I need help ,I am pressed by time and I am blocked. Ihave a table view containing a directory's files (icon, name, size, date) . Tha table is filled via an arraycontroller. The table view just displays the image files and pdf files.When I select a row I want to preview the content in an IKImage view which isjust under the table. But I can't preview the content. Can you help me and give me some documentation , tutorials or commands on how to preview them and how to use ikimage view? I guess the ikimage view is the best solution. What do you think about that?
I guess that you have come up with the solution but a referral for others who might come here.
read apple example
its simple to start with.
In your case you can use - (void)setImage:(CGImageRef)image imageProperties:(NSDictionary *)metaData where your file properties can go in as dictionary object.
In the apple's example you can check out how to get CGImageRef from filepath, or you can use setImageWithURL.

Is there an example of the resize function for dropzone.js? I don't really understand how it works, it says:
"Resize is the function that gets called to create the resize information. It gets the file as first parameter and must return an object with srcX, srcY, srcWidth and srcHeight and the same for trg*. Those values are going to be used by ctx.drawImage()."
But I don't really get how to use it. So far I'm resizing the images on server-side, but I'd like to do it client-side and I think this might help. Any other solutions using dropzone.js if not this one?
I believe the built-in resize function in dropzoneJS is what is used to create the thumbnail, not resize the photo client-side, per se. There might be some way you could leverage it by setting the thumbnail dimensions to what you want to save to the server, and overwriting the file being saved with the thumbnail, but I'd have to hack about for a spell to offer you any code suggestions for that.
I need to take an existing pdf file and programmatically fill in a list of form fields with text and then save the pdf without ever displaying it to the user.
For instance, if the pdf file contains fields named "LastName", and "FirstName" I would like to set the value of "FirstName" to "Louis" and then save the file.
I've been searching for a long time and can't find any guidance on even where to start since the iOS documentation (and most of the questions on here) seem geared towards displaying or creating pdf content instead of modifying it.
EDIT:
My main question is: Is it possible to open a pdf stream (I know how to do this) and copy each existing pdf dictionary item into a new pdf? I have not been able to find a way to write the dictionary items to a pdf.
I doubt that kind of functionality will ever be in the iOS frameworks. The reason most of the related info you can find "seem[s] geared towards displaying or creating pdf content instead of modifying it" is because that's what the vast majority of use cases will want or need for PDF functionality.
You'll need to find a 3rd party library that can open up PDFs, fill out the AcroForm fields, and then stamp out a PDF. I use iText on Java (there is also iTextSharp for C#) but I don't know of anything for Objective-C.
Once you find that library, you'll need to integrate it into your project. There are undoubtedly several related questions/answers here on SO for whatever version of the SDK you're using.
This would be easier to do with a HTML page. If you wish to use a HTML page instead of a .pdf form then thius is how you would go about doing it:
[field1 setText:#"Field 1 Text"];
[field2 setText:#"Field 2 Text"];
NSString *result;
result = [webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"$('#field1').val('%#');", field1.text]];
result = [webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"$('#pfield2').val('%#');", field2.text]];
result = [webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:#"$('#submitbutton').click();"];
You would need to create two UILabels or UITextFields and call them "field2" and "field2" in your .h file. You can then find the ID of the field you need to replace e.g. #field1 and then put it where I have put "#field1" and again for the second field where I have put "#field2". There also needs to be a UIWebView with the page already loaded. This code is to be used after the UIWebView page has been loaded. Maybe do the following:
-(void)webViewDidFinishLoad:(UIWebView *)webView {
// Insert above code here
}
You probably need a full understanding of Javascript if you want to do this for the whole form, but this should get you started.
Hope that helps you.
I'm creating an iOS5 app (programmed in Objective-C) which provides a couple of functions. One of them is to allow a user to fill out a text field with JavaScript. When the user presses a "Test" button, I want it to save to a specific JS file and move to a new view, displaying an HTML page that will display the results of that JavaScript on a canvas element.
Unfortunately for me, I have no idea how to save to a JS file for a text field. Nor do I know if this is actually the best way to achieve the results I'm after.
So can anyone tell me the code I'd need to place in the IBAction of my test button to save the file, or if there is a better way to get the user's script into the HTML file with the canvas element?
You have some options to do that.
Add a callback in WebView is possible only in desktop apps, but you can make a workaround.
1- Set a handler to click in javascript;
2- This handler parse the value via windows.location (trying to change the current url);
3- In UIWebviewDelegate set webView:shouldStartLoadWithRequest:navigationType: to recognize this values parsed by javascript and returning NO (canceling the url change).
After you have the code typed by user, is easier pass to the new one UIWebView. You can save the file via NSData or other class and load in by the path, or you can parse directly the code to be showed via NSString.
EDIT
I, still, belive what I said is what you want, but with a little more info. Yes, 3 NSString probably solve your problem. You even can call eval in javascript, via objective-c and parse user code too. Those logic ideas are a good approaching. You can choose the easier for you.
There are more info in this another Q&A
You can use html 5 local storage for that.
I followed this nice article
http://www.lunatech-research.com/playframework-file-upload-blob
and have a perfectly working image upload solution
My questions is, if the user doesn't select any image, how do I assign a default image during save (probably stored in the server)?
if (!user.photo)
user.photo= ?;
user.save();
The one-hack that I can think of is upload the default image and see which UID "Play" stores in the /tmp directory and assign that above. Is there an elegant named* solution to this?
when I say named, I mean I want the code to look like (which means I know what I'm doing and I can also write elegant automated code if there are more than one picture)
user.photo= "images/default/male.jpg"
rather than (which means I'm just hacking and I can't extend it elegantly for a list of pictures)
user.photo= "c0109891-8c9f-4b8e-a533-62341e713a21"
Thanks in advance
The approach I have always taken is to not change the model for empty images, but instead do something in the view to show a default image, if the image does not exist. This I think is a better approach because your are corrupting your model for display purposes, which is bad practice (as you may want to be able to see all those who have not selected an image, for example).
To achieve this, in your view you can simply use the exists() method on the Blob field. The code would look like
#{if user.photo.exists()}
<img src="#{userPhoto(user.id)}">
#{/if}
#{else}
<img src="#{'public/images/defaultUserImage.jpg'}">
#{/else}
I have assumed in the above code that you are rendering the image using the action userPhoto as described in the Lunatech article.
I'd assume you can store the default image somewhere in your applications source folder and use
user.photo.set(new FileInputStream(photo), MimeTypes.getContentType(photo.getName()));
to save the data. Photo is just a File object, so you can get the reference of your default image and use it.
I download IKImageBrowserView sample named "IKImageKit Demo" from Apple official website.
But I find a problem.
For example:
When I import images from folder named "A", then I delete an image.
Then I import other image (name as same as the deleted image), the thumbnail in
IKImageBrowser will not change.
How could I resolve this problem?? Thanks!

I came across a reference that said the internal cache IKImageBrowserView uses looks up thumbnails by ImageUID. So if you change the ImageUID that your data source returns to be something other than just file name (maybe file name + file size), then it will be treated as a different image.
You should take a look at the IKImageBrowserItem Protocol's imageVersion method. If you need to let IKImageBrowserView know that a item has changed its image you can increment the imageVersion. This will force the view to update the cached image.
Update: Wow, old post. Looks like the documentation was updated a while after I had posted; as the other answers suggest, looks like you need to increment the image's imageVersion to update an image from cache.
After mulling over the problem for close to three hours (once I started, it was really bugging me, too!), I came to the sad conclusion that it's a bug in how IKImageKit handles images. IKImageBrowserView has a cache of images and thumbnails, and from whatever experimental data I have, I'm guessing that it just caches its images based on location on disk, and not on image data (so it can load the data lazily, I guess), so even if the actual image data can change, reloading the same file location will not update the image itself.
Of course, I could be completely wrong - which wouldn't surprise me, since there's literally no documentation on the issue, so I have nothing but results from Instruments and the app itself to guide me - but my advice to you is to ignore the issue for now, since there's nothing you can do about it, and possibly file the bug with Apple.
Of course, if anyone can introduce other evidence about this, please do! I'd love to know more about it.
Good luck!
you should want to imageVersion update or name the image of the path.
if you delete image with name "1.png" after you put image if it's name "1.png" the image browser view show the previous image so you should take care of image naming. or imageVersion method.
