I have several CoreDataTableViewControllers that utilize the helper class from Paul Hegarty's course. Everyone of them works except this one, and I cannot see a difference.
When the table first comes up, it is correctly populated and the segue executes properly when a cell is selected. However when I hit the back button, the table displays (null), (null) everywhere.
I have tried every variant of calling [self useDocument] that I can think of, still to no avail. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Well, I am not certain what the problem was. I ended up deleting the "offending" TableViewControllers in StoryBoard and recreated them. That did the trick. In retrospect, I wonder if I did not specify the wrong type of segue from my tabViewController. But I deleted it before I thought of that possibility.
I have a MainController and detailedcontroller. When I popover the Book selection and select a Book, the detailcontroller display an UIWebView with the book articles :
#interface IpadBooksViewController : UITableViewController {
SearchResult *searchResult;
IpadArticleViewController *detailController;
IpadMainViewController *mainController;
UIPopoverController *popover;
}
Into the UIWebView, I display an Email icon and catch the scheme :
- (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView *)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType{
NSURL *url = [request URL];
NSString *scheme = [url scheme];
NSString *host = [url host];
if ([[url description] hasSuffix:#"next"]) {
NSLog(#"next Show");
}
BOOL isShareLinks = [host isEqualToString:#"displayShareLinks"];
BOOL isFavoriteLinks = [host isEqualToString:#"displayFavoriteLinks"];
if ([#"myappurl" isEqualToString:scheme] && (isShareLinks || isFavoriteLinks)) {
self.selectedArticleNumber = [url.path lastPathComponent];
if (isShareLinks) {
[self sendMailArticleNumber:selectedArticleNumber];
} else if (isFavoriteLinks) {
NSLog(#"ipad favorite clicked");
[self toggleFavorite:selectedArticleNumber];
Broker *broker = [[Broker alloc] init];
[broker loadProjects:self];
[broker release];
}
}
return [super webView:webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:request navigationType:navigationType];
}
Action is supposed to display the MFMailController under my UIWebView, but nothing is displayed without error message :
- (void) sendMailArticleNumber:(NSString *)articleNumber {
MFMailComposeViewController* composer = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
composer.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[composer setSubject:#"Article"];
NSString *messageBody = [Article fetchBody:articleNumber bookId:bookId];
[composer setMessageBody:messageBody isHTML:YES];
[self presentModalViewController:composer animated:YES];
[composer release];
}
Any help will be welcomed. I did try creating a popover, addView atIndex without success ... Let me know if you need more code.
David
I did solve the issue by loading the controller into the delegate as following :
[((PublilexAppDelegate*)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate]) sendMailArticleNumber:selectedArticleNumber bookId:self.bookId];
And then into the Delegate :
- (void) sendMailArticleNumber:(NSString *)articleNumber bookId:(NSString*)bookId {
MFMailComposeViewController* composer = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
composer.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[composer setSubject:#"Article"];
NSString *messageBody = [Article fetchBody:articleNumber bookId:bookId];
[composer setMessageBody:messageBody isHTML:YES];
[self->navigationController presentModalViewController:composer animated:YES];
[composer release];
}
And to dismiss and comeback to the previous view :
-(void)mailComposeController:(MFMailComposeViewController*)controller didFinishWithResult:(MFMailComposeResult)result error:(NSError*)error {
[self->navigationController dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
// [self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
// [((PublilexAppDelegate*)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate]) navigateToIpadMain];
}
i have a custom alertvew, when a button is pressed inside the uiwebview calls javascript:
function doSomething(event) {
alert("simple test");
return false;
}
i'd like that "alert" open my custom uialert.
is it possible?
thanks
found that code that works for me:
#interface UIWebView (JavaScriptAlert)
- (void)webView:(UIWebView *)sender runJavaScriptAlertPanelWithMessage:(NSString *)message initiatedByFrame:(WebFrame *)frame;
#end
#implementation UIWebView (JavaScriptAlert)
- (void)webView:(UIWebView *)sender runJavaScriptAlertPanelWithMessage:(NSString *)message initiatedByFrame:(WebFrame *)frame {
UIAlertView* dialogue = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:nil message:message delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:#"Okay" otherButtonTitles:nil];
UIImage *theImage = [UIImage imageNamed:#"MdC_Base_PopUp.png"];
theImage = [theImage stretchableImageWithLeftCapWidth:16 topCapHeight:16];
CGSize theSize = [dialogue frame].size;
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(theSize);
[theImage drawInRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, dialogue.frame.size.width, dialogue.frame.size.height)];
theImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
dialogue.layer.contents = (id)[theImage CGImage];
[dialogue show];
[dialogue autorelease];
}

Ok guys. This one is driving me up the wall. I have
UIManagedDocument and its 2 MOContexts (regular and parent.)
A UITableViewController (subclassed to CoreDataTableViewController by Paul Hegarty) that runs off of an
NSFetchedResultsController
A background GCD Queue for syncing with the server that the parent cue accesses
I've tried this so many different ways and I run into problems each time.
When I add a new "animal" entity, it is no problem and immediately shows up on the table. But when I upload it to the server (on the upload queue) and changed its "status" (with the parent context) so that it should be in the uploaded section, it appears there but doesn't disappear from the un-uploaded section.
I END UP WITH TWINS I DIDN'T WANT! or it doesn't even make the correct one sometimes and just keeps the wrong one.
***BUT, the extra one will disappear when the app is shut down and reloaded. So it's just in memory somewhere. I can verify in the store that everything is correct. But the NSFetchedResultsController isn't firing the controllerDidChange... stuff.
Here is the superclass of my view controller

Way too much code for anyone to want to wade through.
However, from a quick inspection, it looks like you are violating the MOC constraints. Specifically, you are accessing the parent context directly, and not from its own thread, either.
Typically, you would start a new thread, then create a MOC in that thread, make its parent be the MOC of the document. then do your stuff, and call save on the new MOC. It will then notify the parent, which should handle the updating.
Hi when I am compiling my code i am getting this error-"accessing unknown 'flipDelegate' component of a property"
this is the code from where i am getting error-

#end
Both mainViewController and flipSideViewController should have flipDelegate as instance variable and make sure you add #synthesize and #property
