[MonoTouch] NSNotificationCenter.DefaultCenter.AddObserver - iOS5 problem
Hi everyone,
I'm just throwing this out there to see if anyone has a similar experience.
We have an existing iOS4 app ~ it's been live for a year ~ that crashes on
startup in iOS5 b7
Debugging it shows that all our notificationcenter objects are null when we
try to remove them (whereas in iOS4 they are obviously fine). We are using
the [Obsolete]AddObserver(string,action) method to 'create' the observers
and they work fine in iOS4.
Example code:
NSObject ObserverDownloadableMagsUpdated;
public void ViewWillAppear()
{
ObserverDownloadableMagsUpdated = NSNotificationCenter.DefaultCenter
.AddObserver(Constants.Notification_DownloadableMagsReceived
, notification =
{ /* does stuff */ }
and
public void ViewWillDisappear()
{
NSNotificationCenter.DefaultCenter.RemoveObserver(
ObserverDownloadableMagsUpdated);
in iOS5, ObserverDownloadableMagsUpdated is null and the RemoveObserver call
causes a crash in ViewWillDisappear.
Thoughts?

Re: [MonoTouch] Twitter without UI - only code
Apple's doco says: Although you may perform Twitter requests on behalf of the user, *you cannot append text, images, or URLs to tweets without the user’s knowledge*. Hence, you can set the initial text and other content before presenting the tweet to the user but cannot change the tweet after the user views it. All of the methods used to set the content of the tweet return a Boolean value. The methods return NO if the content doesn’t fit in the tweet or the view was already presented to the user and the tweet can no longer be changed. https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/Twitter/Reference/TWTweetSheetViewControllerClassRef/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40010943 Sorry!

Re: [MonoTouch] Pushing Monotouch.Dialog.DialogViewController - No back button
Felix,
DialogViewController ctor has an optional parameter pushing, if you pass
true then the back button will show.
In my case i subclass DialogViewController, so i've got this - notice the
third param in the base() call
public ExhibitorsScreen () : base (UITableViewStyle.Plain, null, true)
{
EnableSearch = true; // requires ExhibitorElement to implement Matches()
}
If you are creating a DialogViewController in-line with a RootElement, *
pushing* is second arg.

Mostly the problem is that the previous view did not have Title set, mine

I'm running out of ideas. Has anyone run into this?

along this road:
-Have a queue with the 100 requests.
-Start a background thread with that keeps an eye on how many requests
are in progress
-Inside the thread start the async requests one by one untill you have
reached your limit.
-When each of the requests call back update the status of how many

-End the whole thing when you are done processing.

Subject: [MonoTouch] Threading best practice
Hi,
I need to do about 100 WebClient.DownloadString(x) as fast as
possible.
Threading is not my strongest side, so I ask for your help.
What is best practice in MT for doing 100 webrequest as fast as possible?
My idea was something like (I haven't tested it)...
private void StartWebRequets () {
for (int i = 0; i 100; i++) {
ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(DoQueryWeb, i);
}
}
private void DoQueryWeb(object state) {
int i = state as int;
WebClient client = new WebClient();
string html = client.DownloadString(my url);
InvokeOnMainThread(delegate {
// Do main thread stuff here
});
}
My worries is that firing 100 webrequests will kill the app. How would you
solve it? Can I tell ThreadPool to only do like 3-4 at a time?
Thanks!!
Mojo

Re: [MonoTouch] MonoTouch.Dialog Pull-to-Refresh
Brett,
short answer: attach the handler in the ctor.
TL;DR
the code at DialogViewController.cs line 63 is this (MonoTouch.Dialog
source is on github https://github.com/migueldeicaza/MonoTouch.Dialog/):
if (tableView != null)
throw new ArgumentException (You should set the handler before the
controller is shown);
*
*
i guess adding the handler after the tableView has been created is too late
for the MT.D core to wire it up
p.s. i'm not sure you need the NSTimer - i think in Miguel's sample that's
just to create a delay to simulate network activity. in your implementation
just do work to reload your data and call ReloadComplete() when you are
finished.
p.p.s. the MWC app sample implements pull-to-refresh in News Twitter
screens, also on
githubhttps://github.com/xamarin/mobile-samples/blob/master/MWC/MWC.iOS/Screens/Common/News/NewsScreen.cs

The Table displays just fine. It's only when I add the RefreshRequested

Does anyone have any experience with this?

Re: [MonoTouch] Newbie: iPad application and incompatible target frameworks :(
So if i reference dll's in MonoDevelop -BUT- the project is a simple .NET4.0 class library..then there should be no problems Incorrect - sorry :-( To avoid confusion, **don't reference DLLs at all** (there are caveats to this if they're already built for the correct platform, but for now just don't do it). Instead, add the .NET code (that's in your DLLs) to your MonoTouch and Mono-for-Android solutions, so that they are compiled along with your MT or MfA project. so my MT solution will have a number of projects in it - one being the MonoTouch iPad project. Yes!! There are a few ways to include/share c# code projects (none of which are currently 'perfect'). 1) create a new MonoTouch Library Project/Mono for Android Class Library (csproj) file and add all the .cs files to it. 2) 'add as link' all the .cs files into your MT or MfA project (or another Library Project) You could download and check out our MWC Conference sample app from https://github.com/xamarin/mobile-samples/tree/master/MWC which shares a Core Project across iOS/Android/WindowsPhone using these methods. It does NOT reference a pre-built DLL ~ it includes the same c# files in each different solution so they get compiled for the specific platform. Downsides of this approach include refactoring in one solution will result in changing the shared code and possibly breaking on the other platforms. Something to watch out for. HTH craig p.s. if that's right, then will MT even consider changing it so that the iPad app can reference those projects in the future, instead of the .dll's ? there is such as thing as Portable Libraries but that is a way off, so for now you need to compile against the target platform.

Re: [MonoTouch] Newbie: iPad application and incompatible target frameworks :(
I wouldn't characterize it as fragile - there are many large scale projects out there sharing massive amounts of code across platforms. And it sure as heck beats re-writing the code in Objective-C and Java! So now this means I can't do any of that :( well, no - you can still do *most* of that. Once you set-up the workflow it should work similarly to how you described (you can still work on your core and unit tests as you did - however you need to bring in the dependencies _as code_, so they'll compile in MT MD). A MonoTouch Library Project isn't some magic thing to be worried about - it's a regular csproj with a specific project-type-guid that tells it to compile against the MT profile of .NET that Sebastien mentioned. or i'm now into a world of pain trying to 'port' those repos Many open-source libraries just recompile or else have been forked for MT or MfA already. Json, Zipfiles, etc have all been done before. If they don't just recompile because of a compatibility issue, then bringing in the DLL wouldn't have helped you anyway - it still wouldn't have worked. I agree - it _is_ a little more effort... but then leveraging those open-source libraries in Objective-C or Java is going to be a *real* PITA. Are people just throwing everything into the one MT project no no no - you can build sophisticated multi-project solutions in MT and MfA just like a normal .NET project... but with the added bonus that if you do a bit of set-up work and planning you can deploy to iOS (phones + tablets), Android and Windows Phone 7 (throw in Silverlight and Windows 8 if you really want to get tricky and do a bit more planning). All you need is a couple of 'cloned' csproj files with different config (if you look at MWC, do a diff on MWC.Core.MT.csproj and MWC.Core.MD.csproj) - and to keep them in sync ongoing. As I said, it's not perfect (yet) but it works and gives you a massive head-start in deploying your .NET expertise on iOS Android. You could also check-out Touch.Unithttps://github.com/spouliot/Touch.Unitand Andr.Unit https://github.com/spouliot/Andr.Unit to extend your unit-testing onto the device platforms. I hope you can get the multiple-project mechanism working. Post if you have any other questions.

Re: [MonoTouch] MT.Dialog iPad / Universal
the MWC sample uses the same MT.Dialog screens in iPhone iPad - on the
phone they're fullscreen (obviously) and on the iPad they sit in a
SplitView (for example: the Speakers and Sessions lists).
Pretty much the only special handling required was in the Element.Selected
method - for iPhone we push a new controller, for iPad we have passed a
reference to the splitView into the ctor, and we trigger the new screen
load from there.
if (splitView != null)
splitView.ShowSession(session.ID);
else {
var sds = new MWC.iOS.Screens.iPhone.Sessions.SessionDetailsScreen
(session.ID);
sds.Title = Session;
dvc.ActivateController (sds);
}

do you pass into the constructor of the FirstViewController() I tried using
FirstViewController(this) but it don't wanna play for me, so must be doing
something daft! If I create a parameterless default constructor on the
FirstViewController class, the controls on the class are always null - so
fvc.Title returns null.
eg.
*FirstViewController declaration:*
public FirstViewController (IntPtr handle) : base (handle)
{
TabBarItem.Image = UIImage.FromBundle (Images/first);
}
*Inside Monotouch.dialog DialogViewController:*
var fvc = new FirstViewController ({what_goes_here?!});
fvc.Title= hi mom!;
dvc.ActivateController(fvc);
I really like being able to use Monotouch.dialog, but love also being able
to use Storyboards to design more fiddly screens. I can call
Monotouch.dialog controllers fine from within Storyboard view controller
though.

Re: [MonoTouch] Using NS types instead of .NET types?
Hey, I don't know any pros/cons OTTOMH but there are some parts of the API (exposed by MonoTouch) that still require NSStrings (even NSArrays), so you will occasionally see them, even in examples and such. Therefore it is worthwhile being aware of their existence and how to use them. However, from a code maintenance perspective, I'd argue that sticking to one type system is probably better in the long term (regardless of performance/stability issues; though I doubt there are any such issues) -- just like any other 'coding standard' that is intended to make code sharing/debugging/maintenance easier.

Re: [MonoTouch] DialogViewController displays blank until touched
my personal preference is to keep UI stuff together, close to the UI. in the service you might not always be modifying the UI on callback - maybe you just save to a database or something, or you conditionally modify the UI only under certain conditions.

Re: [MonoTouch] SharpZipLib performances
a-ha! context :) for the record, I have used SharpZipLib to decompress 200-500Mb *downloads* (post-install), which makes a lot of sense for certain applications (say, a magazine reader). I don't think you are getting much value from ZIPping something you ship in the IPA. As previously mentioned, the IPA's contents will be unpacked into the app home directory on the device: so if you've compressed it, uses 200Mb (but you need to unzip) and if you don't it's obviously taking up the full 700Mb - PLUS another 700mb when you've decompressed it into a read/write file location. The problem of 3 mins to unzip seems to override any other consideration tho' - if your app doesn't start-up and be usable quickly, the app's size doesn't really matter so much? So i'd definitely consider just bundling the full-size file... anyway, your call :-) Now, regardless of what you decide there, you also need to know this: do NOT put the 700Mb sqlite file in /Documents/ as Apple will reject your app within seconds of it hitting the approval process! How do I know this? I followed exactly the same pattern (copy out a pre-built file from the bundle into /Documents/ - and it was only 2.3Mb!!). Also - there is that plist property that lets users access /Documents/ from within iTunes... you may not have it enabled *now*, but if you wanted to in a future version of your app, you'll be 'screwed' if your main database is located there too... Why does it get rejected immediately? It violates the *iOS Data Storage Guidelines* https://developer.apple.com/icloud/documentation/data-storage/ Point #1 - your data is not user-generated, and it can be re-created from the bundle. You might then continue reading Point #2, and think you should put your sqlite file in Application_Home/Library/Caches/ BUT there is a process called 'Cleaning http://www.marco.org/2011/10/13/ios5-caches-cleaning' whereby iOS will (under extremely low storage situations) delete the contents of /Caches/ without asking! The solution I've gone for (and which I think is what Apple approves of) is storing the file in Application_Home/Library/ (or in a subfolder that you create there, but NOT /Caches/) AND following Point #4 whereby you mark the file with SetSkipBackupAttribute(). So what does this mean? Your 700Mb file is safe from being deleted, is in a location that will never be exposed to the user, and is read-write. Good, right? HOWEVER it also won't be backed-up (not to an iTunes PC nor to iCloud). That's fine - unless your user deletes and restores your app, or buys a new device and does a backup/restore to move everything from the old hardware to the new... your app (with prefs and whatever was in /Documents/) will be copied across - but your 700Mb read-write sqlite database won't be! In your FinishedLaunching you are probably doing a 'check' to see if the database has already been moved (and moving/uncompressing if required) - the trick is to decouple this from any data that _is_ backed-up (so don't store a flag in userprefs, or in a file) -- because the flag that says 'sqlite file is loaded' would be backed-up and restored, but the file itself wouldn't be (ugh, confusing eh? i'm only explaining all this 'cause i made the mistake myself, thinking a boolean prefs-check was faster than a System.IO.File.Exists). I think the physical file-exists check is safest (open to other suggestions tho). if it doesn't exist, unpack from the bundle all-over-again... also, don't store any user-generated data in that same 700Mb sqlite. Any user-entered data should be in a separate sqlite that DOES get backed-up (too bad about FK dependencies) unless you want to get into an approval-argument with Apple... clear as mud? hope it makes some sense... after two rejections my app did finally get approved with SetSkipBackupAttribute used. but if Apple was concerned about my 2.3Mb file, they're sure to raise an eyebrow at 700Mb! let me know if you have questions/need clarification ;-) HTH cd On Fri, Apr 13, 2012 at 6:10 PM, johnHolmes francesco.colo...@gmail.comwrote: Nic Wise wrote Keep in mind that the file that is downloaded to the users device - .ipa - is a ZIP file already, so you will not benefit from double compression. If you need to keep them all together,then try using store, see what the size of the resulting .ipa is, and the speed difference. Good point. I'll try to explain why I need to compress the file prior to the .ipa. The file is a sqlite db. It's uncompressed size is ~700mb. I need read/write permission on that file. If I'm not wrong, all content file stored in the bundle is read only, so i need, once the application is installed, to copy the original db to a writable folder. A good candidate seems to be the /Document folder. At this point the user will have 2 copy of the file, one compressed and one uncompressed, readable and writable, in the /Document folder.

other photo/camera metadata, *just* the image itself.
var documentsDirectory =

Re: [MonoTouch] Monotouch.Dialog.MessageElement not full height the first time it is displayed
Hey Felix, From memory MT.D custom element sizing can be done two ways - implementing IElementSizing on the Element (which I am assuming what is happening here, as MessageElement is built-in) OR implementing CreateSizingSource on the DialogViewController subclass and returning something that responds to GetHeightForRow. I can't remember the exact details OTTOMH but I vaguely recall having an issue with IElementSizing on a custom element I once wrote (similar effect, rows show as default height); which I was able to work around by writing a custom DialogViewController.SizingSource instead. If you don't have any other success, you might try implementing that too; in case it helps (as a last resort :) ... this was a little while ago for me. Also - you mention the simulator is iOS 5.0 -- is the iPad also 5.0 or 5.1? I have seen some little inconsistencies introduced in 5.1 so it'd be interesting to know if the OS versions are exactly the same. -cd On Mon, Apr 30, 2012 at 9:45 AM, Felix Collins fe...@intranel.com wrote: I have a weird problem with a list of message elements running on the simulator.

reading everything related I can find, I still don't know why they're
happening or how to fix them. They are both generated by the same line,
which is marked below by the comment THIS IS THE PROBLEM LINE RIGHT HERE!
I apologize in advance for my ignorance and the many other mistakes I have
no doubt made (and also that this post is kind of long; I thought including
all the code would be best, though). I'm having a blast learning to combine
what I've gotten to work from following tutorials and gallery projects, but
it's a slow, clumsy process sometimes. I wouldn't trade the experience for
anything, but I have a high tolerance for my own knuckleheadedness. :-)
Anyway, the two errors I'm getting are:

Re: [MonoTouch] How to keep selected (element)row highlighted
The MWC sample does that - both for the master list (landscape view) and
also the mini 'speaker list' for sessions that you can see in this
screenshot.
https://raw.github.com/xamarin/mobile-samples/master/MWC/Screenshots/iOS/Sessions_iPad.PNG
the relevant pieces of code are :
* in the SpeakersTableViewSource.cs, we DON'T deselect, so the blue
highlight will remain
if (AppDelegate.IsPhone) tableView.DeselectRow (indexPath, true);
* in SessionView.cs we set the selection to a particular row when loading
if (AppDelegate.IsPad) {
// set the highlight for whatever speaker is showing in the other column
(only iPad, obviously)
if (speakerTable.IndexPathForSelectedRow == null)
speakerTable.SelectRow (NSIndexPath.FromRowSection (0,0), true,

Re: [MonoTouch] How to keep selected (element)row highlighted
MWC uses MonoTouch.Dialog extensively!
Looking at the MT.D code, the Element.Selected method is usually
implemented like this:
public override void Selected (DialogViewController dvc, UITableView
tableView, NSIndexPath indexPath)
{
// dostuff
tableView.DeselectRow (indexPath, true);
}
If you create a custom Element for your app and implement RowSelected
without 'DeselectRow' it should work. You can probably also just subclass
the Elements you're already using and just override this one method... you
might want to make it conditional so that on the iPhone it DOES deselect.
MT.D is pretty extensible (and the source is available too). I'd be
surprised if you had to re-write as a UITableView...

Craig,
Unfortunately, MWC does not use Monotouch.Dialog: it uses its own
UITableView which gives a finer control over things.
My Master is a DialogViewController, which is also available on the
iPhone with some minor conditional stuff, mostly to differentaite
between the iPhone and iPad paradigm.
I can highlight the entry at NSIndexParth.FromRowSection(0,0) at initial
loading time, but fail to keep the selection highlighted whenever an
entry is tapped.
Here's what I've got to handle this:
* in the Dialog Constructor:
if (AppDelegate.IsPad)
Dvc.OnSelection += DvcOnOnSelection;
* and the DvcOnSelection method:
private void DvcOnOnSelection(NSIndexPath nsIndexPath)
{
Dvc.TableView.SelectRow(
Dvc.TableView.IndexPathForSelectedRow,
true,
UITableViewScrollPosition.None);
}
This method is called whenever a row is tapped, but it does not
preserve nor force the selection color.
Any ideas to preserve the selected color in Monotouch.Dialog?
It would be a pity if I had to recode the existing iPhone controller as
a lower level TableViewController on the Ipad...

Re: [MonoTouch] Need help with UITableView
Possibly you are using a UITableViewController or a Monotouch.Dialog.DialogViewController as the basis of the screen - both of these have a UITableView 'built in' that uses up the entire screen space, which is why the rows appear as you described. This is kinda their expected behavior. Create a *UIViewController* instead and add all the controls to it, specifying the Frame of each such that they're laid-out as you have shown, * including* a UITableView. Using MT.D is a little tricky in this scenario, as DialogViewController does want to use the entire screen. A normal table with a UITableViewSource will probably be easier in this scenario...

So far so good there. My problem is with the overall UI layout. What I'm trying to achieve is a layout where there's a logo graphic at the top of the screen, then a text label, then a search bar, then the populated UITableView cells, then a footer graphic, and then a row of buttons (I'll attach a bad mockup to this message so you can see what I'm shooting for). I'm able to place all the elements on the screen where I want them, but the problem is that data-populated UITableView cells, instead of just appearing in the middle of the screen as desired, they appear from the top of the screen to the bottom, behind the other UI elements on the screen. I feel like there's probably something really simple that I'm missing (as has proven to be the case in the past), but I haven't found any information or examples that address my specific issue (although I've seen actual apps that appear to do it). So how do I achieve the UI functionality that I'm searching for, where the data-populated cells appear only in the middle of the screen?

Re: [MonoTouch] Twitter without UI - only code
Ah, right, setEditinghttp://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#DOCUMENTATION/UIKit/Reference/UIViewController_Class/Reference/Reference.html isn't a Twitter framework method, it's inherited from UIViewController. Its doco states: Subclasses that use an edit-done button must override this method to change their view to an editable state Since the TWTweetComposeViewController doesn't use 'edit-done' as its UI, setEditing isn't used (I guess).

I searched Miguels tweetstation code and there is no reference to monotouch.twitter and TWTweetComposeViewController if you read the Apple docs description on TWTweetComposeViewController : *The TWTweetComposeViewController class presents a view to the user to compose a tweet. Although you may perform Twitter requests on behalf of the user, you cannot append text, images, or URLs to tweets without the user’s knowledge. Hence, you can set the initial text and other content before presenting the tweet to the user but cannot change the tweet after the user views it. All of the methods used to set the content of the tweet return a Boolean value. The methods return NO if the content doesn’t fit in the tweet or if the view was already presented to the user and the tweet can no longer be changed. * Indeed the last sentence would indicate that even though the user can cancel the tweet entirely, they are still allowed the ability to modify it on the view.

Re: [MonoTouch] Checking local network availability
Hey, not 100% sure I know what you're asking here, but I'll take a shot 1. Apple basically requires that your app doesn't crash. They will test on a device without network, and if it crashes (because of bad code, or startup time exceeds the 10sec limit) they will fail your app. So: you need to do some quick stuff to get your app started-up and displaying something, and kick off something in the background to check network availability. Show a message about requiring network connection if it fails (eg. even App Store does this http://twitpic.com/9twli1 ) 2. Check at least on startup and whenever the app comes to the foreground (they may have gone off to Settings to enable the network, then returned to your app!). There is a Reachability.cs class that you can use, which is based on a Apple sample (SO refs follow) http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1961341/check-for-internet-access-with-monotouch http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5081178/how-to-use-miguels-reachability-classes it is implemented in the MWC sample app https://github.com/xamarin/mobile-samples/tree/master/MWC HTH -craig On Thu, Jun 7, 2012 at 4:41 PM, rnendel11 rnende...@gmail.com wrote: Quick questions 1.

What I'd like to do is use the map image (with each region having a different fill color for all the counties in that region) and then draw the region outline using Core Graphics custom drawn shapes with a transparent stroke and fill, and then use an appropriate event handler when a shape is tapped. I have a couple concerns about this approach. First, I've only used images in images views and custom buttons so far, and I've drawn shapes with simple CG techniques. But I don't know how to combine a UIImageView with a CG drawing context. Is there a way to do that and then draw the shapes over the image view? Or do I need to place the image in the CG drawing and then draw the shapes over that image? How is that done? My second concern is drawing the region shapes themselves. I'm envisioning a lot of painstaking point-by-point trial and error between the code and the simulator for review. (I'm doing everything programmatically and not using IB at all in this project.)

Re: [MonoTouch] Retrieving EXIF (GPS) data from UIImage
Just to clarify, you can't get this info from a UIImage object, because
that object is just for loading/displaying images.
You *can* get the info direct from an image *file* (with an NSUrl
reference) using the ImageIO framework (as per that example you linked to).
Here's the MonoTouch equiv...
// Ensure you have these 'using'
using MonoTouch.Foundation;
using MonoTouch.UIKit;
using MonoTouch.CoreFoundation;
using MonoTouch.ImageIO;
// Then put this in your code somewhere
var url = new NSUrl(myPhoto.JPG, false); // could be an NSUrl to asset
lib...
CGImageSource myImageSource;
myImageSource = CGImageSource.FromUrl (url, null);
var ns = new NSDictionary();
var imageProperties = myImageSource.CopyProperties(ns, 0);
var width = imageProperties[CGImageProperties.PixelWidth];
var height = imageProperties[CGImageProperties.PixelHeight];
Console.WriteLine(Dimensions: {0}x{1}, width, height);
// Output all teh things
Console.WriteLine(imageProperties.DescriptionInStringsFileFormat)

Re: [MonoTouch] Setting HighlightedTextColor when UITableViewCellSelectionStyle.None is used
ah okay - so what is your goal? just to implement a custom 'selected' cell
appearance?
You said: Note: Setting SelectionStyle to anything but none makes the
highlighted color show as expected when the row is selected
Is that the behavior that you _want_? The expected effect of
UITableViewCellSelection.None is that the cell has no distinct style when
selected, so it makes sense that you need to set it to either Blue
(default) or Grey for anything to happen (automatically) when a cell is
selected.
if you want the on-tap behavior to be yellow text on a white background,
cell.TextLabel.TextColor = UIColor.Black;
cell.TextLabel.HighlightedTextColor = UIColor.Yellow;
//cell.SelectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyle.Blue; // or leave as
default
cell.SelectedBackgroundView = new
UIView(newSystem.Drawing.RectangleF(0,0,320,44)){BackgroundColor=UIColor.White};
or else - i'm misunderstanding what you are actually trying to accomplish?
p.s. this code should already be running on the main thread

immediately after initializing the cell the highlight is on, but I need it

Re: [MonoTouch] Need Simple UIWebView Example to Format Text
in the Monospace11 app - https://github.com/conceptdev/Monospace11 - some
of the screens use webviews for formatting (found it faster to format
nicely, and work cross-platform with Android).
anyway, check out the
SpeakerBioViewControllerhttps://github.com/conceptdev/Monospace11/blob/master/iOS/TabSpeakers/SpeakerBioViewController.cs,
SessionViewControllerhttps://github.com/conceptdev/Monospace11/blob/master/iOS/TabSessions/SessionViewController.csand
WebViewControllerBasehttps://github.com/conceptdev/Monospace11/blob/master/iOS/WebViewControllerBase.cs
in the *WebViewControllerBase* class i have a snippet of stylesheet that
gets re-used on each screen
public string StyleHtmlSnippet
{
get
{ // http://jonraasch.com/blog/css-rounded-corners-in-all-browsers
return style +
body {background-image:url('Background.png'); background-color:#F0F0F0; }+
body,b,i,p,h2{font-family:Helvetica;} +
h1,h2{color:#F09402;} +
h1,h2{margin-bottom:0px;} +
.footnote{font-size:small;} +
.sessionspeaker{color:#44;font-weight:bold;} +
.sessionroom{color:#66;} +
.sessiontime{color:#66;} +
.sessiontag{color:#800020;} +
div.sessionspeaker { -webkit-border-radius:12px; background:white;
width:285; color:black; padding:8 10 10 8; } +
a.sessionspeaker {color:black; text-decoration:none;}+
/style;
}
}
and then the code calls 'FormatText()' (which is overridden in the
subclasses) and display the html in a webview. notice it sets up the base
directory so that images from inside the app bundle can be displayed (eg.
background image referenced in the CSS). i've summarised the ViewDidLoad()
method here:
basedir = Environment.GetFolderPath
(System.Environment.SpecialFolder.Personal);
basedir = System.IO.Path.Combine (basedir, .., Monospace11.app); // USE
YOUR APP BUNDLE NAME
webView.LoadHtmlString(FormatText(), new NSUrl(basedir, true));
THEN in the *subclasses*, override FormatText() to return a string of HTML,
incorporating the StyleHtmlSnippet and using styled elements like H2, and
class = body or sessionspeak...
protected override string FormatText ()
{
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder ();
sb.Append (StyleHtmlSnippet);
sb.Append (h2 + _speaker.Name + /h2 + Environment.NewLine);
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty (_speaker.Bio)) {
sb.Append (span class='body' + _speaker.Bio + /spanbr/);
}
sb.Append (br /);
foreach (var session in _speaker.Sessions) {
sb.Append (div class='sessionspeaker'a href='http://MIX10.app/; +
session.Code + ' class='sessionspeaker' + session.Title + /a/divbr
/);
}
return sb.ToString ();
}
IF you need to catch links inside the HTML and do custom stuff, for more
info on making the http://MIX10.app urls work, see the
WebViewDelegate.ShouldStartLoad() methods in each page...

Re: [MonoTouch] StoreKit: UpdatedTransactions() not called for restores?
Hey there, I know that Restore does work, as I've built commercial apps that implement it; and the Xamarin sample also works for me. The documentation basically says if there are no restorable-transactions then UpdatedTransactions() won't get called. If PaymentQueueRestoreCompletedTransactionsFinished() *is* getting called, then that indicates that StoreKit is definitely hearing you and trying to restore! So it is puzzling... Might as well check all the obvious stuff: - there have definitely been purchases done by the Test Apple ID that is performing the restore? - especially, these transactions are definitely having the FinishTransaction() method called on them? - the type of products you are selling are Non-Consumable (or Auto-renewing subscription)? All other product types don't get Restored. Finally, although you don't *have* to do anything in PaymentQueueRestoreCompletedTransactionsFinished() I think it is nice to provide some sort of indication to the user that a Restore was run and is now complete. Otherwise they have just pressed a button (Restore) but with no visual feedback or idea whether it worked or not! As for speed - yes, sandbox can be slow. I've been testing other features of StoreKit the past few days and haven't had any problems (other than it's slightly slower than production).

Re: [MonoTouch] Passbook API
The PassBook API lets you read passes that have been created and signed with a certificate attached to your TeamID. So you can create multiple pass types (each with their own certificate), distribute them to customers and write multiple apps that can read one type or all of those passes. Your apps cannot read passes signed by other companies. Note: you do not create passes on a device, they must be created on a server somewhere, since they require a certificate for signing, and the certificate should be private/secure. you can 'trigger' pass creation on a device in your app (so it looks to the user like it is being created) but you should write a webservice or something and do the actual pass creation on the server. there's a few forks of ZXING barcode reader for MT (eg. https://github.com/JohnACarruthers/zxing.MonoTouch), i have tested it with PassKit barcodes and it has worked. others like redlaser should also work. for those that haven't already read about it - http://docs.xamarin.com/ios/tutorials/Introduction_to_PassKit HTH craig On Fri, Sep 21, 2012 at 5:53 AM, Abe Gillespie abe.gilles...@gmail.comwrote: Does the API also allow you to read passes?

Re: [MonoTouch] Any idea what this could be?
Yeah, actually deploying a MT5.2-based app might not be the solution, just
wondering if it resolves the issue and therefore helps narrow it down to
something in MT or something in the app?
Another thing that I'm not sure you've mentioned is whether it is easily,
reliably reproducible - or just random? If random, is it still guaranteed
to happen within a certain period (ie. always happens within 5 minutes of
usage) or something like that? You did say that sometimes it fails
differently (ie. disables home button?) - is it always the same error
message with the same 'breaking' behaviour, or was that a specific
combination of code that was repeatable? since the errors are around
foreground behaviour, i
As you said, it feels like a needle in a haystack. When all else fails, I
usually end up doing a source-control diff to my last-known-good version
and undoing everything bit-by-bit. Even that is very difficult if you can't
easily/reliably reproduce in the first place, cause you don't know when
it's fixed :)
If you _can_ easily/reliably reproduce, the best bet is to gradually rip
out code until you have the smallest breaking example and submit that to
bugzilla for the devs to investigate. But that only works if it is
reproducible to start with :-\
wish i could give some more concrete advice, but as you say it's a very
vague situation to start with.

p.s. random question: I presume that WillEnterForeground code is in your
AppDelegate? are you also creating
NSNotificationCenter.DefaultCenter.AddObserver() listeners for
UIApplication.WillEnterForegroundNotification anywhere in your app? long

Re: [MonoTouch] Storyboard and localization
Storyboards provide a nice design-time experience for UI layout, navigation design and can be faster to load in your app than XIBs. Regarding l10n however, this quote is from Apple's docs: *Note:* Before Xcode 4.5, developers and localizers had to modify storyboards and nib files for each language an app supported. The task required not only that they translate the visible or audible text of a storyboard or nib, but that they adjust the sizes and positions of views after translation. In iOS5 an earlier, it isn't possible to 'localize' a Storyboard file... there were two options available: 1) create a separate *.storyboard _for each language_ (ie. copy and paste the storyboard into each *.lproj folder, and type the localized strings into the storyboard directly) 2) create your storyboard _not_ in an *.lproj folder, and ensure all the localizable elements have an outlet created so you can access from C#. Then in your MonoTouch code, set the display properties directly eg title.Text = MonoTouch.Foundation.NSBundle.MainBundle.LocalizedString (Task Details, Task Details); Both these approaches are very manual. In iOS6 Apple introduced a new concept called Base Localization - but this ONLY works on iOS6 so if you want backwards compatibility with iOS5 and earlier, you can't use it. There are details in this link https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#referencelibrary/GettingStarted/RoadMapiOS/chapters/InternationalizeYourApp/InternationalizeYourApp/InternationalizeYourApp.html This method introduces a new folder - Base.lproj - where you put your *.storyboard files. Then in each *.lproj folder you create a .strings file with the same name as the storyboard. For now, MonoDevelop does not offer the IDE helpers that Xcode does (as described in that link) but you *can* do it manually - i've just pushed an example https://github.com/conceptdev/xamarin-samples/tree/master/TaskyL10nStoryboard note that it does get tricky - you need to match up the object-ids in Xcode to create the localization keys, like this: SXg-TT-IwM.placeholder = nombre de la tarea; Pqa-aa-ury.placeholder= ; zwR-D9-hM1.text = Detalles de la tarea; bAM-2j-Rzw.text = Notas; NF3-h8-xmR.text = Completo; MWt-Ya-pMf.normalTitle = Guardar; IGr-pR-05L.normalTitle = Eliminar; HTH cd On Fri, Dec 28, 2012 at 5:48 AM, Morten Kruse krus...@msn.com wrote: I think that it is a NO then.

Re: [MonoTouch] IOS to Android
it will depend on the structure of the monotouch app. all the UIKit code (views, viewcontrollers, ui controls) will need to be re-written for Android (views, activities, ui controls). HOWEVER all non-UI-specific code should be re-usable... you might just need to check some assumptions about filesystem use (Android doesn't have all the special directories that iOS app sandbox does). will also depend on whether that non-UI-code is already separated out into distinct classes or even a library project. some of the issues around code sharing across both platforms are covered in http://docs.xamarin.com/ios/Guides/Application_Fundamentals/Building_Cross_Platform_Applications hard to be more specific about how fast and easy, but certainly having it all in C# that you can share is a good start! there are many examples of Xamarin-built apps that run on both :) On Thu, Jan 31, 2013 at 2:16 PM, Alejandro Vazquez alexvazq...@yahoo.comwrote: Hi, Does anyone know how fast and easy is to migrate a monotouch ios app to mono for android?

Re: [MonoTouch] Database Encryption
Depends on how secure you want it to be - the sandbox (plus curated app store) generally means other applications can never hack at/steal your data, and in the /Library/ folder end-users generally won't find it either. However, if the phone/device was stolen, unencrypted files are fairly simple for someone to find (eg. using PhoneDiskhttp://www.macroplant.com/phonedisk/, doesn't require jailbreaking). So if you want to protect the data even if a phone is lost or stolen, considering encryption is probably a good idea. There's nothing built-in to Xamarin to do that, but there is a component available to purchase on the store SQLCipher https://components.xamarin.com/view/sqlcipher-for-xamarin/ HTH Craig On Thu, Mar 21, 2013 at 10:59 AM, Matronix matro...@gmail.com wrote: I have a current application that I will be be expanding on.

Re: [MonoTouch] Hosting database server or services in iOS
Here's a pretty old (2009) sample from Mike doing some basic listening/response from iOS http://mikebluestein.wordpress.com/2009/10/13/create-a-mini-web-server-using-monotouch-to-serve-up-a-silverlight-app-to-your-desktop/ HTH On Tue, Aug 27, 2013 at 8:42 AM, Nic Wise n...@fastchicken.co.nz wrote: BTW, thinking about it, you can run a HTTP or FTP Server on iOS, tho you app must be in the foreground. ewallet and airforms (http://polarbearfarm.com/airforms/) both do it. They are done in ObjC, but there is no reason not to be able to do it in Xam.iOS. On 27 August 2013 16:41, Nic Wise n...@fastchicken.co.nz wrote: You might need to read around. I think you can create a HTTP server on iOS (ie, listen to a socket and do something), and it might be built in to .NET / Mono too. However, if the app isn't the front up (eg someone switches out to safari for a short period) then it gets shut down - no background processes. Possibly the same if the power button gets hit by accident. As I said in the last one, I'd go for json over http, as it's _easy_, and quite quick. Personally, I think I'd go for a Mac Mini or similar (maybe even a Raspberry PI or something _tiny_, depending on how much control you have over the client setup), and have that as the host. Then you can do whatever you want without having to work around iOS limitations. iOS7 may change that a bit, but I'm not sure I'd build a business on it :) Also think about what happens if the server disappears, or if the network goes down (as they do) On 27 August 2013 09:24, hocp...@yahoo.com hocp...@yahoo.com wrote: Hello, I've developed a Point of Sales (POS) app on the iPad and iPhone. The app used local SQLite database to store data. The app mainly operates in a single store (close loop) environment with local network router.

I want one iPad at the cashier counter to host the database and the rest of the iPad devices connecting to the host. In the POS environment all app needs to be responsive in real-time or close to real-time data access, because there a lot data transfers between them. I think Core Data, web service, MS Azure, etc. is not going be responsive enough. Nor having a local desktop Windows server to provide local data access will NOT cut it because we want the store owner to be able to bring the host iPad home after closing the shop. Questions: 1. Can I develop the app to host local database? 2. What is the best network protocol for the host?

Re: [MonoTouch] Error with monotouch.dialog (new monotouch update)
an easy fix is to build up the Sections manually rather than combining it
all into one statement, for example this old code:
Root = new RootElement (Tasky) {
new Section() {
from t in tasks
select (Element) new StringElement((t.Name==?newTask:t.Name), t.
Notes)
}
};
INSTEAD becomes this --
ListElement le = new ListElement();
foreach (var t in tasks)
le.Add (new StringElement((t.Name==? newTask:t.Name), t.Notes));
// add to section
var s = new Section ();
s.AddAll (le);
// add as root
Root = new RootElement (Tasky) { s };
Let us know if you have trouble converting your code - I think you'll need
to flatten out both your Sections. It may not look as pretty but at least
it is unambiguous.
This is not related to Xcode 5 or iOS 7 specifically, I think it is related
to the changed covariance/contravariance handling of generic types in the
latest version of Mono... (someone correct me if i'm wrong there).

Any clue on how to fix it and why is now showing that error?

Thanks a lot Craig,
What I just did is:
var root = new RootElement (Tasks){
new Section (Process

(MonoTouch.Dialog.Element)new RootElement (Process, new RadioGroup
(processtype, 0)){
new Section (){
guarantor,dependent, volunteer // all these are Elements

And it now compiles without errors.
Thanks a lot!
