[iPhone] How to kill UIAlertView programmatically?

My app is activating a UIAlertView upon disconnection from a server. If the connection is resumed without any user interference, I want my app to kill the UIAlertView so as not to annoy the user in case of a spotty connection by making them repeatedly have to manually dismiss the alerts. I haven't found in the documentation any reference to a forced cancellation of a UIAlertView except possibly a cancellation by the system in case the user presses the home button. I managed to make the alert view disappear by sending it a removeFromSuperview message, but it still has a retain count of 1 so obviously is being retained by some system element, which will cause a memory leak. Can anyone suggest how I might simulate a user dismissal of the alert view or otherwise cancel the alert in a safe way? I thought of sending the alert view simulated "touchesBegan" and "touchesEnded" messages to make it think the user dismissed the alert, but this would be a very annoying and possibly not foolproof way of doing it. Any suggestions?

Thanks - I feel so stupid! I (mis)understood the "dismissWithClickedButton" thing to mean that you are configuring the UIAlertView to be dismissed by the user clicking the button with that index, but in retrospect it's so obvious this is not what was meant, I don't see how it didn't occur to me. Oh well, it happens I guess...

  • How to kill a Thread?

    Hello,
    My question is simple how to kill a thread.
    The background is a call to a method in a third party API, crawler4j, that locks the entire program.
    The design of crawler4j is "You should stop it when you think it's enough (ctrl+c)" but as I use it only as a step in a larger program I want to stop it programmatically and not by "ctrl+c" as they have designed the API.
    This is the locking callcontroller.start(MyCrawler.class, numberOfCrawlers);So I made a thread public class MyCrawlController extends Thread {
    public void run(){
      controller.start(MyCrawler.class, numberOfCrawlers);
    }And in my main method
    MyCrawlController mCC = new MyCrawlController();
    mCC.start();
    Thread.sleep(180000);
    //Here I want to kill the mCC and all it's threadsOne problem is that my program never terminates. Probably due too the JVM not realizing that I don't want it to count mCC and it's spawned threads as alive. Any idea on how to solve this. For now I can only exit the program with System.exit(0); and I don't want that. So I need a way to stop the mCC's threads and get the JVM not to count them. Any idea on how to solve this. Even better if they can be taken by the GC.

    I came to think about daemons and solved the problem with mCC.setDaemon(true);Really stupid that one has to do several programs and tie them together only to kill a thread.
    As I only do this for other learning purposes and won't use this code or program after this week I will modify crawler4j, open source, and make myself a custom good method that will terminate itself and return to the main method properly.There are some fairly difficult problems with a number of aspects of concurrency if you forcibly stop threads, which is why Thread.stop() and related methods have long been deprecated.
    It's a pity that Java can't respond to kill signals (like Ctrl-C) in a tidy way. I think they're all tied up with some of the JVMs internal processes.
    In general people wind up using sockets instead of signals.

  • Transaction logs caused by iPhone User is killing the space

    User's iphone 5S is killing the transaction logs on the Exchange server.  Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?  User does receive a lot of mail by the way, has an enormous inbox (well over 3.5GB).  I'm sure there are also lots of Calendar
    items.  
    What to do and how to stop the phone from going into an endless loop cycle?  The only temporary relief I have is to either disable it or enforce a manual fetch.  Another solution I thought of is to put the user into his own database and turn on
    circular logging

    Oh boy.. there has been so many issue . look like you are still on Sp1 or SP2. I'd strongly recommend you to upgrade it to SP3. Is it a single server?
    You will need to plan the downtime for it..

    Don't you just love changes in interfaces?
    I found the answer to my question.
    When you attach a device (iPhone, iPad) to your Mac, in iTunes 12 in appears as a tiny icon in the second "row" of the iTunes display. Click the icon and the familiar iTunes display for the device appears. From there, on the Summary screen, you can see the dates of the backups of the device (iCloud and backup to the computer). You can also use the button to backup to the computer.

  • How do I apply programmatic skins for completely custom drawn components of a Flex library project?

    Hello folks,
    I am looking for best practices advice when (1) creating
    custom components and (2) styling and skinning.
    I already know how to skin a component part of the Flex
    framework. I can make a class extending ProgrammaticSkin and have
    my component skinned using CSS to link the component with the
    reference to my custom class.
    However what about those cases when you are completely
    creating a component from scratch?
    Imagine a "Freehand Drawing Canvas" component that allows the
    user to draw on it and has some buttons to set color styles, line
    styles, etc., or imagine a "Screen Flow Gallery" component that
    displays visual objects in a fashion similar to Cover Flow in the
    Mac.
    In many components I am aware you may reuse other components
    part of the Flex framework but I am trying to picture an scenario
    where you would need to draw everything yourself because there just
    isn't something to base it upon so you will end up drawing it from
    scratch.
    To learn how instead of building one of those components I
    mentioned previously I decided to start with something simple that
    would illustrate this like a LiteButton component that will behave
    just like the Flex mx.controls.Button but will extend UIComponent
    and be completely custom drawn.
    The component will have a default look and will also be
    style-able and skin-able. I will provide styles for users of the
    component to modify and regarding skinning anyone can create a
    custom ProgrammaticSkin adding its own drawing logic and link it to
    the component via CSS with the ClassReference applied to the skin
    selector.
    So far so good and it's clear what I want to achieve. I
    actually know how to do most of the stuff here but I have one
    single problem.
    Here is my question, where should I put my custom drawing
    logic? If I do it in the updateDisplayList inside the class
    extending UIComponent it works, however I thought that it would be
    a better practice to do it using programmatic skins, that way I
    could provide different skin themes for my component set.
    The problem is that I can't make the programmatic work in
    this scenario. I tried instantiating the custom programmatic skin
    during the updateDisplayList of the LiteButton component and adding
    it to my display object via addChild but that didn't do anything. I
    also tried creating a "default.css" stylesheet and tried to use
    ClassReference as I would normally do to skin an already existing
    component (or composite component as well) but that didn't do
    anything either.
    So how do I apply programmatic skins for completely custom
    drawn components of my Flex library project?
    I could do it inside the updateDisplayList of the LiteButton
    class extending UIComponent but again I would like to provide
    different theme sets for my components so it makes sense using
    programmatic skins.

    These aren't mutually exclusive. When you provide a skin with
    a
    TypeSelector, you have to add it to the display list
    somewhere, and this is
    typically done in updateDisplayList or addChildren. I prefer
    to do it in
    updateDisplayList, because you can then change it if the
    style changes.

    Exactly what did you do?

    I've never had any problem using an approach similar to
    this...but I will
    say that I couldn't see any advantage in creating a
    default.css style sheet,
    since it's not really default in the way that the one that
    comes with Flex
    is. It's much more obvious to anyone using your component
    what's going on
    there if you create a style sheet where they're likely to
    spot it.

    It seems like your approach is fine, but maybe you've made a
    mistake in your
    implementation.

    You might want to consider also adding an instance of
    HaloBorder to your
    component. That brings a lot of functionality with it.

    I have different apple ids for my ipad and iphone - how do i sync so that the apps appear on both devices, e.g errands

    If both accounts are authorised on the computer's iTunes that you sync them to, and the relevant apps are on that computer, then you should be able to sync them to both devices. The apps will be tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded them, so only that account will be able to download updates to them.
    If you log into the other account on a device and re-download its apps onto them then you risk tying the device to that account for 90 days (and similarly redownloading on a computer's iTunes) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
