeFromNib :I set title and BG image of the button.
Code works very well till OSX 10.10.5 and below but on higher versions when I click on button the text gets removed.
Set attributed Title
[self.deleteButton setWantsLayer:YES];
self.deleteButton.layer.backgroundColor = [self setButtonBGColor];
[self setButtonTitleFor:self.deleteButton
toString:#"Delete"];
[self.deleteButton setLayerContentsRedrawPolicy:NSViewLayerContentsRedrawOnSetNeedsDisplay];
- (void)setButtonTitleFor:(NSButton*)button toString:(NSString*)title
{
NSAttributedString *attrString = [self getAttributedStringForString:title];
[button setAttributedTitle:attrString];
}
Any idea hat should be done.
So finally got it right
Subclassing NSButtonCell helped me out
RPButtonTextTopCell.h
#interface RPButtonTextTopCell : NSButtonCell
#end
RPButtonTextTopCell.m
#implementation RPButtonTextTopCell
-(id) init
{
self = [super init];
if (self) {
}
return self;
}
-(id) initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)decoder
{
return [super initWithCoder:decoder];
}
-(id) initTextCell:(NSString *)string
{
return [super initTextCell:string];
}
-(NSRect)titleRectForBounds:(NSRect)theRect
{
NSRect titleFrame = [super titleRectForBounds:theRect];
NSSize titleSize = [[self attributedStringValue] size];
titleFrame.origin.y = (theRect.origin.y - (theRect.size.height-titleSize.height)*0.5) + 5;
return titleFrame;
}
#end
Utilizing This Custom Class
RPButtonTextTopCell *deleteCell = [[RPButtonTextTopCell alloc] init];
deleteCell.backgroundColor = [self setNSButtonBGColor];
[self.deleteButton setCell:deleteCell];
[self setButtonTitleFor:self.deleteButton
toString:#"Delete"];
[self.deleteButton setAction:#selector(deleteButtonClicked:)];
[self.deleteButton setTarget:self];
and its solved....

Getting a CollectionView delegate to load properly

(Let me first put the error up here so that I don't forget it: could not dequeue a view of kind: UICollectionElementKindCell with identifier Cell - must register a nib or a class for the identifier or connect a prototype cell in a storyboard)
I've got a regular UICollectionViewController that loads just fine. But I also have another controller (UserViewController) that loads a CollectionView delegate (UserPlaceViewController).
I get really confused with what I have to load in the delegate and what I have to load in the current controller. But anyway here's the delegate as-is:
#import "UserPlaceViewController.h"
#interface UserPlaceViewController ()
#end
#implementation UserPlaceViewController
#synthesize placeArray, placeTable;
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
// placeTable.delegate = self;
UICollectionViewFlowLayout* flowLayout = [[UICollectionViewFlowLayout alloc]init];
flowLayout.itemSize = CGSizeMake(145, 150);
[flowLayout setScrollDirection:UICollectionViewScrollDirectionVertical];
placeTable = [[UICollectionView alloc] initWithFrame:self.view.bounds collectionViewLayout:flowLayout];
//self.collectionView.frame = CGRectMake(10, 120, self.view.bounds.size.width-20, self.view.bounds.size.height-50);
placeTable.autoresizesSubviews = YES;
placeTable.autoresizingMask = (UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight);
//placeTable.separatorStyle = UITableViewCellSeparatorStyleSingleLine;
placeTable.scrollEnabled = YES;
self.view = placeTable;
NSLog(#"%lu", (unsigned long)[placeArray count]);
}
That's basically the whole thing. Couple other things at the end... but that's it for the most part.
And here are the relevent parts of the ViewController:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
[self.navigationController setNavigationBarHidden:YES animated:YES];
UserPlaceViewController *collectionView = [[UserPlaceViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"UserPlace" bundle:nil];
UINib * placeCell = [UINib nibWithNibName:#"Shops" bundle:nil];
[collectionView.placeTable registerNib:placeCell forCellWithReuseIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
- (void) fetchedData: (NSData *) responseData
{
UserPlaceViewController * uptvLike = [[UserPlaceViewController alloc] init];
if (IS_IPHONE5) {
uptvLike.view.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 300);
}
else
{
uptvLike.view.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 200);
}
uptvLike.placeTable.delegate = self;
uptvLike.placeTable.dataSource = self;
uptvLike.placeTable.layer.borderWidth = 1.0f;
uptvLike.placeTable.layer.borderColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:5/255.0f green:96/255.0f blue:255/255.0f alpha:1.0f].CGColor;
[uptvLike.placeTable reloadData];
[self.scrollView addSubview:uptvLike.view];
}
And finally:
- (UICollectionViewCell *)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView cellForItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
PlaceCell * cell = [collectionView dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier:cellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];
Place * p = [placeArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.item];
cell.placeName.text = p.PName;
cell.placeImg.image = [UIImage imageWithData:[NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:p.PImage]]];
return cell;
}
Like I said: I know how a UICollectionView is supposed to work. I've got one running. I know you have to register a nib or class in viewDidLoad (I've registered a Nib.) But I'm confused over how exactly to load this delegate and where to load what. For example I see that I'm initialising the collectionview in both the delegate and the view controller. I'm also confused about WHERE exactly I should load the nib... (delegates give me a headache...)
So what the hell... It's raining. I figured I'd ask.
Ok. You want a UICollectionView but you also want to have a lot of regular "View" items on the same screen? Two things are important:
1. You don't need two ViewControllers. You just need to load what would normally be your UICollectionViewController as a regular ViewController:
#interface UserViewController : UIViewController <UICollectionViewDataSource, UIScrollViewDelegate>
2. Once that's done you can load your collectionview on TOP of that view:
UICollectionViewFlowLayout* flowLayout = [[UICollectionViewFlowLayout alloc]init];
flowLayout.itemSize = CGSizeMake(145, 150);
[flowLayout setScrollDirection:UICollectionViewScrollDirectionVertical];
self.collectionView = [[UICollectionView alloc] initWithFrame:self.view.frame collectionViewLayout:flowLayout];
[self.scrollView addSubview:self.collectionView];
[self.view addSubview:HUD];
UINib * placeCell = [UINib nibWithNibName:#"UserCell" bundle:nil];
[self.collectionView registerNib:placeCell forCellWithReuseIdentifier:#"Cell"];
The rest is just your standard CollectionView stuff.

EDITED: MapKit Annotation callouts. Adjust size of the UIPopoverController

Sorry, I have read a bunch of tutorials how to create a custom Callout for MapKit Annotation. It works with NSLog, but I cannot display the information in the Callouts.
I have two type of icons on the map. This is my viewForAnnotation method:
-(MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id<MKAnnotation>)annotation {
if (! [annotation isKindOfClass:[IGAMapAnnotation class]]) {
return nil;
}
IGAMapAnnotation *myLocation = (IGAMapAnnotation *) annotation;
self.typeIsFix = [myLocation.navaidType isEqualToString:#"FIX"];
self.typeIsPort = [myLocation.navaidType isEqualToString:#"PORT"];
int planeImageViewTag = 42;
NSString *reuseId;
if (self.typeIsPort)
reuseId = #"IGAMapAnnotationPort";
else if (self.typeIsFix)
reuseId = #"IGAMapAnnotationFix";
else
reuseId = #"IGAMapAnnotationOther";
MKAnnotationView *annotationView = [mapView dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:reuseId];
if (annotationView == nil)
{
annotationView = [[MKAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:reuseId];
annotationView.enabled = YES;
UIButton *annotationInfo = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeDetailDisclosure];
annotationView.rightCalloutAccessoryView = annotationInfo;
annotationView.canShowCallout = YES;
if (self.typeIsPort)
{
annotationView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"mapPORT.png"];
annotationView.centerOffset = CGPointMake(0, 0);
}
else if (self.typeIsFix)
{
annotationView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"mapFIX.png"];
annotationView.centerOffset = CGPointMake(0, 0);
}
else
return nil;
}
else
{
annotationView.annotation = annotation;
}
return annotationView;
}
Then I have a calloutAccessoryControlTapped method
- (void)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapview annotationView:(MKAnnotationView *)view calloutAccessoryControlTapped:(UIControl *)control
{
IGAAnnotationInfoViewController *popOverCallout = [[IGAAnnotationInfoViewController alloc]init];
UIPopoverController *popOver = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:popOverCallout];
popOver.popoverContentSize = CGSizeMake(300, 200);
[popOver presentPopoverFromRect:view.bounds
inView:view
permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny animated:YES];
}
I have also created a UIViewController which I assigned to UIPopoverController.
Now, when I tap the button on my annotation I see a white space for text. Great. If I assign text to a label in UIViewController, it also works great (the following is my UIViewController.m):
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
txtCallout = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, 300, 200) ];
txtCallout.font = [UIFont fontWithName:#"Arial Rounded MT Bold" size:(14.0)];
txtCallout.numberOfLines = 0;
txtCallout.clipsToBounds = YES;
txtCallout.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
txtCallout.textColor = [UIColor blackColor];
txtCallout.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentLeft;
txtCallout.text = #"text\ntext\ntext";
[self.view addSubview:txtCallout];
}
But how do I insert the text from my annotation method? Also the text must be different depending on the icon type, say #"PORT, PORT" or #"FIX,FIX". How do I do it?
EDIT:
I have managed to display callouts with the necessary information passed. My last problem is that sometimes my callout is 3 lines, sometimes -- as many as 15. How is it possible to make the callout adjust automatically to the number of lines in my string? Should I modify my popoverContentSize or my label size in the UIViewController?
Thank you so much!
I have figured out how to adjust the MK Annotation callout to a UILabel.
Implement the calloutAccessoryControlTapped method
- (void)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapview annotationView:(MKAnnotationView *)view calloutAccessoryControlTapped:(UIControl *)control
{
// OPTIONAL: Deselecting Annotation View when Callout is tapped
//[mapview deselectAnnotation:view.annotation animated:YES];
NSString *calloutDetails;
IGAMapAnnotation *annotationTapped = (IGAMapAnnotation *)view.annotation;
calloutDetails = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"YOUR TEXT:\nYOURTEXT\n"];
// Declare and initialize the UIViewController that has the label to contain the callout information
IGAAnnotationInfoViewController *detailViewController = [[IGAAnnotationInfoViewController alloc]initWithText:calloutDetails];
UIPopoverController *popOver = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:detailViewController];
// Size of the UIPopoverController = size of the label + 40 pts
popOver.popoverContentSize = CGSizeMake(detailViewController.txtCallout.frame.size.width+40,detailViewController.txtCallout.frame.size.height+40);
// Show popover controller
[popOver presentPopoverFromRect:view.bounds
inView:view
permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny
animated:YES];
}
Now, IGAAnnotationInfoViewController.h
#interface IGAAnnotationInfoViewController : UIViewController {
CGRect calloutSize;
}
#property (strong,nonatomic) NSString *calloutInformation;
#property (strong,nonatomic) IGACalloutLabel *txtCallout;
-(IGAAnnotationInfoViewController*) initWithText : (NSString*) calloutText;
IGAAnnotationInfoViewController.m
#implementation IGAAnnotationInfoViewController
#synthesize calloutInformation,txtCallout;
-(IGAAnnotationInfoViewController*) initWithText : (NSString*) calloutText {
self = [super init];
if ( self ) {
calloutInformation = calloutText;
// Creating a label that will display the callout information (passed from IGAAcarasViewController - Map Annotation)
txtCallout = [[IGACalloutLabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(20, 20, 0, 0)];
txtCallout.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakByWordWrapping;
txtCallout.numberOfLines=0;
txtCallout.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
txtCallout.textColor=[UIColor blueColor];
txtCallout.text = calloutInformation;
[txtCallout drawTextInRect:CGRectMake(10,10,0,0)];
[txtCallout sizeToFit];
[self.view addSubview:txtCallout];
}
return self;
}
Finally, subclass the UILabel class:
implementation IGACalloutLabel
#synthesize topInset, leftInset, bottomInset, rightInset;
- (void)drawTextInRect:(CGRect)rect
{
UIEdgeInsets insets = {topInset,leftInset,bottomInset,rightInset};
return [super drawTextInRect:UIEdgeInsetsInsetRect(rect, insets)];
}

mkmapview not showing according to the frame in nib file

Here is the screen of my nib file and map view but the map is always taking the whole view.I tried resetting my simulator and cleaning my Xcode but nothing works.Am i doing something wrong?
Do i need to give mapview a frame programmatically?
http://prntscr.com/1sy1bw
I also want the button to be on top of mapview if the map cannot be set to take a particular frame.
Consider the below code please:
#import "mapViewController.h"
#interface mapViewController ()
#end
#implementation mapViewController
#synthesize mapView,source,dest,latdest,latsource,longdest,longsource;
- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil
{
self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil];
if (self)
{
dest=#"delhi";
}
return self;
}
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
mapView = [[MKMapView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,160,240)];
CLGeocoder *geocoder1 = [[CLGeocoder alloc] init];
[geocoder1 geocodeAddressString:source
completionHandler:^(NSArray* placemarks, NSError* error)
{
for (CLPlacemark* aPlacemark in placemarks)
{
coordinate.latitude = aPlacemark.location.coordinate.latitude;
latsource=&coordinate.latitude;
coordinate.longitude = aPlacemark.location.coordinate.longitude;
longsource=&coordinate.longitude;
MKPointAnnotation *annotation = [[MKPointAnnotation alloc] init];
[annotation setCoordinate:(coordinate)];
[annotation setTitle:source];
annotation.subtitle = #"I'm here!!!";
mapView.delegate = self;
[self.mapView addAnnotation:annotation];
}
}];
}
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
//mapView = [[MKMapView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,160,240)];
CLGeocoder *geocoder1 = [[CLGeocoder alloc] init];
[geocoder1 geocodeAddressString:source
completionHandler:^(NSArray* placemarks, NSError* error)
{
for (CLPlacemark* aPlacemark in placemarks)
{
coordinate.latitude = aPlacemark.location.coordinate.latitude;
latsource=&coordinate.latitude;
coordinate.longitude = aPlacemark.location.coordinate.longitude;
longsource=&coordinate.longitude;
MKPointAnnotation *annotation = [[MKPointAnnotation alloc] init];
[annotation setCoordinate:(coordinate)];
[annotation setTitle:source];
annotation.subtitle = #"I'm here!!!";
[self.view addSubview:mapView];
[self.mapView addAnnotation:annotation];
}
}];
}
I commented the mapview alloc codeline and this fixed the issue.Seems like mapview gets pushed as soon as its allocated memory space.Moreover the frame coordinated that i initialised mapviewview with are still preserved although the code is commented.Dont know if it should work this way only or not but it did solved my issue .

Custom UIBarButton not appearing correctly in UITableView

I have code that successfully creates a custom UIBarButtonItem that appears on the navigation bar. I use the code in other view controllers, and it works perfectly, but in the UITableViewController, the button appears as the regular BackButtonItem. Can someone help me out? Here is the code that I use in the viewDidLoad method in all of the viewControllers
#implementation P2OListViewController
- (id)initWithStyle:(UITableViewStyle)style
{
self = [super initWithStyle:style];
if (self) {
}
return self;
}
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = nil;
self.navigationItem.hidesBackButton = YES;
UIImage *backButtonImage = [UIImage imageNamed:#"button-back#2x.png"];
UIButton *backButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[backButton setImage:backButtonImage forState:UIControlStateNormal];
backButton.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 60, 35);
[backButton addTarget:self
action:#selector(goToMenu:)
forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
UIBarButtonItem *back = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithCustomView:backButton];
self.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem = back;
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {
}
- (void)goToMenu:(id)sender {
[self.navigationController popToRootViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
{
[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
#end
hide the default backBarButtonItem by setting its hide property to yes
self.navigationItem.hidesBackButton = YES;
in your viewWillAppear
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = nil;
self.navigationItem.hidesBackButton = YES;
UIImage *backButtonImage = [UIImage imageNamed:#"button-back#2x.png"];
UIButton *backButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[backButton setImage:backButtonImage forState:UIControlStateNormal];
backButton.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 60, 35);
[backButton addTarget:self
action:#selector(goToMenu:)
forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
UIBarButtonItem *back = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithCustomView:backButton];
self.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem = back;
}
if above not works try this & see what happens:
if (!self.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem.hidden) {
self.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem.hidden = YES;
}
else {
NSLog(#"back button already hidden");
}
