I'm using the Standard Matchmaking User Interface and two iPads iOS6. The problem is when I create a new match in the first device, the second device supposed to see the existing match when I view the Matchmaking User Interface but it's not. I'm sure my code is correct. here is the method:
-(void)findMatchWithMinPlayers:(int)minPlayers maxPlayers:(int)maxPlayers viewController:(UIViewController*)viewController {
// the view that will present Matchmaker View Controller
self.viewCaller = viewController;
GKMatchRequest *request = [[GKMatchRequest alloc] init];
request.minPlayers = minPlayers;
request.maxPlayers = maxPlayers;
GKTurnBasedMatchmakerViewController *viewMatchmaker = [[GKTurnBasedMatchmakerViewController alloc] initWithMatchRequest:request];
viewMatchmaker.turnBasedMatchmakerDelegate = self;
viewMatchmaker.showExistingMatches = YES;
[self.viewCaller presentViewController:viewMatchmaker animated:YES completion:nil];
}
I even tried on two different sample games but the same problem, so how can I solve this ?
When Gamekit does matchmaker for a turnbase match it is trying to find a match with an open slot to fill the player in. If it cannot find an open slot to fill the player in it then creates a new match.
Try on one device to create a match and go through one turn with that device, that is when you call...
endTurnWithNextParticipants:turnTimeout:matchData:completionHandler:
Then on the other device try looking for a match.

So I have a Universal link that leads to a view controller in my app. On that particular view controller I display a couple of images as well as a web view. The webView displays a url chosen by the user. How do I save this custom url so that it is displayed every time someone clicks the link? I think the code to this is under:
#synthesize deepLinkingCompletionDelegate;
-(void)configureControlWithData:(NSDictionary *)data {
NSString *string = data[#"favoriteArticle"];
Alex from Branch.io here:
To accomplish this, you need to do two things.
Step 1
Store the URL of the article you want to load as one of the Branch link custom parameters. Full instructions on how to do that here, but essentially:
BranchUniversalObject *branchUniversalObject = [[BranchUniversalObject alloc] initWithCanonicalIdentifier:#"item/12345"];
branchUniversalObject.title = #"My Content Title";
branchUniversalObject.contentDescription = #"My Content Description";
branchUniversalObject.imageUrl = #"https://example.com/mycontent-12345.png";
[branchUniversalObject addMetadataKey:#"favorite_article" value:#"https://example.com/path/to/article"]; // this is used to route inside the app
[branchUniversalObject addMetadataKey:#"property2" value:#"red"];
BranchLinkProperties *linkProperties = [[BranchLinkProperties alloc] init];
linkProperties.feature = #"sharing";
linkProperties.channel = #"facebook";
[linkProperties addControlParam:#"$desktop_url" withValue:#"https://example.com/path/to/article"]; // this is used for desktop visitors
[linkProperties addControlParam:#"$ios_url" withValue:#"https://example.com/path/to/article"]; // this is used for iOS mobile visitors without the app installed
Step 2
Then when the app opens after a link click, watch for that data key. Again, full instructions, but basically:
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
// initialize the session, setup a deep link handler
[[Branch getInstance] initSessionWithLaunchOptions:launchOptions
andRegisterDeepLinkHandler:^(NSDictionary *params, NSError *error) {
// start setting up the view controller hierarchy
UINavigationController *navC = (UINavigationController *)self.window.rootViewController;
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"Main" bundle:nil];
UIViewController *nextVC;
// If the key 'favoriteArticle' is present in the deep link dictionary
// then load the picture screen with the appropriate picture
NSString * favoriteArticle = [params objectForKey:#"favorite_article"];
if (favoriteArticle) {
nextVC = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"ArticleVC"];
[nextVC setArticleUrl: favoriteArticle];
} else {
nextVC = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"MainVC"];
}
// navigate!
[navC setViewControllers:#[nextVC] animated:YES];
}];
return YES;
}
After this, in your ArticleVC, retrieve the favoriteArticle value and use it for your webview.
Step 2 (Alternate)
The configureControlWithData method you mentioned is used in the automatic deep link routing implementation. You may be able to adapt this to work with a webview, but I haven't personally tried that. It would look something like this:
#synthesize deepLinkingCompletionDelegate;
- (void)configureControlWithData:(NSDictionary *)data {
NSString *favoriteArticle = data[#"favorite_article"];
// load the webview with the URL stored inside favoriteArticle
}
Whatever address i give to the geocoder ([geocoder geocodeAddressString:completionHandler:), it always puts only one object in the placemarks array.
I there any way to get multiple results (like in Maps app) from which the user can select one?
Apple's native geocoding service is provided by the MapKit framework. The important object in this framework is MKLocalSearch, which can geocode addresses and return multiple results.
MKLocalSearch returns back 10 results in mapItems of type MKMapItem. Each MKMapItem contains a MKPlacemark object, which is a subclass of CLPlacemark.
Here's an example using MapKit's MKLocalSearch:
MKLocalSearchRequest* request = [[MKLocalSearchRequest alloc] init];
request.naturalLanguageQuery = #"Calgary Tower";
request.region = MKCoordinateRegionMakeWithDistance(loc, kSearchMapBoundingBoxDistanceInMetres, kSearchMapBoundingBoxDistanceInMetres);
MKLocalSearch* search = [[MKLocalSearch alloc] initWithRequest:request];
[search startWithCompletionHandler:^(MKLocalSearchResponse *response, NSError *error) {
yourArray = response.mapItems; // array of MKMapItems
// .. do you other logic here
}];
I've done some sniffing on the packets and it seems that CLGeocoder doesn't connect to Google's geocoding service, but to Apple's. I've also noticed that I get only one placemark from there every time.
If you want something more sophisticated you should use Google's or other geocoding. I use SVGeocoder (https://github.com/samvermette/SVGeocoder), which has a very similar API to CLGeocoder.
Trying to use share kit to send a link to twitter,and when the webview comes up to log into twitter, you can tap into the username and password fields, get a cursor, but no keyboard pops up.
This is really starting to frustrate me.
Here's how I'm trying to call Share kit. (from an alert)
- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex{
if (alertView.tag == 21){
if (buttonIndex == 1) {
//call SHK
NSLog(#"Calling SHK");
// Create the item to share (in this example, a url)
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://link.com"];
SHKItem *item = [SHKItem URL:url title:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"I just played a %d by %d board on #GAMENAME and solved it in %d moves!", down, across, turns]];
// Get the ShareKit action sheet
[alertView dismissWithClickedButtonIndex:0 animated:NO];
SHKActionSheet *actionSheet = [SHKActionSheet actionSheetForItem:item];
// Display the action sheet
[actionSheet showInView:self.view];
}
}
It was a problem with UIResponder
UIResponder Troubles
I'm attempting to present a UITabBarController modally using the following code:
// Declare all view controllers.
TabOne *tabOne = [[TabOne alloc] initWithNibName:#"TabOne" bundle:nil];
TabTwo *tabTwo = [[TabTwo alloc] init];
TabThree *tabThree = [[TabThree alloc] init];
// Set each view controller's delegate to self.
tabOne.delegate = self;
tabTwo.delegate = self;
tabThree.delegate = self;
// Set a title for each view controller.
tabOne.title = #"One";
tabTwo.title = #"Two";
tabThree.title = #"Three";
// Create a tab bar controller.
UITabBarController *tabBarController = [[UITabBarController alloc] init];
[tabBarController setViewControllers:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:tabOne,tabTwo,tabThree, nil]];
// Present the tab bar controller modally.
[self presentModalViewController:tabBarController animated:NO];
// Memory management.
[tabOne release];
[tabTwo release];
[tabThree release];
This all works as expected except that I get the following warnings in the console:
Using two-stage rotation animation. To use the smoother single-stage animation, this application must remove two-stage method implementations.
Using two-stage rotation animation is not supported when rotating more than one view controller or view controllers not the window delegate.
I've done some research on this and have checked that shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation is implemented as follows:
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
// Return YES for supported orientations
return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait);
}
As far as I can tell, the problem is that the tab bar controller is not the root view controller, but I'm presenting this modal view some way into a deep view hierarchy. It's called from another modal view, which itself is called from a tab bar set in the application delegate.
I know this is a bit of an old chestnut, but it's got me stumped. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
I've had a similar problem.
UITabBarController has some odd behavior with its orientation handling. When setting its orientation, it calls recursively into self.selectedViewController to decide whether to use one-stage or two-stage animation. That seems sensible, but the trouble is self.selectedViewController is initially nil (in particular, if you're displaying the UITabBarController modally for the first time), and that can confuse the controller. Depending on the iOS version, a nil selectedViewController will lead the UITabBarController to believe that one-stage animation is unsupported.
Try this: when you first load / initialize your UITabBarController, add the line
tabBarController.selectedIndex = 0;
I was getting this warning (including serious visual problems: the view controller was switching orientation but the status bar was not), and setting the index this way fixed the problem. The UITabBarController successfully called into its selected view controller, and detected the one-stage animation.
I'm rather new to iOS development and for my first real app I'm using a TapDetectingWindow to detect touches on a UIWebView (exactly as detailed on http://mithin.in/2009/08/26/detecting-taps-and-events-on-uiwebview-the-right-way).
I used it in one View Controller as suggested with a reference in the header file and the following in the implementation file;
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
mWindow = (TapDetectingWindow *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication].windows objectAtIndex:0];
mWindow.viewToObserve = igWeb;
mWindow.controllerThatObserves = self;
- (void)userDidTapWebView:(NSArray *)tapPoint {
}
It worked perfectly.
Now the problem is that I would like to use the TapDetectingWindow in a second View Controller.
I copied the same code from the first view controller (only changing the name of the viewToObserve).
Now, when I run the app. The Tap Detecting window works fine in the first ViewController, then works fine when you go to the second View Controller but when you go back to the first view controller its broken until the view gets loaded again.
Please help.
try something like
-(void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
mWindow.viewToObserve = igWeb;
mWindow.controllerThatObserves = self;
[super viewWillAppear:animated];
}
