I have used iAd's before but only for apps with a single view controller. But I cannot seem to figure out how to create a global reference to the ad in the AppDelegate and fetch it from there for my separate view controllers (That's what I've read I'm supposed to do).
I've been searching for a tutorial on the matter, but for some reason I can't find anything relevant.
Any hints? Point me in the right direction? :)
TIA!

In applications there is a adddelegate.h and .m file. You add iad in delegate.m file and create reference in other view :
in Appdelegate.h add delegate :
#interface AppDelegate : UIResponder
ADBannerView *bannerView;
#property (nonatomic, retain) ADBannerView *bannerView;
in Appdelegate.m :
#synthesize bannerView;
(BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
bannerView = [[ADBannerView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectZero];
bannerView.requiredContentSizeIdentifiers = [NSSet setWithObjects:ADBannerContentSizeIdentifierLandscape,nil];
bannerView.currentContentSizeIdentifier = ADBannerContentSizeIdentifierLandscape;
bannerView.delegate = self;
}
Now you create reference of Appdelegate in other class viewdidload :
AppDelegate *appdelegate = (AppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication ]delegate];
UIView banner = [[UIView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 480, 32)];
[banner addSubview:appdelegate.bannerView];
[self.view addSubview: banner];

I'm programming a App for iOS 8. I've a problem because i don't want use storyboard, I want to put a .xib file at the first time. Muy problem is that always, after splash be a black screen.
The Class who I want to put after Splash is LoginViewController
At general options, the "Main interface" is white (empty) (if put the name of the class, i've NSException (NSUknownException)).
In the .xib file i'have the files owner connected, and at the right side of the screen i've the name of the class at "Custom Class" (LoginViewController).
My appDelegate.h is: (I try with " #property (strong, nonatomic) LoginViewController *viewController;" too)
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import "LoginViewController.h"
#interface AppDelegate : UIResponder <UIApplicationDelegate>
#property (strong, nonatomic) UIWindow *window;
#property (strong, nonatomic) UIViewController *viewController;
#end
My appDelegate.m is: (i try a lot of variants)
#import "AppDelegate.h"
#import "LoginViewController.h"
#interface AppDelegate ()
#end
#implementation AppDelegate
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
self.viewController = [[LoginViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"LoginViewController" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:self.viewController];
navController.navigationBarHidden = YES;
self.window.rootViewController = navController;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
- (void)applicationWillResignActive:(UIApplication *)application {
// Sent when the application is about to move from active to inactive state. This can occur for certain types of temporary interruptions (such as an incoming phone call or SMS message) or when the user quits the application and it begins the transition to the background state.
// Use this method to pause ongoing tasks, disable timers, and throttle down OpenGL ES frame rates. Games should use this method to pause the game.
}
- (void)applicationDidEnterBackground:(UIApplication *)application {
// Use this method to release shared resources, save user data, invalidate timers, and store enough application state information to restore your application to its current state in case it is terminated later.
// If your application supports background execution, this method is called instead of applicationWillTerminate: when the user quits.
}
- (void)applicationWillEnterForeground:(UIApplication *)application {
// Called as part of the transition from the background to the inactive state; here you can undo many of the changes made on entering the background.
}
- (void)applicationDidBecomeActive:(UIApplication *)application {
// Restart any tasks that were paused (or not yet started) while the application was inactive. If the application was previously in the background, optionally refresh the user interface.
}
- (void)applicationWillTerminate:(UIApplication *)application {
// Called when the application is about to terminate. Save data if appropriate. See also applicationDidEnterBackground:.
}

}
*/
#end
Someone can help me please. I'm going crazyyyyy.
Thanks a lot.
The solution was put this windows like init frame:
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
// That was the solution
self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
// That was the solution
self.viewController = [[LoginViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"LoginViewController" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:self.viewController];
navController.navigationBarHidden = YES;
self.window.rootViewController = navController;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
Thanks
I'm having a problem with storing and accessing objects with NSmutable array in app delegate. I have tried methods form other websites and stack overlay pages but yet no solution. I want to able to access the array data in another view. Currently nothing is working for me.
Heres my code.
AppDelegate.h :
#interface AppDelegate : UIResponder <UIApplicationDelegate>
{
NSMutableArray* sharedArray;
}
#property (nonatomic, retain) NSMutableArray* sharedArray;
ViewController.h :
#import "AppDelegate.h"
-(void)viewDidLoad{
AppDelegate *appDelegate = (AppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
NSMutableArray *model = appDelegate.sharedArray;
NSMutableDictionary *dict = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
[dict setObject:#"hello" forKey:#"title"];
[dict setObject:#"urlhere" forKey:#"thumbnail"];
[model addObject:dict];
NSLog(#"submitted to array: %#",model);
}
Are you, at any point, initializing the sharedArray? The array must be instantiated before you can add objects to it. For example:
AppDelegate.m
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
// Override point for customization after application launch.
self.sharedArray = [NSMutableArray array];
return YES;
}
Having done that, now attempts to add objects to this array from your view controllers should succeed.
Unrelated, but you should not define instance variables for your properties. Let the compiler synthesize that for you, e.g.:
AppDelegate.h:
#interface AppDelegate : UIResponder <UIApplicationDelegate>
// {
// NSMutableArray* sharedArray;
// }
#property (nonatomic, retain) NSMutableArray* sharedArray;
#end
What you have is technically acceptable, but it's inadvisable because of possible confusion between this sharedArray instance variable and the what the compiler will synthesize for you (e.g. if you don't have a #synthesize line, the compiler will automatically create an instance variable called _sharedArray, with a leading underscore, for you). Even if you had a #synthesize line that ensured that the instance variable was correct, having the explicitly declared instance variable is simply redundant.
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;
I have an app with ads banner (inner-active) in every view controller (4 views) and i keep getting this error after 2-3-4 minutes that my app is running:
'NSRangeException', reason: '*** -[__NSCFString substringToIndex:]: Range or index out of bounds'
My app is crashing & i can't find the solution for that, but i know for sure that is something with my AD banner issue cau's when i comment the ad banner code everything works great. i can assume that it happens when new request is loading on the banner.
This is the code i'm using for the AD banner:
.h file:
#property (nonatomic, retain) UIView *adBanner;
.m file:
Did synthesize & import for what i need and after that:
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
CGRect frame = CGRectMake(0, 430, 320, 50);
self.adBanner = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:frame];
[self.view addSubview:self.adBanner];
// Display ad
if (![InneractiveAd DisplayAd:#"iOS_Test" withType:IaAdType_Banner withRoot:adBanner withReload:60 withParams:optionalParams])
{
adBanner.hidden = YES;
}
}
This is my AppDelegate (don't know why but maybe it something with that too?):
.h file:
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#class RootViewController;
#interface AppDelegate : UIResponder <UIApplicationDelegate>
#property (strong, nonatomic) UIWindow *window;
#property (nonatomic, strong) RootViewController *rootViewController;
#end
.m file:
#import "AppDelegate.h"
#import "RootViewController.h"
#implementation AppDelegate
#synthesize window = _window;
#synthesize rootViewController;
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
// Override point for customization after application launch.
self.rootViewController = [[RootViewController alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:NULL];
[self.window addSubview:self.rootViewController.view];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
I realy don't understand what it could be and how it related to NSCFString :\
Thanks.
Not sure if you got an answer to this but I was getting it with this line of code when there was no internet connection.
NSString *value = [serverOutput substringWithRange:NSMakeRange(2, [serverOutput length] - 2 * 2)];
I had to protect it with a check to the internet connection and an if then statement
I have a ViewController and an UIView and would like to do KVO on an UIView property of type CGRect. For some reason it not working as it should.
My code looks like this:
#interface MyView : UIView
#property (nonatomic, assign) CGRect myRect;
#end
#implementation MyView
#synthesize myRect;
...
- (void)touchesMoved:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
...
//Changing structures values
myRect.origin.x+=moveVector.x;
myRect.origin.y+=moveVector.y;
//assigning new structure
[self setMyRect:CGRectMake(20, 20, 50, 50)];
//Both doesn't call
}
I want to observe the CGRect with my viewController. Not sure how strict i should be with MVC here. Btw the CGRect in MyView is just a visible square, which i can move around, so i would say its not a model and should stay in MyView. Please correct em if iam wrong.
Here is my ViewController:
#class MyView;
#interface MyViewController : UIViewController
#property (nonatomic, retain) MyView *overlayView;
#end
#implementation MyViewController
#synthesize overlayView;
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
overlayView = [[CameraOverlayView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 480)];
[overlayView addObserver:self
forKeyPath:#"myRect"
options:(NSKeyValueObservingOptionNew | NSKeyValueObservingOptionOld)
context:NULL];
/* [self addObserver:self
forKeyPath:#"overlayView.myRect"
options:(NSKeyValueObservingOptionNew | NSKeyValueObservingOptionOld)
context:NULL];*/
self.view = overlayView;
}
-(void)observeValueForKeyPath:(NSString *)keyPath ofObject:(id)object
change:(NSDictionary *)change context:(void*)context {
if( [keyPath isEqualToString:#"myRect"] ) {
NSLog(#"observeValueForKeyPath");
CGRect rect = [[change valueForKey:NSKeyValueChangeNewKey] CGRectValue];
}
}
observeValueForKeyPath is never called, regardless of how i change myRect in MyView.
setMyRect: crashes during runtime and i dont really know why. I though synthesize would take care of setters and getters as well as the Keyvalues and changes.
Iam also not sure which way of addObserver: is the better way, as i commented out my second attempt to register an Observer.
What iam doing wrong? Isn't it possible to Observe structures? Or only with self written setters and getter?
Can it be that UIView is not KVC-Compliant, if so, why does this work?
Callback by KVO on a UIView frame property
Thanks for any help :-)
My solution is, Iam using a delegate.
The Controller is my delegate for view, i think its the way it should be,
otherwise UIView would be KVC-Complaint.
