I'm trying to modify this code. It's a logging script that shows keypresses.
Currently the log only shows the ABCs, numbers, and a combination of modifier+(key). Is it possible to show every keypress like "command", "option", "F1" and so on?
I don't know Objective-C and I'm blindly trying to change this code for a project of mine. Any help will take me a step further in this project and is much appreciated.
The repo:
https://github.com/chbrown/osx-tap
My version that shows the actual keys names:
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#include <ApplicationServices/ApplicationServices.h>
#import "key-tap.h"
#implementation LoggerConfig
#synthesize output;
#synthesize epoch;
#end
/* CGEventTapCallBack function signature:
proxy
A proxy for the event tap. See CGEventTapProxy. This callback function may pass this proxy to other functions such as the event-posting routines.
type
The event type of this event. See “Event Types.”
event
The incoming event. This event is owned by the caller, and you do not need to release it.
refcon
A pointer to user-defined data. You specify this pointer when you create the event tap. Several different event taps could use the same callback function, each tap with its own user-defined data.

I am able to get the version of OSX by using the code given below however what I want is the name of operating system (using Objective C).
Thanks in advance!!!
NSOperatingSystemVersion version = [[NSProcessInfo processInfo] operatingSystemVersion];
NSString* major = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d", version.majorVersion];
NSString* minor = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d", version.minorVersion];
NSString* patch = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d", version.patchVersion];
There is no API that I know of that would produce the product name of the current OS version. Even grepping for the product name in system locations yields surprisingly few results, and most of those in private frameworks. The only promising non-private match I found is in the Setup Assistant.app, and requires a horrible kludge to extract from a longer string:
NSDictionary *dict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:#"/System/Library/CoreServices/Setup Assistant.app/Contents/Resources/en.lproj/Localizable.strings"];
NSString *productName = [dict objectForKey:#"INSTALLATION_COMPLETE"];
if (productName) {
NSRange r = [productName rangeOfString:#" has been"];
if (r.location != NSNotFound) {
productName = [productName substringToIndex:r.location];
} else {
productName = nil;
}
}
This happens to work for Yosemite and El Capitan, and produces "OS X Yosemite" and "OS X El Capitan". But even with these two versions the kludgey nature reveals itself; the El Capitan string contains non-breakable spaces…
Apart from this (or a similar kludge using other files not meant to be used this way), one can of course obtain the numeric version and match it against a list of known product names, which would be my recommended solution, perhaps with the above kludge as a fallback.
Silly, but this should work.
public extension ProcessInfo {
func osName() -> String? {
let version = self.operatingSystemVersion
switch version.minorVersion {
case 15: return "Catalina"
case 14: return "Mojave"
case 13: return "High Sierra"
case 12: return "Sierra"
case 11: return "El Capitan"
case 10: return "Yosemite"
case 9: return "Mavericks"
case 8: return "Mountain Lion"
case 7: return "Lion"
case 6: return "Snow Leopard"
case 5: return "Leopard"
case 4: return "Tiger"
case 3: return "Panther"
case 2: return "Jaguar"
case 1: return "Puma"
case 0: return "Kodiak"
default: return nil
}
}
for the sake of one more option to figure out the OSX Name i am providing a work-around below:
// this function will return os name
-(NSString *)getOSName{
// get major version
NSString* majorVersion = [self getMajorVersion];
// get minor version
NSString* minorVersion= [self getMinorVersion];
NSString* OSName = #"";
// figure out the name using versions
if([minorVersion isEqualTo:#"11"])
{
OSName = #"El Capitan";
}
else if([minorVersion isEqualTo:#"10"])
{
OSName = #"Yosemite";
}
else if([minorVersion isEqualTo:#"9"])
{
OSName = #"Mavericks";
}
else if([minorVersion isEqualTo:#"8"])
{
OSName = #"Mountain Lion";
}
else if([minorVersion isEqualTo:#"7"])
{
OSName = #"Lion";
}
else if([minorVersion isEqualTo:#"6"])
{
OSName = #"Snow Leopard";
}
else if([minorVersion isEqualTo:#"5"])
{
OSName = #"Leopard";
}
else if([minorVersion isEqualTo:#"4"])
{
OSName = #"Tiger";
}
else if([minorVersion isEqualTo:#"3"])
{
OSName = #"Panther";
}
else if([minorVersion isEqualTo:#"2"])
{
OSName = #"Jaguar";
}
else if([minorVersion isEqualTo:#"1"])
{
OSName = #"Puma";
}
else if([minorVersion isEqualTo:#"0"])
{
OSName = #"Kodiak";
}
return OSName;
}
-(NSString*)getMajorVersion{
NSOperatingSystemVersion version = [[NSProcessInfo processInfo] operatingSystemVersion];
NSString* ver = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d", version.majorVersion];
return ver;
}
-(NSString*)getMinorVersion{
NSOperatingSystemVersion version = [[NSProcessInfo processInfo] operatingSystemVersion];
NSString* ver = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d", version.minorVersion];
return ver;

I have created an NSMutableArray to store some character there. When I'am adding some character there it gives me an error. Here my code:
#property(strong,nonatomic) NSMutableArray *actions; < ViewController.h
#synthesize actions; < ViewController.m
actions = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
switch ([sender tag]) {
case 0:
currentLabel = water;
[actions insertObject:#"0" atIndex:i];
i++;
break;
case 1:
currentLabel = coke;
[actions insertObject:#"1" atIndex:i];
i++;
break;
case 2:
currentLabel = fanta;
[actions insertObject:#"2" atIndex:i];
i++;
break;
}
Use [actions addObject:#"X"] instead. If the array does not have elements, you can't insert object at index 1.
I have the following piece of code:
switch (self.status) {
case refused:
message=NSLocalizedString(#"booking refused", nil);
break;
case accepted:
message=NSLocalizedString(#"booking accepted", nil);
break;
case taxiAborted:
message=NSLocalizedString(#"booking aborted", nil);
break;
case near:
message=NSLocalizedString(#"booking aborted", nil);
break;
case completed:
message=NSLocalizedString(#"booking completed", nil);
break;
default:
break;
}
that never enters the interior of the switch: neither hitting the default case nor the correct value. In my case self.status had value 'active' that is part of the following enumeration:
typedef enum {
requested = 0,
refused = 1,
accepted =2,
taxiAborted=3,
near = 4,
running= 5,
completed = 6,
userAborted=7
} statuses;
What did I do wrong?
I have some problem with my objective-c app. I want to convert input stream to textfield.text in objective-c.
I have tcp client with input stream and output stream. I want to use data from input stream and show them in uitextfield.
Can I use something like that:
temperatura.text = [inputStream read:buffer maxLength:sizeof(buffer)];
- (void)stream:(NSStream *)theStream handleEvent:(NSStreamEvent)streamEvent {
NSLog(#"stream event %i", streamEvent);
switch (streamEvent) {
case NSStreamEventOpenCompleted:
NSLog(#"Stream opened");
break;
case NSStreamEventHasBytesAvailable:
if (theStream == inputStream) {
uint8_t buffer[1024];
int len;
while ([inputStream hasBytesAvailable]) {
len = [inputStream read:buffer maxLength:sizeof(buffer)];
if (len > 0) {
NSString *output = [[NSString alloc] initWithBytes:buffer length:len encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];
if (nil != output) {
NSLog(#"server said: %#", output);
}
}
}
}
break;
I'm using this client. I want to use data from 'output' to get them on textfield.
Following line of code will return an int
[inputStream read:buffer maxLength:sizeof(buffer)]
Following line of code needs a NSString not int
temperatura.text
So you will have to typecast [inputStream read:buffer maxLength:sizeof(buffer)] to a string before you assign to temperatura.text . You can use following to typecast:
temperatura.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d",[inputStream read:buffer maxLength:sizeof(buffer)]];
A simple typecast example is :
NSString *string = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d", theinteger];
Please note that I have not tested this code for proper syntax, but this could be a solution. Let me know if you face any problems.
Thanks
Refer Folowing Code
(void)stream:(NSStream *)stream handleEvent:(NSStreamEvent)eventCode {
switch(eventCode) {
case NSStreamEventHasBytesAvailable:
{
if(!_data) {
_data = [[NSMutableData data] retain];
}
uint8_t buf[1024];
unsigned int len = 0;
len = [(NSInputStream *)stream read:buf maxLength:1024];
if(len) {
[_data appendBytes:(const void *)buf length:len];
// bytesRead is an instance variable of type NSNumber.
[bytesRead setIntValue:[bytesRead intValue]+len];
} else {
NSLog(#"no buffer!");
}
break;
**
temperatura.text = [[NSString alloc] initWithBytes:[_data bytes] length:[_data length] encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]
**
Why this code gives me the following errors?
"use of undeclared identifier baseURL"
and
"Unexpected Interface name NSString, expected expression"
here is the entire block of code
switch (type) {
case 1:
NSString *baseURL = [NSString stringWithString:#"http://www.myserver.net/somephp/"];
NSString *finalURL = [baseURL stringByAppendingString:#"?i="];
break;
case 2:
NSString *finalURL = [baseURL stringByAppendingString:#"?n="];
break;
default:
break;
}
Sounds like those lines are within a switch statement. If this is the case, move the declaration of the strings outside the switch statement.
NSString *baseURL;
NSString *finalURL;
switch (<expression>) {
case <constant>:
baseURL = [NSString stringWithString:#"http://www.myserver.net/somephp"];
finalURL = [baseURL stringByAppendingString:#"?i="];
break;
default:
break;
}
More information and other techniques to work around this on this question.
