Sometimes syntax highlighting does not work on Xcode 4. Syntax highlighting is an important feature to developers. But there is no "Rebuild Code Sense" menu on Xcode 4. We can do it with following steps:
1. Xcode menu: Window->Organizer
2. Go to Projects tab
3. Choose your project on the left panel.
4. Click "Delete…" button after the Derived Data on the right panel.
Xcode will start to rebuild code sense of your project.
The default code set of Localizable.strings is UTF-16. Actually I don't care what code set it is. But git/gitX/SourceTree does not recognize UTF-16 (Stupid!). They treat UTF-16 Localizable.strings as a binary file and reject to diff or merge. This is a very big problem if you work in a team.
Google says we can make git support UTF-16. I tried, but failed. I have to convert Localizable.strings into UTF-8. (Actually before converting, I have manually merged by myself.) Surprisingly, git/SourceTree still says it is a binary file and cannot diff. It's OK. Just commit. Git says it just because the history files are still UTF-16. If you make any new changes, git can diff and merge it. Great!
When the soft keyboard appears, we need to re-arrange the UI controls. I move the control up a little bit in keyboardWillShow handler:
frame.origin.y -= CONSTANT;
control.frame = frame;
But there is an annoying bug (or behavior) about non-English language keyboard on iOS 5. If you are using English keyboard, you will receive keyboardWillShow notification once. It is good. But if you are using some language keyboard like Chinese, you will receive the same notification TWICE! That means the above code will move the control up twice.
Some non-English language keyboard has an additional line at the top, used to choose words. Sounds like that additional line causes this problem.
The solution is simple. Just use hard-coded positions. And the additional line on some non-English language keyboards may cover parts of your UI on iOS 5. You have to leave enough space for keyboards. If your textField requires English characters only, you can force the keyboard to show English:
textField.keyboardType = UIKeyboardTypeASCIICapable;
AppKit is old and is not as convenient as UIKit. But we have to use it on Mac app development.
"Scroll a scrollview to top" sounds easy, but actually it isn't. If you assign a documentView to a NSScrollView, you will see it scrolls to the bottom. (Very stupid!) The doc did not mention how to scroll to top. I found a way to control the vertical scroller. I can set the scroller to top, but the scrollView is still at bottom!
This post (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4506391/nsscrollview-jumping-to-bottom-on-scroll) inspired me. I got the solution (of cause, I post my answer on stackoverflow too):
// Scroll the vertical scroller to top
if ([_scrollView hasVerticalScroller]) {
_scrollView.verticalScroller.floatValue = 0;
}
// Scroll the contentView to top
[_scrollView.contentView scrollToPoint:NSMakePoint(0, ((NSView*)_scrollView.documentView).frame.size.height - _scrollView.contentSize.height)];
proc_pidinfo is a very useful function to get a Mac OS X process's info such as the size of resident memory, consumed CPU time.
However, sometimes, the returned info is not correct. For example, a little process's resident memory becomes 4GB. Apple does not provide any document about this function, and I did not see useful comments in the header files.
I am lucky enough to see code snippet in the Apple open source file: http://www.opensource.apple.com/source/lsof/lsof-28/lsof/dialects/darwin/libproc/dproc.c. When we call proc_pidinfo, we must check the returned value. If the returned value is not identical to the size of output data, the output data is wrong.
nb = proc_pidinfo(pid, PROC_PIDTASKALLINFO, 0, &ti, sizeof(ti));
if (nb <= 0) {
if (errno == ESRCH)
continue;
if (!Fwarn) {
(void) fprintf(stderr, "%s: PID %d information error: %s\n",
Pn, pid, strerror(errno));
}
continue;
} else if (nb < sizeof(ti)) {
(void) fprintf(stderr,
"%s: PID %d: proc_pidinfo(PROC_PIDTASKALLINFO);\n",
Pn, pid);
(void) fprintf(stderr,
" too few bytes; expected %ld, got %d\n",
sizeof(ti), nb);
Exit(1);
}
I checked the processes with correct info. They are all my processes (not system processes). Seems like my app runs in user mode and it does not have privileges to get info of system processes.
If you want to let your user post something from your app onto Facebook, you need to register a Facebook app and call Facebook SDK to post messages. But if you have a free version and a paid version, you would like to share the same Facebook App ID.
Just follow Facebook tutorial to register Facebook App and config your apps. https://developers.facebook.com/docs/mobile/ios/build/
The only one thing I need to mention is you must leave 'iOS Bundle ID' empty.
From Facebook doc page:
iOS Bundle ID - (Optional) You may set this to match the bundle ID for your iOS app. If you add this setting then the bundle ID of your app will be checked before authorizing the user. The benefit of this setting for SSO is if the user has already authorized your app they will not be asked to authorize it when they access your app from a new device.
