iPhone – Add the Return Key for UIKeyboardTypeNumberPad

But that only works in iOS SDK <= 3.2M. After i upgrade it to 4.0, that feature was broken.

It is found that the we have add the observer to the UIKeyboardDidShowNotification instead of UIKeyboardWillShowNotification. Moreover, the view prefix is changed from <UIKeyboard to <UIPeripheralHostView. Here comes the code. Continue reading iPhone – Add the Return Key for UIKeyboardTypeNumberPad in iPhone SDK 4 →

Objective-C – Rounding float numbers

2 Comments

In Objective-C, you can use the ceil(), floor() and lroundf() functions to round a float number.

// ceil()
NSLog(@&quot;ceil(1.4f)   : %f&quot;, ceil(1.4f));
NSLog(@&quot;ceil(1.5f)   : %f&quot;, ceil(1.5f));

// floor()
NSLog(@&quot;floor(1.5f)  : %f&quot;, floor(1.5f));
NSLog(@&quot;floor(1.5f)  : %f&quot;, floor(1.5f));

// lroundf()
NSLog(@&quot;lroundf(1.4f): %d&quot;, lroundf(1.4f));
NSLog(@&quot;lroundf(1.5f): %d&quot;, lroundf(1.5f));

NSDictionary is a useful object to store key-pair values just like HashMap in Java.

You can create and iterate a NSDictionary as follow

// Create a NSDictionary
NSArray *keys = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"key1", @"key2", @"key3", nil];
NSArray *objs = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"obj1", @"obj2", @"obj3", nil];
NSDictionary *dict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjects:objs forKeys:keys];
	
// Iterate it
for (id key in dict) {
	NSLog(@"key: %@   value:%@", key, [dict objectForKey:key]);
}

In UILabel, there is an adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth property which will automatically adjust the text font size to fit the UILabel width.

UILabel *aLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, 320.0, 20.0)];
aLabel.adjustsFontSizetoWidth = YES; // This is a must
aLabel.minimumFontSize = 8.0f; 
aLabel.numberOfLines = 1; // This is a must too =.=

But this only work for numberOfLines = 1… Continue reading iPhone – Wrap Text in UILabel →
