How can I get my NSDate to display in the format for example i.e "Tue Feb 26, 2011" Matthias Bauch Do it right. Don't hardcode your date formats. There are countries that are not your country and they might have different date formats. So if you want to show this date to the user you should use a method that takes the users locale into account. You could use the dateFormatFromTemplate:options:locale: method introduced in iOS4 to get the appropriate format with all the information you want. And if you have to support iOS < 4 you should create a plist with this template method to create the

I'm testing out the MapKit framework on the iPhone and would really much like to switch the standard pin that displays a location to an image called "location.png". How can I modify my code to allow that? Maincontroller - (void)viewDidLoad { [super viewDidLoad]; // // Set the map center // CLLocationCoordinate2D coordinate; coordinate.latitude = 49.2802; coordinate.longitude = -123.1182; mapView.region = MKCoordinateRegionMakeWithDistance(coordinate, 2000, 2000); // // Set 10 random locations on the map for testing purposes // for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { CGFloat latDelta = rand()*.035/RAND

Using this method to hide the status bar: [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES animated:YES]; When setting "hidden" back to NO, the tap-to-scroll-to-top (in UIWebView, UITableView, whatever) doesn't work any more, and requires a restart of the app to get the functionality back. Is this a bug (I filed a rdar anyhow) or have I missed a step? Should I perhaps expect this behavior since the statusBar "loses touch" somehow with the respective view? You could try setting the ScrollsToTop property to true again after re-showing it: [currentView setScrollsToTop:YES]; If that's not

I am not able to Hide the iphone Camera shutter opening animation for my app. I am using UIImagePickerController to access iphone camera and using my own overlay controllers. Is there a way to remove the initial shutter(also known as Iris) animation as the camera starts. Thank You [EDIT] For those who wants to know the way to change the camera iris animation. The below function is called before the camera iris animation starts. - (void)navigationController:(UINavigationController *)navigationController willShowViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController animated:(BOOL)animated { // Here

In my app I have a table view with customViewCells. I subclassed the UITableViewCell class and added an image that will load async and for the text I use cell.textLabel.text = @"someThext" . For the cells the background color is set alternatively to [UIColor darkGrayColor] and [UIColor whiteColor] . When I run the app in the simulator and on the phone the textLabel of the cell has the background white. I want to set it to be clear, because I want the background color of the cell to be full not a strip then white then another strip. In the init method of my custom cell I added, hoping that the

There are some section in the table that does not contain any data and would like to hide that section. How to do this? You can't "hide" a section as such, but you can "delete" it from the table view using the deleteSections:withRowAnimation: method. This will remove it from the view, with an optional animation, without affecting your backing data. (You should, however, update the data anyway so that the section doesn't reappear.) More info: UITableView class reference Actually, you can "hide" a section. If you want to use a similar behaviour to the built-in contacts app, where sections are
