Re: UISearchBar covers status bar

2016-02-02 Thread Rick Mann 
I'm also presenting it as a modal controller. I get the same behavior (with 
certain settings), except that the search bar doesn't accommodate the status 
bar; it's  tucked up under it.

Apple really screwed the pooch with the status bar change in iOS 7; I've had 
nothing but problems with it ever since.

 Not sure why you keep suggesting OS X. This is iOS.
 
 The problem is the designers want it over the nav bar, not in the view.

Nope. Even brand-new apps still run into problems, as evidenced by this search 
bar issue I'm having.

Isn't this just the thing (apologies, can't actually try it right now)
where the easiest way to keep the status bar tidy when doing a modal
presentation is to actually present your modal controller inside its own
navigation controller, even if you don't plan on pushing anything onto it?

Again, apologies if I'm missing any subtleties here. But the same problem
of the status bar occurs on any modal presentation, right?

I considered that, particularly because I do, in fact, push items onto it. The 
problem is, then I have to manage the placement of the search bar myself. 
Although the docs are somewhat contradictory on the subject, they do say you 
can present a UISearchController directly modally. In this case, though, it's 
not placing the search bar in the right place. I was hoping this was the result 
of some incorrect configuration (there are several flags in UISearchBar and 
UISearchController, not to mention everything in UIView and UIViewController). 
But I can't seem to find the right configuration.

Easier way to make NSView subclasses refresh on a property change?

2016-02-02 Thread Graham Cox 
Hi all,

Whenever I make a custom view class, it often has a bunch of properties that 
affect the content it renders. So, for each setter that does this, I have to 
override the setter, do whatever it normally does plus call 
-setNeedsDisplay:YES.

This gets tedious.

Is there a good way to automate this for a given set of properties? I 
considered overriding -didChangeValueForKey: and checking the key against a set 
of exported property names, and that would work, except all my custom views 
would then need to subclass this one special kind of view instead of NSView. 
Can it be done with a standard NSView? (MacOS)

A similar requirement applies to CALayer too.

—Graham

BTW, it would be really great if this were an extension of property attributes, 
e.g:

@property (nonatomic, assign, refresh) BOOL goesWild;

Then the compiler’s synthesis mechanism coould just add the appropriate call 
for views or layers as it finds. For other classes, this flags a warning.

Good idea?

Re: UISearchBar covers status bar

2016-02-02 Thread Alex Zavatone 
Oh, it slides down another view.

It looks like it modally presents a view controller over the current view and 
slides down the view with the search bar and segmented controller.

Look at it.  If you tap on any element in the bottom bar, search immediately 
disappears up and the white background fades away to display the view behind it.

I'll bet this is a crafty use of a modal controller.  

And if I'm wrong, you could take the approach that alertViews take.  They 
present themselves in another window entirely and ride above all the content 
below.

Or, did Apple fix a screwed pooch and thus your app needs to be unscrewed by 
refactoring?

If I wanted to “switch to an entirely new screen”, I would present a new view 
controller modally so that it covers everything. Depending on the nature of the 
game, you might choose to pause the SKScene while it’s overlaid by the modal 
view. Then dismiss the modal controller to get back to the game. There’s no 
need to transition anything within Sprite Kit, as far as I can see.

However, the controlling criterion is likely to be style and esthetics. For 
some games, it might be perceived as jarring if the visual style of the game is 
suddenly changed to the regular iOS UI style. It might be preferable to 
implement it all within Sprite Kit, to keep the style consistent. That means, 
of course, reinventing the controls you need, which can be a huge pain, but the 
design priorities are different for a game.

UIViews in SpriteKit Apps

2016-02-02 Thread Charles Jenkins 
When I’ve previously dabbled a bit with iOS programming, it was with normal 
UIView forms and controls.

Now I’m writing my first SpriteKit game, and I want to give users the ability 
to select their own background music. Can I use “normal” UIViews to do that, 
and have the standard media pickers?

I tried to do web research on mixing SpriteKit and UIKit, and the hits I found 
were all about using UIKit objects on top of SpriteKit scenes. This isn’t 
exactly what I want… I’m thinking of presenting a “menu” SpriteKit SKScene with 
an SKSpriteNode button on it that says “Set Background Music,” and when the 
user touches that node, I then switch to an entirely new screen for picking 
media.

Can I do that, then transition back to my SKScene after the user selects a 
song? How do I do that?
