I would like to call objective-c code to add a subview to the keyWindow hierarchy (in front of cocos2d-x view) and after some condition is true remove it(object removeSuperview) from either cocos2d-x update method or some runAction callback method. What is the best thread-safe way to do this? Is it ok just calling a function that will modify Apple's View hierarchy from cocos2d-x update thread? I am already aware that if you want to do the opposite (call from objective a cocos ui operation) you need to use performFunctionInCocosThread and i was wondering if something similar exists from cocos update loop to objective.

I want to detect the scroll of tableview in my class. I used decelerationEnded method of UITableViewDelegate but it got crashed.
Ideally you should be using a UITableViewSource assigned to your UITableView.Source property. You no longer require a delegate class, you can override all of the necessary methods within the source, which is the currently preferred method of achieving the result your after. You are most likely looking to override the method called 'Scrolled' within the UITableViewSource. However I would suggest making use of 'DecelerationEnded' as well if you're trying to do something depending on if your scroll view is at the 'bottom' or 'top' of the UITableViews content (That's just a little tip based off of some experience with this in a recent project.)
I have implemented a TabBarController much like the Conference tutorial for iOS. Everything is working well now except it appears that the Init methods on Viewmodels for the tabs never get called as it normally would.
Is there something I forgot to do to ensure that Init is called? If I must, I could move this code to the constructor of the ViewModel, but I'd like to avoid this if possible.
EDIT
I guess what I'm really asking here is if I manually instantiate a viewmodel and "create" a view from it via the extension/helper methods, will init get called at some point in the process? If so, at what point can I expect init to get called on the viewmodel?
The Construction-Initialize-ReloadState-Start (C-I-R-S) sequence is called on an MvxViewModel if it is created using the default ViewModel locator - which is what happens when you call ShowViewModel.
If the ViewModels for the sub-tabs are created by calling new on a ViewModel directly - like in the Conference HomeViewModel.cs#L11 - then obviously this same sequence doesn't happen.
Really the difference here is between:
the tab ViewModels which are just INotifyPropertyChanged objects
the page-level MvxViewModels which are also INotifyPropertyChanged objects, but which you further expect to be initialized within navigations.
If you wanted to unify the two concepts then you probably could... but actually I suspect it might be simpler and cleaner to perhaps give the two class types different names, to just put the init code in the constuctor for the tab view models, or perhaps to just call Init on them yourself in the Home constructor.
I'm using this plugin:

To have MapViewActivity inside ABS.
My probleme is I want to detect the onTap event on the map, not on the overlay and the onTap method doens't seems to be present in the SherlockMapActivity.class
How to do it ?
Thanks.
SherlockMapActivity is just an extension of MapActivity that add the capabilities of ActionBarSherlock to the MapActivity. However, it doesn't add an onTap method and MapActivity doesn't provide one either.
I guess what you are trying to detect a tap on the MapView. Several methods exists in order to do so. One of my favorite is to add a custom Overlay that does nothing but detects the tap. This Overlay has to be added at the first overlay in the getOverlays()'s Listin order to have its onTap method called after all other Overlays
Using the Reflection API to auto generate a UI.
How can I dismiss the keyboard when the user selects a new field, or if they choose a field which generates a new view to pick from. In the later case, when the user returns to the first screen, the old keyboard is still there.
UIView.EndEditing(bool force);
The above will hide the keyboard for you without needing to know who the first responder is. I haven't done much with the reflection API but you should be able to call that on the view when an element is selected.
Apple Docs -- endEditing:
Clarification for those initially struggling with the MonoDialog portion of the question:
The EndEditing method is not available on DialogViewControllers objects directly (who inherit from UITableViewControllers). You should be calling EndEditing(bool) on the View of a DialogViewController and not trying to call EndEditing(bool) on the actual DialogViewController itself.
For clarification:
DialogViewController dc;
dc.View.EndEditing(true);
Note:
UIView objects include the EndEditing(bool) method, but UITableViewControllers do not inherit from UIView so the EndEditing method is not available on the controller itself. UITableViewControllers contain a view object, call EndEditing on that view object.
Check the ResignFirstResponder method. This one should help you I guess.
I'm creating an IPad application using C#, Mono develop and Monotouch.
I've been using Monotouch.Dialog to create functionality similar to the wifi-settings on an iPhone. I'm using StyledStringElement with an accessory and am now trying to differentiate between tapping the row and tapping the DetailDisclosureButton.
I've been found out that I should override the UITableViewDelegate.AccessoryButtonTapped on the UITableView. I've tried to created a derived class from UITableViewDelegate and hook this into the Monotouch.Dialog. But this is where I got stuck. I didn't manage to replace the existing UITableViewDelegate with my extended version.
So my questions are:
Is this the preferred way of handling this event (to be able to differentiate between a tap on the element and a tap on the DetailDisclosureButton) ?
If not, any pointer on how to accomplish this ?
I have been searching the web for a (similar) example but have not found any yet. Any examples that you know of that could get me started ?
Thanks,
boris
event EventHandler accessoryPushed;
public override void AccessoryButtonTapped (UITableView tableView, NSIndexPath indexPath)
{
if(!accessoryPushed)
{
accessoryPushed(this,EventArgs.Empty);
}
}
You will need to add this to the DailogViewController code that you are using (this will override the tapping action). Instead of a simple function, you may want an event to be triggered, so just handle the event in your main code. That is probably your best bet.
Once you change this line, you will have to implement new functions like AccessorySelected (just mimic the path the code follows when a row is selected except with accessory).
On the other hand, you could try a different navigation method, often disclosure buttons are annoying and you don't want to click on them except to get simple information about the button (like a help feature).
I haven't found any other examples, sorry!
