Why are you keeping a reference to each cell? Surely this is going to
break the reusable pattern? IF you need to do this, dont use
DequeueReusableCell, just make a new one each time (but I recommend
you DONT do this)

Pretty sure you dont need to cast on the way out. If
ICTableContactCell isn't a descendant of UITableViewCell, it needs to
be changed.

Other than that, maybe use the dSYM to work out which line of code?
Nothing obvious in there otherwise

Re: [MonoTouch] MonoTouch.UIKit.UIStringAttributes.set_Font bug?

[Nic Wise]

If you Apple-D on the DrawString method to decompile it, you'll see
it's ios7 only

[Since (7, 0), CompilerGenerated]
public static void DrawString (this NSString This, PointF point,
UIStringAttributes attributes)
{
This.WeakDrawString (point, attributes.Dictionary);
}

I suspect it's calling

}
Messaging.void_objc_msgSend_PointF_IntPtr (This.Handle,
Selector.GetHandle ("drawAtPoint:withAttributes:"), point,
attributes.Handle);
}

Which is iOS7 only:

https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/uikit/reference/NSString_UIKit_Additions/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/occ/instm/NSString/drawAtPoint:withAttributes:

Availability

Available in iOS 7.0 and later.

Re: [MonoTouch] Major Windows Authentication Issue

Hi Xy

You may need to ask on the Xamarin Forums, rather then on the mailing
list - most of the activity is there.

Or better yet, especially if you have a small sample you can send
them, email supp...@xamarin.com

Re: [MonoTouch] How do you actually listen to an UIScrollView scrolling

[Nic Wise]

As far as I know, you dont.

X.iOS has alway followed the following model:

1. you make a new object (UIScrollView on your case). It makes its own
UIScrollViewDelegate in the background, which calls the .Scrolled
events (and all the others)
2. you assign the delegate. This clears (or rather, replaces) any
events. They are still there, they just dont ever get called.

I don't think there is a way to go back from 2 to 1. Or a way to
detect which one you are in. Maybe check to see if .delegate is null
(or a specific class?) which would mean you are using the event model?

Re: [MonoTouch] GUI templates

[Nic Wise]

You may need to look on the forums, and also on the component store -
I think there is a template there which you could model off.

The APIs you need are called UIAppearance - Xamarin have good docs for
that on their site.

Re: [MonoTouch] Questions about supporting both iOS 6 and 7

[Nic Wise]

> - I set the iOS Build > SDK version to 7, but then my app would not launch

It should not, no. ( I think there is an issue with Mavericks with the
iOS6 sim, if you are running it. Run the OSX Console app, which should
tell you why it's not working.)

You need to set the SDK version to "Default", but make sure that "iOS
Application" => Deployment target is set to 6.0. (or 6.1)

> - Otherwise If I set SDK version to be 6.0, is it still possible to get iOS

No, I think you need to use the 7 SDK to get the 7 look. Plus, I dont
think Apple accepts 6.0 SDK apps anymore (they never did in the past)

> - If using SDK v6, can I still use iOS 7 UIKit properties?

Only be calling the selector directly. So no C# bindings

> - If I release iOS 7 only update to app store, will users still be able to
> download my app for iOS 6?

Nope. However, if you have v1.0 as an iOS6 app, and v2.0 as iOS7 only,
then iOS6 people will be offered the 1.0 version.

In the past, I've used the 6 SDK and set the deployment target to 4.3,
so I could target the iPhone 3G. But you also have to be careful not
to call iOS6 methods :)

I've been using this

https://gist.github.com/nicwise/6617756

to do this:

public static UIColor HeaderDark = "1D354E".ToUIColor();

(same as a web hex colour). However, it doesn't deal with alpha, which
would be easy to add. Going the other way should be easy

You have a number of ways

if its on a local network, you can just use a airprint printer (or
something running on a mac which makes any local printer look like an
airprint one), and then just do the normal printing (look at the apple
or Xamarin docs), eg:
http://docs.xamarin.com/samples/RecipesAndPrinting

If it has to be 100% mobile - eg a receipt printer attached to a
person, walking around - you need bluetooth, and I suspect you are
going to be using something like this:

https://pos.epson.com/products/MobilinkP60withBluetooth?ProductPK=679
https://pos.epson.com/developers/application-process.htm

Printing without using AirPrint is still a bit messy, it appears.

Re: [MonoTouch] Bluetooth portable printer

[Nic Wise]

Not from what I read on their site, no

http://pos.epson.com/mobile/

you have to get their SDK, then get them to certify you (and apple to)
as a "made for iphone" app or something.

https://pos.epson.com/products/MobilinkP60withBluetooth?ProductPK=679
https://pos.epson.com/developers/application-process.htm

Then, I think you can. You might not need that if you are not going
into the appstore tho.

Re: [MonoTouch] Hosting database server or services in iOS

[Nic Wise]

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.

Re: [MonoTouch] Hosting database server or services in iOS

[Nic Wise]

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)

Re: [MonoTouch] Web Services Performance for Point of Sales application.

[Nic Wise]

The overhead of using Json over HTTP vrs pretty much anything else
(binary over sockets etc) is going to be negated by the speed of the
internet - or lack of it.

The round trip from your POS to the server is going to be <1ms on a
local network, and possibly 10-100ms (or more if it's 3G/4G - 2-5s
sometimes) for an internet call.

What kind of data are you moving over this connection?  How many
requests per "person buying something"? Why does it have to be
realtime/near realtime? what happens if the network connection goes
away?

Personally, I'd explore json over HTTPS ('cos you need it to be
secure, right?), with gzip compression on the server end (which is
common now anyway) but avoid WCF like the plague. Look at using
ServiceStack or something similar. SignalR might also be an option if
you need to do bidirectional comms.

Sending 1k as json (which might end up as 1.5k) or binary (which might
be 1.01k) is nothing compared to creating a connection to the server
in the first place.

Re: [MonoTouch] IPad Vertical TabBar (uitableview)

[Nic Wise]

Hi

I just thought, a demo I did for Xamarin Evolve would do this, too. I was
just using Clancey's flyoutcontroller, but if you kept it "out", you get
the same result (rather than letting it close over)

https://github.com/nicwise/EvolveMonoTouchDialog/tree/master/5-styling

https://github.com/nicwise/EvolveMonoTouchDialog/blob/master/5-styling/AppDelegate.cs

Should get you about 95% of the way there.

Re: [MonoTouch] IPad Vertical TabBar (uitableview)

[Nic Wise]

There are 3 classes here, which you could port over to C#

https://github.com/futuresimple/FSVerticalTabBarController/tree/master/src

Knowing enough ObjC to port them over is a very useful thing :)

(If you don't / can't, I may try - tho I'm not sure WHEN! But I love that

Re: [MonoTouch] Adding strings at runtime

[Nic Wise]

I've been playing with Vernacular on the weekend (which worked quite
well for what I wanted)

Maybe you could either change the default iOS one to look somewhere
else (it uses the built in iOS .lproj/strings technique,
which is part of the bundle and hence read only), or write a new
catalog, and have it load from somewhere where you download it from?

In the end, you are still calling Catalog.GetString("somekey") all
over the place... (ie, "go and work out the language I'm using, and
find the transaction of "somekey")

Vernacular just helps you get all the strings _out_, and pluralize /
genderize them.

BTW, lets assume I (as a user) add "fuzzwubble" to your app.

Someone else uses it in German, and it needs to be "derfuzzenwubbleen".

a) how does this new word get to you to be translated?
b) how do you get the translation back? Are you doing it and putting
it on a web server somewhere?
c) what do you do if there is no translation yet (I assume display
english? Use google translate?)
d) thought about crazy long words (esp German)? Right to left? etc?

Re: [MonoTouch] app crashs directly after start

[Nic Wise]

Deploy it to a device, then open xcode (organiser) and look at the
logs there for the device, that will tell you whats going on.

I'd suspect keys, which is usually the problem.

I think the simulator logs to the normal Mac console (console.app)

Re: [MonoTouch] Importing a view from outside of a xib & "tooltips"

[Nic Wise]

What do you mean by "external objects"?

You could do a tooltip when the user enters a field ("when it becomes
the first responder"). You can work out easily the bounds of the text
box, then just make a new UIView (which has the stuff in it you want
to display), add it into the same view that contains the textbox, and
position it in the right place. You can also bring it to the front to
make sure it shows over the top of everything else.

Is that what you mean?

Re: [MonoTouch] Button with an image and text

[Nic Wise]

Can you not set the title of the button? btn.SetTitle("",
UIControlState.Normal):

Failing that, I'd make a new UIView child, and add the button (with
image) and a label to it. MAke the frame the same for everything, and
if you need to, bring the label to the front.

then just work with the UIView.

Re: [MonoTouch] Expand and Collapse UITableView Section

[Nic Wise]

Are you using MonoTouch.Dialog, or normal UITableView stuff?

if it's the latter, I suggest you spend 5 mins and learn a small
amount of objc. The code in that SO post is... well, REALLY basic.

eg

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView
didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
if (indexPath.row == 0) {
///it's the first row of any section so it would be your custom section header

///put in your code to toggle your boolean value here
mybooleans[indexPath.section] = !mybooleans[indexPath.section];

///reload this section
[self.tableView reloadSections:[NSIndexSet
indexSetWithIndex:indexPath.section]
withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationFade];
  }
}

(sorry, the formatting is going to be out)

In your UITableViewSource derived class

public override void RowSelected (UITableView tableView, NSIndexPath indexPath)
{
  if (indexPath.Row == 0)
  {
//change the state of the row that was tapped
mybooleans[indexPath.Section] = !mybooleans[indexPath.Section];

//when you reload all the sections, they will look at the
mybooleans list to work out if they need to show themselves expanded
or not
tableView.ReloadSections(NSIndexSet.FromIndex(indexPath.Section),
UITableViewRowAnimation.Fade);
  }
}


They are doing it differently - there is no ACTUAL header, they just
have a normal cell as the first item, and that one is the "header"
(rather than using the built in header) - then you can tap it, and it
expands or contracts.

You could do that with a normal header, by putting views into it and
hooking something off them, but I think this might be easier. That
said, this method would not keep the header at the top when you are
scrolling within a a section - it would scroll off the top like
normal.

Re: [MonoTouch] Any ideas on where to look for this?

[Nic Wise]

Paul

If you are using xib's, have a google around for "this class is not
key value coding-compliant for the key" - there are lots of posts on
stackoverflow covering this.

eg
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3088059/this-class-is-not-key-value-coding-compliant-for-the-key

or specific to monotouch:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1257/not-key-value-coding-compliant-monotouch-and-ios-6

Drop an email back if these make no sense.

Re: [MonoTouch] How to show a wait cursor until process is running

[Nic Wise]

the one up by the name of the carrier is using

 UIApplication.SharedApplication.NetworkActivityIndicatorVisible =
(true or false);

eg

private static int networkActivityCounter = 0;
public static void TurnOnNetworkActivity()
{
if (networkActivityCounter == 0)
{

UIApplication.SharedApplication.NetworkActivityIndicatorVisible =
true;
}
networkActivityCounter ++;
}

public static void TurnOffNetworkActivity()
{
networkActivityCounter--;

if (networkActivityCounter <= 0)
{
networkActivityCounter = 0;

UIApplication.SharedApplication.NetworkActivityIndicatorVisible =
false;
}
}

(so you can call it more than once, and it'll turn off after you turn
it off the right number of times)

If you want something more obvious to the user, try this:

https://components.xamarin.com/view/btprogresshud/

Re: [MonoTouch] View on top of tabbar navigation

[Nic Wise]

After you assign the window's RootViewController (which might be being
done via the storyboard), you could then use


window.RootViewController.PresentViewController(...)

to throw up a view over the top?

Could you segue to another view in your storyboard, based on if the
user is logged in or not?

It wasn't a typo - it was just a screw up on my part.

I googled for "_NDGetEnviron", but google returns _NSGetEnviron

The only other occurance of _NDGetEnviron is... this thread. Nearly
GoogleWhacked!

As to if Kosta mistyped it in the first place, I dont know :)

Re: [MonoTouch] Issue with app publishing(refused because of private api usage _NDGetEnviron)

[Nic Wise]

According to the Unity docs (they use Mono, too)

http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/54355-_NSGetEnviron-App-Rejected-Version-3-0

"_NSGetEnviron is used by the Mono runtime to provide an
implementation of the .NET core API method:
Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable()."

"In order for us to solve this problem we simply removed any calls to
_NSGetEnviron and exc_server. Update Unity iPhone 1.5.1 was sent out
to developers days ago. Most of them have already resubmitted their
Apps to the AppStore with the functions removed. Unity iPhone 1.5.1
will go live this week."
--posted November 2009

I would venture a guess that you built your app with something earlier
than unity 1.5.1. Is this the case? If so, perhaps you should rebuild
with Unity 1.7 and resubmit.

--

which version of Xamarin.iOS are you using, 'cos that post is nearly 3
years old? I assume you are calling Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable
somewhere? MAybe it's been fixed in a newer version of Xam.iOS?

Sebastien (or Rolf) is the right person to fix it tho, as far as I know.

Re: [MonoTouch] How to access pdf controls through program.

[Nic Wise]

As far as I know, you can't, not with the built in PDF stuff on iOS
(with or without Xamarin tools)



Forms are usually a function of Adobe Acrobat, not the PDF "standard".

So, you could save to, and load in, Acrobat if the user had it
installed, tho I'm not sure how you would get the PDF back. Or you
could use something like Foxit

http://www.foxitsoftware.com/products/sdk/embedded/ios/

PSPSDKIT might work too

http://pspdfkit.com/

I think someone (D. Alex Soto) did bindings for it a while back, so
they should be in the Xamarin bindings github repo.

Re: [MonoTouch] Adding a UISwitch to a Navigation Item.

[Nic Wise]

By NavigationItem, I assume you mean the top bar in a UINavigationController?

Where do you want to add it? In the middle or left/right side? The
middle is fairly easy, at least for segment controls:

var segmentControl = new UISegmentedControl(new
RectangleF(0,0,200,25));
   //etc


dvc.NavigationItem.TitleView = segmentControl;

(dvc is a dialogViewController, but it'll work with any UITableViewController)

left and right side might be harder tho.

Hi Mike

This should do it :)

if (arect.Contains(activefield.Frame.Origin))
{
var scrollpoint = new PointF (0f, activeField.Frame.Y -
kbSize.Height);

scrollView.SetContentOffset (scrollpoint, true);
}

Re: [MonoTouch] UISplitViewController(?) with master/detail

[Nic Wise]

Well, you can port it (good if it's not too much code and it's already
quite stable), or bind it (better if there is a LOT of code, or it's
being actively developed). Binding takes a bit to get the bindings
working, but once they are, you're set.

Re: [MonoTouch] Adding default build action

[Nic Wise]

If you right click on an item, you can select properties. In there,
there is a custom build action option. Might not be what you want
tho

If you dont get a reply from the Xamarin people, ask on the Forums, as
someone like Michael Hutchinson or Mike Krueger would most likely
know.

Re: [MonoTouch] UISplitViewController(?) with master/detail

[Nic Wise]

BTW, personally, I dont like how resco have done it (tho it's most
likely a good demo). The LHS is WAY too big.

I'd do it more like this:

http://www.rememberthemilk.com/services/ipad/

Minimal menu (which can be covered)
small/medium master (based on what you need to show), which MIGHT be
hidden my the detail
HUGE detail

Depends how much switching between major areas (menu) your users are
going to be doing. If it's not much, then get rid of the menu. If it's
a lot... maybe rethink your app structure :)

Re: [MonoTouch] UISplitViewController(?) with master/detail

[Nic Wise]

What I suspect Resco are doing is this:

Main View or window (just a normal UIView / UIViewController)
  A UITableView(Controller) (or use MonoTouch.Dialog, but be careful
of the autoresizing) which has a specific width/height. This is your
left side menu
  A UISplitview(Controller) which contains
a UITableViewContoller (the middle bit)
whatever the detail view is (UITabController with
UINavigationControllers I suspect)

Thats how I'd do it, I think. If you use a splitview, you are stuck
with the default splitview size I think (otherwise, look at
MGSplitViewController), but you also get a portrate mode view for
free. I ended up writing my own (minimal code) for a recent project,
and I put a UICollectionViewController in each side.
(https://gist.github.com/nicwise/5325253)

In a demo for Evolve, I'm doing something _similar_ on the iPhone
using James Clancey's FlyoutNavigationView (on github and the Xamarin
component store). The view that's under the flyout (the black bit) is
just a UITableView (via Monotouch.Dialog) and the main bit is a
UINavigationController with a MonoTouch.Dialog view, but it could be
any view.

Because almost any view can contain other views, you are not limited
to the ordering. (except possibly tab bars, which like being at the
bottom of the tree, in most cases)

https://www.dropbox.com/s/4qrsxhlqry5o09u/mtd-flyout.png

However, you said you wanted a fullscreen detail with a slide in
master? There are a few ways you could do that

Main View
  Detail view (full screen)

No surprise there

Then, to show the master, you could use a UIPopoverViewController to
show it off a button or other event, or you could just make the master
view, set it frame so it's offscreen (relative to the Main View/Window
above), bring it to the front, then animate it sliding in

UIView.Animate(0.5f, delegate {
MasterView.Frame = FINAL_FRAME_LOCATION;
});


Main View
  Detail view (full screen)
  MasterView (200x768, but with a X position of -200 taking it out of sight)

So if your MasterView started at a frame of:

new RectangleF(-200,0,200,768);

(so it's just off screen)

and your final frame location would be

new RectangleF(0,0,200,768)

so it's in the top left corner.

You could trigger this off a UISwipeGesture (attached to the Main
View, or the detail, but the Main might be better), or a button, or
whatever you wanted.

Does that make sense?

Re: [MonoTouch] Change Language for Connected Outlets programmatically

[Nic Wise]

You have a few choices for this.

I'd suggest you look at Vernacular, which is what Rdio made for their
app (the iOS and Android ones are done with Xamarin tools):

https://github.com/rdio/vernacular

Failing that, iOS provides multi-language stuff via XIB's and
NSLocalizedString, but a lot of it is manual. You'd need to read the
apple docs for that, or see if there is anything on the Xamarin docs
site,

http://docs.xamarin.com/guides/ios/advanced_topics/localization_and_internationalization

Not something I've had to do except to look at it. You might want to
try the forums (http://forums.xamarin.com/) which has more people who
might have done it.

Re: [MonoTouch] ViewDidAppear is called before the view appear

[Nic Wise]

Because you are not showing your secondVC directly, it's ViewDidAppear
will be called when it appears in it's parent (the
UINavigationController) which is then animated onto the screen.

You could hook into the UINavigationController's ViewDidAppear and
then call the child one (or a similar method) when it gets called...

ViewDidAppear might not be a good one for this tho. If you animate it
on screen (which you are doing), then it "appears" offscreen, and is
then moved, which isn't what you are expecting to happen.

The last param of

this.NavigationController.PresentViewController(new
UINavigationController(secondVC){
ModalTransitionStyle= UIModalTransitionStyle.CoverVertical,
 }, false,null);

which you pass null into is a callback for when the animation has
finished. You could do something in there, eg:

delegate { secondVC.YoureOnTheScreenNow(); }

Re: [MonoTouch] Adding Footer View

[Nic Wise]

Where did you find the code? Is there more context to it?

Basically, that method is called to get the footerview for any section
(a table has sections, a section has cells), so I'd guess that
GetSection is finding the correct section, so it can work out whats
ment to be in the footer view.

This is very similar to how MonoTouch.Dialog works, BTW.

Re: [MonoTouch] ViewDidAppear is called before the view appear

[Nic Wise]

It may be that the SecondVC is "appearing" inside the
UINavigationController, which is then shown (animated)

Can you hook onto the UINavigationController's ViewDidAppear? Or try
to present just your SecondVC to see if thats the issue (ie, don't
wrap it in the UINavController)

Re: [MonoTouch] Change direction of push transition animation to left

I've done this by pre-pushing a view controller - ie, my stack looks like:

the user starts at Overview. They can go back to tax, or forward to detail

Oh yes, thats going to be a mess.

I assume they are already translated?

(I've never tried using resx BTW)

Could you put them in the root of separate assemblies? Or one separate assembly?

Re: [MonoTouch] Xamarin.iOS to Xamarin.Mac Roseta Stone

[Nic Wise]

I've not seen one, but generally

CocoaTouch -> Cocoa

UI* -> NS*
NS* -> NS* (no change)

Basically, you have UIKit on CocoaTouch, and you have AppKit, I think,
on Cocoa. They don't do the same thing, at all, tho the basic
metaphores and patterns are similar.

Best thing apple did (and WORST thing MSFT did with windows.forms on
desktop and mobile and web) was to throw out the old UI controls and
start again with UIKit. You then go in without preconceived notions of
what a Button should do for example.

Would love to know how you get on, if you blog about it etc.

Re: [MonoTouch] Woes after todays updates

[Nic Wise]

Did you just update to the Xamarin 2.0 stuff? ie Xamarin Studio 4,
Xamarin.iOS 6.2 etc?

If so, ALL the monotouch.dll etc are now signed, so you will need to
rereference them, and if you have any DLLs build against the old ones,
including any bindings, you need to rebuild them

need to make your own stringelement (copy the one thats there) and add
it in when it's created.

If you have ObjC to code change the keyboard, doing it in MonoTouch
would be the same - you just need to translate it, which is usually
mostly just finding where the names have changed :)

Re: [MonoTouch] Dismiss keyboard @ MonoTouch.Dialog

[Nic Wise]

I think you need to work out how you want to dismiss it, then trigger
off that. View.EndEditing(true) gets rid of the keyboard, but how you
trigger it is up to you.

The tap gesture isn't too bad, but as you said, it takes over all taps.

I quite like the scroll one - maybe you could also trigger it off the
scroll event/message on the TableView?

Putting a toolbar or view on the keyboard can work, too - PlainText
does it quite well:
https://itunes.apple.com/en/app/plaintext-dropbox-text-editing/id391254385?mt=8

I've never found a solution I liked enough to keep it in, except the
toolbar one, and even then it was clunkey.

Re: [MonoTouch] building a ipa from visual studio with Xamarin Studio

[Nic Wise]

I do it in XS, I dont have VS here. But you do it via Project -> Zip
App Bundle (IPA is a zip!) or Build -> Archive and it ends up in the
XCode Organiser's archive section.

But to do an IPA to upload to itunes, zip app bundle works.

Now, does VS have it... I'm not sure :(

Re: [MonoTouch] Accessing MT.Dialog Elements

[Nic Wise]

Hi Iki

for (int i = 0; i < newsList.Count; i++)
 {
StringElement se = new StringElement(newsList[i]);
section.Add(se);

int localCounter = i; //grab it, 'cos you want to use it
inside the lamda, and "i" may have the wrong scope
se.Tapped += () =>
{
   //DialogViewController with modified ctor (string name)
 DetailViewController dvc = new
DetailViewController(newsList[localCounter]); //use the local one
 this.NavigationController.PushViewController(dvc,true);
 };

 stringElementsList.Add(se); //you dont need this, you are
storing it in the section above!
  }

you might not need the localCounter bit (you might just be able to use
i) - try it out. If it always shows the last element, regardless, then
use the localCounter bit. I know you need to do this for objects, just
not 100% sure on value types :)

you could rewrite it like this, too:



newsList = new List()
{
"News - 1"
   ,"News - 2"
   ,"News - 3"
   ,"News - 4"
 };

foreach(var s in newsList)
{

string temp = s; //capture outside, use inside the lambda/delegate

section.Add(new StringElement(s, () => {
  DetailViewController dvc = new DetailViewController(temp);
   this.NavigationController.PushViewController(dvc,true);
});


}

Re: [MonoTouch] Mono.CSharp.InternalErrorException

[Nic Wise]

I'd suggest you post on the forums (more people there) and also file
it in bugzilla. I've also CCed Sebastien and Rolf, who usually know
about internal compiler things Also keep in mind that I suspect
most of the Xamarin people didn't get much sleep yesterday :)

However, can you post the code around

/Users/guivho/Mono/Targister/Targister/Classes/BarButtonView.cs(13,16):

Looks like it's having issues with the attribute on a method? Are
you using [Attributes] on your method?

Re: [MonoTouch] Disposing view controllers

[Nic Wise]

Well, yes, I guess you could call it - I doubt there is any harm (try
it in Instruments? See if it does release it).

The GC is pretty agressive (too agressive at times), so I doubt you'd
be saving yourself much, except peace of mind, which is worth a lot :)

Re: [MonoTouch] UITextView automatic scrolling while typing?

[Nic Wise]

The animation duration is how long the keyboard takes from being
invisible to being visible. The code I took it from:

https://github.com/nicwise/BTProgressHUD

Needs to move it's view at the same speed as the keyboard comes up,
rather than waiting for it to finish, then moving it in one go.

Re: [MonoTouch] UITextView automatic scrolling while typing?

[Nic Wise]

Thanks for posting this, Iki, I was just doing something simlar the other day.

UIKeyboard.BoundsFromNotification has been deprecated, so you might
want to use this:

if(notification != null)
{
RectangleF keyboardFrame = UIKeyboard.FrameEndFromNotification(notification);
animationDuration = UIKeyboard.AnimationDurationFromNotification(notification);

if(notification.Name == UIKeyboard.WillShowNotification ||
notification.Name == UIKeyboard.DidShowNotification)
{
if(IsPortrate(orientation))
keyboardHeight = keyboardFrame.Size.Height;
else
keyboardHeight = keyboardFrame.Size.Width;
} else

keyboardHeight = 0;

} else {
keyboardHeight = VisibleKeyboardHeight;
}

The FrameEndFromNotifiation is where the keyboard is when the animation ends.

Re: [MonoTouch] Reduce Image Size but not Quality

[Nic Wise]

Sorry, I mis-read it. I thought you wanted to scale the image :)

Jason is right: without changing the resolution (x * y) or quality,
you can't change the file size. So either drop the quality, or make it
have fewer pixels.

Re: [MonoTouch] Reduce Image Size but not Quality

[Nic Wise]

This might work, tho check it for memory leaks, and I suspect it might
be leaking:

https://gist.github.com/nicwise/890460

After that, you have a UIImage, so you can use .AsJpeg(quality) or
.AsPNG() to get a compressed image out. If you are about quality over
filesize, use PNG, it's lossless. JPEG is lossy, even at 100%.

Re: [MonoTouch] Making a ipa for internal distribution

[Nic Wise]

Hi John

You might be able to do it by plugging each device you want to put it
on into your machine, add it as a "developer device" using xcode, and
then setting the signing for that build target to use the developer
one.

But normally, you need to add devices, and make a specific profile for
that build (eg for testflight) as Alejandro detailed. I've not done it
the other way, but it _might_ work.

You should be able to get the account holder (SteveB@msft? :) ) to add
you in as a developer, which should allow you to do profiles and add
devices, but given that you only get 100 devices, having an apple
account per team, but publishing one the one official MSFT one when
you are ready, might be a better way ($99 per team, but still, not
bank breaking)

You could do an adhoc package with your developer profile (tick the
"Enterprise and Adhoc" box under iOS IPA options for that build
profile, and pick developer as normal in Bundle Signing), but each
device you put it on needs to be  developer device (added via xcode).
You CAN (if you use testflight) re-sign the build once it's up there,
to add more devices (or remove). I've done that to add testers to an
existing build. But thats with a "proper" adhoc provisioning profile

Sorry, I'm a bit short on time this morning, so if it doesn't work,
email back with some more info. The forums are also a good place to go
- more people there :)

Cheers

Nic

Re: [MonoTouch] MonoDevelop integration with TestFlight

[Nic Wise]

Yes, you still need a profile for testflight - you need a profile
(developer, adhoc or appstore) for _everyone_ application which goes
on a device.

Just some (developer) are done for you when you hit the "make this a
development phone" button - or download an app from the store

Re: [MonoTouch] Missing UIImage method?

[Nic Wise]

You could look at how it works, and do the same - its just sending a message.

eg:

public static class UIImageExtensions
{


/// 
/// Description A succinct label that identifies the
accessibility element, in a localized string.
/// 
public static UIImage CreateResizableImage_WithMode (this
UIImage image, UIEdgeInsets capInsets, UIImageResizingMode
resizingMode);
{

then, looking at how the one works without the resizing mode:

UIImage result;
using (new NSAutoreleasePool ())
{
if (this.IsDirectBinding)
{
result = (UIImage)Runtime.GetNSObject
(Messaging.IntPtr_objc_msgSend_UIEdgeInsets (base.Handle,
UIImage.selResizableImageWithCapInsets_, capInsets));
}
else
{
result = (UIImage)Runtime.GetNSObject
(Messaging.IntPtr_objc_msgSendSuper_UIEdgeInsets (base.SuperHandle,
UIImage.selResizableImageWithCapInsets_, capInsets));
}
}
return result;

So, your method might look like this:

public static UIImage Foo(this UIImage image, UIEdgeInsets capInsets,
UIImageResizingMode resizingMode)
{
UIImage result;
using (new NSAutoreleasePool ())
{
if (image.IsDirectBinding)
{
result = (UIImage)Runtime.GetNSObject
(Messaging.IntPtr_objc_msgSend_UIEdgeInsets_int (image.Handle, new
Selector("resizableImageWithCapInsets:resizingMode:"), capInsets,

resizingMode));
}
else
{
result = (UIImage)Runtime.GetNSObject
(Messaging.IntPtr_objc_msgSend_UIEdgeInsets_int (image.SuperHandle,
new Selector("resizableImageWithCapInsets:resizingMode:"), capInsets,

resizingMode));
}
}
return result;
}

PROBLEMS: IsDirectBinding: I'm not sure how you get that. It's
protected, so you MIGHT need to make

public class MDImage : UIImage

and put the method in there. I think it has something to do with the
simulator vrs not Someone like Rolf or Sebastien might be able to
help on that tho - if they dont pop up here, ask on the forums.

Re: [MonoTouch] Missing UIImage method?

[Nic Wise]

It also would make sense to have that as an overload for
CreateResizableImage - looking at the code (CMD-D on the method), its
done as a constructor, but its sending an instance method message.

File a bug in bugzilla? (or tell me, and I will)

Re: [MonoTouch] UISegmentedControll without rounded edges

[Nic Wise]

Hi Shawn (second time, this time without the image)

How do you mean "the styling capabilities with UIKit are ver poor"?

Looking at what you have there, UIAppearance should be able to do that?
Or do you need to support iOS4 (not 5+)?

Curious, as I've not had issues with UIAppearance except a very few cases.

Re: [MonoTouch] SoapFormatter

[Nic Wise]

I suggest you either post on the forums (forums.xamarin.com) or email
supp...@xamarin.com - It looks like the SoapFormatter might be part of
Remoting, which isn't in MonoTouch (and, I suspect, never will be).
There may be a workaround which gives you the same output tho.

Is there something in WCF which could do the same? Some of the WCF
stack is on Monotouch. This might help, too:

Re: [MonoTouch] Why is my initial Plain UITableView rendering not ok.

[Nic Wise]

Hi

I tried running your code yesterday (this has been sitting in my
"things to look into" since you posted it, I just had servers down in
the day job, so I didn't have time to look into it)

Glad you got it working!

Re: [MonoTouch] UISegmentedControll without rounded edges

[Nic Wise]

Hi

According to the Apple docs, you have a choice of:

UISegmentedControlStylePlain,
   UISegmentedControlStyleBordered,
   UISegmentedControlStyleBar,
   UISegmentedControlStyleBezeled,

http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/uikit/reference/UISegmentedControl_Class/Reference/UISegmentedControl.html

If you just throw a number in there, it might work, but you also might
get rejected.

You COULD use the UIAppearance API's and see if you can replace the
whole background - that might work better and more reliably?

UISegmentedControl.Appearance.SetBackgroundImage(theImage,
UIControlState.Normal, UIBarMetrics.Default)

tho that will effect all of them

Re: [MonoTouch] Iphone Show Modal Below NavBar

[Nic Wise]

I'm not sure that you could show something modal _and_ still show the nav bar.

you could try putting a nav bar sized transparent view there, so it
shows whats under it? Messy, but it might work. The user couldn't
interact with it.

you could also add the view into the UINavigationController as normal,
but use an animation to move it in from the bottom. Xamarin have a
seminar on that kind of thing: "Delighting Your Users With
CoreAnimation" -> http://xamarin.com/seminars

A view ca ne animated like any other property.

You could also add a NavBar into your new view, and make it look the
same as the one it's covering. Also possibly messy, but that would get
you the same result.

Re: [MonoTouch] Dock UIButtons @ DialogViewController

[Nic Wise]

I'd suggest you work out the location (based on the screen height),
and then add a toolbar (with buttons or a segmented control) or even
just a normal UIView into whatever the parent view of the
DialogViewController is. IE, whatever you added the DVC into, add this
one in there, too.

If you add it after - or call BringSubviewToFront (or similar) then
it'll be on top of the dialog view controller. You could also make the
DVC a little smaller (not sure you can do this by default tho) so the
bottom element isn't obscured

You could also do it like this:

Window
  -UIView (takes up the whole screen)
-UIView (height is total height - size of toolbar, just to
constrain the size of the DVC)
  -DialogViewController
-ToolBar
 -Buttons or SegmentView

Re: [MonoTouch] Need Monotouch contractor to convert iPad app to iPhone app (graphics too)..

Hi Steve

You may need to provide some more info, eg screenshots or a link to
the app (I'd be interested, but I'm flat out until April or so) - and
asking on the forums (forum.xamarin.com) may get your infront of more
people.

Cheers

Re: [MonoTouch] Monotouch Dialog Issue with UnevenRows and Scrolled Event

[Nic Wise]

No problem.

Setting your own delegate isn't hardcore - thats just how AppKit / iOS
works. The Delegate (.NET version - TableView.Scrolled += etc) is just
a nice .NET-ism which Xamarin provides. 90% of the time it works
great. Now and again, you need to know what it's doing under the hood.

Re: [MonoTouch] Monotouch Dialog Issue with UnevenRows and Scrolled Event

[Nic Wise]

Well,

this.Root = root;

causes the Source to be recreated, which is where the UnevenRows thing
is set.  It's also handling the Scrolled event, I think.

I'm not sure how you get around it, but I think:

1. You create an uneven source (in Root = root;) then kill the Source
when you add the Scrolled event (adding an event will usually replace
any delegate - or source in this case - if thats where the event hooks
into)

2. You hook into the autogenerated delegate with your Scrolled +=
handleScrolled, but then the Root = root thing kills it.

I suggest that you override:

public virtual Source CreateSizingSource (bool unevenRows)
{
return unevenRows ? new SizingSource (this) : new Source (this);
}

and return your OWN Source / SizingSource. You one does it's own thing
in Scrolled, and I'd assume would do the same thing that SizingSource
does for size. The classes are public, so you might be able to:

public class MySource : DialogViewController.SizingSource
{
  public MySource(DialogViewController container) : base(container) {}
  public override void Scrolled (UIScrollView scrollView)
  {
base.Scrolled(scrollView);
//do your thing - maybe not even call the base!
  }

}

and

public override Source CreateSizingSource(bool unevenRows)
{
  return new MySource(this);
}

(and dont hook into TableView.Scrolled at all, BTW. If the scope on
the above doesn't work, you'll need to C+P the code out of github into
your own project)

BTW, the forums might be a better place for these - more people!

Re: [MonoTouch] MonoTouch.Dialog - my BackgroundUri does not work

[Nic Wise]

I stand corrected. I CLEARLY need to update my MT.D library!

Looking at the code:

https://github.com/migueldeicaza/MonoTouch.Dialog/blob/master/MonoTouch.Dialog/Elements.cs#L871

BackgroundUri is only used if BackgroundColor isn't set. So make sure
thats null. The Uri uses the image loader, so it might require a HTTP
url, not a file one. You could use BackgroundColor with
UIColor.FromPattern and pass in your local image (load it with
UIImage.FromFile or FromBundle)

which is what the Uri one is doing anyway - it's just doing it
using the backgroud thread.

Re: [MonoTouch] MonoTouch.Dialog - my BackgroundUri does not work

[Nic Wise]

I've never seen a BackgroundUri property. I've seen Background, which
is normally a UIView (and you can load a UIImage into it with new
UIImageView(UIImage.FromFile("your filename.png")) )?

that said, I dont use styledstringelement much, so I might have missed it :)

Re: [MonoTouch] ViewControllerSelected, change to root viewcontroller

[Nic Wise]

Have a look at the NavigationController for that tab (or the
NavigationItem, I don't remember at the moment, but you can get one
from the other)

There is a method on there called something like
"PopToRootViewController", which will throw you right back to the top
of the stack.

If you can't find it, yell out and I'll dig some code out.

Re: [MonoTouch] Fwd: App crashes before starting

[Nic Wise]

you can check which architectures are in the .a file with lipo, eg:

# lipo libTestFlight.a -info
Architectures in the fat file: libTestFlight.a are: armv6 armv7 i386

If you don't have armv7, I'm not sure which other 3 you WOULD have tho
- the only possibilities are armv6, armv7, armv7s and i386

If you are using the iOS6 SDK, you NEED i386 (simulator) and armv7 at
a minimum - and armv7s if you want to build for that (iPhone 5 only)

Re: [MonoTouch] Where is NSTextAlignment?

[Nic Wise]

I think this might be a bug in 6.0.8 (or rather, an omission). File it
in Bugzilla?

Re: [MonoTouch] Blank Dialog EntryElement text on device

[Nic Wise]

I was setting this in an app the other day. Not seeing it now. Neither
the app nor the phone has changed.

VERY weird. VERY not reproducible too :(

Re: [MonoTouch] Trying to compile PLP on Mono for MAC with MonoTouch

Ah ok. Maybe ask on the cross platform forum? (you did on the MT forum).

Re: [MonoTouch] Trying to compile PLP on Mono for MAC with MonoTouch

[Nic Wise]

MonoTouch uses it's own internal mono, which is 2.10.something I
think. So if you built with 3.0.3, it's not going to work - it uses a
different corelib, and can't link it properly.

Whats PLP?
