Programs & Examples On #Cocoa touch

To complete August answer, an possible implementation of the proposed function (see UITextField's delegate).

I did not test domness code, but mine do not get stuck if the user reached the limit, and it is compatible with a new string that comes replace a smaller or equal one.

-(BOOL)textField:(UITextField *)textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range replacementString:(NSString *)string {
    //limit the size :
    int limit = 20;
    return !([textField.text length]>limit && [string length] > range.length);
}

You can download image without blocking UI with using NSURLSessionDataTask.

+(void)downloadImageWithURL:(NSURL *)url completionBlock:(void (^)(BOOL succeeded, UIImage *image))completionBlock
 {
 NSURLSessionDataTask*  _sessionTask = [[NSURLSession sharedSession] dataTaskWithRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url]
                                            completionHandler:^(NSData *data, NSURLResponse *response, NSError *error) {
    if (error != nil)
        {
          if ([error code] == NSURLErrorAppTransportSecurityRequiresSecureConnection)
                {
                    completionBlock(NO,nil);
                }
         }
    else
     {
      [[NSOperationQueue mainQueue] addOperationWithBlock: ^{
                        dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
                        UIImage *image = [[UIImage alloc] initWithData:data];
                        completionBlock(YES,image);

                        });

      }];

     }

                                            }];
    [_sessionTask resume];
}

Swift 3

// Default state (previously `.Normal`)
button.setImage(UIImage(named: "image1"), for: [])

// Highlighted
button.setImage(UIImage(named: "image2"), for: .highlighted)

// Selected
button.setImage(UIImage(named: "image3"), for: .selected)

// Selected + Highlighted
button.setImage(UIImage(named: "image4"), for: [.selected, .highlighted])

To set the background image we can use setBackgroundImage(_:for:)

Swift 2.x

// Normal
button.setImage(UIImage(named: "image1"), forState: .Normal)

// Highlighted
button.setImage(UIImage(named: "image2"), forState: .Highlighted)

// Selected
button.setImage(UIImage(named: "image3"), forState: .Selected)

// Selected + Highlighted
button.setImage(UIImage(named: "image4"), forState: [.Selected, .Highlighted])

Another advantage: Quick compilation

If you include a header file, any change in it causes the current file also to compile but this is not the case if the class name is included as @class name. Of course you will need to include the header in source file

Try this. It worked for me:

- (void) viewDidLoad
{
  [super viewDidLoad];

  // Without ARC
  //self.tableView.tableFooterView = [[[UIView alloc] init] autorelease];

  // With ARC, tried on Xcode 5
  self.tableView.tableFooterView = [UIView new];
}

I modified @Simpa solution a little bit.........

override func viewDidLoad() 
{

    super.viewDidLoad()
    NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().addObserver(self, selector: Selector("makeSpaceForKeyboard:"), name:UIKeyboardWillShowNotification, object: nil);
    NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().addObserver(self, selector: Selector("makeSpaceForKeyboard:"), name:UIKeyboardWillHideNotification, object: nil);
}

deinit{
    NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().removeObserver(self)
}

var keyboardIsVisible = false
override func makeSpaceForKeyboard(notification: NSNotification) {

    let info = notification.userInfo!
    let keyboardHeight:CGFloat = (info[UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] as! NSValue).CGRectValue().size.height
    let duration:Double = info[UIKeyboardAnimationDurationUserInfoKey] as! Double

    if notification.name == UIKeyboardWillShowNotification && keyboardIsVisible == false{

        keyboardIsVisible = true

        UIView.animateWithDuration(duration, animations: { () -> Void in
            var frame = self.view.frame
            frame.size.height = frame.size.height - keyboardHeight
            self.view.frame = frame
        })

    } else if keyboardIsVisible == true && notification.name == UIKeyboardWillShowNotification{

    }else {
        keyboardIsVisible = false

        UIView.animateWithDuration(duration, animations: { () -> Void in
            var frame = self.view.frame
            frame.size.height = frame.size.height + keyboardHeight
            self.view.frame = frame
        })
    }
}

Use this simple code to scroll tableView bottom

NSInteger rows = [tableName numberOfRowsInSection:0];
if(rows > 0) {
    [tableName scrollToRowAtIndexPath:[NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:rows-1 inSection:0]
                     atScrollPosition:UITableViewScrollPositionBottom
                             animated:YES];
}

MFMailComposeViewController is the way to go after the release of iPhone OS 3.0 software. You can look at the sample code or the tutorial I wrote.

UIScreen class lets you find screen resolution in Points and Pixels.

Screen resolutions is measured in Points or Pixels. It should never be confused with screen size. A smaller screen size can have higher resolution.

UIScreen's 'bounds.width' return rectangular size in Points

UIScreen's 'nativeBounds.width' return rectangular size in Pixels.This value is detected as PPI ( Point per inch ). Shows the sharpness & clarity of the Image on a device.

You can use UIScreen class to detect all these values.

Swift3

// Normal Screen Bounds - Detect Screen size in Points.
let width = UIScreen.main.bounds.width
let height = UIScreen.main.bounds.height
print("\n width:\(width) \n height:\(height)")

// Native Bounds - Detect Screen size in Pixels.
let nWidth = UIScreen.main.nativeBounds.width
let nHeight = UIScreen.main.nativeBounds.height
print("\n Native Width:\(nWidth) \n Native Height:\(nHeight)")

Console

width:736.0 
height:414.0

Native Width:1080.0 
Native Height:1920.0

Swift 2.x

//Normal Bounds - Detect Screen size in Points.
    let width  = UIScreen.mainScreen.bounds.width
    let height = UIScreen.mainScreen.bounds.height

// Native Bounds - Detect Screen size in Pixels.
    let nWidth  = UIScreen.mainScreen.nativeBounds.width
    let nHeight = UIScreen.mainScreen.nativeBounds.height

ObjectiveC

// Normal Bounds - Detect Screen size in Points.
CGFloat *width  = [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.width;
CGFloat *height = [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.height;

// Native Bounds - Detect Screen size in Pixels.
CGFloat *width  = [UIScreen mainScreen].nativeBounds.size.width
CGFloat *height = [UIScreen mainScreen].nativeBounds.size.width

You can use Core Graphics to draw the gradient, as pointed to in Mike's response. As a more detailed example, you could create a UIView subclass to use as a background for your UILabel. In that UIView subclass, override the drawRect: method and insert code similar to the following:

- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect 
{
    CGContextRef currentContext = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();

    CGGradientRef glossGradient;
    CGColorSpaceRef rgbColorspace;
    size_t num_locations = 2;
    CGFloat locations[2] = { 0.0, 1.0 };
    CGFloat components[8] = { 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 0.35,  // Start color
         1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 0.06 }; // End color

    rgbColorspace = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB();
    glossGradient = CGGradientCreateWithColorComponents(rgbColorspace, components, locations, num_locations);

    CGRect currentBounds = self.bounds;
    CGPoint topCenter = CGPointMake(CGRectGetMidX(currentBounds), 0.0f);
    CGPoint midCenter = CGPointMake(CGRectGetMidX(currentBounds), CGRectGetMidY(currentBounds));
    CGContextDrawLinearGradient(currentContext, glossGradient, topCenter, midCenter, 0);

    CGGradientRelease(glossGradient);
    CGColorSpaceRelease(rgbColorspace); 
}

This particular example creates a white, glossy-style gradient that is drawn from the top of the UIView to its vertical center. You can set the UIView's backgroundColor to whatever you like and this gloss will be drawn on top of that color. You can also draw a radial gradient using the CGContextDrawRadialGradient function.

You just need to size this UIView appropriately and add your UILabel as a subview of it to get the effect you desire.

EDIT (4/23/2009): Per St3fan's suggestion, I have replaced the view's frame with its bounds in the code. This corrects for the case when the view's origin is not (0,0).

This is what I did:

- (void)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView didSelectRow:(NSInteger)row inComponent:(NSInteger)component {

    selectedEntry = [allEntries objectAtIndex:row];

}

The selectedEntry is a NSString and will hold the currently selected entry in the pickerview. I am new to objective C but I think this is much easier.

JSON parsing using NSJSONSerialization

   NSString* path  = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"data" ofType:@"json"];
   
    //Here you can take JSON string from your URL ,I am using json file
    NSString* jsonString = [[NSString alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:path encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:nil];
    NSData* jsonData = [jsonString dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
    NSError *jsonError;
    NSArray *jsonDataArray = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:[jsonString dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding] options:kNilOptions error:&jsonError];
  
    NSLog(@"jsonDataArray: %@",jsonDataArray);

    NSDictionary *jsonObject = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:jsonData options:kNilOptions error:&jsonError];
if(jsonObject !=nil){
   // NSString *errorCode=[NSMutableString stringWithFormat:@"%@",[jsonObject objectForKey:@"response"]];
   
        
        if(![[jsonObject objectForKey:@"#data"] isEqual:@""]){
            
            NSMutableArray *array=[jsonObject objectForKey:@"#data"];
             // NSLog(@"array: %@",array);
            NSLog(@"array: %d",array.count);  
            
            int k = 0;
            for(int z = 0; z<array.count;z++){
                
                NSString *strfd = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d",k];
                NSDictionary *dicr = jsonObject[@"#data"][strfd];
                k=k+1;
                // NSLog(@"dicr: %@",dicr);
                 NSLog(@"Firstname - Lastname   : %@ - %@",
                     [NSMutableString stringWithFormat:@"%@",[dicr objectForKey:@"user_first_name"]],
                     [NSMutableString stringWithFormat:@"%@",[dicr objectForKey:@"user_last_name"]]);
            }
            
          }

     }

You can see the Console output as below :

Firstname - Lastname : Chandra Bhusan - Pandey

Firstname - Lastname : Kalaiyarasan - Balu

Firstname - Lastname : (null) - (null)

Firstname - Lastname : Girija - S

Firstname - Lastname : Girija - S

Firstname - Lastname : (null) - (null)

- (UIImage *)image:(UIImage*)originalImage scaledToSize:(CGSize)size
{
    //avoid redundant drawing
    if (CGSizeEqualToSize(originalImage.size, size))
    {
        return originalImage;
    }

    //create drawing context
    UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(size, NO, 0.0f);

    //draw
    [originalImage drawInRect:CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f, size.width, size.height)];

    //capture resultant image
    UIImage *image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

    //return image
    return image;
}

To be more international (and not only US colored ;-) ) just replace in the code above by

-(NSNumber *) getNumber
{
  NSString* localeIdentifier = [[NSLocale autoupdatingCurrentLocale] localeIdentifier];
  NSLocale *l_en = [[NSLocale alloc] initWithLocaleIdentifier: localeIdentifier] ;
  return [self getNumberWithLocale: [l_en autorelease] ];
}

This works for both iOS 6.1 and iOS 7:

- (void)textViewDidChange:(UITextView *)textView
{
    CGFloat fixedWidth = textView.frame.size.width;
    CGSize newSize = [textView sizeThatFits:CGSizeMake(fixedWidth, MAXFLOAT)];
    CGRect newFrame = textView.frame;
    newFrame.size = CGSizeMake(fmaxf(newSize.width, fixedWidth), newSize.height);
    textView.frame = newFrame;
}

Or in Swift (Works with Swift 4.1 in iOS 11)

let fixedWidth = textView.frame.size.width
let newSize = textView.sizeThatFits(CGSize(width: fixedWidth, height: CGFloat.greatestFiniteMagnitude))
textView.frame.size = CGSize(width: max(newSize.width, fixedWidth), height: newSize.height)

If you want support for iOS 6.1 then you should also:

textview.scrollEnabled = NO;

you can also find all the entity names, and delete them by name. Its a longer version but works well, that way you dont have to work with persistence store

 - (void)clearCoreData
{
NSError *error;
NSEntityDescription *des = [NSEntityDescription entityForName:@"Any_Entity_Name" inManagedObjectContext:_managedObjectContext];
NSManagedObjectModel *model = [des managedObjectModel];
NSArray *entityNames = [[model entities] valueForKey:@"name"];

for (NSString *entityName in entityNames){

    NSFetchRequest *deleteAll = [NSFetchRequest fetchRequestWithEntityName:entityName];
    NSArray *matches = [self.database.managedObjectContext executeFetchRequest:deleteAll error:&error];

}
    if (matches.count > 0){
        for (id obj in matches){

            [_managedObjectContext deleteObject:obj];
        }
       [self.database.managedObjectContext save:&error];
    }
}

for "Any_Entity_Name" just give any one of your entity's name, we only need to figure out the entity description your entities are within. ValueForKey@"name" will return all the entity names. Finally, dont forget to save.

Create the reference of image....

UIImage *rainyImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"rainy.jpg"];

displaying image in image view... imagedisplay is reference of imageview:

imagedisplay.image = rainyImage;

convert it into NSData by passing UIImage reference and provide compression quality in float values:

NSData *imgData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(rainyImage, 0.9);

None of these answers worked for me. After about an hour, I figured out something very insidious:

I have a table view inside a cell of another table view. I decided to make an enclosing view that contains the inner table view, among other things. I called this view contentView and hooked it up in the xib.

Turns out that UITableViewCell already has a contentView and does weird things with it. The issue resolved itself when I renamed the property to mainContentView and reconnected the view to this renamed property.

You can use this repo: GSBorderLabel

It's quite simple:

GSBorderLabel *myLabel = [[GSBorderLabel alloc] initWithTextColor:aColor
                                                     andBorderColor:anotherColor
                                                     andBorderWidth:2];

As of iOS 11 this is publicly available in UITableViewDelegate. Here's some sample code:

- (UISwipeActionsConfiguration *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView trailingSwipeActionsConfigurationForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    UIContextualAction *delete = [UIContextualAction contextualActionWithStyle:UIContextualActionStyleDestructive
                                                                         title:@"DELETE"
                                                                       handler:^(UIContextualAction * _Nonnull action, __kindof UIView * _Nonnull sourceView, void (^ _Nonnull completionHandler)(BOOL)) {
                                                                           NSLog(@"index path of delete: %@", indexPath);
                                                                           completionHandler(YES);
                                                                       }];

    UIContextualAction *rename = [UIContextualAction contextualActionWithStyle:UIContextualActionStyleNormal
                                                                         title:@"RENAME"
                                                                       handler:^(UIContextualAction * _Nonnull action, __kindof UIView * _Nonnull sourceView, void (^ _Nonnull completionHandler)(BOOL)) {
                                                                           NSLog(@"index path of rename: %@", indexPath);
                                                                           completionHandler(YES);
                                                                       }];

    UISwipeActionsConfiguration *swipeActionConfig = [UISwipeActionsConfiguration configurationWithActions:@[rename, delete]];
    swipeActionConfig.performsFirstActionWithFullSwipe = NO;

    return swipeActionConfig;
}

Also available:

- (UISwipeActionsConfiguration *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView leadingSwipeActionsConfigurationForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath;

Docs: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uitableviewdelegate/2902367-tableview?language=objc

Swift 5:

extension UIImage {
    func cropped(rect: CGRect) -> UIImage? {
        guard let cgImage = cgImage else { return nil }

        UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(rect.size, false, 0)
        let context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()

        context?.translateBy(x: 0.0, y: self.size.height)
        context?.scaleBy(x: 1.0, y: -1.0)
        context?.draw(cgImage, in: CGRect(x: rect.minX, y: rect.minY, width: self.size.width, height: self.size.height), byTiling: false)


        let croppedImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
        UIGraphicsEndImageContext()

        return croppedImage
    }
}

Swift 4.2 version:

let indexPath:IndexPath = IndexPath(row: 0, section: 0)
self.tableView.scrollToRow(at: indexPath, at: .none, animated: true)

Enum: These are the available tableView scroll positions - here for reference. You don't need to include this section in your code.

public enum UITableViewScrollPosition : Int {

case None
case Top
case Middle
case Bottom
}

DidSelectRow:

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {

    let theCell:UITableViewCell? = tableView.cellForRowAtIndexPath(indexPath)

    if let theCell = theCell {
        var tableViewCenter:CGPoint = tableView.contentOffset
        tableViewCenter.y += tableView.frame.size.height/2

        tableView.contentOffset = CGPointMake(0, theCell.center.y-65)
        tableView.reloadData()
    }

}

Swift 4

Setup your UIViewController with this extension method once e.g in viewDidLoad:

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    self.setupHideKeyboardOnTap()
}

and the keyboard will be dismissed even by tapping on the NavigationBar.

import UIKit
extension UIViewController {
    /// Call this once to dismiss open keyboards by tapping anywhere in the view controller
    func setupHideKeyboardOnTap() {
        self.view.addGestureRecognizer(self.endEditingRecognizer())
        self.navigationController?.navigationBar.addGestureRecognizer(self.endEditingRecognizer())
    }

    /// Dismisses the keyboard from self.view
    private func endEditingRecognizer() -> UIGestureRecognizer {
        let tap = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self.view, action: #selector(self.view.endEditing(_:)))
        tap.cancelsTouchesInView = false
        return tap
    }
}

NSTimeInterval milisecondedDate = ([[NSDate date] timeIntervalSince1970] * 1000);

Swift 4

To change the background color, text label color and font for the Header View of a UITableView Section, simply override willDisplayHeaderView for your table view like so:

override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, willDisplayHeaderView view: UIView, forSection section: Int) {
        let header = view as! UITableViewHeaderFooterView
        header.backgroundView?.backgroundColor = .white
        header.textLabel?.textColor = .black
        header.textLabel?.font = UIFont(name: "Helvetica-Bold", size: 14)
} 

This worked perfectly for me; hope it does help you too!

I think it has a bug here.
For me, I delete Pods folder and Podfile.lock and do the pod install again to solve the problem.
This message is ignoring..:(

Try this code to 100% work....

UIImageView * imageview = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(20,100, 80, 80)];
imageview.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"myimage.jpg"];
[self.view  addSubview:imageview];

The way to approach this is to tell the tableView to remove and add rows and sections with the

insertRowsAtIndexPaths:withRowAnimation:,
deleteRowsAtIndexPaths:withRowAnimation:,
insertSections:withRowAnimation: and
deleteSections:withRowAnimation:

methods of UITableView.

When you call these methods, the table will animate in/out the items you requested, then call reloadData on itself so you can update the state after this animation. This part is important - if you animate away everything but don't change the data returned by the table's dataSource, the rows will appear again after the animation completes.

So, your application flow would be:

[self setTableIsInSecondState:YES];

[myTable deleteSections:[NSIndexSet indexSetWithIndex:0] withRowAnimation:YES]];

As long as your table's dataSource methods return the correct new set of sections and rows by checking [self tableIsInSecondState] (or whatever), this will achieve the effect you're looking for.

A simple way to do so is with Audio Services:

#import <AudioToolbox/AudioToolbox.h> 
...    
AudioServicesPlaySystemSound(kSystemSoundID_Vibrate);

I got the following UIAlertView initialization code to compile without errors (I thing the last, varyadic part is tricky perhaps). But I had to make sure the class of self (which I am passing as the delegate) was adopting the UIAlertViewDelegate protocol for the compile errors to go away:

let alertView = UIAlertView(
                  title: "My Title",
                  message: "My Message",
                  delegate: self,
                  cancelButtonTitle: "Cancel",
                  otherButtonTitles: "OK"
                )

By the way, this is the error I was getting (as of Xcode 6.4):

Cannot find an initializer for type 'UIAlertView' that accepts an argument list of type '(title: String, message: String, delegate: MyViewController, cancelButtonTitle: String, otherButtonTitles: String)'

As others mentioned, you should migrate to UIAlertController if you can target iOS 8.x+. To support iOS 7, use the code above (iOS 6 is not supported by Swift).

if ([linkedStr isEqual:(id)[NSNull null]])
                {
                    _linkedinLbl.text=@"No";
                }else{
                    _linkedinLbl.text=@"Yes";
                }

My App has been rejected recently bc I've used an undocumented method. Literally:

"Unfortunately it cannot be added to the App Store because it is using a private API. Use of non-public APIs, which as outlined in the iPhone Developer Program License Agreement section 3.3.1 is prohibited:

"3.3.1 Applications may only use Documented APIs in the manner prescribed by Apple and must not use or call any private APIs."

The non-public API that is included in your application is terminateWithSuccess"

The easiest way to programmatically set a UIButton imageView in aspect fit mode :

Swift

button.contentHorizontalAlignment = .fill
button.contentVerticalAlignment = .fill
button.imageView?.contentMode = .scaleAspectFit

Objective-C

button.contentHorizontalAlignment = UIControlContentHorizontalAlignmentFill;
button.contentVerticalAlignment = UIControlContentVerticalAlignmentFill;
button.imageView.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit;

Note: You can change .scaleAspectFit (UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit) to .scaleAspectFill (UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFill) to set an aspect fill mode

And finally… there is CACornerMask in iOS11! With CACornerMask it can be done pretty easy:

let view = UIView()
view.clipsToBounds = true
view.layer.cornerRadius = 10
view.layer.maskedCorners = [.layerMaxXMinYCorner, .layerMinXMinYCorner] // Top right corner, Top left corner respectively

A simple check for iOS version less than 5 (all versions):

if([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] integerValue] < 5){
        // do something
};

If i understand what you mean, you have to initialize your controller with that style. Something like:

myTVContoller = [[UITableViewController alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewStyleGrouped];

For professional and nice looking buttons, you may check this custom button component. You can use it directly in your views and tableviews or modify the source code to make it meet your needs. Hope this helps.

Copy should be used for NSString. If it's Mutable, then it gets copied. If it's not, then it just gets retained. Exactly the semantics that you want in an app (let the type do what's best).

Determining the direction is fairly straightforward, but keep in mind that the direction can change several times over the course of a gesture. For example, if you have a scroll view with paging turned on and the user swipes to go to the next page, the initial direction could be rightward, but if you have bounce turned on, it will briefly be going in no direction at all and then briefly be going leftward.

To determine the direction, you'll need to use the UIScrollView scrollViewDidScroll delegate. In this sample, I created a variable named lastContentOffset which I use to compare the current content offset with the previous one. If it's greater, then the scrollView is scrolling right. If it's less then the scrollView is scrolling left:

// somewhere in the private class extension
@property (nonatomic, assign) CGFloat lastContentOffset;

// somewhere in the class implementation
- (void)scrollViewDidScroll:(UIScrollView *)scrollView {

    ScrollDirection scrollDirection;

    if (self.lastContentOffset > scrollView.contentOffset.x) {
        scrollDirection = ScrollDirectionRight;
    } else if (self.lastContentOffset < scrollView.contentOffset.x) {
        scrollDirection = ScrollDirectionLeft;
    }

    self.lastContentOffset = scrollView.contentOffset.x;

    // do whatever you need to with scrollDirection here.    
}

I'm using the following enum to define direction. Setting the first value to ScrollDirectionNone has the added benefit of making that direction the default when initializing variables:

typedef NS_ENUM(NSInteger, ScrollDirection) {
    ScrollDirectionNone,
    ScrollDirectionRight,
    ScrollDirectionLeft,
    ScrollDirectionUp,
    ScrollDirectionDown,
    ScrollDirectionCrazy,
};

FYI, I combined Keremk's answer with my original outline, cleaned-up the typos, generalized it to return an array of colors and got the whole thing to compile. Here is the result:

+ (NSArray*)getRGBAsFromImage:(UIImage*)image atX:(int)x andY:(int)y count:(int)count
{
    NSMutableArray *result = [NSMutableArray arrayWithCapacity:count];

    // First get the image into your data buffer
    CGImageRef imageRef = [image CGImage];
    NSUInteger width = CGImageGetWidth(imageRef);
    NSUInteger height = CGImageGetHeight(imageRef);
    CGColorSpaceRef colorSpace = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB();
    unsigned char *rawData = (unsigned char*) calloc(height * width * 4, sizeof(unsigned char));
    NSUInteger bytesPerPixel = 4;
    NSUInteger bytesPerRow = bytesPerPixel * width;
    NSUInteger bitsPerComponent = 8;
    CGContextRef context = CGBitmapContextCreate(rawData, width, height,
                    bitsPerComponent, bytesPerRow, colorSpace,
                    kCGImageAlphaPremultipliedLast | kCGBitmapByteOrder32Big);
    CGColorSpaceRelease(colorSpace);

    CGContextDrawImage(context, CGRectMake(0, 0, width, height), imageRef);
    CGContextRelease(context);

    // Now your rawData contains the image data in the RGBA8888 pixel format.
    NSUInteger byteIndex = (bytesPerRow * y) + x * bytesPerPixel;
    for (int i = 0 ; i < count ; ++i)
    {
        CGFloat alpha = ((CGFloat) rawData[byteIndex + 3] ) / 255.0f;
        CGFloat red   = ((CGFloat) rawData[byteIndex]     ) / alpha;
        CGFloat green = ((CGFloat) rawData[byteIndex + 1] ) / alpha;
        CGFloat blue  = ((CGFloat) rawData[byteIndex + 2] ) / alpha;
        byteIndex += bytesPerPixel;

        UIColor *acolor = [UIColor colorWithRed:red green:green blue:blue alpha:alpha];
        [result addObject:acolor];
    }

  free(rawData);

  return result;
}

Swift users can check out My Swift Answer for this question.
Or, check out Yedidya Reiss's Answer, which translates this Objective-C code to Swift.

Objective-C Users

The rest of this answer is written in Objective-C

App Store Connect

1. Go to appstoreconnect.apple.com and log in
2. Click My Apps then click the app you want do add the purchase to
3. Click the Features header, and then select In-App Purchases on the left
4. Click the + icon in the middle
5. For this tutorial, we are going to be adding an in-app purchase to remove ads, so choose non-consumable. If you were going to send a physical item to the user, or give them something that they can buy more than once, you would choose consumable.
6. For the reference name, put whatever you want (but make sure you know what it is)
7. For product id put tld.websitename.appname.referencename this will work the best, so for example, you could use com.jojodmo.blix.removeads
8. Choose cleared for sale and then choose price tier as 1 (99¢). Tier 2 would be $1.99, and tier 3 would be $2.99. The full list is available if you click view pricing matrix I recommend you use tier 1, because that's usually the most anyone will ever pay to remove ads.
9. Click the blue add language button, and input the information. This will ALL be shown to the customer, so don't put anything you don't want them seeing
10. For hosting content with Apple choose no
11. You can leave the review notes blank FOR NOW.
12. Skip the screenshot for review FOR NOW, everything we skip we will come back to.
13. Click 'save'

It could take a few hours for your product ID to register in App Store Connect, so be patient.

Setting up your project

Now that you've set up your in-app purchase information on App Store Connect, go into your Xcode project, and go to the application manager (blue page-like icon at the top of where your methods and header files are) click on your app under targets (should be the first one) then go to general. At the bottom, you should see linked frameworks and libraries click the little plus symbol and add the framework StoreKit.framework If you don't do this, the in-app purchase will NOT work!

If you are using Objective-C as the language for your app, you should skip these five steps. Otherwise, if you are using Swift, you can follow My Swift Answer for this question, here, or, if you prefer to use Objective-C for the In-App Purchase code but are using Swift in your app, you can do the following:

1. Create a new .h (header) file by going to File > New > File... (Command ? + N). This file will be referred to as "Your .h file" in the rest of the tutorial

2. When prompted, click Create Bridging Header. This will be our bridging header file. If you are not prompted, go to step 3. If you are prompted, skip step 3 and go directly to step 4.

3. Create another .h file named Bridge.h in the main project folder, Then go to the Application Manager (the blue page-like icon), then select your app in the Targets section, and click Build Settings. Find the option that says Swift Compiler - Code Generation, and then set the Objective-C Bridging Header option to Bridge.h

4. In your bridging header file, add the line #import "MyObjectiveCHeaderFile.h", where MyObjectiveCHeaderFile is the name of the header file that you created in step one. So, for example, if you named your header file InAppPurchase.h, you would add the line #import "InAppPurchase.h" to your bridge header file.

5. Create a new Objective-C Methods (.m) file by going to File > New > File... (Command ? + N). Name it the same as the header file you created in step 1. For example, if you called the file in step 1 InAppPurchase.h, you would call this new file InAppPurchase.m. This file will be referred to as "Your .m file" in the rest of the tutorial.

Coding

Now we're going to get into the actual coding. Add the following code into your .h file:

BOOL areAdsRemoved;

- (IBAction)restore;
- (IBAction)tapsRemoveAds;

Next, you need to import the StoreKit framework into your .m file, as well as add SKProductsRequestDelegate and SKPaymentTransactionObserver after your @interface declaration:

#import <StoreKit/StoreKit.h>

//put the name of your view controller in place of MyViewController
@interface MyViewController() <SKProductsRequestDelegate, SKPaymentTransactionObserver>

@end

@implementation MyViewController //the name of your view controller (same as above)
  //the code below will be added here
@end

and now add the following into your .m file, this part gets complicated, so I suggest that you read the comments in the code:

//If you have more than one in-app purchase, you can define both of
//of them here. So, for example, you could define both kRemoveAdsProductIdentifier
//and kBuyCurrencyProductIdentifier with their respective product ids
//
//for this example, we will only use one product

#define kRemoveAdsProductIdentifier @"put your product id (the one that we just made in App Store Connect) in here"

- (IBAction)tapsRemoveAds{
    NSLog(@"User requests to remove ads");

    if([SKPaymentQueue canMakePayments]){
        NSLog(@"User can make payments");
    
        //If you have more than one in-app purchase, and would like
        //to have the user purchase a different product, simply define 
        //another function and replace kRemoveAdsProductIdentifier with 
        //the identifier for the other product

        SKProductsRequest *productsRequest = [[SKProductsRequest alloc] initWithProductIdentifiers:[NSSet setWithObject:kRemoveAdsProductIdentifier]];
        productsRequest.delegate = self;
        [productsRequest start];
    
    }
    else{
        NSLog(@"User cannot make payments due to parental controls");
        //this is called the user cannot make payments, most likely due to parental controls
    }
}

- (void)productsRequest:(SKProductsRequest *)request didReceiveResponse:(SKProductsResponse *)response{
    SKProduct *validProduct = nil;
    int count = [response.products count];
    if(count > 0){
        validProduct = [response.products objectAtIndex:0];
        NSLog(@"Products Available!");
        [self purchase:validProduct];
    }
    else if(!validProduct){
        NSLog(@"No products available");
        //this is called if your product id is not valid, this shouldn't be called unless that happens.
    }
}

- (void)purchase:(SKProduct *)product{
    SKPayment *payment = [SKPayment paymentWithProduct:product];

    [[SKPaymentQueue defaultQueue] addTransactionObserver:self];
    [[SKPaymentQueue defaultQueue] addPayment:payment];
}

- (IBAction) restore{
    //this is called when the user restores purchases, you should hook this up to a button
    [[SKPaymentQueue defaultQueue] addTransactionObserver:self];
    [[SKPaymentQueue defaultQueue] restoreCompletedTransactions];
}

- (void) paymentQueueRestoreCompletedTransactionsFinished:(SKPaymentQueue *)queue
{
    NSLog(@"received restored transactions: %i", queue.transactions.count);
    for(SKPaymentTransaction *transaction in queue.transactions){
        if(transaction.transactionState == SKPaymentTransactionStateRestored){
            //called when the user successfully restores a purchase
            NSLog(@"Transaction state -> Restored");

            //if you have more than one in-app purchase product,
            //you restore the correct product for the identifier.
            //For example, you could use
            //if(productID == kRemoveAdsProductIdentifier)
            //to get the product identifier for the
            //restored purchases, you can use
            //
            //NSString *productID = transaction.payment.productIdentifier;
            [self doRemoveAds];
            [[SKPaymentQueue defaultQueue] finishTransaction:transaction];
            break;
        }
    }   
}

- (void)paymentQueue:(SKPaymentQueue *)queue updatedTransactions:(NSArray *)transactions{
    for(SKPaymentTransaction *transaction in transactions){
        //if you have multiple in app purchases in your app,
        //you can get the product identifier of this transaction
        //by using transaction.payment.productIdentifier
        //
        //then, check the identifier against the product IDs
        //that you have defined to check which product the user
        //just purchased            

        switch(transaction.transactionState){
            case SKPaymentTransactionStatePurchasing: NSLog(@"Transaction state -> Purchasing");
                //called when the user is in the process of purchasing, do not add any of your own code here.
                break;
            case SKPaymentTransactionStatePurchased:
            //this is called when the user has successfully purchased the package (Cha-Ching!)
                [self doRemoveAds]; //you can add your code for what you want to happen when the user buys the purchase here, for this tutorial we use removing ads
                [[SKPaymentQueue defaultQueue] finishTransaction:transaction];
                NSLog(@"Transaction state -> Purchased");
                break;
            case SKPaymentTransactionStateRestored:
                NSLog(@"Transaction state -> Restored");
                //add the same code as you did from SKPaymentTransactionStatePurchased here
                [[SKPaymentQueue defaultQueue] finishTransaction:transaction];
                break;
            case SKPaymentTransactionStateFailed:
                //called when the transaction does not finish
                if(transaction.error.code == SKErrorPaymentCancelled){
                    NSLog(@"Transaction state -> Cancelled");
                    //the user cancelled the payment ;(
                }
                [[SKPaymentQueue defaultQueue] finishTransaction:transaction];
                break;
        }
    }
}

Now you want to add your code for what will happen when the user finishes the transaction, for this tutorial, we use removing adds, you will have to add your own code for what happens when the banner view loads.

- (void)doRemoveAds{
    ADBannerView *banner;
    [banner setAlpha:0];
    areAdsRemoved = YES;
    removeAdsButton.hidden = YES;
    removeAdsButton.enabled = NO;
    [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setBool:areAdsRemoved forKey:@"areAdsRemoved"];
    //use NSUserDefaults so that you can load whether or not they bought it
    //it would be better to use KeyChain access, or something more secure
    //to store the user data, because NSUserDefaults can be changed.
    //You're average downloader won't be able to change it very easily, but
    //it's still best to use something more secure than NSUserDefaults.
    //For the purpose of this tutorial, though, we're going to use NSUserDefaults
    [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] synchronize];
}

If you don't have ads in your application, you can use any other thing that you want. For example, we could make the color of the background blue. To do this we would want to use:

- (void)doRemoveAds{
    [self.view setBackgroundColor:[UIColor blueColor]];
    areAdsRemoved = YES
    //set the bool for whether or not they purchased it to YES, you could use your own boolean here, but you would have to declare it in your .h file

    [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setBool:areAdsRemoved forKey:@"areAdsRemoved"];
    //use NSUserDefaults so that you can load wether or not they bought it
    [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] synchronize];
}

Now, somewhere in your viewDidLoad method, you're going to want to add the following code:

areAdsRemoved = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] boolForKey:@"areAdsRemoved"];
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] synchronize];
//this will load wether or not they bought the in-app purchase

if(areAdsRemoved){
    [self.view setBackgroundColor:[UIColor blueColor]];
    //if they did buy it, set the background to blue, if your using the code above to set the background to blue, if your removing ads, your going to have to make your own code here
}

Now that you have added all the code, go into your .xib or storyboard file, and add two buttons, one saying purchase, and the other saying restore. Hook up the tapsRemoveAds IBAction to the purchase button that you just made, and the restore IBAction to the restore button. The restore action will check if the user has previously purchased the in-app purchase, and give them the in-app purchase for free if they do not already have it.

Submitting for review

Next, go into App Store Connect, and click Users and Access then click the Sandbox Testers header, and then click the + symbol on the left where it says Testers. You can just put in random things for the first and last name, and the e-mail does not have to be real - you just have to be able to remember it. Put in a password (which you will have to remember) and fill in the rest of the info. I would recommend that you make the Date of Birth a date that would make the user 18 or older. App Store Territory HAS to be in the correct country. Next, log out of your existing iTunes account (you can log back in after this tutorial).

Now, run your application on your iOS device, if you try running it on the simulator, the purchase will always error, you HAVE TO run it on your iOS device. Once the app is running, tap the purchase button. When you are prompted to log into your iTunes account, log in as the test user that we just created. Next,when it asks you to confirm the purchase of 99¢ or whatever you set the price tier too, TAKE A SCREEN SNAPSHOT OF IT this is what your going to use for your screenshot for review on App Store Connect. Now cancel the payment.

Now, go to App Store Connect, then go to My Apps > the app you have the In-app purchase on > In-App Purchases. Then click your in-app purchase and click edit under the in-app purchase details. Once you've done that, import the photo that you just took on your iPhone into your computer, and upload that as the screenshot for review, then, in review notes, put your TEST USER e-mail and password. This will help apple in the review process.

After you have done this, go back onto the application on your iOS device, still logged in as the test user account, and click the purchase button. This time, confirm the payment Don't worry, this will NOT charge your account ANY money, test user accounts get all in-app purchases for free After you have confirmed the payment, make sure that what happens when the user buys your product actually happens. If it doesn't, then thats going to be an error with your doRemoveAds method. Again, I recommend using changing the background to blue for testing the in-app purchase, this should not be your actual in-app purchase though. If everything works and you're good to go! Just make sure to include the in-app purchase in your new binary when you upload it to App Store Connect!

Here are some common errors:

Logged: No Products Available

This could mean four things:

• You didn't put the correct in-app purchase ID in your code (for the identifier kRemoveAdsProductIdentifier in the above code
• You didn't clear your in-app purchase for sale on App Store Connect
• You didn't wait for the in-app purchase ID to be registered in App Store Connect. Wait a couple hours from creating the ID, and your problem should be resolved.
• You didn't complete filling your Agreements, Tax, and Banking info.

If it doesn't work the first time, don't get frustrated! Don't give up! It took me about 5 hours straight before I could get this working, and about 10 hours searching for the right code! If you use the code above exactly, it should work fine. Feel free to comment if you have any questions at all.

I hope this helps to all of those hoping to add an in-app purchase to their iOS application. Cheers!

Here Swift updated:

let userID = "BOB"  

Declare userDefaults:

let defaults = UserDefaults.standard
defaults.setValue(userID, forKey: "userID")

And get it:

let userID = defaults.object(forKey: "userID")

A Simple Copy-Paste code snippet:

-(void)LoadLocalHtmlFile:(NSString *)fileName onWebVu:(UIWebView*)webVu
{
    [webVu loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle]pathForResource:fileName ofType:@"html"]isDirectory:NO]]];
}

Note:

Make sure the html file's Target membership is checked otherwise following exception will get thrown :-

Terminating app due to uncaught exception

'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '*** -[NSURL initFileURLWithPath:isDirectory:]: nil string parameter'

You can place these macros in your pch file and used at anywhere in project by using "SCREEN_WIDTH"

#define SCREEN_WIDTH                ((([UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait) || ([UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown)) ? [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.width : [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height)

and "SCREEN_HEIGHT"

#define SCREEN_HEIGHT               ((([UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait) || ([UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarOrientation ==   UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown)) ? [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height : [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.width)

Example of using:

CGSize calCulateSizze ;
calCulateSizze.width = SCREEN_WIDTH/2-8;
calCulateSizze.height = SCREEN_WIDTH/2-8;

You can do this

[self performSelector:@selector(MethodToExecute) withObject:nil afterDelay:1.0 ];

If anyone still looking for better option

-(UIImage *)scaleImage:(UIImage *)image toSize:(CGSize)targetSize {


    UIImage *sourceImage = image;
    UIImage *newImage = nil;

    CGSize imageSize = sourceImage.size;
    CGFloat width = imageSize.width;
    CGFloat height = imageSize.height;

    CGFloat targetWidth = targetSize.width;
    CGFloat targetHeight = targetSize.height;

    CGFloat scaleFactor = 0.0;
    CGFloat scaledWidth = targetWidth;
    CGFloat scaledHeight = targetHeight;

    CGPoint thumbnailPoint = CGPointMake(0.0,0.0);

    if (CGSizeEqualToSize(imageSize, targetSize) == NO) {

        CGFloat widthFactor = targetWidth / width;
        CGFloat heightFactor = targetHeight / height;

        if (widthFactor < heightFactor)
            scaleFactor = widthFactor;
        else
            scaleFactor = heightFactor;

        scaledWidth  = width * scaleFactor;
        scaledHeight = height * scaleFactor;

        // center the image


        if (widthFactor < heightFactor) {
            thumbnailPoint.y = (targetHeight - scaledHeight) * 0.5;
        } else if (widthFactor > heightFactor) {
            thumbnailPoint.x = (targetWidth - scaledWidth) * 0.5;
        }
    }


    // this is actually the interesting part:

    UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(targetSize);

    CGRect thumbnailRect = CGRectZero;
    thumbnailRect.origin = thumbnailPoint;
    thumbnailRect.size.width  = scaledWidth;
    thumbnailRect.size.height = scaledHeight;

    [sourceImage drawInRect:thumbnailRect];

    newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

    if(newImage == nil) NSLog(@"could not scale image");


    return newImage ;

}

Works for me in swift 4 (square image 40x40)

let imageView = UIImageView()
imageView.frame.size.width = 40
imageView.frame.size.height = 40
imageView.contentMode = .scaleAspectFit
let image = UIImage(named: "YOUR_IMAGE_NAME")
imageView.image = image
navigationItem.titleView = imageView

If you want other measures, try

let imageView = UIImageView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 50, height: 100.5)))
imageView.contentMode = .scaleAspectFit
let image = UIImage(named: "YOUR_IMAGE_NAME")
imageView.image = image
navigationItem.titleView = imageView

I hope it serves you. It works for me.

Check on custom font name whether checkbox on "Target membership" is added. This should help.

I wouldn't suggest overriding the drawRect due to causing a performance hit.

Instead, I would modify the properties of the class like below (in your custom uiview):

  - (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame {
    self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
    if (self) {
      self.layer.borderWidth = 2.f;
      self.layer.borderColor = [UIColor redColor].CGColor;
    }
  return self;

I didn't see any glitches when taking above approach - not sure why putting in the initWithFrame stops these ;-)

    UIView *bg = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:cell.frame];
    bg.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:175.0/255.0 green:220.0/255.0 blue:186.0/255.0 alpha:1]; 
    cell.backgroundView = bg;
    [bg release];

I would NOT use mach_absolute_time() because it queries a combination of the kernel and the processor for an absolute time using ticks (probably an uptime).

What I would use:

CFAbsoluteTimeGetCurrent();

This function is optimized to correct the difference in the iOS and OSX software and hardware.

Something Geekier

The quotient of a difference in mach_absolute_time() and AFAbsoluteTimeGetCurrent() is always around 24000011.154871

Here is a log of my app:

Please note that final result time is a difference in CFAbsoluteTimeGetCurrent()'s

Swift 3,4 and 5

Better practice, write code in UITableViewCell

For example, you have UITableViewCell with the name MyCell, In awakeFromNib just write self.selectionStyle = .none

Full example:

class MyCell: UITableViewCell {
    
    override func awakeFromNib() {
        super.awakeFromNib()
        self.selectionStyle = .none
    }
    
}

For Swift 4;

let uuid = NSUUID().uuidString.lowercased()

This is a function that takes a hex string and returns a UIColor.
(You can enter hex strings with either format: #ffffff or ffffff)

Usage:

var color1 = hexStringToUIColor("#d3d3d3")

Swift 4:

func hexStringToUIColor (hex:String) -> UIColor {
    var cString:String = hex.trimmingCharacters(in: .whitespacesAndNewlines).uppercased()

    if (cString.hasPrefix("#")) {
        cString.remove(at: cString.startIndex)
    }

    if ((cString.count) != 6) {
        return UIColor.gray
    }

    var rgbValue:UInt32 = 0
    Scanner(string: cString).scanHexInt32(&rgbValue)

    return UIColor(
        red: CGFloat((rgbValue & 0xFF0000) >> 16) / 255.0,
        green: CGFloat((rgbValue & 0x00FF00) >> 8) / 255.0,
        blue: CGFloat(rgbValue & 0x0000FF) / 255.0,
        alpha: CGFloat(1.0)
    )
}

Swift 3:

func hexStringToUIColor (hex:String) -> UIColor {
    var cString:String = hex.trimmingCharacters(in: .whitespacesAndNewlines).uppercased()

    if (cString.hasPrefix("#")) {
        cString.remove(at: cString.startIndex)
    }

    if ((cString.characters.count) != 6) {
        return UIColor.gray
    }

    var rgbValue:UInt32 = 0
    Scanner(string: cString).scanHexInt32(&rgbValue)

    return UIColor(
        red: CGFloat((rgbValue & 0xFF0000) >> 16) / 255.0,
        green: CGFloat((rgbValue & 0x00FF00) >> 8) / 255.0,
        blue: CGFloat(rgbValue & 0x0000FF) / 255.0,
        alpha: CGFloat(1.0)
    )
}

Swift 2:

func hexStringToUIColor (hex:String) -> UIColor {
    var cString:String = hex.stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet(NSCharacterSet.whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet() as NSCharacterSet).uppercaseString

    if (cString.hasPrefix("#")) {
      cString = cString.substringFromIndex(cString.startIndex.advancedBy(1))
    }

    if ((cString.characters.count) != 6) {
      return UIColor.grayColor()
    }

    var rgbValue:UInt32 = 0
    NSScanner(string: cString).scanHexInt(&rgbValue)

    return UIColor(
        red: CGFloat((rgbValue & 0xFF0000) >> 16) / 255.0,
        green: CGFloat((rgbValue & 0x00FF00) >> 8) / 255.0,
        blue: CGFloat(rgbValue & 0x0000FF) / 255.0,
        alpha: CGFloat(1.0)
    )
}

When you want the alert to show, do this:

    UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"ROFL" 
                                                    message:@"Dee dee doo doo." 
                                                    delegate:self 
                                                    cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" 
                                                    otherButtonTitles:nil];
[alert show];

    // If you're not using ARC, you will need to release the alert view.
    // [alert release];

If you want to do something when the button is clicked, implement this delegate method:

- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView didDismissWithButtonIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex {
    // the user clicked OK
    if (buttonIndex == 0) {
        // do something here...
    }
}

And make sure your delegate conforms to UIAlertViewDelegate protocol:

@interface YourViewController : UIViewController <UIAlertViewDelegate> 

I want to start by saying by saying that I realize this question is old and already has an accepted answer; but, as an unfortunate internet user that used this question as a means to end only to be proven wrong shortly after (but not before I upset my client a little) I want to add my thoughts and suggestions.

While @DSG and @Giona are correct, and there is nothing wrong with their answers, there is a creative mechanism you can employ to "get around," so to speak, this limitation. That is not say that I'm condoning circumvention of this feature, quite the contrary, but just some mechanisms so that a user still "feels" as if a video or audio file is "auto playing."

The quick work around is hide a video tag somewhere on the mobile page, since I built a responsive site I only do this for smaller screens. The video tag (HTML and jQuery examples):

HTML

<video id="dummyVideo" src="" preload="none" width="1" height="2"></video>

jQuery

var $dummyVideo = $("<video />", {
  id: "dummyVideo",
  src: "",
  preload: "none",
  width: "1",
  height: "2"
});

With that hidden on the page, when a user "clicks" to watch a movie (still user interaction, there is no way to get around that requirement) instead of navigating to a secondary watch page I load the hidden video. This mainly works because the media tag isn't really used but instead promoted to a Quicktime instance so having a visible video element isn't necessary at all. In the handler for "click" (or "touchend" on mobile).

$(".movie-container").on("click", function() {
  var url = $(this).data("stream-url");
  $dummyVideo.attr("src", url);
  $dummyVideo.get(0).load(); // required if src changed after page load
  $dummyVideo.get(0).play();
});

And viola. As far as UX goes, a user clicks on a video to play and Quicktime opens playing the video they chose. This remains within the limitation that videos can only be played via user action so I'm not forcing data on anyone who isn't deciding to watch a video with this service. I discovered this when trying to figure out how exactly Youtube pulled this off with their mobile which is essentially some really nice Javascript page building and fancy element hiding like in the case of the video tag.

tl;dr Here is a somewhat "workaround" to try and create an "autoplay" UX feature on iOS devices without going above and beyond Apple's limitations and still having users decide if they want to watch a video (or audio most likey, though I've not tested) themselves without having one just loaded without their permission.

Also, to the person who commented that is from sleep.fm, this still unfortunately would not have been a solution to your issues which is time based audio play back.

I hope someone finds this information useful, it would have saved me a week of bad news delivery to a client that was adamant that they have this feature and I was glad to find a way to deliver it in the end.

EDIT

Further finding indicate the above workaround is for iPhone/iPod devices only. The iPad plays video in Safari before it's been full screened so you'll need some mechanism to resize the video on click before playing or else you'll end up with audio and no video.

Take a look at UIScreen.

eg.

CGFloat width = [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.width;

Take a look at the applicationFrame property if you don't want the status bar included (won't affect the width).

UPDATE: It turns out UIScreen (-bounds or -applicationFrame) doesn't take into account the current interface orientation. A more correct approach would be to ask your UIView for its bounds -- assuming this UIView has been auto-rotated by it's View controller.

- (void)didRotateFromInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)fromInterfaceOrientation
{
    CGFloat width = CGRectGetWidth(self.view.bounds);
}

If the view is not being auto-rotated by the View Controller then you will need to check the interface orientation to determine which part of the view bounds represents the 'width' and the 'height'. Note that the frame property will give you the rect of the view in the UIWindow's coordinate space which (by default) won't be taking the interface orientation into account.

NSMutableArray *arrSearchData;  
NSArray *data=[arrNearByData objectAtIndex:i];
NSString *strValue=[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", [data valueForKey:@"restName"]];
NSRange r = [strValue rangeOfString:key options:NSCaseInsensitiveSearch];

if(r.location != NSNotFound)
{
     [arrSearchData addObject:data];
}

-(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    cellIdentifier = @"myCell";
    cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
    cell.myUILabel.lineBreakMode = UILineBreakModeWordWrap;        
    cell.myUILabel.numberOfLines = 0;
    cell.myUILabel.text = @"Some very very very very long text....."
    [cell.myUILabel.criterionDescriptionLabel sizeToFit];    
}

- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    UITableViewCell *cell = [self tableView:tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
    CGFloat rowHeight = cell.myUILabel.frame.size.height + 10;

    return rowHeight;    
}

I would imagine the safest way would just be to parse for <>s, no? Loop through the entire string, and copy anything not enclosed in <>s to a new string.

In objective-c :

NSArray *myArray = [myMutableArray copy];

In swift :

 var arr = myMutableArray as NSArray

The width of the iphone is 320 . So put left and right value in Cell attribute for separatorInset more than half of 320 .

While the documentation recommends using weak on properties for subviews, since iOS 6 it seems to be fine to use strong (the default ownership qualifier) instead. That's caused by the change in UIViewController that views are not unloaded anymore.

• Before iOS 6, if you kept strong links to subviews of the controller's view around, if the view controller's main view got unloaded, those would hold onto the subviews as long as the view controller is around.
• Since iOS 6, views are not unloaded anymore, but loaded once and then stick around as long as their controller is there. So strong properties won't matter. They also won't create strong reference cycles, since they point down the strong reference graph.

That said, I am torn between using

@property (nonatomic, weak) IBOutlet UIButton *button;

and

@property (nonatomic) IBOutlet UIButton *button;

in iOS 6 and after:

• Using weak clearly states that the controller doesn't want ownership of the button.

• But omitting weak doesn't hurt in iOS 6 without view unloading, and is shorter. Some may point out that is also faster, but I have yet to encounter an app that is too slow because of weak IBOutlets.

• Not using weak may be perceived as an error.

Bottom line: Since iOS 6 we can't get this wrong anymore as long as we don't use view unloading. Time to party. ;)

In Swift 4.2 and Xcode 10.1

You can change your navigation bar colour from your AppDelegate directly to your entire project.

In didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: write below to lines of code

UINavigationBar.appearance().tintColor = UIColor.white
UINavigationBar.appearance().barTintColor = UIColor(red: 2/255, green: 96/255, blue: 130/255, alpha: 1.0)

Here

tintColor is for to set background images like back button & menu lines images etc. (See below left and right menu image)

barTintColor is for navigation bar background colour

If you want to set specific view controller navigation bar colour, write below code in viewDidLoad()

//Add navigation bar colour
navigationController?.navigationBar.barTintColor = UIColor(red: 2/255, green: 96/255, blue: 130/255, alpha: 1.0)
navigationController?.navigationBar.tintColor = UIColor.white

If your app is meant to run on the device, make sure you are not trying to run in it on the simulator. May sound obvious, but check anyway.

Here is a Extension implemented in Swift based on Jakob Egger's most excellent answer:

import UIKit

extension UIResponder {
    // Swift 1.2 finally supports static vars!. If you use 1.1 see: 
    // http://stackoverflow.com/a/24924535/385979
    private weak static var _currentFirstResponder: UIResponder? = nil
    
    public class func currentFirstResponder() -> UIResponder? {
        UIResponder._currentFirstResponder = nil
        UIApplication.sharedApplication().sendAction("findFirstResponder:", to: nil, from: nil, forEvent: nil)
        return UIResponder._currentFirstResponder
    }
    
    internal func findFirstResponder(sender: AnyObject) {
        UIResponder._currentFirstResponder = self
    }
}

Swift 4

import UIKit    

extension UIResponder {
    private weak static var _currentFirstResponder: UIResponder? = nil
    
    public static var current: UIResponder? {
        UIResponder._currentFirstResponder = nil
        UIApplication.shared.sendAction(#selector(findFirstResponder(sender:)), to: nil, from: nil, for: nil)
        return UIResponder._currentFirstResponder
    }
    
    @objc internal func findFirstResponder(sender: AnyObject) {
        UIResponder._currentFirstResponder = self
    }
}

Another way to do it is to make an empty section right before the one you want the header on and put your header on that section. Because the section is empty the header will scroll immediately.

This task can be easily done using PrettyKit by adding about 5 lines of code. If you use nib files or storyboard, also do not forget to apply this little hack . When you use this approach, you should subclass your cell from PrettyTableViewCell:

#import <PrettyKit/PrettyKit.h>

@class RRSearchHistoryItem;

@interface RRSearchHistoryCell : PrettyTableViewCell

This is example of my cellForRowAtIndexPath:

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
  static NSString *cellIdentifier = @"RRSearchHistoryCell";

  RRSearchHistoryCell *cell = (RRSearchHistoryCell *)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellIdentifier];

  if ( cell == nil ) {

    NSArray *topLevelObjects = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"RRSearchHistoryCell" owner:self options:nil];
    cell = topLevelObjects[0];
    cell.gradientStartColor = RGB(0xffffff);
    cell.gradientEndColor = RGB(0xf3f3f3);

  }

  RRSearchHistoryItem *item = _historyTableData[indexPath.row];
  [cell setHistoryItem:item];


  [cell prepareForTableView:tableView indexPath:indexPath];

  return cell;
}

Brian, also worth throwing in here - the others are of course correct that you don't need to declare a string variable. However, next time you want to declare a string you don't need to do the following:

NSString *myString = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"SomeText"];

Although the above does work, it provides a retained NSString variable which you will then need to explicitly release after you've finished using it.

Next time you want a string variable you can use the "@" symbol in a much more convenient way:

NSString *myString = @"SomeText";

This will be autoreleased when you've finished with it so you'll avoid memory leaks too...

Hope that helps!

If you want a rounded corner only to one corner or two corners, etc... read this post:

[ObjC] – UIButton with rounded corner - http://goo.gl/kfzvKP

It's a XIB/Storyboard subclass. Import and set borders without write code.

Apart from reachability you may also use the Simple Ping helper library. It works really nice and is simple to integrate.

Swift 5 for cocoa

        // Getting the Contents of a Directory in a Single Batch Operation

        let bundleRoot = Bundle.main.bundlePath
        let url = URL(string: bundleRoot)
        let properties: [URLResourceKey] = [ URLResourceKey.localizedNameKey, URLResourceKey.creationDateKey, URLResourceKey.localizedTypeDescriptionKey]
        if let src = url{
            do {
                let paths = try FileManager.default.contentsOfDirectory(at: src, includingPropertiesForKeys: properties, options: [])

                for p in paths {
                     if p.hasSuffix(".data"){
                           print("File Path is: \(p)")
                     }
                }

            } catch  {  }
        }

I wasn't able to follow any of the above advice.

I watched multiple tutorials and found this one the most beneficial:

I added the following code to set the new height inside the "viewDidLoad" method, which worked in my app.

UIPickerView *picker = [[UIPickerView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, 320.0, 120.0)]; 
[self.view addSubview:picker];
picker.delegate = self;
picker.dataSource = self;

Hope this was helpful!

Here ya go:

viewNoteDateMonth.text  = [[displayDate objectAtIndex:2] uppercaseString];

Btw:
"april" is lowercase ? [NSString lowercaseString]
"APRIL" is UPPERCASE ? [NSString uppercaseString]
"April May" is Capitalized/Word Caps ? [NSString capitalizedString]
"April may" is Sentence caps ? (method missing; see workaround below)

Hence what you want is called "uppercase", not "capitalized". ;)

As for "Sentence Caps" one has to keep in mind that usually "Sentence" means "entire string". If you wish for real sentences use the second method, below, otherwise the first:

@interface NSString ()

- (NSString *)sentenceCapitalizedString; // sentence == entire string
- (NSString *)realSentenceCapitalizedString; // sentence == real sentences

@end

@implementation NSString

- (NSString *)sentenceCapitalizedString {
    if (![self length]) {
        return [NSString string];
    }
    NSString *uppercase = [[self substringToIndex:1] uppercaseString];
    NSString *lowercase = [[self substringFromIndex:1] lowercaseString];
    return [uppercase stringByAppendingString:lowercase];
}

- (NSString *)realSentenceCapitalizedString {
    __block NSMutableString *mutableSelf = [NSMutableString stringWithString:self];
    [self enumerateSubstringsInRange:NSMakeRange(0, [self length])
                             options:NSStringEnumerationBySentences
                          usingBlock:^(NSString *sentence, NSRange sentenceRange, NSRange enclosingRange, BOOL *stop) {
        [mutableSelf replaceCharactersInRange:sentenceRange withString:[sentence sentenceCapitalizedString]];
    }];
    return [NSString stringWithString:mutableSelf]; // or just return mutableSelf.
}

@end

 - (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath 
{
        MyCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"cell" forIndexPath:indexPath];

        cell.poster.image = nil; // or cell.poster.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"placeholder.png"];

        NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://myurl.com/%@.jpg", self.myJson[indexPath.row][@"movieId"]]];

        NSURLSessionTask *task = [[NSURLSession sharedSession] dataTaskWithURL:url completionHandler:^(NSData * _Nullable data, NSURLResponse * _Nullable response, NSError * _Nullable error) {
            if (data) {
                UIImage *image = [UIImage imageWithData:data];
                if (image) {
                    dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
                        MyCell *updateCell = (id)[tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
                        if (updateCell)
                            updateCell.poster.image = image;
                    });
                }
            }
        }];
        [task resume];

        return cell;
    }

In Swift:

let defaults = NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults()
defaults.dictionaryRepresentation().keys.forEach { defaults.removeObjectForKey($0) }

In Swift 5.0 and Xcode 10.2

//UIButton extension
extension UIButton {
     //UIButton properties
     func btnMultipleLines() {
         titleLabel?.numberOfLines = 0
         titleLabel?.lineBreakMode = .byWordWrapping
         titleLabel?.textAlignment = .center        
     }
}

In your ViewController call like this

button.btnMultipleLines()//This is your button

import UIKit

class DynamicSizeScrollView: UIScrollView {

    var maxHeight: CGFloat = UIScreen.main.bounds.size.height
    var maxWidth: CGFloat = UIScreen.main.bounds.size.width

    override func layoutSubviews() {
        super.layoutSubviews()
        if !__CGSizeEqualToSize(bounds.size,self.intrinsicContentSize){
            self.invalidateIntrinsicContentSize()
        }
    }

    override var intrinsicContentSize: CGSize {
        let height = min(contentSize.height, maxHeight)
        let width = min(contentSize.height, maxWidth)
        return CGSize(width: width, height: height)
    }

}

I know its very late to answer this but hope this may help anyone.

you can create button like radio button using IBOutletCollection. create one IBOutletCollection property in our .h file.

@property (nonatomic, strong) IBOutletCollection(UIButton) NSArray *ButtonArray;

connect all button with this IBOutletCollection and make one IBAction method for all three button.

- (IBAction)btnTapped:(id)sender {
       for ( int i=0; i < [self.ButtonArray count]; i++) {
           [[self.ButtonArray objectAtIndex:i] setImage:[UIImage                         
            imageNamed:@"radio-off.png"]                 
            forState:UIControlStateNormal];
       }
     [sender setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"radio-on.png"]
      forState:UIControlStateNormal];
}

From your description I suspect the most likely explanation is that you have some error in your memory management. You said you've been working on iPhone development for a few weeks, but not whether you are experienced with Objective C in general. If you've come from another background it can take a little while before you really internalise the memory management rules - unless you make a big point of it.

Remember, anything you get from an allocation function (usually the static alloc method, but there are a few others), or a copy method, you own the memory too and must release it when you are done.

But if you get something back from just about anything else including factory methods (e.g. [NSString stringWithFormat]) then you'll have an autorelease reference, which means it could be released at some time in the future by other code - so it is vital that if you need to keep it around beyond the immediate function that you retain it. If you don't, the memory may remain allocated while you are using it, or be released but coincidentally still valid, during your emulator testing, but is more likely to be released and show up as bad access errors when running on the device.

The best way to track these things down, and a good idea anyway (even if there are no apparent problems) is to run the app in the Instruments tool, especially with the Leaks option.

I normally try avoid subclassing but this works if you have already:

// add a property 
@property (nonatomic) UIEdgeInsets edgeInsets;

// and override:

- (CGRect)textRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds
{
    return [super textRectForBounds:UIEdgeInsetsInsetRect(bounds, self.edgeInsets)];
}

- (CGRect)editingRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds
{
    return [super editingRectForBounds:UIEdgeInsetsInsetRect(bounds, self.edgeInsets)];
}

Use this category to select a table row and execute a given segue after a delay.
Call this within your viewDidAppear method:

[tableViewController delayedSelection:withSegueIdentifier:]


@implementation UITableViewController (TLUtils)

-(void)delayedSelection:(NSIndexPath *)idxPath withSegueIdentifier:(NSString *)segueID {
    if (!idxPath) idxPath = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:0 inSection:0];                                                                                                                                                                 
    [self performSelector:@selector(selectIndexPath:) withObject:@{@"NSIndexPath": idxPath, @"UIStoryboardSegue": segueID } afterDelay:0];

@end

Take a look at this article; under the heading "Methods provided at runtime":

Some accessors are created dynamically at runtime, such as certain ones used in CoreData's NSManagedObject class. If you want to declare and use properties for these cases, but want to avoid warnings about methods missing at compile time, you can use the @dynamic directive instead of @synthesize.

...

Using the @dynamic directive essentially tells the compiler "don't worry about it, a method is on the way."

The @synthesize directive, on the other hand, generates the accessor methods for you at compile time (although as noted in the "Mixing Synthesized and Custom Accessors" section it is flexible and does not generate methods for you if either are implemented).

I have tried it hope it works for you

NSCalendar *gregorian = [[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSGregorianCalendar];      
int unitFlags =NSDayCalendarUnit;      
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[[NSDateFormatter alloc] init] autorelease];     
NSDate *myDate; //= [[NSDate alloc] init];     
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"dd-MM-yyyy"];   
myDate = [dateFormatter dateFromString:self.strPrevioisDate];     
NSDateComponents *comps = [gregorian components:unitFlags fromDate:myDate toDate:[NSDate date] options:0];   
NSInteger day=[comps day];

You can create NSAttributedString

NSDictionary *attributes = @{ NSForegroundColorAttributeName : [UIColor redColor] };
NSAttributedString *attrStr = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@"My Color String" attributes:attrs];

OR NSMutableAttributedString to apply custom attributes with Ranges.

NSMutableAttributedString *attributedString = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@%@", methodPrefix, method] attributes: @{ NSFontAttributeName : FONT_MYRIADPRO(48) }];
[attributedString addAttribute:NSFontAttributeName value:FONT_MYRIADPRO_SEMIBOLD(48) range:NSMakeRange(methodPrefix.length, method.length)];

Available Attributes: NSAttributedStringKey

UPDATE:

Swift 5.1

let message: String = greeting + someMessage
let paragraphStyle = NSMutableParagraphStyle()
paragraphStyle.lineSpacing = 2.0
    
// Note: UIFont(appFontFamily:ofSize:) is extended init.
let regularAttributes: [NSAttributedString.Key : Any] = [.font : UIFont(appFontFamily: .regular, ofSize: 15)!, .paragraphStyle : paragraphStyle]
let boldAttributes = [NSAttributedString.Key.font : UIFont(appFontFamily: .semiBold, ofSize: 15)!]

let mutableString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: message, attributes: regularAttributes)
mutableString.addAttributes(boldAttributes, range: NSMakeRange(0, greeting.count))

A rather obscure, yet potentially important case when layoutSubviews never gets called is:

import UIKit

class View: UIView {

    override class var layerClass: AnyClass { return Layer.self }

    class Layer: CALayer {
        override func layoutSublayers() {
            // if we don't call super.layoutSublayers()...
            print(type(of: self), #function)
        }
    }

    override func layoutSubviews() {
        // ... this method never gets called by the OS!
        print(type(of: self), #function)
    }
}

let view = View(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 100, height: 100))

I think you can write bellow code after alloc init Label

UILabel* lbl = [[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 10, 280, 50)];
lbl.text = @"vbdsbfdshfisdhfidshufidhsufhdsf dhdsfhdksbf hfsdh fksdfidsf sdfhsd fhdsf sdhfh sdifsdkf ksdhfkds fhdsf dsfkdsfkjdhsfkjdhskfjhsdk fdhsf ";
[lbl setMinimumFontSize:8.0];
[lbl setNumberOfLines:0];
[lbl setFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:10.0]];
lbl.lineBreakMode = UILineBreakModeWordWrap;
lbl.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
[lbl sizeToFit];
[self.view addSubview:lbl];

It is working with me fine Use it

I used this method to change choosing Text Field

- (BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField {

if ([textField isEqual:self.emailRegisterTextField]) {

    [self.usernameRegisterTextField becomeFirstResponder];

} else if ([textField isEqual:self.usernameRegisterTextField]) {

    [self.passwordRegisterTextField becomeFirstResponder];

} else {

    [textField resignFirstResponder];

    // To click button for registration when you clicking button "Done" on the keyboard
    [self createMyAccount:self.registrationButton];
}

return YES;

}

xCode 7.3.1 iOS 9.3.2

 _siteLabel.layer.masksToBounds = true;
  _siteLabel.layer.cornerRadius = 8;

Compare method

Either you implement a compare-method for your object:

- (NSComparisonResult)compare:(Person *)otherObject {
    return [self.birthDate compare:otherObject.birthDate];
}

NSArray *sortedArray = [drinkDetails sortedArrayUsingSelector:@selector(compare:)];

NSSortDescriptor (better)

or usually even better:

NSSortDescriptor *sortDescriptor;
sortDescriptor = [[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:@"birthDate"
                                           ascending:YES];
NSArray *sortedArray = [drinkDetails sortedArrayUsingDescriptors:@[sortDescriptor]];

You can easily sort by multiple keys by adding more than one to the array. Using custom comparator-methods is possible as well. Have a look at the documentation.

Blocks (shiny!)

There's also the possibility of sorting with a block since Mac OS X 10.6 and iOS 4:

NSArray *sortedArray;
sortedArray = [drinkDetails sortedArrayUsingComparator:^NSComparisonResult(id a, id b) {
    NSDate *first = [(Person*)a birthDate];
    NSDate *second = [(Person*)b birthDate];
    return [first compare:second];
}];

Performance

The -compare: and block-based methods will be quite a bit faster, in general, than using NSSortDescriptor as the latter relies on KVC. The primary advantage of the NSSortDescriptor method is that it provides a way to define your sort order using data, rather than code, which makes it easy to e.g. set things up so users can sort an NSTableView by clicking on the header row.

Here's a simple function that lets you do what you are looking for:

- (NSString *)getSubstring:(NSString *)value betweenString:(NSString *)separator
{
    NSRange firstInstance = [value rangeOfString:separator];
    NSRange secondInstance = [[value substringFromIndex:firstInstance.location + firstInstance.length] rangeOfString:separator];
    NSRange finalRange = NSMakeRange(firstInstance.location + separator.length, secondInstance.location);

    return [value substringWithRange:finalRange];
}

Usage:

NSString *myName = [self getSubstring:@"This is my :name:, woo!!" betweenString:@":"];

Swift 4 version of blyabtroi solution

let leadingMargin: CGFloat = 10
let trailingMargin: CGFloat = 10

let style = NSMutableParagraphStyle()
style.alignment = .justified
style.firstLineHeadIndent = leadingMargin
style.headIndent = leadingMargin
style.tailIndent = trailingMargin

label.attributedText = NSAttributedString(string: "Label with margins", 
                                          attributes: [NSAttributedStringKey.paragraphStyle: style])

Here is a solution that looks good under iOS6/7/8/9.

Update 2016-06-10: this still works with iOS 9.3.3

Thanks for all your support, this is now on CocoaPods/Carthage/SPM at https://github.com/fulldecent/FDTextFieldTableViewCell

Basically we take the stock UITableViewCellStyleValue1 and staple a UITextField where the detailTextLabel is supposed to be. This gives us automatic placement for all scenarios: iOS6/7/8/9, iPhone/iPad, Image/No-image, Accessory/No-accessory, Portrait/Landscape, 1x/2x/3x.

Note: this is using storyboard with a UITableViewCellStyleValue1 type cell named "word".

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"word"];
    cell.detailTextLabel.hidden = YES;
    [[cell viewWithTag:3] removeFromSuperview];
    textField = [[UITextField alloc] init];
    textField.tag = 3;
    textField.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = NO;
    [cell.contentView addSubview:textField];
    [cell addConstraint:[NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:textField attribute:NSLayoutAttributeLeading relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual toItem:cell.textLabel attribute:NSLayoutAttributeTrailing multiplier:1 constant:8]];
    [cell addConstraint:[NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:textField attribute:NSLayoutAttributeTop relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual toItem:cell.contentView attribute:NSLayoutAttributeTop multiplier:1 constant:8]];
    [cell addConstraint:[NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:textField attribute:NSLayoutAttributeBottom relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual toItem:cell.contentView attribute:NSLayoutAttributeBottom multiplier:1 constant:-8]];
    [cell addConstraint:[NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:textField attribute:NSLayoutAttributeTrailing relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual toItem:cell.detailTextLabel attribute:NSLayoutAttributeTrailing multiplier:1 constant:0]];
    textField.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentRight;
    textField.delegate = self;
    return cell;
}

Not currently, currently the only languages available to access the iPhone SDK are C/C++, Objective C and Swift.

There is no technical reason why this could not change in the future but I wouldn't hold your breath for this happening in the short term.

That said, Objective-C and Swift really are not too scary...

2016 edit

Javascript with NativeScript framework is available to use now.

This will probably give you what you want:

NSLocale *locale = [NSLocale currentLocale];

NSString *language = [locale displayNameForKey:NSLocaleIdentifier 
                                         value:[locale localeIdentifier]];

It will show the name of the language, in the language itself. For example:

Français (France)
English (United States)

For fellow Xamarians, the Xamarin.iOS/C# version of the answer would look like the following:

public override void DrawRect(CGRect area, UIViewPrintFormatter formatter)
{
    CGContext currentContext = UIGraphics.GetCurrentContext();
    currentContext.SaveState();
    currentContext.SetShadow(new CGSize(-15, 20), 5);
    base.DrawRect(area, formatter);
    currentContext.RestoreState();                
}

The main difference is that you acquire an instance of CGContext on which you directly call the appropriate methods.

that's all you need

childView.frame = parentView.bounds

For iOS 7.* and iOS 6.1

The easiest method is to set the tableFooterView property:

- (void)viewDidLoad 
{
    [super viewDidLoad];

    // This will remove extra separators from tableview
    self.tableView.tableFooterView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];
}

For previous versions

You could add this to your TableViewController (this will work for any number of sections):

- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForFooterInSection:(NSInteger)section {
     // This will create a "invisible" footer
     return 0.01f;
 }

and if it is not enough, add the following code too:

- (UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForFooterInSection:(NSInteger)section
{        
    return [UIView new];

    // If you are not using ARC:
    // return [[UIView new] autorelease];
}

Here is the Swift-4.2 code for automatic fix your image orientation Returns UIImage

func AutofixImageOrientation(_ image: UIImage)->UIImage {

    UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(image.size)

    image.draw(at: .zero)

    let newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()

    UIGraphicsEndImageContext()

    return newImage ?? image
}

This can also cause some trouble: Accidentally one of my layouts was parked in my tablet resources folder, so I got this error only with phone layout. The phone layout simply had no suitable layout file.

I worked again after moving the layout file in the correct standard folder and a following project rebuild.

In the repository directory you remove the directory named .git and that's all :). On Un*x it is hidden, so you might not see it from file browser, but

cd repository-path/
rm -r .git

should do the trick.

In Data Source (on the left of Visual Studio) right click on the database, then Configure Data Source With Wizard. A new window will appear, expand the Connection string, you can find the connection string in there

I don't know if there's a way to get a clean build via the UI, but it's easy to do from the commandline using gradle wrapper. From the root directory of your project:

./gradlew clean 

You can't pass objects using router params, only strings because it needs to be reflected in the URL. It would be probably a better approach to use a shared service to pass data around between routed components anyway.

The old router allows to pass data but the new (RC.1) router doesn't yet.

Update

data was re-introduced in RC.4 How do I pass data in Angular 2 components while using Routing?

Here's yet another solution, just for kicks. It's probably not very efficient, but it does cope with both height and width of the text, and with marked-up text.

@Override
protected void onMeasure(final int widthMeasureSpec, final int heightMeasureSpec)
{
    if ((MeasureSpec.getMode(widthMeasureSpec) != MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED)
            && (MeasureSpec.getMode(heightMeasureSpec) != MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED)) {

        final float desiredWidth = MeasureSpec.getSize(widthMeasureSpec);
        final float desiredHeight = MeasureSpec.getSize(heightMeasureSpec);

        float textSize = getTextSize();
        float lastScale = Float.NEGATIVE_INFINITY;
        while (textSize > MINIMUM_AUTO_TEXT_SIZE_PX) {
            // Measure how big the textview would like to be with the current text size.
            super.onMeasure(MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED, MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED);

            // Calculate how much we'd need to scale it to fit the desired size, and
            // apply that scaling to the text size as an estimate of what we need.
            final float widthScale = desiredWidth / getMeasuredWidth();
            final float heightScale = desiredHeight / getMeasuredHeight();
            final float scale = Math.min(widthScale, heightScale);

            // If we don't need to shrink the text, or we don't seem to be converging, we're done.
            if ((scale >= 1f) || (scale <= lastScale)) {
                break;
            }

            // Shrink the text size and keep trying.
            textSize = Math.max((float) Math.floor(scale * textSize), MINIMUM_AUTO_TEXT_SIZE_PX);
            setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_PX, textSize);
            lastScale = scale;
        }
    }
    super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
}

If you have something else altering the DB (say another process) and need to ensure you see these changes, use AsNoTracking(), otherwise EF may give you the last copy that your context had instead, hence it being good to usually use a new context every query:

http://codethug.com/2016/02/19/Entity-Framework-Cache-Busting/

Either of these 2:

NSString *subString = [dateString subStringWithRange:NSMakeRange(0,2)];
NSString *subString = [[dateString componentsSeparatedByString:@"/"] objectAtIndex:0];

Though keep in mind that sometimes a date string is not formatted properly and a day ( or a month for that matter ) is shown as 8, rather than 08 so the first one might be the worst of the 2 solutions.

The latter should be put into a separate array so you can actually check for the length of the thing returned, so you do not get any exceptions thrown in the case of a corrupt or invalid date string from whatever source you have.

pip install --user <package name> (no sudo needed) worked for me for a very similar problem.

The problem you're having running from the command line is that you don't put ".class" after your class file.

java Practice 10 12

should work - as long as you're somewhere java can find the .class file.

Classpath issues are a whole 'nother story. If java still complains that it can't find your class, go to the same directory as your .class file (and it doesn't appear you're using packages...) and try -

java -cp . Practice 10 12

Its simple, just make sure the data type in your columns are the same. For e.g. I faced the same error, that and an another error:

Error in contrasts<-(*tmp*, value = contr.funs[1 + isOF[nn]]) : contrasts can be applied only to factors with 2 or more levels

So, I went back to my excel file or csv file, set a filter on the variable throwing me an error and checked if the distinct datatypes are the same. And... Oh! it had numbers and strings, so I converted numbers to string and it worked just fine for me.

If you looking for some command in CLI, Then ans is NO for now. But you can do manually by deleting the component folder and all the references.

Because timedelta is defined like:

class datetime.timedelta([days,] [seconds,] [microseconds,] [milliseconds,] [minutes,] [hours,] [weeks])

All arguments are optional and default to 0.

You can easily say "Three days and four milliseconds" with optional arguments that way.

>>> datetime.timedelta(days=3, milliseconds=4)
datetime.timedelta(3, 0, 4000)
>>> datetime.timedelta(3, 0, 0, 4) #no need for that.
datetime.timedelta(3, 0, 4000)

And for str casting, it returns a nice formatted value instead of __repr__ to improve readability. From docs:

str(t) Returns a string in the form [D day[s], ][H]H:MM:SS[.UUUUUU], where D is negative for negative t. (5)

>>> datetime.timedelta(seconds = 42).__repr__()
'datetime.timedelta(0, 42)'
>>> datetime.timedelta(seconds = 42).__str__()
'0:00:42'

Checkout documentation:

http://docs.python.org/library/datetime.html#timedelta-objects

Using print function without parentheses works with older versions of Python but is no longer supported on Python3, so you have to put the arguments inside parentheses. However, there are workarounds, as mentioned in the answers to this question. Since the support for Python2 has ended in Jan 1st 2020, the answer has been modified to be compatible with Python3.

You could do any of these (and there may be other ways):

(1)  print("First number is {} and second number is {}".format(first, second))
(1b) print("First number is {first} and number is {second}".format(first=first, second=second)) 

or

(2) print('First number is', first, 'second number is', second) 

(Note: A space will be automatically added afterwards when separated from a comma)

or

(3) print('First number %d and second number is %d' % (first, second))

or

(4) print('First number is ' + str(first) + ' second number is' + str(second))
  

Using format() (1/1b) is preferred where available.

Before pressing exit commands(q, etc..) check current input language: if it isn't English commands may not work.

For RHEL on Amazon Linux, using python3 I had to do :

sudo yum install python34-devel

I'd like to add something for Steve Jessop's answer(I can't comment on it since I don't have enough reputation). But I found some helpful material. His answer is very help but he made a mistake: the bucket size should not be a power of 2. I'll just quote from the book "Introduction to Algorithm" by Thomas Cormen, Charles Leisersen, et al on page263:

When using the division method, we usually avoid certain values of m. For example, m should not be a power of 2, since if m = 2^p, then h(k) is just the p lowest-order bits of k. Unless we know that all low-order p-bit patterns are equally likely, we are better off designing the hash function to depend on all the bits of the key. As Exercise 11.3-3 asks you to show, choosing m = 2^p-1 when k is a character string interpreted in radix 2^p may be a poor choice, because permuting the characters of k does not change its hash value.

Hope it helps.

For anyone who wants to download an image WITHOUT saving it to a file:

Image DownloadImage(string fromUrl)
{
    using (System.Net.WebClient webClient = new System.Net.WebClient())
    {
        using (Stream stream = webClient.OpenRead(fromUrl))
        {
            return Image.FromStream(stream);
        }
    }
}

I realize this is a very old post, but after looking at L.B's response I thought about how I could improve upon the accepted answer and make it generic for my own application. Here's what I came up with:

public static string Serialize<T>(T dataToSerialize)
{
    try
    {
        var stringwriter = new System.IO.StringWriter();
        var serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T));
        serializer.Serialize(stringwriter, dataToSerialize);
        return stringwriter.ToString();
    }
    catch
    {
        throw;
    }
}

public static T Deserialize<T>(string xmlText)
{
    try
    {
        var stringReader = new System.IO.StringReader(xmlText);
        var serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T));
        return (T)serializer.Deserialize(stringReader);
    }
    catch
    {
        throw;
    }
}

These methods can now be placed in a static helper class, which means no code duplication to every class that needs to be serialized.

So you didn't say you wanted the application to quit or exit abruptly, so as another option, perhaps just have the response loop end out elegantly. (I am assuming you have a while loop waiting for user instructions. This is some code from a project I just wrote today.

        Console.WriteLine("College File Processor");
        Console.WriteLine("*************************************");
        Console.WriteLine("(H)elp");
        Console.WriteLine("Process (W)orkouts");
        Console.WriteLine("Process (I)nterviews");
        Console.WriteLine("Process (P)ro Days");
        Console.WriteLine("(S)tart Processing");
        Console.WriteLine("E(x)it");
        Console.WriteLine("*************************************");

        string response = "";
        string videotype = "";
        bool starting = false;
        bool exiting = false;

        response = Console.ReadLine();

        while ( response != "" )
        {
            switch ( response  )
            {
                case "H":
                case "h":
                    DisplayHelp();
                    break;

                case "W":
                case "w":
                    Console.WriteLine("Video Type set to Workout");
                    videotype = "W";
                    break;

                case "I":
                case "i":
                    Console.WriteLine("Video Type set to Interview");
                    videotype = "I";
                    break;

                case "P":
                case "p":
                    Console.WriteLine("Video Type set to Pro Day");
                    videotype = "P";
                    break;

                case "S":
                case "s":
                    if ( videotype == "" )
                    {
                        Console.WriteLine("Please Select Video Type Before Starting");
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        Console.WriteLine("Starting...");
                        starting = true;
                    }
                    break;

                case "E":
                case "e":
                    Console.WriteLine("Good Bye!");
                    System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(100);
                    exiting = true;
                    break;
            }

            if ( starting || exiting)
            {
                break;
            }
            else
            {
                response = Console.ReadLine();
            }
        }

        if ( starting )
        {
            ProcessFiles();
        }

Updating state every second in the react class. Note the my index.js passes a function that return current time.

import React from "react";

class App extends React.Component {
  constructor(props){
    super(props)

    this.state = {
      time: this.props.time,

    }        
  }
  updateMe() {
    setInterval(()=>{this.setState({time:this.state.time})},1000)        
  }
  render(){
  return (
    <div className="container">
      <h1>{this.state.time()}</h1>
      <button onClick={() => this.updateMe()}>Get Time</button>
    </div>
  );
}
}
export default App;

With the Return statement from the proc, I needed to assign the temp variable and pass it to another stored procedure. The value was getting assigned fine but when passing it as a parameter, it lost the value. I had to create a temp table and set the variable from the table (SQL 2008)

From this: 
declare @anID int
exec @anID = dbo.StoredProc_Fetch @ID, @anotherID, @finalID
exec dbo.ADifferentStoredProc @anID (no value here)

To this:
declare @t table(id int) 
declare @anID int
insert into @t exec dbo.StoredProc_Fetch @ID, @anotherID, @finalID
set @anID= (select Top 1 * from @t)

As others have said, std::max_element() and std::min_element() return iterators, which need to be dereferenced to obtain the value.

The advantage of returning an iterator (rather than just the value) is that it allows you to determine the position of the (first) element in the container with the maximum (or minimum) value.

For example (using C++11 for brevity):

#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    std::vector<double> v {1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0};

    auto biggest = std::max_element(std::begin(v), std::end(v));
    std::cout << "Max element is " << *biggest
        << " at position " << std::distance(std::begin(v), biggest) << std::endl;

    auto smallest = std::min_element(std::begin(v), std::end(v));
    std::cout << "min element is " << *smallest
        << " at position " << std::distance(std::begin(v), smallest) << std::endl;
}

This yields:

Max element is 5 at position 4
min element is 1 at position 0

Note:

Using std::minmax_element() as suggested in the comments above may be faster for large data sets, but may give slightly different results. The values for my example above would be the same, but the position of the "max" element would be 9 since...

If several elements are equivalent to the largest element, the iterator to the last such element is returned.

If you have m2e installed and the project already is a maven project but the maven dependencies are still missing, the easiest way that worked for me was

• right click the project,
• Maven,
• Update Project...

Your screenshot shows you doing a pip install from the python terminal which is wrong. Do that outside the python terminal. Also the package I believe you want is:

pip install opencv-python

Since you're running on Windows, I might look at the official install manual: https://breakthrough.github.io/Installing-OpenCV

opencv2 is ONLY compatible with Python3 if you do so by compiling the source code. See the section under opencv supported python versions: https://pypi.org/project/opencv-python

The sequential order of css code also matters, for example:

@media(max-width:600px){
  .example-text{
     color:red;
   }
}
.example-text{
   color:blue;
}

the above code will not working because the executed order. Need to write as following:

.example-text{
   color:blue;
}
@media(max-width:600px){
  .example-text{
     color:red;
   }
}

Well I found nobody mentioned this trick.

Without redirection, you can still prevent the form confirmation when refresh.

By default, form code is like this:

<form method="post" action="test.php">

now, change it to <form method="post" action="test.php?nonsense=1">

You will see the magic.

I guess its because browsers won't trigger the confirmation alert popup if it gets a GET method (query string) in the url.

SQL Server does not track the order of inserted rows, so there is no reliable way to get that information given your current table structure. Even if employee_id is an IDENTITY column, it is not 100% foolproof to rely on that for order of insertion (since you can fill gaps and even create duplicate ID values using SET IDENTITY_INSERT ON). If employee_id is an IDENTITY column and you are sure that rows aren't manually inserted out of order, you should be able to use this variation of your query to select the data in sequence, newest first:

SELECT 
   ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY EMPLOYEE_ID DESC) AS ID, 
   EMPLOYEE_ID,
   EMPLOYEE_NAME 
FROM dbo.CSBCA1_5_FPCIC_2012_EES207201222743
ORDER BY ID;

You can make a change to your table to track this information for new rows, but you won't be able to derive it for your existing data (they will all me marked as inserted at the time you make this change).

ALTER TABLE dbo.CSBCA1_5_FPCIC_2012_EES207201222743 
-- wow, who named this?
  ADD CreatedDate DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP;

Note that this may break existing code that just does INSERT INTO dbo.whatever SELECT/VALUES() - e.g. you may have to revisit your code and define a proper, explicit column list.

Applied the instructions from this answer and it worked Just to point out a more copy paste like answer ( because cygwin installation procedure is kind of anti-copy-paste wise implemented )
Click WinLogo button , type cmd.exe , right click it , choose "Start As Administrator". In cmd prompt:

 cd <directory_where_i_forgot_the setup-x86_64.exe> cygwin installer:
 set package_name=cygrunsrv cron
 setup-x86_64.exe -n -q -s http://cygwin.mirror.constant.com -P %package_name%

Ensure the installer does not throw any errors in the prompt ... If it has - you probably have some cygwin binaries running or you are not an Windows admin, or some freaky bug ...

Now in cmd promt:

 C:\cygwin64\bin\cygrunsrv.exe -I cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a -D   

or whatever full file path you might have to the cygrunsrv.exe and start the cron as windows service in the cmd prompt

 net start cron

Now in bash terminal run crontab -e

set up you cron entry an example bellow:

        #sync my gdrive each 10th minute
    */10 * * * * /home/Yordan/sync_gdrive.sh

    # * * * * * command to be executed
    # - - - - -
    # | | | | |
    # | | | | +- - - - day of week (0 - 6) (Sunday=0)
    # | | | +- - - - - month (1 - 12)
    # | | +- - - - - - day of month (1 - 31)
    # | +- - - - - - - hour (0 - 23)
    # +--------------- minute

Just to make searching easier, as mentioned in comments, this is not possible since 3.1 https://stackoverflow.com/a/19856367/6505257

You mean fast enumeration? You question is very unclear.

A normal for loop would look a bit like this:

unsigned int i, cnt = [someArray count];
for(i = 0; i < cnt; i++)
{ 
   // do loop stuff
   id someObject = [someArray objectAtIndex:i];
}

And a loop with fast enumeration, which is optimized by the compiler, would look like this:

for(id someObject in someArray)
{
   // do stuff with object
}

Keep in mind that you cannot change the array you are using in fast enumeration, thus no deleting nor adding when using fast enumeration

simply use local time as the default:

CREATE TABLE whatever(
     ....
     timestamp DATE DEFAULT (datetime('now','localtime')),
     ...
);

• because when the constructor is called, the bean is not yet initialized - i.e. no dependencies are injected. In the @PostConstruct method the bean is fully initialized and you can use the dependencies.

• because this is the contract that guarantees that this method will be invoked only once in the bean lifecycle. It may happen (though unlikely) that a bean is instantiated multiple times by the container in its internal working, but it guarantees that @PostConstruct will be invoked only once.

on ubuntu you can try gnome-open.

$ gnome-open http://www.google.com

if you know the file name, but don't know the file extention you can use this function:

public function showImage($name)
    {

         $types = [
             'gif'=> 'image/gif',
             'png'=> 'image/png',
             'jpeg'=> 'image/jpeg',
             'jpg'=> 'image/jpeg',
         ];
         $root_path  = '/var/www/my_app'; //use your framework to get this properly ..
         foreach($types as $type=>$meta){
             if(file_exists($root_path .'/uploads/'.$name  .'.'. $type)){
                 header('Content-type: ' . $meta);
                 readfile($root_path .'/uploads/'.$name .'.'. $type);
                 return;
             }
         }
    }

Note: the correct content-type for JPG files is image/jpeg.

This is what worked for me for extracting TTFs from .dfont and .ttc files from Mac OS X: http://transfonter.org/ttc-unpack

The resulting TTFs work fine in Windows 7.

This depends on what content do you have. You need to initialize your requestMessage.Content property with new HttpContent. For example:

...
// Add request body
if (isPostRequest)
{
    requestMessage.Content = new ByteArrayContent(content);
}
...

where content is your encoded content. You also should include correct Content-type header.

UPDATE:

Oh, it can be even nicer (from this answer):

requestMessage.Content = new StringContent("{\"name\":\"John Doe\",\"age\":33}", Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");

I think the keystore file you want to use has a different or unsupported format in respect to your Java version. Could you post some more info of your task?

In general, to solve this issue you might need to recreate the whole keystore (using some other JDK version for example). In export-import the keys between the old and the new one - if you manage to open the old one somewhere else.

If it is simply an unsupported version, try the BouncyCastle crypto provider for example (although I'm not sure If it adds support to Java for more keystore types?).

Edit: I looked at the feature spec of BC.

You do not really need jQuery for such tasks. In the ES6 specification they already have out of the box methods startsWith and endsWith.

var str = "To be, or not to be, that is the question.";
alert(str.startsWith("To be"));         // true
alert(str.startsWith("not to be"));     // false
alert(str.startsWith("not to be", 10)); // true

var str = "To be, or not to be, that is the question.";
alert( str.endsWith("question.") );  // true
alert( str.endsWith("to be") );      // false
alert( str.endsWith("to be", 19) );  // true

Currently available in FF and Chrome. For old browsers you can use their polyfills or substr

Yes, you can get it from the File object by using File.toPath(). Keep in mind that this is only for Java 7+. Java versions 6 and below do not have it.

I know its a very old post but thought of sharing few more details on Parse vs TryParse.

I had a scenario where DateTime needs to be converted to String and if datevalue null or string.empty we were facing an exception. In order to overcome this, we have replaced Parse with TryParse and will get default date.

Old Code:

dTest[i].StartDate = DateTime.Parse(StartDate).ToString("MM/dd/yyyy");
dTest[i].EndDate = DateTime.Parse(EndDate).ToString("MM/dd/yyyy");

New Code:

DateTime startDate = default(DateTime);
DateTime endDate=default(DateTime);
DateTime.TryParse(dPolicyPaidHistories[i].StartDate, out startDate);
DateTime.TryParse(dPolicyPaidHistories[i].EndDate, out endDate);

Have to declare another variable and used as Out for TryParse.

As stated from David Cournapeau, use figure().

import matplotlib
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.mlab as mlab

plt.figure()
x = [1,10]
y = [30, 1000]
plt.loglog(x, y, basex=10, basey=10, ls="-")
plt.savefig("first.ps")


plt.figure()
x = [10,100]
y = [10, 10000]
plt.loglog(x, y, basex=10, basey=10, ls="-")
plt.savefig("second.ps")

Or subplot(121) / subplot(122) for the same plot, different position.

import matplotlib
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.mlab as mlab

plt.subplot(121)
x = [1,10]
y = [30, 1000]
plt.loglog(x, y, basex=10, basey=10, ls="-")

plt.subplot(122)
x = [10,100]
y = [10, 10000]
plt.loglog(x, y, basex=10, basey=10, ls="-")
plt.savefig("second.ps")

I think something like the following library could help you out to solve the missing bit of the puzzle, the getPlatform() function.

https://github.com/joeferraro/react-native-env

const EnvironmentManager = require('react-native-env');

// read an environment variable from React Native
EnvironmentManager.get('SOME_VARIABLE')
  .then(val => {
    console.log('value of SOME_VARIABLE is: ', val);

  })
  .catch(err => {
    console.error('womp womp: ', err.message);
  });

The only problem I see with this, that it's async code. There is a pull request to support getSync. Check it out too.

Backout restores or undoes our changes. The way it does this is that, P4 undoes the changes in a changelist (default or new) on our local workspace. We then have to submit/commit this backedout changelist as we do other changeslists. The second part is important here, as it doesn't automatically backout the changelist on the server, we have to submit the backedout changelist (which makes sense after you do it, but i was initially assuming it does that automatically).

As pointed by others, Rollback has greater powers - It can restore changes to a specific date, changelist or a revision#

I sincerely hope this will help future searchers when googling for this common question.

This was the easiest solution that I found.

• Select Table

• Press ALT + F1

• Scroll and view constraint names

Then the query is simple:

ALTER TABLE [Table]
DROP CONSTRAINT [Constraint]

If you want to apply the style even after getting struck-trough indication, you can use "!important" to enforce the style. It may not be a right solution but solve the problem.

It appears the default setting for Adobe Reader X is for the toolbars not to be shown by default unless they are explicitly turned on by the user. And even when I turn them back on during a session, they don't show up automatically next time. As such, I suspect you have a preference set contrary to the default.

The state you desire, with the top and left toolbars not shown, is called "Read Mode". If you right-click on the document itself, and then click "Page Display Preferences" in the context menu that is shown, you'll be presented with the Adobe Reader Preferences dialog. (This is the same dialog you can access by opening the Adobe Reader application, and selecting "Preferences" from the "Edit" menu.) In the list shown in the left-hand column of the Preferences dialog, select "Internet". Finally, on the right, ensure that you have the "Display in Read Mode by default" box checked:

You can also turn off the toolbars temporarily by clicking the button at the right of the top toolbar that depicts arrows pointing to opposing corners:

Finally, if you have "Display in Read Mode by default" turned off, but want to instruct the page you're loading not to display the toolbars (i.e., override the user's current preferences), you can append the following to the URL:

#toolbar=0&navpanes=0

So, for example, the following code will disable both the top toolbar (called "toolbar") and the left-hand toolbar (called "navpane"). However, if the user knows the keyboard combination (F8, and perhaps other methods as well), they will still be able to turn them back on.

string url = @"http://www.domain.com/file.pdf#toolbar=0&navpanes=0";
this._WebBrowser.Navigate(url);

You can read more about the parameters that are available for customizing the way PDF files open here on Adobe's developer website.

EDIT: I just realised after reading your question again, that i did not answer your question. You want to enter multiple lines in the same plot. However, I'll leave it be, because this served me very well multiple times. I hope you find usefull someday

I found this a while back when learning python

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.gridspec as gridspec

fig = plt.figure() 
# create figure window

gs = gridspec.GridSpec(a, b)
# Creates grid 'gs' of a rows and b columns 


ax = plt.subplot(gs[x, y])
# Adds subplot 'ax' in grid 'gs' at position [x,y]


ax.set_ylabel('Foo') #Add y-axis label 'Foo' to graph 'ax' (xlabel for x-axis)


fig.add_subplot(ax) #add 'ax' to figure

you can make different sizes in one figure as well, use slices in that case:

 gs = gridspec.GridSpec(3, 3)
 ax1 = plt.subplot(gs[0,:]) # row 0 (top) spans all(3) columns

consult the docs for more help and examples. This little bit i typed up for myself once, and is very much based/copied from the docs as well. Hope it helps... I remember it being a pain in the #$% to get acquainted with the slice notation for the different sized plots in one figure. After that i think it's very simple :)

the _T convention is used to indicate the program should use the character set defined for the application (Unicode, ASCII, MBCS, etc.). You can surround your strings with _T( ) to have them stored in the correct format.

 cout << _T( "There are " ) << argc << _T( " arguments:" ) << endl;

The typical command is:

docker container ls -f 'status=exited'

However, this will only list one of the possible non-running statuses. Here's a list of all possible statuses:

• created
• restarting
• running
• removing
• paused
• exited
• dead

You can filter on multiple statuses by passing multiple filters on the status:

docker container ls -f 'status=exited' -f 'status=dead' -f 'status=created'

If you are integrating this with an automatic cleanup script, you can chain one command to another with some bash syntax, output just the container id's with -q, and you can also limit to just the containers that exited successfully with an exit code filter:

docker container rm $(docker container ls -q -f 'status=exited' -f 'exited=0')

For more details on filters you can use, see Docker's documentation: https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/ps/#filtering

[What you have is just an object, not a "json-object". JSON is a textual notation. What you've quoted is JavaScript code using an array initializer and an object initializer (aka, "object literal syntax").]

If you can rely on having ECMAScript5 features available, you can use the Object.keys function to get an array of the keys (property names) in an object. All modern browsers have Object.keys (including IE9+).

Object.keys(jsonData).forEach(function(key) {
    var value = jsonData[key];
    // ...
});

The rest of this answer was written in 2011. In today's world, A) You don't need to polyfill this unless you need to support IE8 or earlier (!), and B) If you did, you wouldn't do it with a one-off you wrote yourself or grabbed from an SO answer (and probably shouldn't have in 2011, either). You'd use a curated polyfill, possibly from es5-shim or via a transpiler like Babel that can be configured to include polyfills (which may come from es5-shim).

Here's the rest of the answer from 2011:

Note that older browsers won't have it. If not, this is one of the ones you can supply yourself:

if (typeof Object.keys !== "function") {
    (function() {
        var hasOwn = Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty;
        Object.keys = Object_keys;
        function Object_keys(obj) {
            var keys = [], name;
            for (name in obj) {
                if (hasOwn.call(obj, name)) {
                    keys.push(name);
                }
            }
            return keys;
        }
    })();
}

That uses a for..in loop (more info here) to loop through all of the property names the object has, and uses Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty to check that the property is owned directly by the object rather than being inherited.

(I could have done it without the self-executing function, but I prefer my functions to have names, and to be compatible with IE you can't use named function expressions [well, not without great care]. So the self-executing function is there to avoid having the function declaration create a global symbol.)

You can try adding a question mark as below. This worked for me.

 componentWillReceiveProps(nextProps) {
    this.setState({
        title: nextProps?.blog?.title,
        body: nextProps?.blog?.content
     })
    }

You would use the WITH ADMIN OPTION option in the GRANT statement

GRANT CREATE SESSION TO <<username>> WITH ADMIN OPTION

For Ubunutu 18.04 inside a vagrant box ... This is what helped me

1. Ensure www-data has permissions to the .htaccess file

     
       sudo chown www-data.www-data .htaccess
     
   

2. edit the apache2 conf to allow for symlinks etc

     
       sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
     
   

   Add this to the file

<Directory /var/www/html/>_x000D_
  Options Indexes FollowSymLinks_x000D_
  AllowOverride all_x000D_
  Require all granted_x000D_

3. Restart your apache2 server

   sudo service apache2 restart

I hope this helps someone.

I found this to be the only one short + flexible + portable + readable:

from __future__ import print_function
import sys

def eprint(*args, **kwargs):
    print(*args, file=sys.stderr, **kwargs)

The function eprint can be used in the same way as the standard print function:

>>> print("Test")
Test
>>> eprint("Test")
Test
>>> eprint("foo", "bar", "baz", sep="---")
foo---bar---baz

As a full method chain that would look like this:

lista.SelectMany(a => listb.Where(xi => b.Id == a.Id && b.Total != a.Total),
                (a, b) => new ResultItem
                {
                    Id = a.Id,
                    ATotal = a.Total,
                    BTotal = b.Total
                }).ToList();

You should not be using buttons of the same name. It's bad semantics. Instead, you should modify your backend to look for different name values being set:

<input type="submit" name="COMMAND_PREV" value="&lsaquo; Prev">
<input type="submit" name="COMMAND_SAVE" value="Save">
<input type="reset"  name="NOTHING" value="Reset">
<input type="submit" name="COMMAND_NEXT" value="Next &rsaquo;">
<input type="button" name="NOTHING" value="Skip &rsaquo;" onclick="window.location = 'yada-yada.asp';">

Since I don't know what language you are using on the backend, I'll give you some pseudocode:

if (input name COMMAND_PREV is set) {

} else if (input name COMMAND_SAVE is set) {

} else if (input name COMMENT_NEXT is set) {

}

What you seem to be thinking is that most of the processing is handled in the node event loop. Node actually farms off the I/O work to threads. I/O operations typically take orders of magnitude longer than CPU operations so why have the CPU wait for that? Besides, the OS can handle I/O tasks very well already. In fact, because Node does not wait around it achieves much higher CPU utilisation.

By way of analogy, think of NodeJS as a waiter taking the customer orders while the I/O chefs prepare them in the kitchen. Other systems have multiple chefs, who take a customers order, prepare the meal, clear the table and only then attend to the next customer.

You can use the cache dir using context.getCacheDir().

File temp=File.createTempFile("prefix","suffix",context.getCacheDir());

Another way would be adding __getitem__, __setitem__ function

def __getitem__(self, key):
    return getattr(self, key)

You can use self[key] to access now.

First of all, don't create HTML elements by string concatenation. Use DOM manipulation. It's faster, cleaner, and less error-prone. This alone solves one of your problems. Then, just let it accept any array as an argument:

var options = [
        set0 = ['Option 1','Option 2'],
        set1 = ['First Option','Second Option','Third Option']
    ];

function makeUL(array) {
    // Create the list element:
    var list = document.createElement('ul');

    for (var i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
        // Create the list item:
        var item = document.createElement('li');

        // Set its contents:
        item.appendChild(document.createTextNode(array[i]));

        // Add it to the list:
        list.appendChild(item);
    }

    // Finally, return the constructed list:
    return list;
}

// Add the contents of options[0] to #foo:
document.getElementById('foo').appendChild(makeUL(options[0]));

Here's a demo. You might also want to note that set0 and set1 are leaking into the global scope; if you meant to create a sort of associative array, you should use an object:

var options = {
    set0: ['Option 1', 'Option 2'],
    set1: ['First Option', 'Second Option', 'Third Option']
};

And access them like so:

makeUL(options.set0);

make you service like this in your Mainifest

 <service
            android:name=".sys.service.youservice"
            android:exported="true"
        android:process=":ServiceProcess" />

then your service will run on other process named ServiceProcess

if you want make your service never die :

1. onStartCommand() return START_STICKY

2. onDestroy() -> startself

3. create a Deamon service

4. jin -> create a Native Deamon process, you can find some open-source projects on github

5. startForeground() , there is a way to startForeground without Notification ,google it

This error apears when you have some form controls (like Inputs, Selects, etc) in your form group tags with no formControlName property.

Those examples throws the error:

<form [formGroup]="myform">
    <input type="text">
    <input type="text" [ngmodel]="nameProperty">
    <input type="text" [formGroup]="myform" [name]="name">
</fom>

There are two ways, the stand alone:

<form [formGroup]="myform">
    <input type="text" [ngModelOptions]="{standalone: true}">
    <input type="text" [ngmodel]="nameProperty" [ngModelOptions]="{standalone: true}">
    <!-- input type="text" [formGroup]="myform" [name]="name" --> <!-- no works with standalone --
</form>

Or including it into the formgroup

<form [formGroup]="myform">
    <input type="text" formControlName="field1">
    <input type="text" formControlName="nameProperty">
    <input type="text" formControlName="name">
</fom>

The last one implies to define them in the initialization formGroup

this.myForm =  new FormGroup({
    field1: new FormControl(''),
    nameProperty: new FormControl(''),
    name: new FormControl('')
});

In general, this is probably not a great idea, since your html file should only be loading JS files that they actually make use of. Regardless, this would be trivial to do with any server-side scripting language. Just insert the script tags before serving the pages to the client.

If you want to do it without using server-side scripting, you could drop your JS files into a directory that allows listing the directory contents, and then use XMLHttpRequest to read the contents of the directory, and parse out the file names and load them.

Option #3 is to have a "loader" JS file that uses getScript() to load all of the other files. Put that in a script tag in all of your html files, and then you just need to update the loader file whenever you upload a new script.

Using the C# language constructs, you cannot explicitly call the base function from outside the scope of A or B. If you really need to do that, then there is a flaw in your design - i.e. that function shouldn't be virtual to begin with, or part of the base function should be extracted to a separate non-virtual function.

You can from inside B.X however call A.X

class B : A
{
  override void X() { 
    base.X();
    Console.WriteLine("y"); 
  }
}

But that's something else.

As Sasha Truf points out in this answer, you can do it through IL. You can probably also accomplish it through reflection, as mhand points out in the comments.

I was looking for a way to mimic the CTRL+Shift+End, so dotNET solution is great, except with my Excel 2010 I need to add a set if I want to avoid an error:

Function GetLastCell(sh As Worksheet) As Range
  Set GetLastCell = sh.Cells(1, 1).SpecialCells(xlLastCell)
End Function

and how to check this for yourself:

Sub test()
  Dim ws As Worksheet, r As Range
  Set ws = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1")
  Set r = GetLastCell(ws)
  MsgBox r.Column & "-" & r.Row
End Sub

I suggest sty. It's similar to colorama, but less verbose and it supports 8bit and 24bit colors. You can also extend the color register with your own colors.

Examples:

from sty import fg, bg, ef, rs

foo = fg.red + 'This is red text!' + fg.rs
bar = bg.blue + 'This has a blue background!' + bg.rs
baz = ef.italic + 'This is italic text' + rs.italic
qux = fg(201) + 'This is pink text using 8bit colors' + fg.rs
qui = fg(255, 10, 10) + 'This is red text using 24bit colors.' + fg.rs

# Add custom colors:

from sty import Style, RgbFg

fg.orange = Style(RgbFg(255, 150, 50))

buf = fg.orange + 'Yay, Im orange.' + fg.rs

print(foo, bar, baz, qux, qui, buf, sep='\n')

Demo:

    var str = "I have a cat, a dog, and a goat.";

    str = str.replace(/goat/i, "cat");
    // now str = "I have a cat, a dog, and a cat."

    str = str.replace(/dog/i, "goat");
    // now str = "I have a cat, a goat, and a cat."

    str = str.replace(/cat/i, "dog");
    // now str = "I have a dog, a goat, and a cat."

editText is a part of alertDialog layout so Just access editText with reference of alertDialog

EditText editText = (EditText) alertDialog.findViewById(R.id.label_field);

Update:

Because in code line dialogBuilder.setView(inflater.inflate(R.layout.alert_label_editor, null));

inflater is Null.

update your code like below, and try to understand the each code line

AlertDialog.Builder dialogBuilder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
// ...Irrelevant code for customizing the buttons and title
LayoutInflater inflater = this.getLayoutInflater();
View dialogView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.alert_label_editor, null);
dialogBuilder.setView(dialogView);

EditText editText = (EditText) dialogView.findViewById(R.id.label_field);
editText.setText("test label");
AlertDialog alertDialog = dialogBuilder.create();
alertDialog.show();

Update 2:

As you are using View object created by Inflater to update UI components else you can directly use setView(int layourResId) method of AlertDialog.Builder class, which is available from API 21 and onwards.

For Sublime Text Editor

Indentation Error generally occurs when the code contains a mix of both tabs and spaces for indentation. I have got a very nice solution to correct it, just open your code in a sublime text editor and find 'Tab Size' in the bottom right corner of Sublime Text Editor and click it. Now select either

'Convert Indentation to Spaces'

OR

'Convert Indentation to Tabs'

Your code will work in either case.

Additionally, if you want Sublime text to do it automatically for you for every code you can update the Preference settings as below:-

Sublime Text menu > Preferences > Settings - Syntax Specific :

Python.sublime-settings

{
    "tab_size": 4,
    "translate_tabs_to_spaces": true
}

This is how I did it.

It may be faster because it is using execute_batch:

# df is the dataframe
if len(df) > 0:
    df_columns = list(df)
    # create (col1,col2,...)
    columns = ",".join(df_columns)

    # create VALUES('%s', '%s",...) one '%s' per column
    values = "VALUES({})".format(",".join(["%s" for _ in df_columns])) 

    #create INSERT INTO table (columns) VALUES('%s',...)
    insert_stmt = "INSERT INTO {} ({}) {}".format(table,columns,values)

    cur = conn.cursor()
    psycopg2.extras.execute_batch(cur, insert_stmt, df.values)
    conn.commit()
    cur.close()

Your quotes only need to surround the value part of the attribute-equals selector, [attr='val'], like this:

$('a#check_var').click(function() {
  alert($("input:radio[name='r']:checked").val()+ ' '+
        $("input:radio[name='s']:checked").val());
});?

You can see the working version here.

I create a Comet Chat for my app, and when I receive a message from another user I use:

if(new_message){
    if(!document.hasFocus()){
        audio.play();
        document.title="Have new messages";
    }
    else{
        audio.stop();
        document.title="Application Name";
    } 
}

You can use parents method with specified .class selector and check if any of them matches it:

if ($elem.parents('.left').length != 0) {
    //someone has this class
}

Try using WSDL.exe and then including the generated file (.cs) into your project.

Fire up the Visual Studio Command prompt (under visual studio/tools in the start menu) then type

>wsdl.exe [path To Your WSDL File]

That'll spit out a file, which you copy/move and include in your project. That file contains a class which is a proxy to your sevice, Fire up an instance of that class, and it'll have a URL property you can set on the fly, and a bunch of methods that you can call. It'll also generate classes for all/any complex objects passed across the service interface.

Typically, arrays require constants to initialize their size. You could sweep over nvPairs once to get the length, then "dynamically" create an array using a variable for length like this.

InputProperty[] ip = (InputProperty[])Array.CreateInstance(typeof(InputProperty), length);

I wouldn't recommend it, though. Just stick with the

List<InputProperty> ip = ...
...
update.Items = ip.ToArray();

solution. It's not that much less performant, and way better looking.

And another expansion:

# create dummy matrix
set.seed(10)
m <- matrix(round(runif(25, 1, 5)), 5)
d <- as.data.frame(m)

If you want to assign new column names you can do following on data.frame:

# an identical effect can be achieved with colnames()   
names(d) <- LETTERS[1:5]
> d
  A B C D E
1 3 2 4 3 4
2 2 2 3 1 3
3 3 2 1 2 4
4 4 3 3 3 2
5 1 3 2 4 3

If you, however run previous command on matrix, you'll mess things up:

names(m) <- LETTERS[1:5]
> m
     [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5]
[1,]    3    2    4    3    4
[2,]    2    2    3    1    3
[3,]    3    2    1    2    4
[4,]    4    3    3    3    2
[5,]    1    3    2    4    3
attr(,"names")
 [1] "A" "B" "C" "D" "E" NA  NA  NA  NA  NA  NA  NA  NA  NA  NA  NA  NA  NA  NA 
[20] NA  NA  NA  NA  NA  NA 

Since matrix can be regarded as two-dimensional vector, you'll assign names only to first five values (you don't want to do that, do you?). In this case, you should stick with colnames().

So there...

I found maybe best solution for parallax effect which work on all devices.

Main thing is to set all sections with z-index greater than parallax section.

And parallax image element to set fixed with max width and height

body, html { margin: 0px; }_x000D_
section {_x000D_
  position: relative; /* Important */_x000D_
  z-index: 1; /* Important */_x000D_
  width: 100%;_x000D_
  height: 100px;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
section.blue { background-color: blue; }_x000D_
section.red { background-color: red; }_x000D_
_x000D_
section.parallax {_x000D_
  z-index: 0; /* Important */_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
section.parallax .image {_x000D_
  position: fixed; /* Important */_x000D_
  top: 0; /* Important */_x000D_
  left: 0; /* Important */_x000D_
  width: 100%; /* Important */_x000D_
  height: 100%; /* Important */_x000D_
  background-image: url(https://www.w3schools.com/css/img_fjords.jpg);_x000D_
  background-repeat: no-repeat;_x000D_
  background-position: center;_x000D_
  -webkit-background-size: cover;_x000D_
  -moz-background-size: cover;_x000D_
  -o-background-size: cover;_x000D_
  background-size: cover;_x000D_
}

<section class="blue"></section>_x000D_
<section class="parallax">_x000D_
  <div class="image"></div>_x000D_
</section>_x000D_
<section class="red"></section>

you can clear it by using this line

$('#TextBoxID').val("");

You should also make sure that the ports WAMP uses aren't already in use.

That can be done by typing the following command into the command prompt:

netstat –o

Yes, the first one is a static method also called class method, while the second one is an instance method.

Consider the following examples, to understand it in more detail.

In ES5

function Person(firstName, lastName) {
   this.firstName = firstName;
   this.lastName = lastName;
}

Person.isPerson = function(obj) {
   return obj.constructor === Person;
}

Person.prototype.sayHi = function() {
   return "Hi " + this.firstName;
}

In the above code, isPerson is a static method, while sayHi is an instance method of Person.

Below, is how to create an object from Person constructor.

var aminu = new Person("Aminu", "Abubakar");

Using the static method isPerson.

Person.isPerson(aminu); // will return true

Using the instance method sayHi.

aminu.sayHi(); // will return "Hi Aminu"

In ES6

class Person {
   constructor(firstName, lastName) {
      this.firstName = firstName;
      this.lastName = lastName;
   }

   static isPerson(obj) {
      return obj.constructor === Person;
   }

   sayHi() {
      return `Hi ${this.firstName}`;
   }
}

Look at how static keyword was used to declare the static method isPerson.

To create an object of Person class.

const aminu = new Person("Aminu", "Abubakar");

Using the static method isPerson.

Person.isPerson(aminu); // will return true

Using the instance method sayHi.

aminu.sayHi(); // will return "Hi Aminu"

NOTE: Both examples are essentially the same, JavaScript remains a classless language. The class introduced in ES6 is primarily a syntactical sugar over the existing prototype-based inheritance model.

Bootstrap leverages HTML5 standards in order to access DOM element attributes easily within javascript.

data-*

Forms a class of attributes, called custom data attributes, that allow proprietary information to be exchanged between the HTML and its DOM representation that may be used by scripts. All such custom data are available via the HTMLElement interface of the element the attribute is set on. The HTMLElement.dataset property gives access to them.

Reference

Try this

#/bin/bash

read -p "Enter a word: " word
echo "You entered $word"

The problem is database connection string, one of your MySQL database connection function parameter is not correct ,so there is an error message in the browser output, Just right click output webpage and view html source code you will see error line followed by correct XML output data(file). I had same problem and the above solution worked perfectly.

It's a bit late but I think your issue may be that you've created a zero-length array, rather than an array of length 1.

A string is a series of characters followed by a string terminator ('\0'). An empty string ("") consists of no characters followed by a single string terminator character - i.e. one character in total.

So I would try the following:

string[1] = ""

Note that this behaviour is not the emulated by strlen, which does not count the terminator as part of the string length.

Interface Builder uses them to determine what members and messages can be 'wired' up to the interface controls you are using in your window/view.

IBOutlet and IBAction are purely there as markers that Interface Builder looks for when it parses your code at design time, they don't have any affect on the code generated by the compiler.

You check if it's null in C# like this:

if(MyObject != null) {
  //do something
}

If you want to check against default (tough to understand the question on the info given) check:

if(MyObject != default(MyObject)) {
 //do something
}

Coming from SQL Server as well, and this really bugged me. For those using Toad Data Point or Toad for Oracle, it's extremely simple. Just putting a colon in front of your variable name will prompt Toad to open a dialog where you enter the value on execute.

SELECT * FROM some_table WHERE some_column = :var_name;

this works too.

df = NULL
for (k in 1:10)
    {
       x = 1
       y = 2
       z = 3
       df = rbind(df, data.frame(x,y,z))
     }

output will look like this

df #enter

x y z #col names
1 2 3

In recent browsers you can use:

Object.keys(obj.Data).length

See MDN

For older browsers, use the for-in loop in Michael Geary's answer.

It's unfortunate that it seems JavaScript has no simple way to validate a date string to these days. This is the simplest way I can think of to parse dates in the format "m/d/yyyy" in modern browsers (that's why it doesn't specify the radix to parseInt, since it should be 10 since ES5):

const dateValidationRegex = /^\d{1,2}\/\d{1,2}\/\d{4}$/;_x000D_
function isValidDate(strDate) {_x000D_
  if (!dateValidationRegex.test(strDate)) return false;_x000D_
  const [m, d, y] = strDate.split('/').map(n => parseInt(n));_x000D_
  return m === new Date(y, m - 1, d).getMonth() + 1;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
['10/30/2000abc', '10/30/2000', '1/1/1900', '02/30/2000', '1/1/1/4'].forEach(d => {_x000D_
  console.log(d, isValidDate(d));_x000D_
});

You can check this sample code to understand how you can access the relative path using the java sample code

import java.io.File;

public class MainClass {

  public static void main(String[] args) {

    File relative = new File("html/javafaq/index.html");

    System.out.println("relative: ");
    System.out.println(relative.getName());
    System.out.println(relative.getPath());
  }
}

Here getPath will display the relative path of the file.

This issue is happening because you have installed jre1.8.0_101-1.8.0_101-fcs.i58.rpm as well jdk-1.7.0_80-fcs.x86_64.rpm. so just uninstall your jre rpm & restart your application. It should work out.

As per doc http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/server-status-variables.html#statvar_Connections

Connections

The number of connection attempts (successful or not) to the MySQL server.

After trying out all the suggested solutions, I couldn't find any very helpful.

I finally tried the following:

[self.tabBar setTintColor:[UIColor orangeColor]];

which worked out perfectly.

I only provided one image for every TabBarItem. Didn't even need a selectedImage.

I even used it inside the Child-ViewControllers to set different TintColors:

UIColor *theColorYouWish = ...;
if ([[self.parentViewController class] isSubclassOfClass:[UITabBarController class]]){
    UITabBarController *tbc = (UITabBarController *) self.parentViewController;
    [tbc.tabBar setTintColor:theColorYouWish];
}

It can matter if for instance you are using some sort icon font. I had this just now with:

<span class="fa fa-print fa-3x"><a href="some_link"></a></span>

Normally I would put the span inside the A but the styling wasn't taking effect until swapped it round.

I use a single _version.py file as the "once cannonical place" to store version information:

1. It provides a __version__ attribute.

2. It provides the standard metadata version. Therefore it will be detected by pkg_resources or other tools that parse the package metadata (EGG-INFO and/or PKG-INFO, PEP 0345).

3. It doesn't import your package (or anything else) when building your package, which can cause problems in some situations. (See the comments below about what problems this can cause.)

4. There is only one place that the version number is written down, so there is only one place to change it when the version number changes, and there is less chance of inconsistent versions.

Here is how it works: the "one canonical place" to store the version number is a .py file, named "_version.py" which is in your Python package, for example in myniftyapp/_version.py. This file is a Python module, but your setup.py doesn't import it! (That would defeat feature 3.) Instead your setup.py knows that the contents of this file is very simple, something like:

__version__ = "3.6.5"

And so your setup.py opens the file and parses it, with code like:

import re
VERSIONFILE="myniftyapp/_version.py"
verstrline = open(VERSIONFILE, "rt").read()
VSRE = r"^__version__ = ['\"]([^'\"]*)['\"]"
mo = re.search(VSRE, verstrline, re.M)
if mo:
    verstr = mo.group(1)
else:
    raise RuntimeError("Unable to find version string in %s." % (VERSIONFILE,))

Then your setup.py passes that string as the value of the "version" argument to setup(), thus satisfying feature 2.

To satisfy feature 1, you can have your package (at run-time, not at setup time!) import the _version file from myniftyapp/__init__.py like this:

from _version import __version__

Here is an example of this technique that I've been using for years.

The code in that example is a bit more complicated, but the simplified example that I wrote into this comment should be a complete implementation.

Here is example code of importing the version.

If you see anything wrong with this approach, please let me know.

simply add the following attribute

// for disabled i.e. cannot highlight value or change
disabled="disabled"

// for readonly i.e. can highlight value but not change
readonly="readonly"

jQuery to make the change to the element (substitute disabled for readonly in the following for setting readonly attribute).

$('#fieldName').attr("disabled","disabled") 

or

$('#fieldName').attr("disabled", true) 

NOTE: As of jQuery 1.6, it is recommended to use .prop() instead of .attr(). The above code will work exactly the same except substitute .attr() for .prop().

\ does the job. @Guillaume's answer and @George's comment clearly answer this question. Here I explains why The backslash has to be the very last character before the end of line character. Consider this command:

   mysql -uroot \
   -hlocalhost      

If there is a space after \, the line continuation will not work. The reason is that \ removes the special meaning for the next character which is a space not the invisible line feed character. The line feed character is after the space not \ in this example.

Best practice I think is to set the font to the body:

body {
    font: normal 10px Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;
}

and if you decide to change it for some element it could be easily overwrited:

h2, h3 {
    font-size: 14px;
}

This is my trigger example:

/************ ROLE ************/_x000D_
drop table if exists `role`;_x000D_
create table `role` (_x000D_
    `id_role` bigint(20) unsigned not null auto_increment,_x000D_
    `date_created` datetime,_x000D_
    `date_deleted` datetime,_x000D_
    `name` varchar(35) not null,_x000D_
    `description` text,_x000D_
    primary key (`id_role`)_x000D_
) comment='';_x000D_
_x000D_
drop trigger if exists `role_date_created`;_x000D_
create trigger `role_date_created` before insert_x000D_
    on `role`_x000D_
    for each row _x000D_
    set new.`date_created` = now();

There are some great, articulate answers already, but the question asks for a random number between 0 and 74. Use:

arc4random_uniform(75)

It just doesn't.

The best way to fix this is:

sign = lambda x: bool(x > 0) - bool(x < 0)

I just stumbled upon this great post. If you are just checking whether the data is of string type then maybe we can skip the loop and use this struct (in my humble opinion)

public static bool IsStringType(object data)
    {
        return (data.GetType().GetProperties().Where(x => x.PropertyType == typeof(string)).FirstOrDefault() != null);
    }

Looks like there is an issue with the code you posted. Your function to display the T&C is referencing the wrong div id. You should consider assigning the showTOC function to the onclick attribute once the document is loaded as well:

$(document).ready({
    $('a.TOClink').click(function(){
        showTOC();
    });
});

function showTOC() {
    $('#example').dialog({modal:true});
}

A more concise example which accomplishes the desired effect using the jQuery UI dialog is:

   <div id="terms" style="display:none;">
       Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.
   </div>
   <a id="showTerms" href="#">Show Terms &amp; Conditions</a>      
   <script type="text/javascript">
       $(document).ready(function(){
           $('#showTerms').click(function(){
               $('#terms').dialog({modal:true});   
           });
       });
   </script>

I think it's asking you to do this:

SELECT ID
FROM (SELECT ID,
             msisdn 
      FROM (SELECT * FROM TT2) as myalias
     ) as anotheralias;

But why would you write this query in the first place?

There's no isNumeric() type of function, but you could add your own:

function isNumeric(n) {
  return !isNaN(parseFloat(n)) && isFinite(n);
}

NOTE: Since parseInt() is not a proper way to check for numeric it should NOT be used.

Try Date.now().

The skipping is most likely due to garbage collection. Typically garbage collection can be avoided by reusing variables as much as possible, but I can't say specifically what methods you can use to reduce garbage collection pauses.

you can use indexOf for this

var a = 'how are you';
if (a.indexOf('are') > -1) {
  return true;
} else {
  return false;
}

Edit: This is an old answer that keeps getting up votes every once in a while so I thought I should clarify that in the above code, the if clause is not required at all because the expression itself is a boolean. Here is a better version of it which you should use,

var a = 'how are you';
return a.indexOf('are') > -1;

Update in ECMAScript2016:

var a = 'how are you';
return a.includes('are');  //true

Try mkdir -p:

mkdir -p foo

Note that this will also create any intermediate directories that don't exist; for instance,

mkdir -p foo/bar/baz

will create directories foo, foo/bar, and foo/bar/baz if they don't exist.

Some implementation like GNU mkdir include mkdir --parents as a more readable alias, but this is not specified in POSIX/Single Unix Specification and not available on many common platforms like macOS, various BSDs, and various commercial Unixes, so it should be avoided.

If you want an error when parent directories don't exist, and want to create the directory if it doesn't exist, then you can test for the existence of the directory first:

[ -d foo ] || mkdir foo

You can set Default attribute in Model also>

protected $attributes = [
        'status' => self::STATUS_UNCONFIRMED,
        'role_id' => self::ROLE_PUBLISHER,
    ];

As far as I know you can use all mentioned technologies separately or together. It's up to you. I think you look at the problem from the wrong angle. Material Design is just the way particular elements of the page are designed, behave and put together. Material Design provides great UI/UX, but it relies on the graphic layout (HTML/CSS) rather than JS (events, interactions).

On the other hand, AngularJS and Bootstrap are front-end frameworks that can speed up your development by saving you from writing tons of code. For example, you can build web app utilizing AngularJS, but without Material Design. Or You can build simple HTML5 web page with Material Design without AngularJS or Bootstrap. Finally you can build web app that uses AngularJS with Bootstrap and with Material Design. This is the best scenario. All technologies support each other.

1. Bootstrap = responsive page
2. AngularJS = MVC
3. Material Design = great UI/UX

You can check awesome material design components for AngularJS:

https://material.angularjs.org

Demo: https://material.angularjs.org/latest/demo/

Try this

git checkout master

git pull origin master

for i in {1..600}
do
    n=$(($i%5))
    wget http://example.com/search/link$n
done

In most browsers, you need the Range and Selection objects. You specify each of the selection boundaries as a node and an offset within that node. For example, to set the caret to the fifth character of the second line of text, you'd do the following:

function setCaret() {
    var el = document.getElementById("editable")
    var range = document.createRange()
    var sel = window.getSelection()
    
    range.setStart(el.childNodes[2], 5)
    range.collapse(true)
    
    sel.removeAllRanges()
    sel.addRange(range)
}

<div id="editable" contenteditable="true">
  text text text<br>text text text<br>text text text<br>
</div>

<button id="button" onclick="setCaret()">focus</button>

IE < 9 works completely differently. If you need to support these browsers, you'll need different code.

jsFiddle example: http://jsfiddle.net/timdown/vXnCM/

Use something like this:

page1.php

<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['myValue']=3; // You can set the value however you like.
?>

Any other PHP page:

<?php
session_start();
echo $_SESSION['myValue'];
?>

A few notes to keep in mind though: You need to call session_start() BEFORE any output, HTML, echos - even whitespace.

You can keep changing the value in the session - but it will only be able to be used after the first page - meaning if you set it in page 1, you will not be able to use it until you get to another page or refresh the page.

The setting of the variable itself can be done in one of a number of ways:

$_SESSION['myValue']=1;
$_SESSION['myValue']=$var;
$_SESSION['myValue']=$_GET['YourFormElement'];

And if you want to check if the variable is set before getting a potential error, use something like this:

if(!empty($_SESSION['myValue'])
{
    echo $_SESSION['myValue'];
}
else
{
    echo "Session not set yet.";
}

It depends on the Markdown rendering engine and the Markdown flavour. There is no standard for this. If you mean GitHub flavoured Markdown for example, shell should work fine. Aliases are sh, bash or zsh. You can find the list of available syntax lexers here.

You can use by functions as by(df1$Year, df1$Month, count) that will produce a list of needed aggregation.

The output will look like,

df1$Month: Feb
     x freq
1 2012    1
2 2013    1
3 2014    5
--------------------------------------------------------------- 
df1$Month: Jan
     x freq
1 2012    5
2 2013    2
--------------------------------------------------------------- 
df1$Month: Mar
     x freq
1 2012    1
2 2013    3
3 2014    2

private constructor are useful when you don't want your class to be instantiated by user. To instantiate such classes, you need to declare a static method, which does the 'new' and returns the pointer.

A class with private ctors can not be put in the STL containers, as they require a copy ctor.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
  <appSettings>
    <add key="xyz" value="123" />    
  </appSettings>
</configuration>

Well, I saw the answer above and it worked for me too. But, I gave it a shot, and succeded converting my current project to Relative Layout. Do as follows:

At activity_main.xml tab, change it to text. At the top of it, you'll find the following:

<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

Just change all before xmlns to RelativeLayout. Doing so will also change the very bottom line where you would find:

</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

to

</RelativeLayout>

Problem solved! Be happy :P

If you need not equal object condition use cross join sequences:

var query = from obj1 in set1
from obj2 in set2
where obj1.key1 == obj2.key2 && obj1.key3.contains(obj2.key5) [...conditions...]

The command yum that you launch was executed properly. It returns a non zero status which means that an error occured during the processing of the command. You probably want to add some argument to your yum command to fix that.

Your code could show this error this way:

import subprocess
try:
    subprocess.check_output("dir /f",shell=True,stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)
except subprocess.CalledProcessError as e:
    raise RuntimeError("command '{}' return with error (code {}): {}".format(e.cmd, e.returncode, e.output))

If you want to use flexbox for this, you should be able to, by doing this (display: flex on the container, flex: 1 on the items, and text-align: right on .c):

.main { display: flex; }
.a, .b, .c {
    background: #efefef;
    border: 1px solid #999;
    flex: 1;
}
.b { text-align: center; }
.c { text-align: right; }

...or alternatively (even simpler), if the items don't need to meet, you can use justify-content: space-between on the container and remove the text-align rules completely:

.main { display: flex; justify-content: space-between; }
.a, .b, .c { background: #efefef; border: 1px solid #999; }

Here's a demo on Codepen to allow you to quickly try the above.

You can use json decode then you get php array,and use that value as your own way

<?php 
$leads = json_decode($leads, true);
dd($leads);

I tend to agree with split suggestion.

More of a comment link for suggested further reading...A really good blog article which benchmarks various ways of accomplishing this task can be found here.

They use a few techniques: "Insert Where Not Exists", "Merge" statement, "Insert Except", and your typical "left join" to see which way is the fastest to accomplish this task.

The example code used for each technique is as follows (straight copy/paste from their page) :

INSERT INTO #table1 (Id, guidd, TimeAdded, ExtraData)
SELECT Id, guidd, TimeAdded, ExtraData
FROM #table2
WHERE NOT EXISTS (Select Id, guidd From #table1 WHERE #table1.id = #table2.id)
-----------------------------------
MERGE #table1 as [Target]
USING  (select Id, guidd, TimeAdded, ExtraData from #table2) as [Source]
(id, guidd, TimeAdded, ExtraData)
    on [Target].id =[Source].id
WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN
    INSERT (id, guidd, TimeAdded, ExtraData)
    VALUES ([Source].id, [Source].guidd, [Source].TimeAdded, [Source].ExtraData);
------------------------------
INSERT INTO #table1 (id, guidd, TimeAdded, ExtraData)
SELECT id, guidd, TimeAdded, ExtraData from #table2
EXCEPT
SELECT id, guidd, TimeAdded, ExtraData from #table1
------------------------------
INSERT INTO #table1 (id, guidd, TimeAdded, ExtraData)
SELECT #table2.id, #table2.guidd, #table2.TimeAdded, #table2.ExtraData
FROM #table2
LEFT JOIN #table1 on #table1.id = #table2.id
WHERE #table1.id is null

It's a good read for those who are looking for speed! On SQL 2014, the Insert-Except method turned out to be the fastest for 50 million or more records.

Use the .NET ServiceController class to start it, or issue the commandline command to start it --- "net start servicename". Either way works.

Press app --> Edit Configurations
After that change value in Launch on "Nothing"

C or C++ itself do not define those identifiers. They are compiler extensions and stand for certain calling conventions. That determines where to put arguments, in what order, where the called function will find the return address, and so on. For example, __fastcall means that arguments of functions are passed over registers.

The Wikipedia Article provides an overview of the different calling conventions found out there.

If you installed mongodb with homebrew, there's an easier way:

List mongo job with launchctl:

launchctl list | grep mongo

Stop mongo job:

launchctl stop <job label>

(For me this is launchctl stop homebrew.mxcl.mongodb)

Start mongo job:

launchctl start <job label>

The open source command line java application xsdvi creates an interactive diagram in SVG format from an XML Schema Definition. The generated SVG file can be displayed by a modern web browser where the user can expand and collapse the tree by mouse clicking.

Here is an example of a generated diagram

http://xsdvi.sourceforge.net/ipo.svg

The software can be downloaded from

http://sourceforge.net/projects/xsdvi/

It can be run as follows (assuming Java is installed and java.exe is in the path):-

1. Go to the dist/lib folder.
2. Run the following command java -jar xsdvi.jar <input1.xsd> [<input2.xsd> [<input3.xsd> ...]] [style]

From swift programming guide

If Statements and Forced Unwrapping

You can use an if statement to find out whether an optional contains a value. If an optional does have a value, it evaluates to true; if it has no value at all, it evaluates to false.

So the best way to do this is

// swift > 3
if xyz != nil {}

and if you are using the xyz in if statement.Than you can unwrap xyz in if statement in constant variable .So you do not need to unwrap every place in if statement where xyz is used.

if let yourConstant = xyz{
      //use youtConstant you do not need to unwrap `xyz`
}

This convention is suggested by apple and it will be followed by devlopers.

According to the stack trace, your issue is that your app cannot find org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource, as per this line:

I see that you have commons-dbcp in your list of jars, but for whatever reason, your app is not finding the BasicDataSource class in it.

If you go to C:\Windows\system32\Windowspowershell\v1.0 (and C:\Windows\syswow64\Windowspowershell\v1.0 on x64 machines) in Windows Explorer and double-click powershell.exe you will see that it opens PowerShell with a black background. The PowerShell console shows up as blue when opened from the start menu because the console properties for shortcuts to powershell.exe can be set independently from the default properties.

To set the default options, font, colors and layout, open a PowerShell console, type Alt-Space, and select the Defaults menu option.

Running start powershell from cmd.exe should start a new console with your default settings.

[^\x00-\x7F] and [^[:ascii:]] miss some control bytes so strings can be the better option sometimes. For example cat test.torrent | perl -pe 's/[^[:ascii:]]+/\n/g' will do odd things to your terminal, where as strings test.torrent will behave.

This is my piece of Groovy code for that. Tested.

    // creation the target dir
    if (!dirTo.exists()){

        File target = new File(dirTo,source.getName());
        target.bytes = source.bytes;

  <p>Here's how it is: Earth got used up, so we terraformed a whole new galaxy of Earths, some rich and flush with the new technologies, some not so much. Central Planets, them was formed the Alliance, waged war to bring everyone under their rule; a few idiots tried to fight it, among them myself. I'm Malcolm Reynolds, captain of Serenity. Got a good crew: fighters, pilot, mechanic. We even picked up a preacher, and a bona fide companion. There's a doctor, too, took his genius sister out of some Alliance camp, so they're keeping a low profile. You got a job, we can do it, don't much care what it is.</p>_x000D_

You should try using the Grid Template.

Here's what I've used for a two Column Layout of a <ul>

<ul class="list-group row">
     <li class="list-group-item col-xs-6">Row1</li>
     <li class="list-group-item col-xs-6">Row2</li>
     <li class="list-group-item col-xs-6">Row3</li>
     <li class="list-group-item col-xs-6">Row4</li>
     <li class="list-group-item col-xs-6">Row5</li>
</ul>

This worked for me.

An important point that often bites new Python programmers but the other posters haven't made explicit is that strings in Python are immutable -- you can't ever modify them in place.

You need to retrain yourself when working with strings in Python so that instead of thinking, "How can I modify this string?" instead you're thinking "how can I create a new string that has some pieces from this one I've already gotten?"

You can do something like this using Blob.

<a download="content.txt" ng-href="{{ url }}">download</a>

in your controller:

var content = 'file content for example';
var blob = new Blob([ content ], { type : 'text/plain' });
$scope.url = (window.URL || window.webkitURL).createObjectURL( blob );

in order to enable the URL:

app = angular.module(...);
app.config(['$compileProvider',
    function ($compileProvider) {
        $compileProvider.aHrefSanitizationWhitelist(/^\s*(https?|ftp|mailto|tel|file|blob):/);
}]);

Please note that

Each time you call createObjectURL(), a new object URL is created, even if you've already created one for the same object. Each of these must be released by calling URL.revokeObjectURL() when you no longer need them. Browsers will release these automatically when the document is unloaded; however, for optimal performance and memory usage, if there are safe times when you can explicitly unload them, you should do so.

It probably means that mongodb is not running. You will have to enable it through the command line or on windows run services.msc and enable mongodb.

Try using os.system:

os.system("script2.py 1")

execfile is different because it is designed to run a sequence of Python statements in the current execution context. That's why sys.argv didn't change for you.

extrapolate it! :)

The excellent Pandas library adds features to numpy that make these kinds of operations more intuitive IMO. For example:

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd

# column
df = pd.DataFrame([1,2,3])

# row
df2 = pd.DataFrame([[1,2,3]])

You can even define a DataFrame and make a spreadsheet-like pivot table.

This is a quick way to do that, I mean.

It does not use an expensive regex function. It also does not use multiple replacement functions that each individually did loop over the data with several checks, allocations, etc.

So the search is done directly in one for loop. For the number of times that the capacity of the result array has to be increased, a loop is also used within the Array.Copy function. That are all the loops. In some cases, a larger page size might be more efficient.

public static string NormalizeNewLine(this string val)
{
    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(val))
        return val;

    const int page = 6;
    int a = page;
    int j = 0;
    int len = val.Length;
    char[] res = new char[len];

    for (int i = 0; i < len; i++)
    {
        char ch = val[i];

        if (ch == '\r')
        {
            int ni = i + 1;
            if (ni < len && val[ni] == '\n')
            {
                res[j++] = '\r';
                res[j++] = '\n';
                i++;
            }
            else
            {
                if (a == page) // Ensure capacity
                {
                    char[] nres = new char[res.Length + page];
                    Array.Copy(res, 0, nres, 0, res.Length);
                    res = nres;
                    a = 0;
                }

                res[j++] = '\r';
                res[j++] = '\n';
                a++;
            }
        }
        else if (ch == '\n')
        {
            int ni = i + 1;
            if (ni < len && val[ni] == '\r')
            {
                res[j++] = '\r';
                res[j++] = '\n';
                i++;
            }
            else
            {
                if (a == page) // Ensure capacity
                {
                    char[] nres = new char[res.Length + page];
                    Array.Copy(res, 0, nres, 0, res.Length);
                    res = nres;
                    a = 0;
                }

                res[j++] = '\r';
                res[j++] = '\n';
                a++;
            }
        }
        else
        {
            res[j++] = ch;
        }
    }

    return new string(res, 0, j);
}

I now that '\n\r' is not actually used on basic platforms. But who would use two types of linebreaks in succession to indicate two linebreaks?

If you want to know that, then you need to take a look before to know if the \n and \r both are used separately in the same document.

In a very simple logging scenario, where you're literally just trying to write to console during development for debugging purposes, it might be easiest to just do a search and replace before your production build and comment out all the calls to Log or System.out.println.

For example, assuming you didn't use the "Log." anywhere outside of a call to Log.d or Log.e, etc, you could simply do a find and replace across the entire solution to replace "Log." with "//Log." to comment out all your logging calls, or in my case I'm just using System.out.println everywhere, so before going to production I'll simply do a full search and replace for "System.out.println" and replace with "//System.out.println".

I know this isn't ideal, and it would be nice if the ability to find and comment out calls to Log and System.out.println were built into Eclipse, but until that happens the easiest and fastest and best way to do this is to comment out by search and replace. If you do this, you don't have to worry about mismatching stack trace line numbers, because you're editing your source code, and you're not adding any overhead by checking some log level configuration, etc.

Good example without custom validate methods, but with metadata plugin and some extra html.

You must declare the reportfile as variable for console.

Problem is all the Dokumentations you can find are not running so .. I was give 1 day of my live to find the right way ....

Example: for batch/console

cmd.exe /K set FFREPORT=file='C:\ffmpeg\proto\test.log':level=32 && C:\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg.exe -loglevel warning -report -i inputfile f outputfile

Exemple Javascript:

var reortlogfile = "cmd.exe /K set FFREPORT=file='C:\ffmpeg\proto\" + filename + ".log':level=32 && C:\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg.exe" .......;

You can change the dir and filename how ever you want.

I actually use ASP C# to send my emails now, with something that looks like :

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (Request.Form.Count > 0)
    {
        string formEmail = "";
        string fromEmail = "[email protected]";
        string defaultEmail = "[email protected]";

        string sendTo1 = "";

        int x = 0;

        for (int i = 0; i < Request.Form.Keys.Count; i++)
        {
            formEmail += "<strong>" + Request.Form.Keys[i] + "</strong>";
            formEmail += ": " + Request.Form[i] + "<br/>";
            if (Request.Form.Keys[i] == "Email")
            {
                if (Request.Form[i].ToString() != string.Empty)
                {
                    fromEmail = Request.Form[i].ToString();
                }
                formEmail += "<br/>";
            }

        }
        System.Net.Mail.MailMessage myMsg = new System.Net.Mail.MailMessage();
        SmtpClient smtpClient = new SmtpClient();

        try
        {
            myMsg.To.Add(new System.Net.Mail.MailAddress(defaultEmail));
            myMsg.IsBodyHtml = true;
            myMsg.Body = formEmail;
            myMsg.From = new System.Net.Mail.MailAddress(fromEmail);
            myMsg.Subject = "Sent using Gmail Smtp";
            smtpClient.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
            smtpClient.Port = 587;
            smtpClient.EnableSsl = true;
            smtpClient.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
            smtpClient.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("[email protected]", "pward");

            smtpClient.Send(defaultEmail, sendTo1, "Sent using gmail smpt", formEmail);

        }
        catch (Exception ee)
        {
            debug.Text += ee.Message;
        }
    }
}

This is an example using gmail as the smtp mail sender. Some of what is in here isn't needed, but it is how I use it, as I am sure there are more effective ways in the same fashion.

Description:

quirksmode.org has a nice description of this. In a nutshell (copied from quirksmode):

Event capturing

When you use event capturing

               | |
---------------| |-----------------
| element1     | |                |
|   -----------| |-----------     |
|   |element2  \ /          |     |
|   -------------------------     |
|        Event CAPTURING          |
-----------------------------------

the event handler of element1 fires first, the event handler of element2 fires last.

Event bubbling

When you use event bubbling

               / \
---------------| |-----------------
| element1     | |                |
|   -----------| |-----------     |
|   |element2  | |          |     |
|   -------------------------     |
|        Event BUBBLING           |
-----------------------------------

the event handler of element2 fires first, the event handler of element1 fires last.

What to use?

It depends on what you want to do. There is no better. The difference is the order of the execution of the event handlers. Most of the time it will be fine to fire event handlers in the bubbling phase but it can also be necessary to fire them earlier.

function copyToClipboard(text) {
    var dummy = document.createElement("textarea");
    // to avoid breaking orgain page when copying more words
    // cant copy when adding below this code
    // dummy.style.display = 'none'
    document.body.appendChild(dummy);
    //Be careful if you use texarea. setAttribute('value', value), which works with "input" does not work with "textarea". – Eduard
    dummy.value = text;
    dummy.select();
    document.execCommand("copy");
    document.body.removeChild(dummy);
}
copyToClipboard('hello world')
copyToClipboard('hello\nworld')

Here is the Swift 3 answer for anyone looking since Swift 3 does not accept "Make".

aView.center = CGPoint(x: 200, Y: 200)

The string is a .NET string so you can use .NET methods. In your case:

$index = "The string".IndexOf(" ")

will return 3, which is the first occurrence of space in the string. For more information see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.string.aspx

For your need try something like:

$s.SubString($s.IndexOf("_") + 1, $s.LastIndexOf(".") - $s.IndexOf("_") - 1)

Or you could use regexps:

if ($s -Match '(_)(.*)(\.)[^.]*$') {  $matches[2] }

(has to be adjusted depending on exactly what you need).

In class file you can either use:

module.exports = class ClassNameHere {
 print() {
  console.log('In print function');
 }
}

or you can use this syntax

class ClassNameHere{
 print(){
  console.log('In print function');
 }
}

module.exports = ClassNameHere;

On the other hand to use this class in any other file you need to do these steps. First require that file using this syntax: const anyVariableNameHere = require('filePathHere');

Then create an object const classObject = new anyVariableNameHere();

After this you can use classObject to access the actual class variables

I slightly modified the topic starter source, so it can now play a not-fully-loaded file. Here it is (note, that it is just a sample and is a point to start from; you need to do some exception and error handling here):

private Stream ms = new MemoryStream();
public void PlayMp3FromUrl(string url)
{
    new Thread(delegate(object o)
    {
        var response = WebRequest.Create(url).GetResponse();
        using (var stream = response.GetResponseStream())
        {
            byte[] buffer = new byte[65536]; // 64KB chunks
            int read;
            while ((read = stream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)) > 0)
            {
                var pos = ms.Position;
                ms.Position = ms.Length;
                ms.Write(buffer, 0, read);
                ms.Position = pos;
            }
        }
    }).Start();

    // Pre-buffering some data to allow NAudio to start playing
    while (ms.Length < 65536*10)
        Thread.Sleep(1000);

    ms.Position = 0;
    using (WaveStream blockAlignedStream = new BlockAlignReductionStream(WaveFormatConversionStream.CreatePcmStream(new Mp3FileReader(ms))))
    {
        using (WaveOut waveOut = new WaveOut(WaveCallbackInfo.FunctionCallback()))
        {
            waveOut.Init(blockAlignedStream);
            waveOut.Play();
            while (waveOut.PlaybackState == PlaybackState.Playing)
            {
                System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(100);
            }
        }
    }
}

when you want to access images which are in public/images folder and if you want to access it without using laravel functions, use as follows:

<img src={{url('/images/photo.type')}} width="" height="" alt=""/>

This works fine.

You cannot access elements of an empty vector by subscript.
Always check that the vector is not empty & the index is valid while using the [] operator on std::vector.
[] does not add elements if none exists, but it causes an Undefined Behavior if the index is invalid.

You should create a temporary object of your structure, fill it up and then add it to the vector, using vector::push_back()

subject subObj;
subObj.name = s1;
sub.push_back(subObj);

A data contract is a formal agreement between a service and a client that abstractly describes the data to be exchanged. That is, to communicate, the client and the service do not have to share the same types, only the same data contracts. A data contract precisely defines, for each parameter or return type, what data is serialized (turned into XML) to be exchanged.

Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) uses a serialization engine called the Data Contract Serializer by default to serialize and deserialize data (convert it to and from XML). All .NET Framework primitive types, such as integers and strings, as well as certain types treated as primitives, such as DateTime and XmlElement, can be serialized with no other preparation and are considered as having default data contracts. Many .NET Framework types also have existing data contracts.

Don’t inherit from Python built-in dict, ever! for example update method woldn't use __setitem__, they do a lot for optimization. Use UserDict.

from collections import UserDict

class MyDict(UserDict):
    def __delitem__(self, key):
        pass
    def __setitem__(self, key, value):
        pass

I am using React Bootstrap, which is based on Bootstrap 4. The approach is to use Sass, simliar to Nelson Rothermel's answer above.

The idea is to override Bootstraps Sass variable for font family in your custom Sass file. If you are using Google Fonts, then make sure you import it at the top of your custom Sass file.

For example, my custom Sass file is called custom.sass with the following content:

@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Dancing+Script&display=swap');
   
$font-family-sans-serif: "Dancing Script", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji" !default;

I simply added the font I want to the front of the default values, which can be found in ..\node_modules\boostrap\dist\scss\_variables.scss.

How the custom.scss file is used is shown here, which is obtained from here, which is obtained from here...

Because the React app is created by the Create-React-App utility, there's no need to go through all the crufts like Gulp; I just saved the files and React will compile the Sass for me automagically behind the scene.

You can use the auto_now and auto_now_add options for updated_at and created_at respectively.

class MyModel(models.Model):
    created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
    updated_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)

For who are in rush for test execution, I had to use VS 2017 test explorer to run tests;

It seems that you are mixing different Pythons here (Python 2.x vs. Python 3.x)... This is basically correct:

nb = input('Choose a number: ')

The problem is that it is only supported in Python 3. As @sharpner answered, for older versions of Python (2.x), you have to use the function raw_input:

nb = raw_input('Choose a number: ')

If you want to convert that to a number, then you should try:

number = int(nb)

... though you need to take into account that this can raise an exception:

try:
    number = int(nb)
except ValueError:
    print("Invalid number")

And if you want to print the number using formatting, in Python 3 str.format() is recommended:

print("Number: {0}\n".format(number))

Instead of:

print('Number %s \n' % (nb))

But both options (str.format() and %) do work in both Python 2.7 and Python 3.

For method decorator declaration with configuration "noImplicitAny": true, you can specify type of this variable explicitly depends on @tony19's answer

function logParameter(this:any, target: Object, propertyName: string) {
  //...
}

If the true intent of the question is the comparison between dicts (rather than printing differences), the answer is

dict1 == dict2

This has been mentioned before, but I felt it was slightly drowning in other bits of information. It might appear superficial, but the value comparison of dicts has actually powerful semantics. It covers

• number of keys (if they don't match, the dicts are not equal)
• names of keys (if they don't match, they're not equal)
• value of each key (they have to be '==', too)

The last point again appears trivial, but is acutally interesting as it means that all of this applies recursively to nested dicts as well. E.g.

 m1 = {'f':True}
 m2 = {'f':True}
 m3 = {'a':1, 2:2, 3:m1}
 m4 = {'a':1, 2:2, 3:m2}
 m3 == m4  # True

Similar semantics exist for the comparison of lists. All of this makes it a no-brainer to e.g. compare deep Json structures, alone with a simple "==".

I tried almost everything but could not help,what helped me was disabling SIP(System Integration Protection) n it works,I do not know what happens when and how but system file get confused somewhere and causes this...though there might be risks to disabling this obviously

here is how

1.Power on your Mac and hold down the [command]+[R] keys to access the Recovery Partition.

2.From the Recovery Partition, click Utilities from the menu bar, and then select Terminal.

3.Enter the following command into Terminal and press Enter to execute it: csrutil disable

4.Once the command has executed, exit the Terminal and reboot the Mac. When you log back into OS X, SIP will be disabled.

If you just want to extract something from existing commit and keep the original one, you can use

git reset --patch HEAD^

instead of git reset HEAD^. This command allows you to reset just chunks you need.

After you chose the chunks you want to reset, you'll have staged chunks that will reset changes in previous commit after you do

git commit --amend --no-edit

and unstaged chunks that you can add to the separate commit by

git add .
git commit -m "new commit"

Off topic fact:

In mercurial they have hg split - the second feature after hg absorb I'd like to see in git.

that is what i do

.navbar-inverse .navbar-inner {
  background-color: #E27403; /* it's flat*/
 background-image: none;
}

.navbar-inverse .navbar-inner {
  background-image: -ms-linear-gradient(top, #E27403, #E49037);
  background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #E27403, #E49037);
  background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom, #E27403, #E49037);
}

it works well for all navigator you can see demo here http://caverne.fr on the top

Inkscape is used by many people on Wikipedia to convert PDF to SVG.

They even have a handy guide on how to do so!

I have seen JMS used in different commercial and academic projects. JMS can easily come into your picture, whenever you want to have a totally decoupled distributed systems. Generally speaking, when you need to send your request from one node, and someone in your network takes care of it without/with giving the sender any information about the receiver.

In my case, I have used JMS in developing a message-oriented middleware (MOM) in my thesis, where specific types of object-oriented objects are generated in one side as your request, and compiled and executed on the other side as your response.

Dokan looks like a FUSE and sshfs implementation for Windows. If it works as expected and advertised, it would do exactly what you are looking for.

<a [ngClass]="{'class1':array.status === 'active','class2':array.status === 'idle','class3':array.status === 'inactive',}">

Try this:

...(to_date('2011/04/22 08:30:00', 'yyyy/mm/dd hh24:mi:ss'));

Try this one:

$this->db->select("*");
$this->db->where_in("(SELECT trans_id FROM myTable WHERE code = 'B')");
$this->db->where('code !=', 'B');
$this->db->get('myTable');

Note: $this->db->select("*"); is optional when you are selecting all columns from table

If the position of the line (line number) stays the same through the history of the file, this will show you the contents of the line at each commit:

git log --follow --pretty=format:"%h" -- 'path/to/file' | while read -r hash; do echo $hash && git show $hash:'path/to/file' | head -n 544 | tail -n1; done

Change 544 to the line number and path/to/file to the file path.

Another option that I recently stumbled on is this:

    {
        echo "First error line"
        echo "Second error line"
        echo "Third error line"
    } >&2

This uses only Bash built-ins while making multi-line error output less error prone (since you don't have to remember to add &>2 to every line).

You need to use the Scatter chart type instead of Line. That will allow you to define separate X values for each series.

winrm set winrm/config/client '@{TrustedHosts="machineA,machineB"}'

As an aside, it is always a good practice (and possibly a solution for this type of issue) to delete a large number of rows by using batches:

WHILE EXISTS (SELECT 1 
              FROM   YourTable 
              WHERE  <yourCondition>) 
  DELETE TOP(10000) FROM YourTable 
  WHERE  <yourCondition>

Try this example

CREATE PROCEDURE MyProc
BEGIN
    --Stored Procedure variables
    Declare @maxOr int; 
    Declare @maxCa int; 

    --Getting query result in the variable (first variant of syntax)
    SET @maxOr = (SELECT MAX(orId) FROM [order]); 

    --Another variant of seting variable from query
    SELECT @maxCa=MAX(caId) FROM [cart]; 

    --Updating record through the variable
    INSERT INTO [order_cart] (orId,caId)
    VALUES(@maxOr, @maxCa); 

    --return values to the program as dataset
    SELECT
       @maxOr AS maxOr,
       @maxCa AS maxCa

    -- return one int value as "return value"
    RETURN @maxOr
END
GO

You can join all regular expressions into single one. This way the string is scanned only once. Even with a sligthly more complex regular expression.

var thisExpressions = [ /something/, /something_else/, /and_something_else/];
var thisString = 'else';


function matchInArray(str, expr) {
    var fullExpr = new RegExp(expr
        .map(x=>x.source) // Just if you need to provide RegExp instances instead of strings or ...
        // .map(x=>x.substring(1, x.length -2)  // ...if you need to provide strings enclosed by "/" like in original question.
        .join("|")
    )
    return str.match(fullExpr);

};


if (matchInArray(thisString, thisExpressions)) {
    console.log ("Match!!");
} 

In fact, even with this approach, if you need check the same expression set against multiple strings, this is a few suboptimal because you are building (and compiling) the same regular expression each time the function is called.

Better approach would be to use a function builder like this:

var thisExpressions = [ /something/, /something_else/, /and_something_else/];
var thisString = 'else';

function matchInArray_builder(expr) {
    var fullExpr = new RegExp(expr
        .map(x=>x.source) // Just if you need to provide RegExp instances instead of strings or ...
        // .map(x=>x.substring(1, x.length -2)  // ...if you need to provide strings enclosed by "/" like in original question.
        .join("|")
    )   

    return function (str) {
        return str.match(fullExpr);

    };
};  

var matchInArray = matchInArray_builder(thisExpressions);

if (matchInArray(thisString)) {
    console.log ("Match!!");
} 

This is slightly adapted version of Sean's which was preventing back button

// this function makes anchor tags work properly on an iphone

$(document).ready(function(){
if (("standalone" in window.navigator) && window.navigator.standalone) {
  // For iOS Apps
  $("a").on("click", function(e){

    var new_location = $(this).attr("href");
    if (new_location != undefined && new_location.substr(0, 1) != "#" && new_location!='' && $(this).attr("data-method") == undefined){
      e.preventDefault();
      window.location = new_location;
    }
  });
}

});

I'm not exactly sure what it is that you want. Do you want a TimeStamp? Then you can do something simple like:

TimeStamp ts = TimeStamp.FromTicks(value.ToUniversalTime().Ticks);

Since you named a variable epoch, do you want the Unix time equivalent of your date?

DateTime unixStart = DateTime.SpecifyKind(new DateTime(1970, 1, 1), DateTimeKind.Utc);
long epoch = (long)Math.Floor((value.ToUniversalTime() - unixStart).TotalSeconds);

For linux users, and to sum up and add to what others have said here, you should know the following:

1. $CLASSPATH is what Java uses to look through multiple directories to find all the different classes it needs for your script (unless you explicitly tell it otherwise with the -cp override). Using -cp requires that you keep track of all the directories manually and copy-paste that line every time you run the program (not preferable IMO).

2. The colon (":") character separates the different directories. There is only one $CLASSPATH and it has all the directories in it. So, when you run "export CLASSPATH=...." you want to include the current value "$CLASSPATH" in order to append to it. For example:

   export CLASSPATH=.
   export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/usr/share/java/mysql-connector-java-5.1.12.jar
   

   In the first line above, you start CLASSPATH out with just a simple 'dot' which is the path to your current working directory. With that, whenever you run java it will look in the current working directory (the one you're in) for classes. In the second line above, $CLASSPATH grabs the value that you previously entered (.) and appends the path to a mysql dirver. Now, java will look for the driver AND for your classes.

3. echo $CLASSPATH
   

   is super handy, and what it returns should read like a colon-separated list of all the directories, and .jar files, you want java looking in for the classes it needs.

4. Tomcat does not use CLASSPATH. Read what to do about that here: https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/class-loader-howto.html

If you know the structure of the json that you're receiving then I'd suggest having a class structure that mirrors what you're receiving in json.

Then you can call its something like this...

AddressMap addressMap = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<AddressMap>(json);

(Where json is a string containing the json in question)

If you don't know the format of the json you've receiving then it gets a bit more complicated and you'd probably need to manually parse it.

the escape character in bash, hex and octal respectively:

|-------+-------+--------+---------+------------------------------|
| start | \e    | \x1b   | \033    |                              |
| start | \E    | \x1B   | -       | x cannot be capital          |
| end   | \e[0m | \x1m0m | \033[0m |                              |
| end   | \e[m  | \x1b[m | \033[m  | 0 is appended if you omit it |
|       |       |        |         |                              |

short example:

bash exception:

If you are going to use these codes in your special bash variables

• PS0
• PS1
• PS2 (= this is for prompting)
• PS4

you should add extra escape characters so that bash can interpret them correctly. Without this adding extra escape characters it works but you will face problems when you use Ctrl + r for search in your history.

exception rule for bash

You should add \[ before any starting ANSI code and add \] after any ending ones.
Example:
in regular usage: \033[32mThis is in green\033[0m
for PS0/1/2/4: \[\033[32m\]This is in green\[\033[m\]

\[ is for start of a sequence of non-printable characters
\] is for end of a sequence of non-printable characters

Tip: for memorize it you can first add \[\] and then put your ANSI code between them:

• \[start-ANSI-code\]
• \[end-ANSI-code\]

type of color sequence:

1. 3/4 bit
2. 8 bit
3. 24 bit

Before diving into these colors, you should know about 4 modes with these codes:

1. color-mode

It modifies the style of color NOT text. For example make the color bright or darker.

• 0 reset
• 1; lighter than normal
• 2; darker than normal

This mode is not supported widely. It is fully support on Gnome-Terminal.

2. text-mode

This mode is for modifying the style of text NOT color.

• 3; italic
• 4; underline
• 5; blinking (slow)
• 6; blinking (fast)
• 7; reverse
• 8; hide
• 9; cross-out

and are almost supported.
For example KDE-Konsole supports 5; but Gnome-Terminal does not and Gnome supports 8; but KDE does not.

3. foreground mode

This mode is for colorizing the foreground.

4. background mode

This mode is for colorizing the background.

The below table shows a summary of 3/4 bit version of ANSI-color

Tips and Tricks for Advanced Users and Programmers:

Can we use these codes in a programming language?

Yes, you can. I experienced in bash, c, c++, d perl, python

Do they slow down the speed of a program?

I think, NO.

Can we use these on Windows?

3/4-bit Yes, if you compile the code with gcc
some screen-shots on Win-7

How to calculate the length of code?

\033[ = 2, other parts 1

Where can we use these codes?

Anywhere that has a tty interpreter
xterm, gnome-terminal, kde-terminal, mysql-client-CLI and so on.
For example if you want to colorize your output with mysql you can use Perl

#!/usr/bin/perl -n
print "\033[1m\033[31m$1\033[36m$2\033[32m$3\033[33m$4\033[m" while /([|+-]+)|([0-9]+)|([a-zA-Z_]+)|([^\w])/g;

store this code in a file name: pcc (= Perl Colorize Character) and then put the file a in valid PATH then use it anywhere you like.

ls | pcc
df | pcc

inside mysql first register it for pager and then try:

[user2:db2] pager pcc
PAGER set to 'pcc'
[user2:db2] select * from table-name;

It does NOT handle Unicode.

Do these codes only do colorizing?

No, they can do a lot of interesting things. Try:

echo -e '\033[2K'  # clear the screen and do not move the position

or:

echo -e '\033[2J\033[u' # clear the screen and reset the position

There are a lot of beginners that want to clear the screen with system( "clear" ) so you can use this instead of system(3) call

Are they available in Unicode?

Yes. \u001b

Which version of these colors is preferable?

It is easy to use 3/4-bit, but it is much accurate and beautiful to use 24-bit.
If you do not have experience with html so here is a quick tutorial:
24 bits means: 00000000 and 00000000 and 00000000. Each 8-bit is for a specific color.
1..8 is for and 9..16 for and 17..24 for
So in html #FF0000 means and here it is: 255;0;0
in html #00FF00 means which here is: 0;255;0
Does that make sense? what color you want combine it with these three 8-bit values.
