I would like to programmatically Add a UIScrollView in a UIAlertView.
I found a way to do that but I was not successful in adding text to this UIScrollView (using the same code as in here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SG0CAAl5u0).
is there an alternative to do that? the text I have is very long and I need people to be able to scroll but without being able to edit it.
I know that the Apple user interface guideline does not recommend long text in alerts (although detecting WiFi networks does that) but I have no choice but doing it
If you add a large text in UIAlertView it automatically becomes scrollable.
You don't have to do any thing to make it scrollable.
Here is a control on github that has a tabelView inside it. If you need to customize beyond what Inder suggests, you might want to look at the code and replace the tableView with a scrollView.
Also, there are other controls at cocoacontrols.com that might help you directly or give you some ideas.

I am displaying hundreds of thumbnails in my view . I know default way to handle tap on thumbnail is using UICollectionView delegate method "didSelectItemAtIndexPath" but since its many thumbnails i wanted to look into adding gestures to the screen position so when i tap on a particular spot on the screen, it will handle the event accordingly for that particular thumbnail underneath. I would like to know if it is a good/possible approach?
It would be a hell of a lot easier to use a UICollectionView.
If you need a custom layout then you can subclass UICollectionViewLayout and get some really cool dynamic layouts.
You also get the added bonus of dequeued cells meaning that you get better memory management using it.
You may find UIGestureRecognizer useful. A good tutorial to get you started is here.
The question may be similar with
Designing inside a scrollview in xcode 4.2 with storyboards
but none of the answer there makes sense at all.
Okay I created a new controller and I added a scrollView.
The very first thing I noticed is there is NOWHERE to specify the content size of the scrollView.
Not in attributes inspector, not in size inspector.
Then what?
I am expecting some larger than normal box where I can draw all the view I want to put in. There is no such thing either.
I am very frustated.
All the "tutorial" out there tell about how to fill scrollView using code.
Another thing I tried is to select controller go to size inspector and then choose FREEFORM.
Great. I still can't make that template big.
Should I do this in XIB instead? At least on that one I can have one huge UIView. Or what is the official way industry standard way of doing this? Is there a WWDC for this one?
Say I want to draw something like these:
I don't think you can get a tutorial on this as it is simply impossible in IB. As most people already commented out what you want to do here need to be done programmatically.
If you are using XIB you can set up all your content there. Under the size tab (in the inspector) you will need to change the height to fill all your content but you still need to set up your contentSize programmatically.
For storyboard I don't think it is possible to change the size of your scrollview in IB.
I want to do what is described here. I know I am kinda repeating the question but that post does not have an answer. I have searched the net and didn't find anything I could understand either.
So, here is my problem: I want to create an NSTextField subclass that animates text (in the way described by the other post) when the text is too long to be completely displayed. I have absolutely no idea on how to do this, so some sample code would be nice for complicated answers. If it helps, I only want to use this to animate labels (text not selectable nor editable). Thanks.
It seems that this SO entry is close to what you need. It is not based on a NSTextField but on a NSView, but the result is what you are looking for and it should note be hard to modify.
Those links should show you the way :

Auto Scrolling UITextView Problem
They talk about iPhone classes, but I'm sure you will be able to adapt them for NSTextField.
This is a real n00b question but i am very new at this and have been looking for an answer and also read the reference as i am trying to work with UITextView.
I want to add quite a lot of text into a view and i want it to be scrollable.
I have created the UITextView in IB, added text via "self.myTextView.text = #"...", which works. However i am not able to scroll down and see all text. I see only the amount of text that fits in the view i have.
I wonder if someone nice could help me and give an example/hint how to get the UITextView scrollable.
Thank you.
If it's static text and you'd like some formatting, I recommend using a UIWebView. You can give it a variety of files types, and edit the file easily.
Is there a way to change the orientation of the iPhone using a button?
No. flip the phone, the orientation changes. Leave it at that, or you'll ruin the integrity of the phone.
sometimes we need to show our app in the correct orientation, even if there is not direct way on doing what domness want, you can look at this SO entry and see some responses.
P.S. # domness, try to search for what you need before posting a new question.
What exactly are you trying to reorient? You can change the position of the status bar with UIApplication -setStatusBarOrientation:animated:; rearrange your UI with the proper transformations and you'll pretty much have it.
You can force an orientation change, but only using an unsupported, private API. If this is something you'd like Apple to make public, you should file an enhancement request.
This is my new account btw..
Right, I got this sorted by apply the transformations to what I wanted to show when the button was clicked. It was to show a scrollview with applied animations to objects within the scroll view.
