Set transparency of UIView not working

I'm trying to set a UIView to a transparent color. I found this snippet which partially works. Here is the code from the IBAction that calls the UIView:
Creed *creed = [[Creed alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
[self presentModalViewController:creed animated:YES];
self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithHue:0.0 saturation:0.0 brightness:1.0 alpha:0.2];
As the view slide up, it's transparent. As soon as it stop animating, it's solid.
I tried moving the "self.view..." to the viewDidLoad and it does the same thing. It animates in faded, but as soon as it comes to a rest, it's full white again.
I tried no code at all, and tried to set the opacity in IB, and the background color, to the same effect.
Where do I set this to make it work right?

Hi bonfx, and welcome to the Dev Forum!
presentModalViewController replaces the superview as soon as the animation is complete, so the whilte background you're observing is the new superview. I.e. the alpha of the modal view's background hasn't really changed.
To get the effect you want, you'll need to simulate a modal transition by adding creed.view to the current view using your own animation. I posted an example of this a while ago, but can't seem to locate it atm. I'll get back to this thread as soon as I find it unless you don't need further help, ok?

Update: I got lucky before the 15-minute grace period expired. Here's one of my posts that shows how to animate the transition: [http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10689704&#10689704]. Somewhere around here I might have an example of the entire forward and backward transition. If you post to say you need more help, I'll dig for that code. - R

  • I have an ipod touch it is either a second or third edition and i have just had to restore it to factory setting as it was not working and now the wifi on the device is no longer working. Is there anything i can do about this?

    i have an ipod touch it is either a second or third edition and i have just had to restore it to factory setting as it was not working and now the wifi on the device is no longer working. Is there anything i can do about this?

    Is it this:
    iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
    One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem. A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
    Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
    Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
    Power up
    Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
    If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Otherwise:
    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    The RAW setting in Bridge is not working. When I open Bridge I can see only icons, no images. The RAW tool icon is grey, not active. I am going on a trip Tomorrow and I need Bridge to be working. It was working earlier.

    I never notied that icon before, and I've been using Bridge for 7 years.
    Usually, when you have no image previews for raw files, this means that your Camera Raw plug-in is older than your camera. People always come across this problem when they use a new camera with older software.
    To be sure, we need to know which camera you are using, and which version of Camera Raw. To save typing this out for the three-thousandth time, please follow this page which I wrote earlier:
    http://yphotography.co.uk/articles/get-adobe-camera-raw-acr-open-photos/
    This covers the subject, which is by far the most commonly asked question about opening raw files by a country mile.
    If everything checks out fine, let us know. If not, give us more information and we may be able to fix this for you.
    PS. Please just open one discussion per problem. There are three threads on this now. It makes it difficult to follow.

    Bug: LCDS-544 - Scenario where two components have seperate channel sets with overlapping channels not working.
    QA: Yes
    Doc: No
    Checkintests Pass: Yes
    Details:
    * Hunting to a new channel within a channelset never triggered a disconnect from the previous channel(s). This isn't a problem in general, but does becomes a problem when an app defines two distinct channelsets containing at least one shared channel at the head of the list. In this case, the first channelset hunts past it and connects on a later channel. But when the second channelset hunts through (triggering a connect fault when it hits that initial shared channel that can't connect), the fault is processed by the first channelset as well (incorrectly).

    Modified Paths:

    Running the script by python2 solves it for me:

  • Characteristic "Master Data" setting in Query definition not working?

    Hi,
    I am having a problem with a query definition. (BI 7.0)
    The query comprises the following definition which relate to displaying Milestone dates for respective projects in a time series so the dates are populated in the correct column in a time series:
    Filter
    Project Definition = Fixed Single Project Definition
    Fiscal Year Variant = K4
    Project Profit Centre = Hierarchy Node
    Project Plant = Fixed Single Value
    Free Chars
    Network
    Network Activity
    Activity Element
    Rows
    Project Plant
    Project Profit Centre (With hierarchy)
    Project Definition
    Milestone Type  (Setting in characteristic to pick up Master Data)
    CSR Relevant    (Setting in characteristic to pick up Master Data)
          Structure
               Actual
               Scheduled
        (Actual:  Value type = Actual,  Origin = Manual ,Event = Start)
        (Scheduled:  Value type = Actual,  Origin = Scheduled ,Event = Start)
    Columns
    Key Figure structure of 12 key figures in a time series
    Selection
    Key Figure = Date
    Fiscal Year/Period = Current Fiscal Year / Period (SAP EXIT) (With Offset 1 to 12)
    FYI
    When I run the above it comes back correctly. However when I add "MILESTONE" (Characteristic setting (Posted Values) to the Query Definition immediately after the "Milestone Type" and before CSR it does not work it just is hanging for a considerable time.
    I am not using "Master Data" for the "Access Type for Result Vales" for the additional characteristic "MILESTONE" just "Posted Values".
    I was expecting that it would just show all Milestone types as per Master Data but just the Milestones that are posted for this result.
    I would appreciate a solution to this issue and an explanation to why it hangs when I add the "MILESTONE" characteristic to the definition as explained above.
    Thanks in advance..
    Stevo

    Hello there,
    Putting Milestone in the rows in the query definition is not being hang there (i.e., while creating and saving the query) right?
    It is stucked while executing the query isn't it so?
    That's because you have too many records to be desaggregated by milestone characteristic, and this is indepently of posted values in the characteristic settings.
    Putting milestone characteristic in the free characteristics will allow you to run the query, but desaggregate it (add it to the rows) will be to much information to read from your dataprovider (this is just a guess).
    If it is being stucked in query execution whike milestone is in the rows. Try this for example:
    Add milestone to the free chars. Execute the query. Filter milestone characteristic while still in the free rows and choose a value that you are pretty sure has the smallest records in the Dataprovider (could be for example value #). Than drill down milestone to the rows. You'll see that it can be executed without any problem.
    Diogo.

  • Setting up email account not working

    i went on my blackberry and set up my email account and nothing happened. no email icon on home screen, no emails, nothing. then i tried getting a new service book and registering by going options-> advanced options-> Host Routing Table -> register and then reset my blackberry again and set up the email account again and it still doesnt work. i even tried setting it up on the website and it says "a email icon should appear on your home screen" but nothing appeared. I have a data plan so im sure i can set up a email but its just not working. I googled all the instructions online and tried them all at least once and none of it works )= any suggestions or new ideass?
    thx in advanceeee

    oh days? lol, it should happen with a couple hours at the most.
    Are you certain you've got your device PIN registered on your service provider's network?
    I would suggest you double check with them that ALL is correct and your plan is correct. It must be if you are able to login to your BIS BlackBerry account site.... but still, if not email is setup after "days" you've got some larger problem.

  • System set up freshly - WIFI not working

    Hey there,
    after some virus problems I set up my system from the scratch, formating the harddrive and reinstalling Windows. I also downloaded the Lenovo System Updater, installed all updates and downloaded the ThinkVantage Solution Center. Now, the PC works again BUT the WiFi adapter does not work. It seems to be non-existent, if I press F9 it says I am suppossed to press the hardware switch. I have a ThinkPad Edge 15, it does not have such a switch at all.
    In the hardware manager i find one network device without driver, so I suppose this is it. However, no driver seems to work. I downloaded the WiFi dirver(s) from the Lenovo website and installed them, nothing happens. What can I do?
    Here are my specifications:
    -Thinkpad Edge 15
    -Windows 7 Home Premium (OEM)
    - the driver I installed which did not work: Intel Wireless LAN (bg, abg, abgn) for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit), XP - ThinkPad
    Thank you so much in advance for you help!!! I am pretty certain that the hardware works, before I set uo the system WiFi was not at all a problem.
    Best Wishes
    Tobias
    Solved!

    @pastaohnenamen...
    did you get the first driver pack from here:
    http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/research/hints-or-tips/detail.page?DocID=HT072025 ?
    have you tried any of the other driver packs? maybe:
    ThinkPad 11b/g/n Wireless LAN Mini-PCI Express Adapter II for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit) - ThinkPad
    or
    ThinkPad 11b/g/n Wireless LAN Mini-PCI Express Adapter II for Windows XP - ThinkPad
    depending on your os.
    eta: based on some further searching, i'm pretty sure that the driver i've referenced will work for you.
    please post back once you've had a chance to test.
    cheers.
