Bold & Non-Bold Text In A Single UILabel?

How would it be possible to include both bold and non-bold text in a uiLabel?

I'd rather not use a UIWebView.. I've also read this may be possible using NSAttributedString but I have no idea how to use that. Any ideas?

Apple achieves this in several of their apps; Examples Screenshot:

How to recognize touch events using jQuery in Safari for iPad? Is it possible?

Is it possible to recognize touch events on the iPad's Safari browser using jQuery?

I used mouseOver and mouseOut events in a web application. Are there any similar events for the iPad's Safari browser since there are no events like mouseOut, mouseMove?

iOS detect if user is on an iPad

I have an app that runs on the iPhone and iPod Touch, it can run on the Retina iPad and everything but there needs to be one adjustment. I need to detect if the current device is an iPad.

convert UIImage to NSData

I am using this code in my app which will help me to send a image.

However, I have an image view with an image. I have no file in appbundle but have the image in my side. How can I change the below code ? Can anyone tell me how can I convert myimage to NSData ?

// Attach an image to the email
NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"rainy" ofType:@"jpg"];
NSData *myData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:path];
[picker addAttachmentData:myData mimeType:@"image/jpeg" fileName:@"rainy"];

iPhone App Icons - Exact Radius?

I'm trying to create the icon for my iPhone app, but don't know how to get the exact radius that the iPhone's icons use. I've searched and searched for a tutorial or a template but can't find one.

I'm sure that I'm just a moron, but how do you get the rounded corners exactly right with your icon from Illustrator or Photoshop?

Edit:

What's the radius for the Retina iPad?

Setting an image for a UIButton in code

How do you set the image for a UIButton in code?

I have this:

UIButton *btnTwo = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect]; 
btnTwo.frame = CGRectMake(40, 140, 240, 30);
[btnTwo setTitle:@"vc2:v1" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[btnTwo addTarget:self action:@selector(goToOne) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[self.view addSubview:btnTwo];

but don't see what will set the image for it.

Any help appreciated, Thanks // :)

Navigation bar appear over the views with new iOS7 SDK

CGRect cgRect1 = [[UIScreen mainScreen] applicationFrame];


UISearchBar  *mySearchBar = [[UISearchBar alloc] 
               initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, cgRect.size.width, 40)];

mySearchBar.autoresizingMask = 
              UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth|UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight ;


UITableView  *myTableView = [[UITableView alloc] 
     initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 40, cgRect.size.width, cgRect.size.height-40)];

myTableView.autoresizingMask = 
               UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth|UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight;


[self.view addSubview:mySearchBar];
[self.view addSubview:myTableView];

In the earlier versions it is working correctly. The search bar is appearing below the statusbar and navigation bar. The tableview is appearing below the search bar

But when I run this on Xcode 5 sdk iOS 7, the search bar is not visible (I think its placed under the status bar and navigation bar) , and also the navigation bar is appearing over the table view.

Will it be fixed with iOS 7 stable release ?

Or is it the problem of my coding ?

Or should we handle it by adding the y (y = statubar height + nav bar height) value for iOS 7 ?

I recently downloaded Xcode 5 DP to test my apps in iOS 7. The first thing I noticed and confirmed is that my view's bounds is not always resized to account for the status bar and navigation bar.

In viewDidLayoutSubviews, I print the view's bounds:

{{0, 0}, {320, 568}}

This results in my content appearing below the navigation bar and status bar.

I know I could account for the height myself by getting the main screen's height, subtracting the status bar's height and navigation bar's height, but that seems like unnecessary extra work.

Has anyone else experienced this issue?

UPDATE:

I've found a solution for this specific problem. Set the navigation bar's translucent property to NO:

self.navigationController.navigationBar.translucent = NO;

This will fix the view from being framed underneath the navigation bar and status bar.

However, I have not found a fix for the case when you want the navigation bar to be translucent. For instance, viewing a photo full screen, I wish to have the navigation bar translucent, and the view to be framed underneath it. That works, but when I toggle showing/hiding the navigation bar, I've experienced even stranger results. The first subview (a UIScrollView) gets its bounds y origin changed every time.

To ARC or not to ARC? What are the pros and cons? [closed]

I've yet to use ARC, since the majority of the code in the project I'm working on at the moment was written pre-iOS 5.0.

I was just wondering, does the convenience of not retaining/releasing manually (and presumably more reliable code that comes as a result?) outweigh any 'cost' of using ARC? What are your experiences of ARC, and would you recommend it?

So:

• How much benefit can ARC bring to a project?
• Does ARC have a cost like garbage collection in Java?
• Have you been using ARC and if so, how have you found it so far?

iPhone - Grand Central Dispatch main thread

I have been using with success, grand central dispatch in my apps, but I was wondering what is the real advantage of using something like this:

dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{ ... do stuff

or even

dispatch_sync(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{ ... do stuff

I mean, in both cases you are firing a block to be executed on the main thread, exactly where the app runs and this will not help to reduce the load. In the first case you don't have any control when the block will run. I have seen cases of blocks being executed half a second after you fire them. The second case, it is similar to

[self doStuff];

right?

I wonder what do you guys think.

What is the iPad user agent?

From what I gather, the iPad is using iPhone OS, but with a different screen resolution from the iPhone and iPod touch. So many sites may have to change their user agent detection to adapt to the iPad.

So, can anyone with access to the iPad or the iPad SDK give us the user-agent string?

iOS - How to get device make and model?

I was wondering if it's possible to determine what kind of iPhone (for example) the currentdevice is? I know it's possible to get the model through
NSString *deviceType = [[UIDevice currentDevice] model];
which will just return whether I have an "iPhone" or an "iPod", BUT I was wondering if it's possible to detect/know if I have an iPhone 3GS vs. and iPhone 4 vs. an iPhone 4S (in actuality, all I really want to do is determine if I have a 3G or not, because I'm doing fairly graphics intensive stuff).

So yeah, let me know, thank you!

Could not instantiate class named MKMapView

I may be doing something really stupid here as I've done it before and it worked and now...

Created a new iPad project, in the details view I added a MKMapView, added the MapKit.framework to the project, added the property / etc. to the header. Go to run the project and get a SIGABRT with

**Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidUnarchiveOperationException', reason: 'Could not instantiate class named MKMapView'

I found http://mithin.in/2009/06/22/using-iphone-sdk-mapkit-framework-a-tutorial/ but, like I said, I've already added framework. What am I missing?

UITableView backgroundColor always gray on iPad

When I set the backgroundColor for my UITableView it works fine on iPhone (device and simulator) but NOT on the iPad simulator. Instead I get a light gray background for any color I set including groupTableViewBackgroundColor.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a new navigation-based project.
2. Open RootViewController.xib and set the table view style to "Grouped".
3. Add this responder to the RootViewController:
   
   

   - (void)viewDidLoad {
   [super viewDidLoad];
   self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
   }

4. Select Simulator SDK 3.2, build and run.
5. You will get a black background (device and simulator).
6. Select your target in the project tree.
7. Click on Project : Upgrade Current Target for iPad.
8. Build and run.
9. You will get a light gray background.
10. Revert the table view style to Plain and you will get a black background.

Thanks for your help!
