Hello
Could anyone help me update this snippent to iOS 4.2:
-(void) whatever{
NSData *htmlData = [[NSString stringWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString: #"http://www.objectgraph.com/contact.html"]] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
TFHpple *xpathParser = [[TFHpple alloc] initWithHTMLData:htmlData];
NSArray *elements = [xpathParser search:#"//h3"]; // get the page title - this is xpath notation
TFHppleElement *element = [elements objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *myTitle = [element content];
NSLog(myTitle);
[xpathParser release];
[htmlData release];}
The only part that needs updating is below, you can effectivly forget the rest:
NSData *htmlData = [[NSString stringWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString: #"http://www.objectgraph.com/contact.html"]] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
"stringWithContentsOfURL" has been deprechiated so what would be the updated version?
Thanks
You should use
+ (id)stringWithContentsOfURL:(NSURL *)url encoding:(NSStringEncoding)enc error:(NSError **)error
And use it like that. Replace
NSData *htmlData = [[NSString stringWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString: #"http://www.objectgraph.com/contact.html"]] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
by
NSData *htmlData = [[NSString stringWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString: #"http://www.objectgraph.com/contact.html"]] encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:nil];

I have a small core data base "Guests" and I am trying to get the results from a fetch request template called FetchRequestA, I made a button to trigger in the console the results from the request but I keep on getting a null answer, the request is set to display all guestlastnames that contain a d ? here is the code that i am using :
- (IBAction)fetchA:(id)sender {
NSFetchRequest *request2 = [[[self managedObjectModel] fetchRequestTemplateForName:#"FetchRequestA"] copy];
NSSortDescriptor *sort = [[NSSortDescriptor alloc]initWithKey:#"guestlastname" ascending:YES];
[request2 setSortDescriptors:[NSArray arrayWithObject:sort]];
NSArray *sortDescriptors = [[NSArray alloc]initWithObjects:sort, nil];
[request2 setSortDescriptors:sortDescriptors];
NSError *error = nil;
NSArray *fetchedObjects = [[self managedObjectContext] executeFetchRequest:request2 error:&error];
if (fetchedObjects == nil) {
NSLog(#"problem %#", error);
}
for (Guests *guestlastname in fetchedObjects) {
NSLog(#"Fetched Object = %#", guestlastname.guestlastname);
}
}
Am I missing a method ? have perused around but to no avail, thanks in advance.
Here is solution :
(IBAction)gettemplatebutton:(id)sender {
AppDelegate *appDelegate = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
NSManagedObjectContext *context = [appDelegate managedObjectContext];
NSManagedObjectModel* model = [[context persistentStoreCoordinator] managedObjectModel];
NSDictionary* dict = [[NSDictionary alloc]initWithObjectsAndKeys: self.fetchedObjects, #"guestlastname",nil];
NSFetchRequest* request2 = [model fetchRequestFromTemplateWithName:#"FetchRequestA" substitutionVariables: dict];
NSError* error = nil;
NSArray *Guests2 = [context executeFetchRequest:request2 error:&error];
NSString *g3 = #"";
for(NSManagedObject *guestlastname in Guests2)
{
g3 = [g3 stringByAppendingString:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#\n", [guestlastname valueForKey:#"guestlastname"]]];
}
self.displaytemplateLabel.text = g3;
[_displaytemplateLabel setNumberOfLines:0];
for (NSManagedObject *guestlastname in Guests2)
{
{
NSLog(#"%#", [guestlastname valueForKey:#"guestlastname"]);
}
}
}
and added #property (nonatomic, retain) NSArray *fetchedObjects; in header file.
I'm trying to copy an item from the iPod Library to my local storage space - for later playback. I've got the item URl but it's (ipod-library://item/item.mp3?id=2398084975506389321) any idea how to access the actual file?
Thanks,
Rick
This will work https://gist.github.com/3304992
-(void)mediaPicker:(MPMediaPickerController *)mediaPicker didPickMediaItems:(MPMediaItemCollection *)mediaItemCollection{
NSString *tempPath = NSTemporaryDirectory();
int i=1;
for (MPMediaItem *theItem in mediaItemCollection.items) {
NSURL *url = [theItem valueForProperty:MPMediaItemPropertyAssetURL];
AVURLAsset *songAsset = [AVURLAsset URLAssetWithURL:url options:nil];
AVAssetExportSession *exporter = [[AVAssetExportSession alloc] initWithAsset: songAsset presetName: AVAssetExportPresetPassthrough];
exporter.outputFileType = #"com.apple.coreaudio-format";
NSString *fname = [[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d",i] stringByAppendingString:#".caf"];
++i;
NSString *exportFile = [tempPath stringByAppendingPathComponent: fname];
exporter.outputURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:exportFile];
[exporter exportAsynchronouslyWithCompletionHandler:^{
//Code for completion Handler
}];
}
[picker dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:Nil];
}
use MPMediaPickerController to pick the media
This is how I'm doing it in Objective-C:
#import <CoreMedia/CoreMedia.h>
#import <AVFoundation/AVFoundation.h>
#import <CoreAudio/CoreAudio.h>
// or [NSURL URLWithString:#"ipod-library://item/item.mp3?id=2398084975506389321"]
NSURL *assetURL = [item valueForProperty:MPMediaItemPropertyAssetURL];
NSMutableData *data = [[NSMutableData alloc] init];
const uint32_t sampleRate = 16000;
const uint16_t bitDepth = 16;
const uint16_t channels = 2;
NSDictionary *opts = [NSDictionary dictionary];
AVURLAsset *asset = [[AVURLAsset alloc] initWithURL:assetURL options:opts];
AVAssetReader *reader = [[AVAssetReader alloc] initWithAsset:asset error:NULL];
NSDictionary *settings = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
[NSNumber numberWithInt:kAudioFormatLinearPCM], AVFormatIDKey,
[NSNumber numberWithFloat:(float)sampleRate], AVSampleRateKey,
[NSNumber numberWithInt:bitDepth], AVLinearPCMBitDepthKey,
[NSNumber numberWithBool:NO], AVLinearPCMIsNonInterleaved,
[NSNumber numberWithBool:NO], AVLinearPCMIsFloatKey,
[NSNumber numberWithBool:NO], AVLinearPCMIsBigEndianKey,
nil];
AVAssetReaderTrackOutput *output = [[AVAssetReaderTrackOutput alloc] initWithTrack:[[asset tracks] objectAtIndex:0] outputSettings:settings];
[asset release];
[reader addOutput:output];
[reader startReading];
// read the samples from the asset and append them subsequently
while ([reader status] != AVAssetReaderStatusCompleted) {
CMSampleBufferRef buffer = [output copyNextSampleBuffer];
if (buffer == NULL) continue;
CMBlockBufferRef blockBuffer = CMSampleBufferGetDataBuffer(buffer);
size_t size = CMBlockBufferGetDataLength(blockBuffer);
uint8_t *outBytes = malloc(size);
CMBlockBufferCopyDataBytes(blockBuffer, 0, size, outBytes);
CMSampleBufferInvalidate(buffer);
CFRelease(buffer);
[data appendBytes:outBytes length:size];
free(outBytes);
}
[output release];
Here data will contain the raw PCM data of the track. Please note that you cannot directly access the file of a song or video, only its data through this method. You can compress it using e. g. FLAC (that's how I'm processing it in my tweak).
Since MonoTouch has an 1:1 mapping to Objective-C class and method names, this should be fairly easy to copy over. :)
I have been trying to add an object as an NSMutableDictionary to my array, which I am accessing from another view, and It doesn't seem to work. I want to be able to store the data in a plist which I access from a NSDictionary.
-(void)saveAlarm:(id)sender {
// Adding object for alarm to AlarmViewController
alarmArrayCopy = alarmViewController.alarmsTime;
NSMutableDictionary *newAlarm = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
[newAlarm setValue:labelTextField.text forKey:LABEL_KEY];
[newAlarm setValue:alarmPicker.date forKey:TIME_KEY];
[alarmArrayCopy addObject:(newAlarm)];
// Dismissing and tiding up.
[self.navigationController dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
[newAlarm release];
}
UPDATE: How do I add an NSDictionary to my plist database (my db is an array)?
Here is some new code, I updated the NSMutableDictionary to NSDictionary because in my plist you can only have normal dictionaries not a mutable one. But now it crashed and gives me a Thread 1:Program received signal: "SIGABRT".
NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath];
NSString *finalPath = [path stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"data.plist"];
// Adding object for alarm to AlarmViewController
NSDictionary *newAlarm = [[NSDictionary alloc] init];
[newAlarm setValue:labelTextField.text forKey:LABEL_KEY];
[newAlarm setValue:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#", alarmPicker.date] forKey:TIME_KEY];
[newAlarm writeToFile:finalPath atomically:NO];
or
-(IBAction)saveAlarm:(id)sender {
// Adding object for alarm to AlarmViewController
NSString *time = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#", alarmPicker.date];
NSString *label = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",labelTextField.text];
NSDictionary *newAlarm = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithObjectsAndKeys:label, LABEL_KEY,time, TIME_KEY, nil];
self.alarmArrayCopy = alarmViewController.alarmsTime;
[alarmArrayCopy addObject:(newAlarm)];
// Dismissing and tiding up.
[newAlarm release];
[self.navigationController dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
First, you should use setObject:forKey: method for adding objects to NSMutableDictionary. Second, you should use initWithObjectsAndKeys: method if you are using NSDictionary.
The setValue:forKey is a method of the Key Value Coding protocol. That was described at here “
Where's the difference between setObject:forKey: and setValue:forKey: in NSMutableDictionary?
”
So, you should do that,
NSDictionary *newAlarm = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithObjectsAndKeys:
labelTextField.text, LABEL_KEY,
alarmPicker.date, TIME_KEY, nil];
[newAlarm setValue:alarmPicker.date forKey:TIME_KEY];
I am not quite sure, but I guess your error is because you can't send an instance of NSDate object to setValue:forKey method. You may use either setObject:forKey or change NSDate to NSString by [NSString stringWithFormat:"%#", alarmPicker.date].
Hope that helps.
how to store file contents to iphone's internal memory using xcode ?
I want to store XML file to iPhone's internal memory.
You can read hold the xml data in NSData and store the file in private folder ( avaible only for application )
below is code for saving file
NSAutoreleasePool* pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSMutableString* str = [[NSMutableString alloc] initWithCapacity:300];
[str appendString:documentsDirectory];
[str appendString:#"/"];
[str appendString:aName];
NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
[/*NSData*/ writeToFile:str atomically:YES];
if(str)
{
[str release];
str = nil;
}
if(fileManager)
{
[fileManager release];
fileManager = nil;
}
[pool release];
My code sucessfully catalogs song names and ID's for my the entire music library. However, it will not actually play a song using this methodology and the console displays the following:
Message playbackState timed out.
Message nowPlayingItem timed out.
self.musicPlayer = [MPMusicPlayerController applicationMusicPlayer];
MPMediaQuery *everything = [[MPMediaQuery alloc] init];
NSArray *itemsFromGenericQuery = [everything items];
SongName = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
SongItem = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
NSString *songTitle;
NSString *songID;
//Collect names & ID for entire music library & put into arrays
for (MPMediaItem *song in itemsFromGenericQuery) {
songTitle = [song valueForProperty: MPMediaItemPropertyTitle];
[SongName addObject:songTitle];
songID = [song valueForProperty: MPMediaItemPropertyPersistentID];
[SongItem addObject:songID];
}
NSLog (#"%#", [SongName objectAtIndex:1]);
NSLog (#"%#", [SongItem objectAtIndex:1]);
// Play the second song in the list
MPMediaItemCollection *collection = [MPMediaItemCollection collectionWithItems:[NSArray arrayWithObject:[SongItem objectAtIndex:1]]];
[self.musicPlayer setQueueWithItemCollection:collection];
[self.musicPlayer play];
Once again, I'll answer my own question. The issue was that collectionWithItems: expects an array of MPMediaItems, not an array of MPMediaItemPropertyPersistentIDs. Here is the working code for anyone who may have the same problem:
MPMediaQuery *everything = [[MPMediaQuery alloc] init];
NSArray *itemsFromGenericQuery = [everything items];
SongItem = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
for (MPMediaItem *song in itemsFromGenericQuery) {
NSString *songTitle = [song valueForProperty: MPMediaItemPropertyTitle];
//NSLog (#”%#”, songTitle);
songID = [song valueForProperty: MPMediaItemPropertyPersistentID];
//NSLog (#”%#”, songID);
[SongItem addObject:songID];
}
//Choose the first indexed song
NSString *selectedTitle = [SongItem objectAtIndex:0];
//Use the MPMediaItemPropertyPersistentID to play the song
MPMediaPropertyPredicate *predicate = [MPMediaPropertyPredicate predicateWithValue:selectedTitle forProperty:MPMediaItemPropertyPersistentID];
MPMediaQuery *mySongQuery = [[MPMediaQuery alloc] init];
[mySongQuery addFilterPredicate: predicate];
[musicPlayer setQueueWithQuery:mySongQuery];
[musicPlayer play];
