In the past, there was only the facility to include fonts already bundled with your device. Now however, Apple have responded to feedback and given access to developers to add new custom fonts to their application. Custom fonts can obviously provide a much higher level of customisation in your app! Custom fonts are something that, [...]
I recently came across the need to use gradients in an app and I realised that I had two options. Create an image of the gradient in Photoshop and place it into a UIImageView or create a dynamic UIView that draws a gradient into it. I decided to go for the latter, because I’d need [...]
I’ve previously hit on the need to use a custom UITableViewCell, though I’ve always shied away from it because of project time constraints and the assumption that it would take some sweet time to perfect. Well… as it turns out I was wrong. It’s easy! Create in X-Code If you create a new file in [...]
So err… this has been killing me for a while. The keyboard on my UIModalPresentationFormSheet would not Fuck Off! The problem I presented a modal view controller with a modalPresentationStyle of UIModalPresentationFormSheet, but further to that, my view controller was presented within a UINavigationController. Here’s a quote from Apple: [with regard to UIModalPresentationFormSheet] To avoid [...]

So I want to send the variable ‘variableName’ to my modal view controller. In order to do this, I first need to allow [...]

This module covered OpenGL, the full version, witih C++ etc. So I always thought I’d been able to understand OpenGL ES which is much the same; I was wrong. There’s a slightly different way to do things in OpenGL ES and, [...]
In my newest iteration of my UIWebView app, I want to jump on any file that is .pdf and disable opening it. Revisiting the Delegate In the previous post, I set the delegate of my UIWebView. This is essential as we are now going to use another delegate specific method that initiates AFTER a link is [...]
I’ve created an app where you can swipe left and right to progress through a video. The aim of this app was to make it seem as little like a video as I could. Setting Up Your MPMoviePlayerController The first thing I had to do was to set up my Video player. I used pretty [...]
Another Day, Another App I suppose. This App is basically going to hold and play a video. Nothing More. Here’s my process. MediaPlayer Framework Now, MPMoviePlayerController isn’t part of UIKit (the framework that initially serves your apps from creation in X-Code) so the first thing to do is add the Framework to your project. Ctrl [...]
I’m at the point in my UIWebView App where I would like to make it appear and feel as little like a web-app as possible. I want it to feel like it was made fully in Objective-C as opposed to only partly. Bounce No More The first thing I want to do is to remove [...]
