Step 1:-
Create a class with sub Class UITextView and put the name of class KDPlaceHolderTextView
copy and paste the code in KDPlaceHolderTextView.h file
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
IB_DESIGNABLE
#interface KDPlaceHolderTextView : UITextView
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBInspectable NSString *placeholder;
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBInspectable UIColor *placeholderColor;
/*!
This method is used to set the UITextView Notification and UitextField begin nitification to set the placeholder text
#param NSNotification to be a notification
#return void
*/
-(void)textChanged:(NSNotification*)notification;
#end
Step 2:-
Add the this code in KDPlaceHolderTextView.m file
#import "KDPlaceHolderTextView.h"
#interface KDPlaceHolderTextView ()
#property (nonatomic, retain) UILabel *placeHolderLabel;
#end
#implementation KDPlaceHolderTextView
CGFloat const UI_PLACEHOLDER_TEXT_CHANGED_ANIMATION_DURATION = 0.25;

if (!self.placeholder) {
[self setPlaceholder:#""];
}
if (!self.placeholderColor) {
[self setPlaceholderColor:[UIColor lightGrayColor]];
}
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(textChanged:) name:UITextViewTextDidChangeNotification object:nil];
}
/*!

- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame
{

{
[[self viewWithTag:999] setAlpha:1];
}
else
{
[[self viewWithTag:999] setAlpha:0];
}
}];
}
- (void)setText:(NSString *)text {
[super setText:text];
[self textChanged:nil];
}
/*!

{
if (_placeHolderLabel == nil )
{
_placeHolderLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(8,8,self.bounds.size.width - 16,0)];
_placeHolderLabel.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakByWordWrapping;
_placeHolderLabel.numberOfLines = 0;
_placeHolderLabel.font = self.font;
_placeHolderLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
_placeHolderLabel.textColor = self.placeholderColor;
_placeHolderLabel.alpha = 0;
_placeHolderLabel.tag = 999;
[self addSubview:_placeHolderLabel];
}
_placeHolderLabel.text = self.placeholder;
[_placeHolderLabel sizeToFit];
[self sendSubviewToBack:_placeHolderLabel];
}
if( [[self text] length] == 0 && [[self placeholder] length] > 0 )
{
[[self viewWithTag:999] setAlpha:1];
}
[super drawRect:rect];
}
#end
Step 3:-
Go to storyboard file and drag the UITexview in viewcotroller and assign the class KDPlaceHolderTextView
and see the attribute inspector set the PlaceHolder text or color
finally build and run the project
Check this in GitHub
You just have to change class name to (GCPlaceholderTextView) in UITextView interface.
It is not directly possible to add a Placeholder in textView But we can make use of UILabel to do the same.
Take a property of UILabel
#property (weak, nonatomic) UILabel *placeholederLabel;
Then in YourViewDidLoad.
placeholederLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(5.0, 5.0,textView.frame.size.width - 30.0, 40.0)];
[placeholederLabel setText:#"Enter Your text here."];
[placeholederLabel setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
[placeholederLabel setTextColor:[UIColor yellowColor]];
[textView addSubview:placeholederLabel];
And then write textView delegate Methods
- (void)textViewDidEndEditing:(UITextView *)theTextView
{
if (![textView hasText]) {
placeholederLabel.hidden = NO;
}
}
- (void) textViewDidChange:(UITextView *)textView
{
if(![textView hasText]) {
placeholederLabel.hidden = NO;
}
else{
placeholederLabel.hidden = YES;
}
}
I currently developing a small dictionary app under OSX for my own use, I would like to have a feature that when I hit the return key, the focus would go to the nssearchfeild.
So I try to make the app to receive keyDown event using a NSView and NSViewController told by this tutorial.
But every time I start the app, it wouldn't receive the keyDown event. I have to click on the window once, then hit the keyboard, so that it can receive keyDown event.
What did I do wrong? Can anyone help me out with this problem? I have been stuck in this problem for days, and searching throught Google and API wouldn't help much.
Thanks in advance!

I've a NSButton with both an Image and Alternate Image. I would like the alternate image to be shown on hover. To solve this, I've extended the NSButton to show the alternate image when hovering the view. Is there a better solution to this?
My solution:
#interface HoverButton()
#property (nonatomic, strong) NSTrackingArea *trackingArea;
#property (nonatomic, strong) NSImage *imageTmp;
#end
#implementation HoverButton
-(void)mouseEntered:(NSEvent *)theEvent {
[super mouseEntered:theEvent];
[self updateImages];
self.image = self.alternateImage;
}
-(void)mouseExited:(NSEvent *)theEvent {
[super mouseExited:theEvent];
self.image = self.imageTmp;
}
- (void)updateImages {
self.imageTmp = self.image;
}
-(void)updateTrackingAreas
{
if(self.trackingArea != nil) {
[self removeTrackingArea:self.trackingArea];
}
int opts = (NSTrackingMouseEnteredAndExited | NSTrackingActiveAlways);
self.trackingArea = [[NSTrackingArea alloc] initWithRect:[self bounds]
options:opts
owner:self
userInfo:nil];
[self addTrackingArea:self.trackingArea];
}
#end
I would say this is better suited to an NSButtonCell subclass. you can do it in one method and it won't apply to all NSButtons (I doubt thats what you actually want). Just set your button cell type in IB to your custom subclass.
here is some code I just wrote and tested that works:
- (void)drawInteriorWithFrame:(NSRect)cellFrame inView:(NSView *)controlView
{
if (_alternateImageOrKeyEquivalentFont && _bcFlags2.mouseInside) {
// the draw bezel call is optional. maybe you don't want it
[self drawBezelWithFrame:cellFrame inView:controlView];
[self drawImage:_alternateImageOrKeyEquivalentFont
withFrame:cellFrame
inView:controlView];
} else {
[super drawInteriorWithFrame:cellFrame
inView:controlView];
}
}
you will need to set the showsBorderOnlyWhileMouseInside to YES probably in an init method for the cell.
CustomButton.h
#interface CustomButton : NSButton
#property (getter=isMouseInside) BOOL mouseInside;
#end
CustomButton.m
#implementation CustomButton
+ (Class)cellClass
{
return [CustomButtonCell class];
}
- (instancetype)initWithFrame:(NSRect)frame
{
self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
if (self)
{
[self commonCustomButtonInit];
}
return self;
}
- (void)commonCustomButtonInit
{
NSTrackingArea *trackingArea = nil;
trackingArea = [[NSTrackingArea alloc] initWithRect:[self bounds]
options:NSTrackingMouseEnteredAndExited | NSTrackingActiveAlways | NSTrackingInVisibleRect
owner:self
userInfo:nil];
[self addTrackingArea:trackingArea];
}
- (void)mouseEntered:(NSEvent *)event
{
self.mouseInside = YES;
if ([self.cell isKindOfClass:[CustomButtonCell class]])
{
CustomButtonCell *cell = self.cell;
cell.mouseInside = YES;
}
}
-(void)mouseExited:(NSEvent *)event
{
self.mouseInside = NO;
if ([self.cell isKindOfClass:[CustomButtonCell class]])
{
CustomButtonCell *cell = self.cell;
cell.mouseInside = NO;
}
}
#end
CustomButtonCell.h
#interface CustomButtonCell : NSButtonCell
#property (getter=isMouseInside) BOOL mouseInside;
#end
CustomButtonCell.m
#implementation CustomButtonCell
#end

I have 2 viewcontroller. In the first viewcontroller, there is the introduction and logo of the game and in the second viewcontroller it loads the skscene. And I travel from my first viewcontroller to second viewcontroller with a button click. But it becones error. My code is in the second viewcontroller is:
#interface MPAPViewSceneController()
#property (nonatomic, retain) MPAPMyScene *targetScene;
#property SKView *spriteView;
#end
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
_spriteView = (SKView *)self.view;
_spriteView.showsFPS = YES;
_spriteView.showsNodeCount = YES;
_spriteView.showsDrawCount = YES;
}
-(void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {
self.targetScene = [[MPAPMyScene alloc] initWithSize:CGSizeMake(768.0f, 1024.0f)];
[_spriteView presentScene:self.targetScene];
}
-(void)viewDidDisappear:(BOOL)animated
{
[super viewDidDisappear:YES];
self.targetScene = nil;
}
And in the scene I have written the code given below:
#interface MPAPMyScene()
#property (nonatomic) BOOL contentCreated;
#end
#implementation MPAPMyScene
-(void)didMoveToView:(SKView *)view {
if (self.contentCreated == NO) {
[self createSceneContents];
self.contentCreated = YES;
}
}
-(void)willMoveFromView:(SKView *)view {
[self removeAllChildren];
}
-(void)createSceneContents {
self.backgroundColor = [UIColor blueColor];
self.scaleMode = SKSceneScaleModeAspectFit;
}
Try changing this
_spriteView = (SKView *)self.view;
to
_spriteView = (SKView *)self.targetScene;
I'm working on a soundboard app, that has several pages of buttons to play sound effects with a stop button on every page should the user wish to manually interrupt the clip. I'm using avaudioplayer in each view to play the sound upon pressing the button for that clip. It works fine until the view is changed. If a user jumps to a new page the sound keeps playing and the stop button stops working even if they return to the original view. Pressing a sound button no longer interrupts the running sound resulting in two sounds over each other.
From googling and searching this site, I know the issue is that each view change creates a new instance of the player and the remedy is to create a singleton class. Unfortunately I have yet to find any further examples of how to actually do this. If someone could provide or point the way to a beginners guide for creating an avaudioplayer singleton I would really appreciate it. All I need to be able to do is pass the file name to the shared player and start play with a sound clip button and have the stop button stop sounds no matter what view the user is on. I am using the ios 5.1 sdk with storyboards and ARC enabled.
My solution, as used in one of my own projects, is posted beneath. Feel free to copy-and-paste, I intend to open-source this project once it's finished :)
A preview of the player can be seen on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q98DQ6iNTYM

There's a lot of discussion (and links to blogs, etc.) about singletons over at What should my Objective-C singleton look like?, and I see a fair number of tutorials as a result of this Google search: http://www.google.com/search?q=+cocoa+touch+singleton+tutorial, but the real answer to your question, I believe, is that you should do one of two things:
If you do want the sound for a particular view to continue playing when the user switches, create the player as you're doing now, but when the view (re)appears, check that a player exists, and don't make a new one.
If you want the sound to stop, then stop the sound when the view changes (i.e., in viewWillDisappear:).
