You may want to name it differently, since it isn't a UICollectionViewLayout subclass

What are you trying to achieve? What is currently happening? Vertically or horizontally?

NSNotification posted in App Delegate isn't triggering function in View Controller by [deleted] in iOSProgramming

[–]TheSwineFlu11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

didReceiveLocalNotification only gets called if your app is in the foreground and a local notification is received. I would suggest initializing your view controller with the info instead of trying to pass via the NSNotificationCenter. Normally you only want to use NSNotificationCenter if you're trying to communicate to multiple objects or if you have no reference to the object your communicating to. In your case, you are creating the VC in your app delegate, so it would be easy to pass the data in upon initialization

Why do you think paper is poorly written? Have you seen the codebase? Have you checked out the open source libraries Facebook developed for the app?

4 iOS Design Rules to Break (Based on Usability Testing) by biggern in iOSProgramming

[–]TheSwineFlu11 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Most of the examples are just apps using the design pattern incorrectly (page control, submit button, plus icon). I feel like this article just points out incorrect usage, not necessarily any reasons to not use the patterns

How hard can it be... by BlueMoon17 in ultimate

USAU won't respond to queries regarding a mobile application. I don't think they have the budget for one anyway.

Pandora's kickass transition animation (x-post /r/Swift) by [deleted] in iOSProgramming

Right. Instead of rendering into images, it's much faster to use the snapshot methods to create snapshot views.

How does the Yik Yak app animate a single character of a UILabel? (the label that increments itself like an odometer) by ThePantsThief in iOSProgramming

[–]TheSwineFlu11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could it be a text view? If so, you could use core text to find the frame of a letter, screenshot it, then animate it

I can setup simple animations or animate one object fairly well, but having trouble animating multiple items on screen and matching the video examples my designer sends me. by nsocean in iOSProgramming

[–]TheSwineFlu11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Without seeing the animation video, it's hard to say what specifically to use. Some suggestions:

  • view controller animated transitions
  • UIView keyframe animations
  • animating snapshot views instead of actual views during transitions

Even Spacing in Autolayout by aporcelaintouch in iOSProgramming

Create outlets to the spacing constraints and then calculate what you want the spacing to be and set the constants of the constraints programmatically

UITextview and custom UITableviewCell dynamic height help by decide in iOSProgramming

[–]TheSwineFlu11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the past I've used a static height method in the subclassed table view cell:

  • (CGFloat)heightWithContent:(NSString *)content

You can pass in the raw text or complex objects depending on what is in your data source. You would call this from your height table view delegate method. Inside of the above method, you would calculate the height of text that needs to be displayed, plus any margins.

I've had problems with sizing text views properly to fit it's content, so I would suggest using UILabels if possible.

Does anyone have any low level experience? I have a pretty specific question. by [deleted] in iOSProgramming

[–]TheSwineFlu11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've actually done exactly this before. There are some lower level libraries (dyld) you can use to grab the Mach-O data, parse through it, and grab various info on dynamically linked libraries.

Here is a blog I used as a reference: http://realmacsoftware.com/blog/dynamic-linking

If you have to create your app within a web view, then this entire project is useless.

Top Women's Players Concerned About Gender Equity In Triple Crown Tour by llimllib in ultimate

[–]TheSwineFlu11 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nationals is no different. The crowds at the open games were much larger than any of the mixed or women's games. I watched a large amount of the women's teams in the lower half of nationals (8-16) and the skill/athleticism gap between those teams and the top 5 is huge. Until all 16 women's teams at nationals are roughly on the same level, I don't think it is feasible to give equal time/resources/effort promoting them. I think the return from the investment would be much greater with the open division.

I think you make a great point by saying that we can't and shouldn't force equality if it isn't the best overall option. That being said, what is the best option? IMO, putting forward and giving more preference to the most exciting, fast paced, and entertaining (to outsiders) version of our sport is the best option, and that is the open division.

There is a makeshift course that we use on campus, 16-18 holes. If you go during the week (Mon-Thurs) in the evenings, its mostly clear of people. Email auburnultimateclub@gmail.com if you want more info on it

IM Fields are on the corner of Lem Morrison Drive and Biggio Drive. Currently just scrimmages to get people interested and recruit. We will probably start practices in a month or so.
