I want to use and develop a dictionary application for iOS and Mac, but I don't know how to use the Cocoa search field control .
If there is sample code for that, please guide me there.
If there is documentation for search field control, please guide me.
You can read about search field here: Documentation

I have a question, Using Kotlin in Android Studio. I want to make an app where you can filter through a recyclerView such as in the YouTube app.

What you are looking for is called a Chip, check this article.
Look for the Filter Chips section.
First of all I am new in Xamarin.Form. I am trying to get best from Google but some of functionality I am not able to get even searched a lot.
I am creating a Xamarin.Form app. In that app I want to provide a functionality of image filter. In that, the image captured by user or get from their internal memory should by filter.
I have tried to search on google to get some idea for it in Xamarin.Form but I still not get any link which can help me to get start.
First of all I don't know whether it is possible in Xamarin.Form or not. Can anybody suggest me a link or idea to achieve it?
I attached a Screenshot so you can easily understand the problem.

There are no out of the box APIs in Xamarin.Forms for Image filters.
Each platforms handles the images differently, you will need to implement these filters per platform bases.
You can find the instructions for iOS here and here for Android, then you can use the DependencyServices to access them in Forms app
Using objective c , and UITextField, i am trying to set a basic search engine.
So when user starts to type a word, he will get a list of words from an xml file (or other such as json) , and as he continue typing ,the list will be changed to adapt . Much like google search box .
I guess i dont have to invent the wheel and a searching algorithm from an xml file has already be done- but i couldn't find one .
Regarding the UI elements needed, i guess a search box with a built in list is something that already there also ?
thanks .
There are a bunch of tutorials online you should have a look at if you want to do this
Here are some about making a search:
AppCoda Search Bar
Ray Wenderlich Search View Swift
Here are some about parsing XML and JSON:
AppCoda JSON Parse
AppCoda JSON & XML Tutorial
Ray Wenderlich XML Parse
I recommend you recommend that you read through these and other online documentation/tutorials and decide how you want to code your search engine.
My advise for building this is to have a UITextField for the user to type into and then have a UITableView to display the results. You should parse the XML to a NSMutableDictionary/NSMutableArray and search using the user's input.
Feel free to ask any questions
I saw lots of QuickLook plugins (like BetterZip Quick Look Generator) coming together with their nice and tidy interfaces...I tried to design the GUI of my own one using HTML and JQuery, but I don't think that it's a good solution (plus, on top of that, Xcode 5.1 doesn't allow you anymore to include or open files from other directories with the <src> attribute).
I'll never thank enough Jelle Vandebeeck for opening my mind with his beautiful and helpful post, but unfortunately there's nothing on the internet regarding this topic (I think that there might be something on The Big Nerd Ranch Guide, but it won't be out before October).
So, I was wondering if anybody of you:
OPTION A - Knows the title of a guide that can explain how to develop/create a GUI for my QuickLook plugin in a "didactic" way (like a text book, step-by-step);
OPTION B - Could write down in the answer a couple of code lines to insert a button and a text field with the usual "Hello World!".
I have a sub-question related to the main one: is it possible to keep the semi-transparent white/grey background colour that a QuickLook window (like the one that appears when you select -for example- an audio file) usually has?
Thank you so much in advance!
In terms of a guide, there's the QuickLook Programming Guide over in the documentation. It goes over the architecture of QuickLook and walks you through the various steps of building a QuickLook plugin, including one that returns rich HTML content.
Related to this are a couple of pieces of documentation on how to integrate QuickLook into your own app, but it sounds like you're more interested in the plugin aspect.
I use a search bar in my CoreData app to find cities, and it is showing every possible match within my table view, like Google does. Google is providing a new searching facility: auto-completion of words (like XCode does with code -- IntelliSense). Can I implement this type of searching in UISearchBar?
See if this previous SO question helps Autocomplete search example for iPhone
