[iphone] sub ViewController in UITableView and Interface Builder

Hello,
I created a UITableView-based application and now I would like to display a simple view after selecting a cell (drilldown feature).
I create a xib file in Interface Builder by following the guide "Configuring the Views for Additional Navigation Levels" in http://tinyurl.com/6cdh2k and I instantiate my controller using the method describe here http://tinyurl.com/5ft7ug
in my method didSelectRowAtIndexPath :
ViewStoryController *detailStoryController = [[ViewStoryController alloc] initWithNibName:@"StoryDetails" bundle:nil];
detailStoryController.story = story;
[[self navigationController] pushViewController:detailStoryController animated:YES];
But my screen is blank but for the navigation bar. I think it must something about init/load methods etc ... I missed something ?

Install iphone simulator and interface builder

I have purchase new mac book pro . I got xcode in media but how can i install iphone simulator and interface builder..
some body can give me link for that.....
thanks in advance..

Sorry, false alarm...10.5.3 failed to install properly prior to updating to beta 6 and as a result the SDK itself didn't install.

Xcode and Interface Builder

Hello,
I want to make a thing in Interface Builder so that when I click on the About "My Application" menu in the Menu Bar at the top a new window comes up.
What I did, was made a new window (HUB) then, deselected Visible at Launch. I did all the linking stuff with applescript and when I tested (Apple - R) it showed up! Any idea why and how to fix this problem?
Thanks!
P.S. My app is an AppleScript app
And also, if you can, how do you "export" your finished apps from Xcode?

Umm, OK. But you should get an "About" window by default without having to do anything. Are you saying you want another window too, or a different window than the default one?

HUB? Not sure what that means.
Did you do the Apple-R in Xcode or in Interface Builder? "Test Interface" (or Apple-R) in Interface Builder is not the same as "Build and Run" (Apple-R) in Xcode. In IB if your "not visible" window is open when you do the Apple-R then it will also be open when the interface test is in progress. None of your AppleScript code gets executed when you're testing in IB.
If you were doing the Apple-R in Xcode then I don't know. Post some of your AppleScript code.

Trying to create first iPhone app, use Interface Builder or Xcode first?

I'm trying to create my first iPhone App, do I start with Interface Builder or Xcode first? And how do I link the two together?

It's not really that simple -- you'll be working with both. Interface Builder is used to design the GUI (graphical user interface, which consists of the windows and buttons and text fields and so forth, the parts of the application that your user interacts with). Xcode, on the other hand, is used to write the code that tells that GUI what it's supposed to do, and how to do it. So, to answer your question as best I can -- generally, I would imagine you would want to start by creating the basic form of your GUI in Interface Builder and then start coding where appropriate in Xcode, then you'll move back and forth between the two (Xcode and Interface Builder) as needed.
If you're new to programming and want to start with iPhone apps, I recommend picking up a book on the topic (Apress publishing has a book called "Beginning iPhone 3 Development: Exploring the iPhone SDK" that is a good one, and don't forget to take advantage of Apple's iOS Dev Center, which has lots of good documentation on most any topic that will be helpful in supplementing the information in the book you buy -- click [here|http://developer.apple.com/iphone/index.action] to go there).
Keep in mind, however, that trying to learn to program iPhone apps will be difficult (to say the least) if you don't already know Objective-C, and the Apress book I recommended above will not be easy to follow without understanding Objective-C first. Objective-C an object-oriented extension of C, and it is the programming language that is used to develop iOS apps (apps for the iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad). I would definitely recommend learning Objective-C on the Mac before jumping in to iPhone development in specific. Apress has another book called "Learn Objective-C on the Mac" that I would recommend for this.
Furthermore, since Objective-C is an extension of C, you won't have an easy time learning it without a prior understanding of the C programming language. Again, Apress has a book for this, called "Learn C on the Mac."
Put simply, learning to program for the iPhone is not something that comes overnight -- it's a step-by-step process that takes patience, and you have to be willing to go through these steps if you want to learn to program properly for the iPhone.
Step 1 -- learn the C programming language
Step 2 -- learn the Objective-C programming language
Step 3 -- apply your knowledge to developing for iOS (iPhone's operating system) with the Cocoa Touch framework
Anyways, that's just my advice -- I definitely recommend taking the time to do it right and not jumping straight into the deep end, but in the end only you know what works best for you. Also, like I said, I definitely think investing in a book on the subject is worth the time and money, so let me know if you want any other recommendations for books beyond the ones listed above.
Hope this was helpful to you, and best of luck with your journey toward programming for iOS.

Interface builder and xcode

ok, im a complete newbie to xcode and interface builder,
so, wen i try to make a connection for a new outlet and click 'files owner', all it shows is 'delegate', instead of files tat i hav in my resource folder, or the files im supposed to hav, anyone could help me on this? it would be appreciated greatly, thx

Hello joshup7 & welcome to the forums...
Generally speaking, you first need to properly specify items in your templates/code (*.m & *.h files) in Xcode and then they will show up when making connections in IB. Who/what/where/why depends on your specific code, naming conventions, etc.
See this page from Apple:
http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptua l/IB_UserGuide/Introduction/Introduction.html
And this sample/tutorial that should cover the basics:
http://www.iphonesdkarticles.com/2008/07/first-iphone-application.html
...see the section on 'Connecting Instance Variables'.

If I press (Continue) and then try to create any fields which need text, such as a label or button, I get the exact same alert window, and nothing "appears to work" as far as getting past this.
Some background...
I have no problems like this on my PPC development platform, just on my Intel-based system.
Configuration:
Intel hardware, 1.6 Ghz, 2GB, Mac OS/X 10.5.7
Originally I installed the the devtools from: xcode3122621developerdvd.dmg
and the 2.0 or 2.1 iPhone SDK, but never used Interface Builder (long story)
When the final SDK for 3.0 came out, I installed that from:
iphonesdk_3.0_leopard_9m2736final.dmg
A few days ago, I said, OK, enough reading, I'm ready to start on my application, and fired up Xcode, created a new project and double-clicked on the .xib file to build my interface.
That's when I first saw this problem... and now I'm stuck.
What I've done since...
#1) Deleted prefs for Interface Builder (ibtool), and XCode
retried... same error
#2) wiped /developer clean and resinsatlled from iphonesdk_3.0_leopard_9m2736final.dmg
retried... same error
retried #1, retried, same error
#3) ran /Volumes/Olórin/Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=all
rebooted
checked international to make sure US/English was selected
repaired disk permissions
rebooted
verified, no prefs files in ~/Library/Preferences or /Library/Preferences
retried... same error
HELP!!!

I was about to post a reply which included the entire crash log for details... and saw this line:
7/21/09 12:44:16 AM [0x0-0x28028].com.apple.InterfaceBuilder3[269] Couldn't read font cache (file://localhost/Volumes/Olo%C3%83%C3%85rin/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator3.0. sdk/System/Library/.lilid/.lili).
The file is there, so why can't it read it... uh oh, not exactly
... I typed /Olórin/ not /Olo%C3%83%C3%83rin/
Apparently somewhere internal to Interface Builder, when it translates characters, it does it TWICE,
so instead of 'ó' (that's 'option-e o', we have 'o%C3%83%C3%83' which may have worked if it had
only been '%C3%83', without the extra o, or the extra %C3%83.
I am so glad I found this, but I'm furious at Apple for making me rebuild my development system 3 times!
...someone really needs to do better QA on a product used by so many users.
I changed the name of my disk from Olórin to Olorin and Interface Builder works fine!
The PROBLEM all along was the name of my development disk ! ! !
Someone at Apple, please NOTE!
Someone please tell me how to report this, and maybe get Apple to hire me even if just for better QA!

UITableViewCell and the Interface Builder

I'm trying to use the Interface Builder to create a UITableViewCell but am having problems.
I can create the UITableViewClass in my .xib file, connect the reference outlet and reuseIdentifier using the inspector. The problems occurs when I try and render the cell with this method...
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
Since the interface builder creates the TableViewCell automatically, I should be able to call...
UITableViewCell *cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero reuseIdentifier:@"priceCell"] autorelease];
..from inside the tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath method and get that cell instance. But none of changes (Color, accessory view, etc...) I made to the table view come through.
Has anyone got UITableViewCells created in the interface builder to work?

Just an update to inform people of some of my findings.
I had originally, before gkstuart's post, had added a UITableViewCell instance as a child of my view in IB. I then tried to use the cell via an IBOutlet in the UITableView in my view. This is when I was getting a completely blank screen when running my application. I then adopted gkstuart's idea and created a cell factory class, but without thinking, I used the same cell instance on each call to my 'newCell' method. Once I updated the 'newCell' method to load the nib file on each call to 'newCell' everything seems to work fine. As a note, the nib file loaded by 'newCell' is a simple nib file containing only my custom cell definition. It does not contain any views. Gkstuart's method of loading custom cells is unfortunate, because you can't seem to use the reusable cell theory when working with cells defined in IB. This is obviously something that needs work on Apple's side.
As a test, I removed my custom cell definition from my original view nib. I then added a new top level instance of UITableViewCell, by dragging the UITableViewCell item to the window with the File Owner icon. After updating the custom cell definition with the appropriate class and outlets, I tried my original method again. I no longer get a completely blank screen, but it still doesn't work right. I now get a single cell in my table view, which happens to be the last cell in the list. When looking at it with the debugger, dequeueReusableCell never returns my cell instance so I am reusing and returning the same cell for each call to 'cellAtIndexPath'. I tried to manually call the cells 'prepareForReuse' method but this didn't seem to have any affect.
So at this point, I am going to continue with the cell factory methodology until Apple either fixes the current problem or informs people on the proper way to use IB with custom UITableViewCell's.
As a side note, I am going to start blogging about my experiences with the iPhone SDK over at iphonesdktrialsandtribulations.blogger.com.

Looking for simple sample of iphone apps without using Interface Builder

I successfully went through the 'iphone app tutorial' and used Interface Builder, but now want to try creating apps without it.
The UI Catalog sample is too complex, but didn't see anything that just had a view and a button or label.
Ideally I want code that doesn't require any IB usage, but I can't tell if that is possible yet...
Anyone have a link to an easy sample?
Or has anyone created a test app themselves and wouldn't mind posting?
I took a stab at creating one and posted it on the "101" forum, but it would be hard for somebody to try and figure out what I was attempting
Thx for any links/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png
ps
I really need a good book, especially "cookbook" style

hey dear
I have one solution of your problem
just go to in iphone developer search for FAQ
In faq their is one section how to use prohramming in this you can see
the how to ceate label,button etc.
after that simply add the view or remove theview.

File's Owner does not show methods in Interface Builder 3.2.6 but the class is set correctly and the nib on the lower left is green

Hi, I'm trying to make my first IPhone app. After having problems with interface builder the first time I coppied the code directly from a tutorial in case I made any mistakes. I saved the program, and re-opened the .xib file. Right clicking File's Owner does not show a list of methods. I've been looking around for solutions for this but have not gotten anything to work. I tried deleting the default .xib and creating a new one through file-> new file. This did not help. I did notice that File's owner was showing up as a light blue cube apposed to a yellow one now and found that a bit odd but otherwise nothing changed. I opened the library menu and selected helloWorldiPhoneViewController so it would show up in the view port. I set the class field of File's Owner to hellowWorldiPhoneViewController. File's Owner still does not show methods when right clicked or when a line is dragged over a button. I read somewhere that the color of nib on the lower left of the viewport may indicate a problem, but it is green not indicating any issue. Every solution I found for someone else seems nto to work for me and I don't know how to continue.
here is the .h file just in case:
// HelloWorldViewController.h
// HelloWorld
// Created by Paul Peelen on 2011-03-14.
// Copyright 2011 9697271014. All rights reserved.
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
@interface HelloWorldViewController : UIViewController {
UILabel *textLabel;
@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UILabel *textLabel;
- (IBAction)changeTheTextOfTheLabel;
@end
I'm trying to connect changeTheTextOfTheLabel to a button and textLabel to a label

You need a parameter for an interface builder method. The type should be id and the name is typically "sender". It would look like this:
- (IBAction)changeTheTextOfTheLabel: (id) sender;
Be careful about those tutorials. Many are ancient and do not correspond to current Xcode behaviour.

What can I do ? Thank you very much!!!

I found this on stack overflow.com and thought it would apply to this article discussion for some users even though I don't understand how to revert the version (through git?)
I think this is a compatibility issue. I think the .xib has moved to Xcode 4 (as shown by the line setenv IBC_MINIMUM_COMPATIBILITY_VERSION 4.2) which Xcode 3.2's version of ibtooldoes not understand.
I think you need to revert to a version of the .xib prior to the update to Xcode 4.""

Interface Builder encountered an error communicating with the iPhone Simula

Hi,
I downloaded the latest iOS SDK and tried simple helloworld program. Once I try to build it in the xcode, it shows the following 2 errors. I tried to re-install the SDK several times, and it doesn't work.

I'm using 10.6.4 and having the same issue. Reinstalled the newest SDK a few times (Xcode 3.2.4 with 4.1 of the iOS SDK). I can't build anything to run on the iPhone Simulator, but building regular Mac apps works fine. Here's what it tells me when I try to build and run:

IPhone Interface Builder Tutorials???

New to Objective-C, X-code, etc. and now that Interface Builder came out for the iPhone SDK, I can't seem to find any information at all on how to use it (it does not seem to integrate with X-code as I have found in non-iPhone development work with X-code and IB.
Could someone please suggest or direct me to websites, videos, or books that would help a complete novice use this tool? Thanks.

Thanks for the reference.
I have to say the process using IB is very intuitive - NOT.
I've been reading an older O'Reilly Cocoa book and it makes at least some sense and seems to be integrated with X-code for Mac development without tweaking the default code. I see a steep learning curve ahead as heavy use of secret right-clicks and unintuitive dragging are usually to be frowned upon except for folks who have already climbed that mountain (if you even know why you're doing it .
I hope more is coming from Apple.

Manual coding vs. Interface Builder - iPhone

I have most of an app done with IB and I've managed to get things to work mostly, but I did have a lot of problems with UIDatePicker and could only get it to work properly when creating it manually.
I have some other strange bugs, like the Delete button sometimes animating accross the top of the window rather than on the row it's supposed to and based on my experience with the date picker, I don't know if that's a problem with my code or with using IB.
Also, most of the sample code seems to create things manually.
So, am I better off using Interface Builder for my iPhone apps, or creating everything manually in code? At this point I'm leaning towards doing everything manually.

A lot of the sample code creates elements programmatically because Interface Builder didn't exist early in the beta. Others (like UICatalog) do it to make the view heirarchy more obvious.
I usually recommend using Interface Builder wherever possible. Remember, there's nothing stopping you from altering IB-created views in your viewDidLoad method; just add outlets for the views you need to customize and connect them as needed. In my experience, it's usually easier to move parts of an application away from IB when you need to do so than it is to move them to IB to make them easier to maintain; working with pure code encourages certain design patterns (like not-really-needed view subclasses and custom constructors to avoid repetitive initialization code) that don't really play well with IB.

Using interface builder to create a table view and add a cell

So I am using interface builder to make a table view. Should be easy. I drag a table view controller to my view, then it seems I should be able to drag a table view cell to the table view but it won't let me drop it down. If I do it in the documents window it just replaces the table view with a cell. Seems like this shouldn't be hard, but it's one of those things that should take 2 seconds but I have been messing with it for hours. It seems like most of the examples I have looked at in the same code don't use iB so I haven't found a good reference. If somebody can point me in the write direction let me know.

I struggled a bit too. Here's what I did on my recently completed app. I used IB to create the basic view and add the table. That's it. Then ensure your UIViewController based class implements the UITableViewDelegate and UITableViewDataSource protocols. Your cells will come from those methods, not anything you do in IB.
If you're creating a set of screens that just have tables that allow you to navigate up and down through the data then IB isn't worth using at all.
Just have your views extends UITableViewController and follow some of the supplied table based example apps.
I rewrote my first app 3 times as I slowly figured all of this out.
Hope that helps.

I am new to xCode and SDK Disks. My Interface Builder will not work and 'quit's unexpecteldy'. What can I do? I really want to create an applicaiton. Thanks

Hi, I am a new user to xCode and just recently downloaded a SDK Disk image and also an older version of xCode from the Apple Developer site. I opened the 'Interface Builder' for the first time and it worked. Next, when I tried to open it again (with and without the xCode 'Mainmenu.xib' attachment file from xCode) it kept showing the message "it quit unexpectedly".
I need to create an application for a project I am working on. If anyone who can resolve my problem of why the Interface Builder is not working, that will be great.
If you need additional details (like which versions etc.) please ask, for I am desperate to find an adequate solution to this problem.
Thanks.

If you need additional details (like which versions etc.) please ask, for I am desperate to find an adequate solution to this problem.
Without intending any disrespect, if you had suspected these would be questions and if you're in a hurry for an answer, then why did you exclude the information? And yes, knowing the Mac OS X version (preferably Mac OS X 10.5.8 or 10.6.7) , as well as the Xcode version might shed some light on this. Might. And I'll presume there's a specific reason you downloaded what I will assume is an Xcode3 version.
Was this an existing Xcode project, or did you start with a new project here? If it's an existing project, it could well have a corruption or an incompatibility.
Initially, I'd probably start with a new project, and load in newly-copied source files. On the off chance the project is corrupted.
Failing that, I'd deinstall Xcode using the documented procedures, and would then reload it. If there was an old version of Xcode around on the system, sometimes wonky stuff can happen with an installation.
And FWIW, the Apple Developer Forums and the Apple mailing lists tend to see far more developer-related traffic than do these particular forums. (There's an Xcode users' mailing list around which sees regular traffic, too.)
