My Application is in ARC.
In any view of my application there is one back ground image and on that image some animations are continuously repeating the images.
Problem is : My application is going in background after some time.
I seen and tried Lots of thing on stack, google and on apple doc but didn't got satisfactory solution.
I have Three Question.
(1) How to Stop this ?
(2) Is there any other method to release the memory manually in ARC.
(3) If i use [self.view removeFromSuperview]; for UIView then also some memory didn't released in ARC ?
MyCode for Animation is
imageview = [[UIImageView alloc] init];
imageview.image = [UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"bluecandy08" ofType:#"png"]];
[self.view addSubview:imgBubbleAnimation];
imageview.animationImages = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
[UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"bluecandy01" ofType:#"png"]],
[UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"bluecandy02" ofType:#"png"]],
[UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"bluecandy03" ofType:#"png"]],
[UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"bluecandy04" ofType:#"png"]],
[UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"bluecandy05" ofType:#"png"]],
[UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"bluecandy06" ofType:#"png"]],
[UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"bluecandy07" ofType:#"png"]],
nil];
[imageview setAnimationRepeatCount:0]; // 0 for continuous
imageview.animationDuration =3.0;
[imageview startAnimating];
And Sound files are (played when particular button clicked)
URL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath: [[NSBundle mainBundle]
pathForResource:#"ect1a" ofType:#"mp3"]];
audioSound = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:URL error:nil];
audioSound.delegate = self;
audioSound.volume = 5.0;
audioSound.numberOfLoops = 0;
[audioSound play];
I have 15 small sound files for one view and 15 animations for one view.
In every particular Animation there are min 15 images.
Any help, suggestion, link or tutorial are welcome.
Not using imageview.animationImages is the first thing you need to do to get your memory usage under control. That API should never be used as it lets you shoot yourself in the foot easily.

How do I cycle the images in an UIImageView?
Say I have three images, 1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg. How do I get the pictures to change ad infinitum until the user presses something...
This describes it pretty well: [Link]
// create the view that will execute our animation
UIImageView* campFireView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:self.view.frame];
// load all the frames of our animation
campFireView.animationImages = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
[UIImage imageNamed:#"campFire01.gif"],
[UIImage imageNamed:#"campFire02.gif"],
[UIImage imageNamed:#"campFire03.gif"],
[UIImage imageNamed:#"campFire04.gif"],
[UIImage imageNamed:#"campFire05.gif"],
[UIImage imageNamed:#"campFire06.gif"],
[UIImage imageNamed:#"campFire07.gif"],
[UIImage imageNamed:#"campFire08.gif"],
[UIImage imageNamed:#"campFire09.gif"],
[UIImage imageNamed:#"campFire10.gif"],
[UIImage imageNamed:#"campFire11.gif"],
[UIImage imageNamed:#"campFire12.gif"],
[UIImage imageNamed:#"campFire13.gif"],
[UIImage imageNamed:#"campFire14.gif"],
[UIImage imageNamed:#"campFire15.gif"],
[UIImage imageNamed:#"campFire16.gif"],
[UIImage imageNamed:#"campFire17.gif"], nil];
// all frames will execute in 1.75 seconds
campFireView.animationDuration = 1.75;
// repeat the annimation forever
campFireView.animationRepeatCount = 0;
// start animating
[campFireView startAnimating];
// add the animation view to the main window
[self.view addSubview:campFireView];
I currently have a mp4 video converted from a gif playing at app launch, but using a video stops playing music and has problems with airplay devices connected.
Anyways what i really want is showing my gif on app launch. But i can't seem to get the gif to "play" it only shows one frame, how do i make it play the whole gif ?
My current code:
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
// Show Animation;
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"Launch" ofType:#"mp4"]];
LaunchPlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc]
initWithContentURL:url];
LaunchPlayer.view.frame = self.view.bounds;
LaunchPlayer.moviePlayer.movieSourceType = MPMovieSourceTypeFile;
LaunchPlayer.moviePlayer.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleNone;
LaunchPlayer.view.tag = 1;
[self.view addSubview:LaunchPlayer.view];
[LaunchPlayer.moviePlayer play];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(LaunchFinish)
name:#"MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification"
object:nil];
}
Although I don't see how the code you posted has anything to do with using a .gif, you its sticking to the first frame because iOS will not run an animated .gif. However, you can export each frame of your animation as a separate image and animate them like this.
-(void) viewDidLoad
{
imageView.animationImages = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
[UIImage imageNamed:#"myImageFrame1.gif"],
[UIImage imageNamed:#"myImageFrame2.gif"],
[UIImage imageNamed:#"myImageFrame3.gif"],
[UIImage imageNamed:#"myImageFrame4.gif"], nil];
imageView.animationDuration = 2.0;
imageView.animationRepeatCount = 0;
[imageView startAnimating];
}
In my little example here. i used a UIWEBVIEW called webView and had spinning-loader.gif added as a resource. The image can me put anywhere in the project as long as its added. This showed the gif as well as made it animate. Hope this helps.
NSString *pathImg = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"spinning-loader" ofType:#"gif"];
NSString* webViewContent = [NSString stringWithFormat:
#"<html><body><img style='width:85;height:85;' src=\"file://%#\" /></body></html>", pathImg];
[webView loadHTMLString:webViewContent baseURL:nil];
webView.scrollView.bounces = NO;
webView.scrollView.scrollEnabled = NO;
webView.opaque=FALSE;
[webView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
I have an iPad app with several segmented controls, including one view with two controls.
On that view, everything shows in the sim, both normal and retina. However, in the device, only one shows.
Below is the code that does not show on the device.. I have checked and all the images that make up the control are copied in the bundle resources. I've tried removing, cleaning, etc. No joy. I must be missing something (hopefully simple)..
UISegmentedControl *controls = [[UISegmentedControl alloc] initWithItems:
[NSArray arrayWithObjects:
[UIImage imageNamed:#"1.png"],
[UIImage imageNamed:#"2.png"],
[UIImage imageNamed:#"3.png"],
[UIImage imageNamed:#"4.png"],
[UIImage imageNamed:#"5.png"],
[UIImage imageNamed:#"6.png"],
[UIImage imageNamed:#"7.png"],
nil]];
CGRect frame = CGRectMake(35, 70, 700, 35);
controls.frame = frame;
}
[controls addTarget:self action:#selector(drawSegmentAction:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
controls.segmentedControlStyle = UISegmentedControlStyleBar;
controls.momentary = YES;
controls.tintColor = [UIColor grayColor];
[self.view addSubview:controls];
}
For reference, this code in the same view does work:
For reference, this control code does work:
-(void) buildColorBar {
//NSLog(#"%s", __FUNCTION__);
UISegmentedControl *colorControl = [[UISegmentedControl alloc] initWithItems:
[NSArray arrayWithObjects: [UIImage imageNamed:#"White.png"],
[UIImage imageNamed:#"Red.png"],
[UIImage imageNamed:#"Yellow.png"],
[UIImage imageNamed:#"Green.png"],
[UIImage imageNamed:#"Blue.png"],
[UIImage imageNamed:#"Purple.png"],
[UIImage imageNamed:#"Black.png"],
nil]];
NSLog(#"Portrait");
CGRect frame = CGRectMake(35, 950, 700, 35);
colorControl.frame = frame;
// When the user chooses a color, the method changeBrushColor: is called.
[colorControl addTarget:self action:#selector(changeBrushColor:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
colorControl.segmentedControlStyle = UISegmentedControlStyleBar;
// Make sure the color of the color complements the black background
colorControl.tintColor = [UIColor grayColor];
// Add the control to the window
[self.view addSubview:colorControl];
}
Is there a rule against using two segmented controls in one view?
I found that one image in the segmented control - while it looked like it was in the bundle - it wasn't. PITA, but at least, it works..
When changing the image on an UIImageView in code, the image disappears. This only happens on an iPod Touch device, not on the iPhone emulator.
In my bundle I have an image named SomeImage.PNG
NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"SomeImage" ofType:#"png"];
[self.background setImage:[[UIImage alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:path]];
I must reiterate, this works fine on the iPhone simulator but not on an iPod Touch device.
Notice that the image file has an upper-case file extension, but in my code it is declared with lower case. This is the problem. So to fix the problem, change the code to this:
NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"SomeImage" ofType:#"PNG"];
[self.background setImage:[[UIImage alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:path]];
I am asking if there is a 'better' way to do what I am doing, so I don't come across such issues in the future.
Not really. Unfortunately the iOS file system is case sensitive.
Something like this.....?
NSString *filename = #"SomeImage";
NSString *extension = #"png";
UIImage *img = nil;
NSString *path = nil;
path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:filename ofType:[extension lowercaseString]];
img = [[UIImage alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:path];
if (img == nil) {
path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:filename ofType:[extension uppercaseString]];
img = [[UIImage alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:path];
}
I want to learn the right way to alloc an uiimage and release it for memory management.
When i use the following code it crashes when deallocating,
if i dont use [imager release];
program doesnt crash but it shows a leak for imager. Any ideas for solution?
UIImage *imager = [[UIImage alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:s#"nameofimage" ofType:#"jpg"]];
UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:imager];
[imageView release];
[imager release];
The right way of doing memory management is as you have done.
UIImage *imager = [[UIImage alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"nameofimage" ofType:#"jpg"]];
UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:imager];
[imager release];
[imageView release];
May be it work if you first release the uiimage than uiimageview
I am not finding any mistake in this code. If the application crashes then check if you are using the same object reference anywhere else after it gets released.
