Marmalade fixes lookup for developers

2012/05/022016/02/06 ~ me ~ 發表留言

All Marmalade examples should be runnable after proper setup. (/Developer/Marmalade/6.0/examples/)

If any error comes up, there should be some settings to be added.

As at Marmalade 6.0, it is NOT yet a very complete system settings for OSX 10.7 and XCode 4.3.2.

This is a reference for shortcutting the problems you may meet on Marmalade 6.0

Q: Can build for x86, but not ARM and Deploy Tool

A: Try install Marmalade GCC plugin. Located at /Developer/Marmalade/6.0/tools/xcode/.

Copy the file to /Users/(username)/Library/Application Support/Developer/Shared/Xcode/Plug-ins/

Q: The error shown in Deploy Tool for iPhone: ERROR: codesign_allocate not found: /Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/bin/codesign_allocate

A: find the file: /Developer/Marmalade/6.0/s3e/deploy/plugins/iphone/sign_app.py, line 495

codesign_allocate = join(root, ‘Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/bin/codesign_allocate’)

change the path to:

codesign_allocate = join(root, ‘/usr/bin/codesign_allocate’)

Solutions to some weird problem

Provide here solutions to some difficult problems:

Q: <libxml/HTMLParser.h> file not found

A: Add “$SDK_DIR/usr/include/libxml2″ to “header search path" (not “library search path")

Q: ARC get error

A: You may skip ARC for those file not suitable to use ARC. Steps:

1. Go to Target0>Build Phases

2. Open “Compile Sources"

3. Select ALL files you want.

4. Press ENTER (don’t do mouse dbl-click)

5. Enter “-fno-objc-arc"

Callbacks

2012/03/272016/02/06 ~ me ~ 發表留言

There are many different callbacks method signatures in iOS. Most of the time programmers may not recall all of them when they come to use.

Here I provide a check list of different call backs. Will add incrementally.

UITapGestureRecognizer* gest_0 = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(tap_view)];
[control_0 addGestureRecognizer:gest_0];
- (void)tap_view:(UITapGestureRecognizer*)recognizer{
   UIButton* btn_sender = (UIButton*)[recognizer view];
}

[NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:1 target:self selector:@selector(timer_callback:) userInfo:button repeats:FALSE];

-(void) timer_callback:(id)user_info{
   UIButton* btn_0 = (UIButton*)user_info;
}

<Multi-Threading>

[NSThread detachNewThreadSelector:@selector(threaded_function:) toTarget:self withObject:button];

-(void) threaded_function:(id) param{
   UIButton* btn_0 = (UIButton*)user_info;
}

Android screen

2012/03/212016/02/06 ~ me ~ 發表留言

For 720×1280 screen, title bar height=50, status bar height=50. i.e. with both, content starts at y=100.

Below is the code to get the title bar height and status bar height. Workable at Android 2.2. It only works after the screen is measured, i.e. not in onCreate.

-------------------------------- Rect rectangle = new Rect(); Window window = getWindow(); window.getDecorView().getWindowVisibleDisplayFrame(rectangle); int statusBarHeight = rectangle.top; int contentViewTop = window.findViewById(Window.ID_ANDROID_CONTENT).getTop(); int titleBarHeight = contentViewTop - statusBarHeight; Log.d("", "StatusBar=" + statusBarHeight + ", TitleBar=" + titleBarHeight);

Android: change page without animation (Android 2.2)

2012/03/152013/10/07 ~ me ~ 發表留言

No simple & direct blog talk about how to change activity without animation.
Share here.

// Activity a_current = this; // and A_Target extends Activity Intent intent = new Intent(a_current, A_Target.class); a_current.startActivity(intent); a_current.finish(); a_current.overridePendingTransition(0, 0);

Git & CVS on XCode for project managers

2012/02/242016/02/06 ~ me ~ 發表留言

Q: How to create local Git?

1. Either create an empty project, and choose create local git repository in the dialogs.

2. or call “git init" in the folder

Q: How to push to a remote Git?

1. Add the Remote Git in Organizer Remote. (diagram attached)

2. File -> Source Control -> Push. If the local git is not yet committed, Xcode will ask you to commit local git first.

That’s it.

Java in XCode

2012/02/242012/07/30 ~ me ~ 發表留言

Q: How to Create a Mac OS X Installer for a Java Application
http://www.centerkey.com/mac/java/

Q: How to integrate Java compilation into the XCode IDE?

1. Create a project of “Mac OS X -> External Build System"

2. Input Product name, company identifier, don’t click “Use Automatic Reference Counting". Enter “ant" into “Build Tool".

3. Create or check your build.xml. This is part of Ant technology, please refer to Ant documents or tutorial online.

4. Copy your source, resource, build.xml into your folder. Remember put the build.xml into the project root path (of you can reference it with folder path later)

5. That’s it. Check with Build Scheme and Build Target in XCode, you will see you can Build (but not Run) with the Target. Use Command-B as hotkey to build.

Q: How to tackle the warning of “warning ‘includeantruntime’ was not set , defaulting to build.sysclasspath=last; set to false for repeatable builds."?

1. Check with your javac in build.xml. Add the attribute “includeantruntime" in the line: e.g. <javac srcdir="src" destdir="bin" includeantruntime="FALSE"/>

That’s it.

Happy XJavaing~

Push Notification – Reflections

2012/02/142016/02/06 ~ me ~ 發表留言

Good reference

http://maniacdev.com/2011/05/tutorial-ios-push-notification-services-for-beginners/

Some notes

1. If get some error like “no valid ‘aps-environment’ entitlement string", remove all Provision Profile, on both Apple’s portal and local, re-create them, and refresh in Organizer. Remember to do all these AFTER THE PUSH HAS BEEN ENABLED.

2. If using Urban Airship for testing purpose, and get any error like “Certificate does not contain the private key": import the key downloaded from Apple’s Portal, and then re-export the same key from your Keychain Access. Save the format as .p12 extension, proved work.
