playing Random sounds on a soundboard app - random

I have been trying to create a app that when I press a button it plays a sound but then when I press the same button again it plays a different sound I don't mind if it plays it totally random all the time or if it plays a different sound a time but the same order every time hope this make sense guys
Here's all the code I have:
.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#interface ViewController : UIViewController
#class AVAudioPlayer;
#interface ViewController : UIViewController
-(IBAction)PlayRandomSound;
#property (nonatomic, retain) AVAudioPlayer *soundPlayer;
#end
.m
#import "ViewController.h"
#import <AVFoundation/AVAudioPlayer.h>
#interface ViewController ()
#end
#implementation ViewController
#synthesize soundPlayer = _soundPlayer;
-(IBAction)PlayRandomSound{
int randomNumber = arc4random() % 8 + 1;
NSURL *soundURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle]pathForResource:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"Sound%02d", randomNumber] ofType:#"mp3"]];
_soundPlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:soundURL error:nil];
[_soundPlayer prepareToPlay];
[_soundPlayer play];
NSLog(#"randomNumber is %d", randomNumber);
NSLog(#"tmpFilename is %#", soundURL);
}
Here the errors I have in images
I have also inserted the AVFoundation.Framework and AudioToolbox.Frame

You have many problems with this. It's hard to answer your actual question because you have lots of little problems that are getting in the way.
To give you some help:
this is incorrect:
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#interface ViewController : UIViewController
#class AVAudioPlayer;
#interface ViewController : UIViewController
As the image you have posted, even Xcode is trying to help you. The #class forward declaration is in the wrong place. Try putting it just after the #import statements. Because of this your soundplayer isn't being created properly and you are getting other warnings.
You need to fix all the errors and then all the warnings and keep doing this until it builds cleanly.

Mac OS X Cocoa multiview application navigation

I've already spent 2 full days trying to figure out how to use NSViewControllers in order to create a multiview application.
Here is what I do.
I have 2 View Controllers and the MainMenu.xib's Window.
I also have an AppController that is the delegate for both View Controllers.
When I launch the app, I'm first greeted with the MainMenu.xib's Window's view which holds a button. On clicking this button, an IBAction is sent to the appController and asks for the SecondViewController to display it's nib. So far, everything's fine and the nib file is displayed correctly.
On the secondViewController, there's another button that sends another IBAction to the appController and asks for the FirstViewController to be displayed but nothing happens,
no crash, no warning... Any help would be much appreciated...
Thanks in advance for your patience...
Here is the code for the AppController.h :
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import "SecondViewController.h"
#import "FirstViewController.h"
#interface AppController : NSObject
#property (strong) IBOutlet NSWindow *mainWindow;
#property (strong) IBOutlet SecondViewController *secondViewController;
#property (strong) IBOutlet FirstViewController *firstViewController;
- (IBAction)secondButtonfromsecondViewControllerClicked:(id)sender;
- (IBAction)buttonClicked:(id)sender;
#end
and here is the code for the AppController.m :
#import "AppController.h"
#implementation AppController
#synthesize mainWindow = mainwindow;
#synthesize secondViewController;
#synthesize firstViewController;
- (IBAction)buttonClicked:(id)sender {
NSLog(#"button from second View Controller clicked");
self.secondViewController = [[SecondViewController
alloc]initWithNibName:#"SecondViewController" bundle:nil];
self.mainWindow.contentView = self.secondViewController.view;
[self.secondViewController.view setAutoresizingMask:NSViewWidthSizable |
NSViewHeightSizable];
}
- (IBAction)secondButtonfromsecondViewControllerClicked:(id)sender {
NSLog(#"button from first ViewController clicked");
self.firstViewController = [[FirstViewController
alloc]initWithNibName:#"FirstViewController" bundle:nil];
self.mainWindow.contentView = [self.firstViewController view];
}
#end
Well, anyone can help me, I just need a single view application that displays a first ViewController with a button on the first viewController that takes me to a second view controller with a second button that takes me back to my first viewcontroller... I've already spent more than a week on that... in vain... PS : I don't want any button on the mainMenu.xib window nor tabs.
here is the solution to my question then.
Here's the code for the AppDelegate.h:
// AppDelegate.h
#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>
#import "FirstViewController.h"
#import "SecondViewController.h"
//We need to declare the AppDelegate class as being the delegate for both
//FirstViewController and SecondViewController
#interface AppDelegate : NSObject <NSApplicationDelegate,
FirstViewControllerDelegate, SecondViewControllerDelegate>
#property (strong, nonatomic) NSWindow *window;
#property (strong) FirstViewController *firstViewController;
#property (strong) SecondViewController *secondViewController;
-(void) goToSecondView;
-(void) goToFirstView;
#end
Now, here's the AppDelegate.m:
// AppDelegate.m
#import "AppDelegate.h"
#implementation AppDelegate
#synthesize window = _window;
#synthesize firstViewController;
#synthesize secondViewController;
-(void) awakeFromNib {
[self goToFirstView];
self.firstViewController.delegate = self;
}
-(void) goToSecondView {
if (self.secondViewController ==nil) {
self.secondViewController =[[SecondViewController alloc]
initWithNibName:#"SecondViewController" bundle:nil];
}
self.window.contentView = [self.secondViewController view];
}
-(void) goToFirstView {
if (self.firstViewController ==nil) {
self.firstViewController =[[FirstViewController alloc]
initWithNibName:#"FirstViewController" bundle:nil];
}
self.window.contentView = [self.firstViewController view];
}
#end
Next we need to set delegates in the FirstViewController and the SecondViewController
// FirstViewController.h
#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>
#import "SecondViewController.h"
//We declare the delegation protocole:
#protocol FirstViewControllerDelegate <NSObject>
-(void)goToSecondView;
#end
#interface FirstViewController : NSViewController
- (IBAction)firstViewControllerButtonClicked:(id)sender;
#property (nonatomic, strong) id <FirstViewControllerDelegate> delegate;
#end
And here is the FirstViewController.m:
// FirstViewController.m
#import "FirstViewController.h"
#implementation FirstViewController
#synthesize delegate;
- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil{
self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil];
if (self) {
self.delegate = [NSApp delegate];
}
return self;
}
- (IBAction)firstViewControllerButtonClicked:(id)sender {
NSLog(#"button from first View Controller clicked");
if ([self.delegate respondsToSelector:#selector(goToSecondView)]) {
[self.delegate goToSecondView];
}
}
#end
Now, same thing for the SecondViewController:
// SecondViewController.h
#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>
#protocol SecondViewControllerDelegate <NSObject>
-(void)goToFirstView;
#end
#interface SecondViewController : NSViewController
#property (nonatomic, strong) id <SecondViewControllerDelegate> delegate;
- (IBAction)goToFirstViewControllerButtonClicked:(id)sender;
#end
And here's the SecondViewController.m:
// SecondViewController.m
#import "SecondViewController.h"
#interface SecondViewController ()
#end
#implementation SecondViewController
- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil{
self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil];
if (self) {
self.delegate = [NSApp delegate];
}
return self;
}
- (IBAction)goToFirstViewControllerButtonClicked:(id)sender {
NSLog(#"button from Second View Controller clicked");
if ([self.delegate respondsToSelector:#selector(goToFirstView)]) {
[self.delegate goToFirstView];
}
}
#end
Well, I guess this code may be improved and if you have any suggestion, feel free to let me know. Hope it will help others.
THE PROBLEM: When the user presses a button in View2, you want View1 to appear. It's not.
STEP 1: You say that the button should be invoking an action on your AppController. Set a breakpoint (or add a diagnostic log) in that action, just to verify that it is, in fact, being invoked.
STEP 2: Think about what you want that action to do, precisely. My guess is that you want to hide View2 and show View1. Perhaps
[view2 setHidden: YES];
[view1 setHidden: NO];
(I'm not using your names here, of course.) Or you might animate the transitions, either cross-fading the views or moving them.
STEP 3: My guess is that STEP 2 will solve your problem. If it doesn't, use the debugger again to verify that view1 and view2 are not null. (If they're null, you probably have weak variables where you need them to be strong.)
STEP 4: In the unlikely event that you're still stuck, check the frames of view1 and view2. Perhaps view1 isn't where you think it is.
STEP 5: If you're still stuck, check the alphaValue of view1. Maybe you set it to be transparent, and it's being drawn transparently in the right place.
STEP 6: I bet there is no step 6!
This isn't much of an answer at the moment, however I have some concerns about your code that I wanted to work through with you.
Are you sure you have connected the outlets and actions in Interface Builder. Please verify this.
You don't need mainWindow as there is already a window property that points to the main window (verify this in Interface Builder). Also this looks wrong:
#synthesize mainWindow = mainwindow;
^
W
So dump that and just use the existing window outlet provided by Xcode.
Don't re-create the view controllers if they already exist:
if (self.secondViewController == nil)
{
self.secondViewController = [[SecondViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"SecondViewController"
bundle:nil];
}
self.window.contentView = self.secondViewController.view;

Xcode Storyboard - Transfer of data

I'm new to storyboarding so the answer to this may be simplistic,
I've created a viewController in which a UITextField is present. My test is to transfer the data (text) from that text field into a viewController that is pushed onto the screen.
The coding that i have is as follows:
ViewController1.h -
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import "ViewController2.h"
#interface ViewController1 : UIViewController
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UITextField *inputText;
#end
ViewController1.m
#import "ViewController1.h"
#implementation ViewController
#synthesize inputText;
-(void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender {
if ([[segue identifier] isEqualToString:#"showTextController"]) {
ViewController2 *vc2 = [segue destinationViewController];
vc2.selectedText.text = self.inputText.text;
}
}
#end
ViewController2.h -
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#interface ViewController2 : UIViewController
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UILabel *selectedText;
#end
ViewController2.m
#import "ViewController2.h"
#implementation ViewController2
#synthesize selectedText;
#end
The segue between viewController1 and 2 in storyboard is referred to as 'showTextController'.
Is this the correct coding for something so simple? Do i need to be using 'ViewDidLoad' method along with the prepareForSegue:sender method?
It looks correct to me. In fact, this is simpler than we have had in the past since the storyboard takes care instantiating our view controller objects. One thing to note is that if you're using ARC then you shouldn't be retaining your UILabel.
Hope this helps.

IBActions aren't in File's Owner?

For some reason my IBActions declared in the code aren't in my File's Owner. I've been looking at this for an hour and I can't seem to figure it out.
There's probably a really simple explanation for this. I am probably going to feel dumb. Thanks in advance!
Below is my code.
RootViewController.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import "Sqlite.h"
#import "SecondViewController.h"
#interface RootViewController : UITableViewController {
NSMutableArray *listOfItems;
Sqlite *database;
NSTimer *myTimer;
UITextView *myTextField;
}
- (IBAction)addAlbum;
#property(nonatomic, readonly, retain) UILabel *detailTextLabel;
#end
RootViewController.m
#import "RootViewController.h"
#import "TableViewAppDelegate.h"
#import "DetailViewController.h"
#implementation RootViewController
// If a user adds a photo album
- (IBAction)addAlbum {
SecondViewController *screen = [[SecondViewController alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
screen.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal;
[self presentModalViewController:screen animated:YES];
[screen release];
}
They do show up in the First Responder, however when I link them they do not work. Thanks!
Edit: I want to use these actions in a different XIB (MainWindow.XIB). I have tried adding my actions in each of the .h's files but none are showing up in my MainWindow.XIB.
Make sure your RootViewController.h has been saved.
Open your RootViewController.xib and select File's Owner.
Make sure your RootViewController is selected as the Class in the identity tab.
On the connections tab, you should be able to verify your IBActions.

How to make a program load an web image and show it on a Custom View?

Well, I'm learning how to program on a mac, and I'm tired of searching the for answers, can you guys explain me what I did wrong on my program.
First, I dragged 2 buttons on my window (Load Image, and Unload). Then, I dragged a custom view item and here`s what I did with the Test_Loading_ImagesAppDelegate.h:
#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>
#interface Test_Loading_ImagesAppDelegate : NSView {
NSWindow *window;
IBOutlet NSView *mypicture;
}
- (IBAction)LoadImage: (id)sender;
- (IBAction)Unload: (id)sender;
#property (assign) IBOutlet NSWindow *window;
#end
After that, I linked up things on Interface Builder normally and made the Test_Loading_ImagesAppDelegate.m:
#import "Test_Loading_ImagesAppDelegate.h"
#implementation Test_Loading_ImagesAppDelegate
#synthesize window;
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(NSNotification *)aNotification {
// Insert code here to initialize your application
}
-(IBAction)LoadImage: (id) sender {
NSURL *myurl;
NSImage *image;
NSData *myurldata;
myurl = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://....jpg"];
myurldata = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:myurl];
image = [NSImage initWithData:myurldata];
[mypicture setImage: image];
}
-(IBAction)Unload: (id) sender {
//Well, still thinking how I'm going to do this, and I would like to make another question: If I dealloc the View or something else the image will disappear?
}
#end
Thanks in advance.
Well, after coming here again I've found this http://www.markj.net/iphone-asynchronous-table-image/ it's for iPhone but can be adapted to OS X easily. Thanks.

Checkbox setState:0 on app launch

I'm having a problem with a checkbox. I want to set it to 0 (unchecked) on app launch, but the checkbox is controlled by another class "myClass" for example.
Here's what I did:
I opened Interface Builder and put a checkbox (NSButton) in my window, dragged NSObject in my MainMenu.xib window, renamed it to say "myClass". Added an outlet called "myCheckbox" (NSButton) and linked it to the checkbox I created earlier. Finally, I added some things.
Here's the code for my myClass.m:
#import "myClass.h"
#implementation myClass
- (void) changeState
{
[myCheckbox setState:0];
}
#end
myClass.h
#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>
#interface myClass : NSObject {
IBOutlet NSButton *myCheckbox;
}
- (void) changeState;
#end
Then I made some changes in the AppDelegate files so they execute some things when the app is launched:
#import "UntitledAppDelegate.h"
#import "myClass.h"
#implementation UntitledAppDelegate
#synthesize window;
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(NSNotification *)aNotification {
myClass * someClass = [[myClass alloc] init];
[someClass changeState];
}
#end
UntitledAppDelegate.h:
#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>
#interface UntitledAppDelegate : NSObject <NSApplicationDelegate> {
NSWindow *window;
}
#property (assign) IBOutlet NSWindow *window;
#end
The purpose (if this works) is to set a value to the check box depending on the setting stored in the Defaults file.
The problem might be easy or too simple but I'm only a beginner...
Some help would be appreciated, Thanks !
- (void) awakeFromNib
{
[myCheckbox setState:0];
}
in myClass.m solved it.
