Adding Custom Fonts in ios

1) Add the .TTF or .OTF font file/s you wish to use as a resource

2) Open your info.plist and create a new key called UIAppFonts(Fonts provided by application), set the key to be an array type.

3) For each font you want to use in your app, add it as a new object in the array with its full name and extension and save the info.plist when finished

4) Now in your code you can simply call

[UIFont fontWithName:@”Insert font name here” size:18]

 

 

Scrolling Images in Image Gallery iphone

for (view in subviews)

if ([view isKindOfClass:[UIImageView class]] && view.tag > 0)

{

CGRect frame = view.frame;

frame.origin = CGPointMake(curXLoc, 0);

view.frame = frame;

curXLoc += (kScrollObjWidth);

}

}

// set the content size so it can be scrollable

[FirstScrollView setContentSize:CGSizeMake((kNumImages * kScrollObjWidth), [FirstScrollView bounds].size.height)];

}

– (void)viewDidLoad

{

 

// 1. setup the scrollview for multiple images and add it to the view controller

//

// note: the following can be done in Interface Builder, but we show this in code for clarity

[FirstScrollView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor blackColor]];

[FirstScrollView setCanCancelContentTouches:NO];

FirstScrollView.indicatorStyle = UIScrollViewIndicatorStyleWhite;

FirstScrollView.clipsToBounds = YES; // default is NO, we want to restrict drawing within our scrollview

FirstScrollView.scrollEnabled = YES;

FirstScrollView.pagingEnabled = YES;

for (i = 1; i <= kNumImages; i++)

{

NSString *imageName = [NSString stringWithFormat:@”Snap%d.jpg”, i];

UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:imageName];

UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:image];

CGRect rect = imageView.frame;

rect.size.height = kScrollObjHeight;

rect.size.width = kScrollObjWidth;

[imageView release];

}

[self layoutScrollImages];

}

– (void)dealloc

{

[FirstScrollView release];

[super dealloc];

}

– (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning

{

}

in .xib file add a scroll view with (353.0,258.0)  frame

iPhone Application Lifecycle

I just went through one presentation for iPhone application. So this post to share what I understood.
First of all the main focus is how actually iPhone applications work.
When user touches the icon of the application main() gets called by the system.
main() creates the autoreleasepool and starts the application with UIApplicationMain object. UIApplicationMain creates the instance of the UIApplication which actually starts the application.
UIApplication loads the main nib file and sets the application. Then UIApplication forwards the events to interface elements.
For terminating the application user taps home button, UIApplication tells the delegate that application is terminating. And so UIApplication gets exited , then main gets exited. This way the process ends.
This is the way iPhone applications works.
Happy coding…..!!!!

 

converting Float to NSString

Float myFloat=3.85;

NSString *myString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@”%f”, myFloat];

Conversion Formulas

BEGIN WITH FORMULA for CONVERTING
(Multiply Number of Units by Conversion Number to Obtain New Number of Units)
millimeters (mm) millimeters x 0.03937 = inches
centimeters (cm) centimeters x 10 = millimeters
centimeters x 0.3937 = inches
meters (m) meters x 1000 = millimeters
meters x 100 = centimeters
meters x 3.281 = feet
meters per second x 3.281 = feet per second
square meters x 10.76 = square feet
square meters x 1.196 = square yards
square meters x 0.0002471 = square acres
cubic meters x 35.31 = cubic feet
cubic meters x 1.308 = cubic yards
cubic meters x 0.0008107 = acre-feet
cubic meters per second x 35.31 = cubic feet per second
cubic meters per second x 15,850.00 = gallons per minute
kilometers (km) kilometers x 1000 = meters
kilometers x 0.6214 = miles
square kilometers x 0.3861 = square miles
cubic kilometers x 0.2399 = cubic miles
inches (in) inches x 25.4 = millimeters
inches x 2.54 = centimeters
square inch x 6.4516 = square centimeters
feet (ft) feet x 12 = inches
feet x 0.3048 = meters
square feet x 0.09294 = square meters
cubic feet x 0.02832 = cubic meters
acre-foot x 1233 = cubic meters
yard (yd) yard x 3 = feet
yard x 0.9144 = meters
miles (mi) miles x 5280 = feet
miles x 1609.3 = meters
miles x 1.609 = kilometers
square miles x 2.590 = square kilometers
cubic miles x 4.168 = cubic kilometers
acre-foot (acre-ft) acre-ft x 1233 = cubic meters
microradian microradian x 0.2 = second of arc
Temperature Conversions
degrees Fahrenheit (F)
degrees Celsius (C) (F – 32) x 5/9 = C
(C x 1.8) + 32 = F
(C x 2) – (C x 2 x 0.1) + 32 = F
a) double the Celsius temperature
b) subtract 10% of the doubled temperature
c) add 32
