The efficiency of swapping endianness on an iPhone?

2009-04-14 Thread Harry G
Hi, I'm currently writing an app for iphone that downloads large  
tables of text and images , and my server outputs big endian.


How significant would the extra processing be to convert to small  
endian on the iPhone?


I'm sure most of you would recommend doing the conversion on the  
server side, but the guy in charge of the server is having time off,  
so looking at alternative possibilities.

global UIColor

2009-03-22 Thread Harry G
I'm setting up my constants in my app, and have come across a problem.  
I wish to have a standard UIColor to use for all titles in my app but  
I get the error "error: initializer element is not constant" and for  
obvious reasons , but my question is: How am I 'supposed' to implement  
a single global UIColor?


#import "XXConstants.h"

@implementation XXConstants
const NSString *const1 = @"MyString";
const int  const2 = 111;

UIColor * const3 = [UIColor colorWithRed:.11 green:.11 blue:.11 alpha: 
1]; //the offender

Best method of communicating with binary java DataOutputStream on iPhone?

2009-02-20 Thread Harry G
Data shall be obtained via http as utf-8  served by Java  
DataOutputStream.


The data consists of int's and utf-8 strings

Other than iterating through byte by byte, does cocoa have any  
convenience methods to communicate or extract such data?


Speed of data transfer is of high priority, what would the impact be  
if I communicated via xml or other recommended protocol instead?

Reading from online Byte Array to UITableview best method?

2009-02-19 Thread Harry G
I wish to dynamically load (from URL) byte array data, convert to  
cocoa datatypes, and use in an UITableview.


So many ways to skin a cat, so before I proceed I was wondering what  
methods you would recommend for the job?
