Count Number of Times an App ls Launched/Used

Anyone know if there's an app and/or API or something that would let you know how many times another application-- or actually all other applications-- were either (a) launched (first time) and (b) brought to the foreground (used more than once)? I did a forum search here and couldn't find any reference, and maybe it's more of a developer question, just thought someone might have heard of an existing app that already does something like it or know if there's an existing API call that would allow it. Thx KV

James should show 2 classes and nub should show 1 class. sorry

Counting how many times my app has been opened

I want to be able to count how many times a user has opened my application, and so every time the application launches, this number is added by one.
Does anyone know how I store a long-time variable like this that will still need to be available across different runs of the application? I imagine this value would be stored in the application's preference file in Library, but I don't know how to do this.
Can any of you please lend me some advice/code to achieve this (I am using Objective-C)?
Thanks in advance,
Ricky.

Hi.
It has been a while - but I finally got around to slapping some code together. I have successfully created and retrieved the value from the preference file, but for some reason, adding 1 to my value each run is not working. It only adds by one after each BUILD. So I have to rebuild it every time I want it to increment. See my code below;
[NSUserDefaults init];
int numberOfTimes;
numberOfTimes = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] integerForKey:@"used"];
numberOfTimes = numberOfTimes++; //It is that that is not working.
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setInteger:numberOfTimes forKey:@"used"];
NSLog (@"%d", [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] integerForKey:@"used"]);
I can't seem to stop anything wrong, but then again it is late.
Do any of you see any errors here?
Thanks,
Ricky.

Count number of times an instructor has taught a class

Howdy Folks, I'm using a lifeline to see if i can get some help for a question. I apologoze in advance, i know this is a numbers forum, but i am working with an excel spreadsheet and was hopng someone could give me a push in the right direction. i want to count how many times an instructor has taught a class based on dates. The spreadsheet is filled out via an applescript so the instructor's name appears with every student. I've been trying to use the count if formula in excel but i cant make it work. any suggestions? it should count james as 2 since he taught classes on two different dates, and nub as 1. all information is fictional and used for demo pruposes.

This will work for you... I hope:
I had to add three columns to your existing table, then crete a second table (on the right) to summarize:
The three columns can be anywhere but I added then right after column G
The table on the right in this example will have to be a new sheet in excel. On a mac Numbers is free (If you have Mavericks) so maybe you want to try to download from the App store.
H2=IF(COUNTIF( $H$1:H1, F2&"-"&E2)=0, F2&"-"&E2, "")
this is shorthand for... select cell H2, then type (or copy and paste from here) the formula:
=IF(COUNTIF( $H$1:H1, F2&"-"&E2)=0, F2&"-"&E2, "")
I2=IF(H2="", "", MAX($I$1:I1)+1)
J2=IF(COUNTIF($F$1:F1,F2)>0, "", MAX($J$1:J1)+1)
select H2 thru J2, copy
select H2 thru the end of column J
paste
In the new table (for Numbers) or sheet(in excel):
A2=IF((ROW()−2)<MAX(Table 2::J), OFFSET(Table 2::$F$2,MATCH(ROW()−1, Table 2::J,0), 0),"")
B2=IF(A2≠"", COUNTIFS(Table 2::F, A2, Table 2::I, ">0"), "")
select A2 and B2, copy

Count number of times a specific element occurs in ArrayList

I need to count the number of times a specific element occurs in an ArrayList. For example, if an ArrayList 'overflow' consists of the following elements:
1,3,4,1,1,8,14,7,3,7,8,0.
I need to count the number of times 4 occurs in the list.
ArrayList overflow = new ArrayList();
if(overflow.contains(4))
}I know that contains returns true if 4 exists in the ArrayList, but how do I count the number of times 4 occurs? Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

There is the Collections.frequency method in j2se 1.5
Or you could loop through the values in the ArrayList and count the number of times it occurs.

Count number of times each char appears??

Hi! I'm trying to figure out, how to count the number of times ech character appears in the text using ascii code??

Go the text character-by-character, and count each character. It's that simple.
The only remotely hard part is holding your character counters. You could use a Map.
But if you know that the characters are always going to be ASCII, then there's only going to be 128 of them.
So an array of int with 128 elements should be sufficient.
Those are more than enough hints. Go do your homework now.

How to count how many times the caller calls by using UCCX script?

Hi there,
My customer wants to do a few changes for their script as below:
At the beginning of the script they are planning to add a new menu item, it will announce their new privacy policies and to continue the user must press the number one to continue to the Welcome. If they do not press 1 then the message should repeat itself and if they again do not press 1 they should be transferred over to a live operator who will explain things and then be able to transfer them back to the message so that they can press 1 and continue.
I modified their script as attached file, but i don't know how to count how many times the caller calls in "Get Reporting Statistic".
Any helps would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Aaron,
At beginning, i want to use a variable to get number of mistake for the same caller, then we will send the call to right place to fulfill the customers' needs.
Do you have any suggestion for the new posted script?
Thanks.

Passing Variable to air app when launch using Badger

Hi all,
I am going to desperately to develop my application. Hope someone can help me........
I am using badger for air which I get it here http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/articles/badger_for_air_apps.html and it launch my app correctly, but I can't pass any variable into my app when launch.
I have read the instruction and adding some code like this :
on index.html(show my badge installer):
    var so = new SWFObject("AIRInstallBadge.swf", "", "215", "180", "9.0.115", "#000000");
        so.addVariable("airversion", "1.5");
        so.addVariable("appname", "Secure%205");
        so.addVariable("appurl", "http://localhost/testing/source/secure5.air");
        so.addVariable("appid", "examples.html.HelloWorld");
        so.addVariable("pubid", "B71ED76ECC937067D72BB9A0CDB516D1A8F43A9E.1");
        so.addVariable("arguments", "launch from browser");// this is my code
        so.addVariable("appversion", "0.1");
        so.write("flashcontent");
on index.html(my initial content) :
var urlMonitor;
var urlReq;

//apparg=event.applauncharg.toString();
//alert ('oK'+apparg);
applauncarg = event.arguments;
air.trace("onInvoke : " + event.applauncharg);
//air.Introspector.Console.log( applauncarg );
alert (applauncarg);

sory, there is mistake here......
the question isn't finish yet.
function onInvoke(e)
//my code
applauncarg = event.arguments;
air.trace("onInvoke : " + event.applauncharg);
alert (applauncarg);//just to make sure the variable had been sent correctly
My application running smoothly but there is no alert that show applauncharg variable.
then I am trying to know if invoke event run correctly or not by adding code
alert ("OK");
and it works, so there is no problem with the event listener.
does any one know if I missing something or any thing wrong with my code?
sory, there is mistake here......
the question isn't finish yet.
function onInvoke(e)
//my code
applauncarg = event.arguments;
air.trace("onInvoke : " + event.applauncharg);
alert (applauncarg);//just to make sure the variable had been sent correctly
I have get the answer. If someone need the source code, just Pm me and I'll give you my Source to help you.
The first is to make sure that your action scipt code can handle the argument that passed by javascript.
Make attention between invoke event and browser invoke event! it is almost same but they are different.
If you type browser invoke event, it seems browser invokeevent doesn't recognized, but it works.
The second is my mistake on source code. onInvokeevent shold be like this :
function onInvoke(e)
//my code
applauncarg = .arguments;
alert (applauncarg);

Need to count the number of times the Basic Finish data chages

HI Expertes,
I have a requirement I need to count number of times the Basic finish date chaged for PM work order. I went throug our forums I got some info like using a standard function module
CHANGEDOCUMENT_READ_HDRS_ONLY
CHANGEDOCUMENT_READ_HEADERS
CHANGEDOCUMENT_READ_POSITIONS
But all the above function module will not be suitable for my requirement since CHANGEDOCUMENT_READ_HDRS_ONLY it gives whole changes but my requirement is just need number of changes occurred in Basic Finish date but CHANGEDOCUMENT_READ_POSITIONS can give the filed number which has been changed but still I need change id.
So kindly suggest me wether there is any other Standard FM to get number of changes occurred in Basic Finish date?
Thanks,
Rajesh

Hi Debbie,
     To count the number of groups please try the folling steps:
1) Create a formula @reset and place this formula in the page header
    whileprintingrecords;
    numbervar i:=0;
2) Create another formula @evalgroup place this in the group header where you want to count the values.
    whileprintingrecords;
    numbervar i:= i+1;
3) Create another formula @display and place this in report footer.
    whileprintingrecords;
    numbervar i;
In order to display the count of details which are printing in the detail section place the eval formula in the detail section and the @display formula in the group footer.
Hope this helps!!!

Vinay

Autoload file when app is launched?

How do I have an application open a certain file every time that app is launched?

Is the application hard-coded into the device? If so there's not much you can do to change it. If the application is in Login Items then you can replace the application with the document. Otherwise you need to contact the manufacturer's tech support for help.

Is there a way to count the number of times an array moves from positive to negative?

I have an array of values, and I need to find the number of times that the array changes signs (from positive to negative, or vice versa). In other words from a graphical standpoint, how many times a certain line crosses the x-axis. Counting the number of times the array equals zero does not help however, because the array does not always equal exactly zero when it crosses the axis (ie, the points could move from .1 to -.1).
Thanks for you help. Feel free to email me at [email protected] I only have lv 5.1.1 so if you attach any files, they cannot be version 6.0.

Attached is a VI showing the # of Pos and Neg numbers in an array, with 0 considered as non-Pos. It is easily modifiable to other parameters - including using the X-axis value as your compare point versus only Zero.
This is a modified VI from LV (Separate Array.vi)
Compare this with your other responses to find the best fit.

How do i count the number of times a cell has been referenced by other cells' formulae?

Hello,
I have a spreadsheet of recipes and ingredients that use checkboxes to let me know which recipes I can make based on the ingredients I have on-hand, using a formula like this one: =IF(AND('Spirits' :: A42,Mixers :: A18,Mixers :: A41,'Spirits' :: A25 ),Table 3 :: $A$2,Table 3 :: $A$3). If I've checked all of the boxes for ingredients that are required for any one of my recipes, the cell that the formula is in returns something like "YES"; otherwise, it returns a blank. It works well enough, but I'd like to include a cell next to each ingredient with a formula that will look through the hundreds of recipes, which all use a formula like the one above, and return a count of the number of times the ingredient's cell is referenced in those formulas. That way, I'll know which ingredients are the most commonly used in my eclectic collection of recipes. I thought something like =COUNTIF('Recipes' :: A2:A343, "=A2") would work, but it doesn't look at the cell references in the formulas, so no, it doesn't work. Any ideas? I'm using Numbers 2.3

Hello
There's no formula to inspect other formula in Numbers. So what you asked cannot be achived in such a way you described.

Adding a counter that keeps track of the total number of times a loop has run, even if LabVIEW has been restarted.

Hi all,
I am writing a VI for measuring data and inserting it into a database. The measurements are controlled by a loop that runs once every minute. I want to give each measurement a unique id number and store this too in the database.
To do this, I want to add a counter to this loop so that I can count the number of times the loop has executed in total. This is, even if the VI, LabVIEW or even th PC is restarted, I want the counter to keep track of the number of executions. If say, the loope executes two times and then the VI is stopped and restarted, I want the following number on the counter to be three.
Does anyone have an idea about how to do this? I am gratefule for any help!
Clara

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Not allowed to give away code but I can describe one of my "Totalizers" used to keep track of how much stuff has passed through a fliter so we know when to change it.
THe Total izer is implemented as an Action Engine.
It has three actions (methods)
1) Init - Opens an ini file and reads the last values read and cahces these in shift registers. It also inits a timer so we now how long since the last file I/O.
2) Update - Uses the data passed by the caller to update the totals. It also checks how long since the last save and if more than one minute it writes to the ini file (forced write).
3) Read - returns the totals for display and evealuating if a an alarm should be triggered to change the filter.
Note:
THe pre-LV 8.6 version of the ini file exposed methods to allow writing to the file. The new ini functions do not expose that functionality and require closing the file.

How do I count the number of times a word appears in a column?

What I have is a spreadsheet logging work history. Let's say the work location is "office", "home", or "travel" and I want to have a separate cell in another table for totals, count up the number of time each appears in the data for the year. So it would look like this:
Date
Location
sept 1
office
sept 2
home
sept 3
home
sept 4
travel
sept 5
office
sept 6
office
sept 7
office
sept 8
travel
sept 9
home
sept 10
office
Totals
Days
10
Office
5
Home
3
Travel
2
I just can't figure out how to develop the formula to put in the Totals column to make it work this way. If you can help me achieve this I'd really appreciate it!

Hi SpartanAntarctican,
Table 1 to record your locations
Date
Location
sept 1

sept 3
home
sept 4
travel
sept 5
office
sept 6
office
sept 7

sept 8
travel
sept 9

sept 10

Table 2 to sum your locations
Totals
Days
10
Office

Home

Travel

In Table 2 the formula in B2
=ROWS(Table 1::A)−1
Minus 1 because there is a Header Row in Table 1.
In Table 2 the formula in B3 (and Fill Down)
=COUNTIF(Table 1::B,A3)
You can check this by adding 5 + 3 + 2 to arrive at 10
Or maybe delete Row 2 put the Days calculation into a Footer Row in Table 2
=SUM(B) .

Ian.
