What is the use of NSLocalizedString?
self.textfiled.text=NSLocalizedString(#"testing", #"test")];
When i execute the same i got the textfield displayed only testing? What will be the use of second Parameter then??
I won't get into details but long story short, it is used for creating an application which will be shown in various languages. It is a macro that returns a string, according to the locale of the device. Let's assume you are writing an app which will have an english and turkish version. You need to have at least two different versions of localizable.strings file, one of English and one for Turkish. The format is the same for both:
/* Cancel button text */
"Cancel" = "Cancel";
and for TR:
/* Cancel button text */
"Cancel" = "İptal";
Note that the format is not "english" = "turkish", it is "key" = "value" in both versions. It will be created by genstrings if you provide an NSLocalizedString macro in your code such as:
NSLocalizedString(#"Cancel", #"Cancel button text")]
NSLocalizedString finds the localizable.strings version from the app bundle and loads the string according to the device's locale. Note that it wont help you change language during runtime; but it will change the app language if you go to settings, change locale and restart your app.
Second parameter will be used as a prompt to translators about context of string being used in your application. It will be added to file generated by genstring tool, output will be something like:
self.textfiled.text = NSLocalizedString(#"AboutUserKey", #"Title for about user button")];
...
// en/Localizable.string
/* Title for about user button */
"AboutUserKey" = "About";
// ru/Localizable.string
/* Title for about user button */
"AboutUserKey" = "О пользователе";

I'm adding keyboard shortcuts to a Flutter web application.
I have a form within a custom FocusableActionDetector where the shortcut has form like this:
SingleActivator(LogicalKeyboardKey.digit2)
and action is like:
CustomActivateIntent: CallbackAction<CustomActivateIntent>(
onInvoke: (intent) { provider.value = "2"; },)
In the same form I have a couple of numeric TextFormFields. To permit writing the character "2" I have to put these text fields inside some new FocusableActionDetector, otherwise the previous detector catches the command and the text field loses the "2" character, and this is already quite weird... Moreover, after writing in any of the text fields the form focus detector doesn't work anymore.
I think this could be related to the focus system, which is yet not that clear to me.
Can anyone help find a clean solution?
I found a workaround: the FocusableActionDetector is now preceded by an if statement. The code looks like the following:
// I extract the form to a widget to make it clearer
var searchWidget = SearchWidget();
child: textEditingInProgress
? searchWidget
: FocusableActionDetector(
child: searchWidget,
...,
),
The textEditingInProgress bool is a field in a provider and is controlled by the FocusNodes belonging to the TextControllers.
Still this is not a perfect solution, in particular I'd like to understand why the previous approach was not working.
I'm automating e2e tests with Protractor on an angular app.
However, I have an issue when sending keys on input fields.
The sendKeys would miss few characters everytime so I found a workaround :
static sendKeys(value, element){
value.split('').forEach((c) => element.sendKeys(c));
}
This works well but it takes more than 3 times the time the original sendKeys function would.
Well no problem my tests are still functionnal right ?
My app now has new fields with scripts behind them.
One of them is a datepicker input, you can either choose from the datePicker or type it manually. However, for today's date you would type 09022018 and the slashes are automatically appended at the right place (like so 09/02/2018). If you were to enter a wrong date the field is cleared.
Now back to the problem : it seems that both my implementation of sendKeys and the original one loose focus after each submitted key. This means that I can't enter a valid date in the input field as it's cleared after each simulated keypress.
I could use browser.executeScript to fix it but I wouldn't be able to test the functionnality adding slashes. Also, as you type, the datepicker is still open and refreshes after each keypress, you can select a date from it at any time and that is also a feature I want to test.
Thanks in advance
Use executeScript to set the date in backgrond, then use sendKeys to enter a space or Tab at the end to trigger the Keyborad event which will check the input and format the input with slash
function enterDate(date) {
var script = 'arguments[0].value=arguments[1]';
// input box for date
var dateBox = element(by.xxx(yyy));
browser.executeScript(script, dateBox, date);
dateBox.sendKeys(" ");
// or try send Tab
dateBox.sendKeys(protractor.Key.TAB);
}
enterDate('09022018');
You can try this solution on other fields you fixed but take 3 more time.
All is in the title.
If a have opened the three files:
/some/relatively/long/path/dir1/file_a
/some/relatively/long/path/dir1/file_b
/some/relatively/long/path/dir2/file_a
The file dropdown contains:
file_a (/some/relatively/long/path/dir1)
file_a (/some/relatively/long/path/dir2)
file_b (/some/relatively/long/path/dir1)
And that bother me because I have to look on the right to differentiate the two file_a, and on the left for the others. This happens a lot to me mostly because I code in python, and thus I often have several __init__.py files opened.
How do I get jedit to display
/some/relatively/long/path/dir1/file_a
/some/relatively/long/path/dir1/file_b
/some/relatively/long/path/dir2/file_a
config:
jedit 5.1.0
java 1.6.0_26
mac osx 10.6
Unfortunately this is not easily possible currently, I just had a look at the source and this is not configurable.
You can:
Submit a Feature Request to make this configurable (good idea in any case)
Create or let create a startup macro that
registers an EBComponent with the EditBus that listens for new EditPanes getting created
retrieve the BufferSwitcher from the EditPane
retrieve the ListCellRenderer from the BufferSwitcher
set a new ListCellRenderer to the BufferSwitcher that first calls the retrieved ListCellRenderer and then additionally sets the text to value.getPath()
Try the Buffer List plugin as to whether it maybe suits your needs
Now follows code that implements the work-part of option two, runnable as BeanShell code which does this manipulation for the current edit pane. The third line is not necessary when done in an EBComponent, this is just that the on-the-fly manipulation is shown immediately.
r = editPane.getBufferSwitcher().getRenderer();
editPane.getBufferSwitcher().setRenderer(
new ListCellRenderer() {
public Component getListCellRendererComponent(list, value, index, isSelected, cellHasFocus) {
rc = r.getListCellRendererComponent(list, value, index, isSelected, cellHasFocus);
rc.setText(value.getPath());
return rc;
}
});
editPane.repaint();
I have an NSTokenField in my application and I implemented the tokenField:completionsForSubstring:indexOfToken:indexOfSelectedItem: method in which I specify the receiver’s tokenizing character set with the setTokenizingCharacterSet: method:
def tokenField(tokenField, completionsForSubstring:substring, indexOfToken:tokenIndex, indexOfSelectedItem:selectedIndex)
tokenField.setTokenizingCharacterSet(NSCharacterSet.whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet)
end
It works as expected when I click on the space bar or the enter button. I would also like to have the same behavior when I click on one of the item of the completion list with my mouse.
How is that possible?
Thanks for your help.
I don't know if it's possible to have this behaviour with a NSTokenField.
But you should take a look at MTTokenField which do what you want out of the box.
To do so, you will have to:
1.Create an Xcode Project as a Static Library(Do not enable ARC).
2.Save your project to vendor/MTTokenField
3.Drag and drop all the files of MTTokenField located in the subdirectory 'MTTokenField' to your new XCode project. Choose to copy the files.
4.Add this to your rakefile in order to compile and link the library with your Rubymotion project.
app.vendor_project("vendor/MTTokenField/", :xcode, :xcodeproj => "MTTokenField.xcodeproj", :target => "MTTokenField", :products => ["libMTTokenField.a"], :headers_dir => "MTTokenField")
5.In Interface Builder change the class of your NSTokenField to NSTextField and then set its custom class to MTTokenField, and also change the custom class of the cell: MTTokenFieldCell instead of NSTextFieldCell.
6.Then you have to set the delegate of your MTTokenField to a class which has to respond to :
def tokenField(tokenField, completionsForSubstring: substring )
# your have to return an array containing your results matching substring.
end
And that's it. It should work.
Hope it helps !
I found another solution using NSTokenField instead of MTTokenField.
In the delegate of my NSTokenField, I used the controlTextDidChange method of NSControl which is called anytime I write a character in my token field. In this method I check if there is a NSLeftMouseUp event which is triggered, and if it's the case, I simulate a click on Return. And that's it.
def controlTextDidChange(aNotification)
application = NSApplication.sharedApplication
event = application.currentEvent
if event.type == NSLeftMouseUp
e1 = CGEventCreateKeyboardEvent(nil, 0x24, true)
CGEventPost(KCGSessionEventTap, e1)
end
end
There is one more thing to do to make it properly work: the issue here is that if I have a completion list with 3 items for instance, one of them will be selected by default, let's say the first one. In this case, the solution will work as expected if I click the second or the third item but I will have to double click the first item to make it work.
To fix this, turn off the autocompletion and only display the suggestion box, i.e add this line to the tokenField:completionsForSubstring:indexOfToken:indexOfSelectedItem: method:
selectedIndex[0] = -1
I have the following implementation to display the text. However, I am unable to click on a link in the text "www.google.com". How can I change my implementation such that if a link exists, I will be able to click on it and it redirects me to the web page?
NSString *answer = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",self.answerForCell.text];
CGFloat answerLabelHeight = [CustomCell getHeightOfLabel:answer ofFontSize:ANSWER_FONT_SIZE withConstraint: ANSWER_CONSTRAINT];
UILabel *thisAnswerLabel = (UILabel*)[self.contentView viewWithTag:ANSWERLABEL_TAG];
[thisAnswerLabel setFrame:CGRectMake(CELL_TEXT_LEFT_MARGIN + CELL_AVATAR_WIDTH + CELL_SPACING, currentYAxisValue, CELL_ANSWER_WIDTH, answerLabelHeight)];
thisAnswerLabel.text = answer;
UILabels do not support hyperlinking. Instead consider using a UIWebView to display the text in the answer.
Another way to do it would be to use regular expressions to check if the text contains a link, and in that case turn the whole label into a button that the user can click/tap. To me this seems like a setting where a web view is preferred though, since I'm guessing the answer could be a long text.
