multitasking

I'd like to make my app use the audio buttons on the lock screen while multitasking. (Yes, like Pandora.) What API am I looking to use? See the Remote Control of Multimedia docs. Basically, you just need to call -beginReceivingRemoteControlEvents on your shared application instance, then register something (probably your main view controller) as the first responder and implement the -remoteControlReceivedWithEvent: method on it. You will get events both from the lock-screen controls and from the headset clicker, as well as the control buttons to the left of the multitasking drawer. To play

I'm making an alarm clock app with multitasking support. However, I'm stuck with some limitations of the sdk. I need to play selected alarm sound whenever the alarm time comes with some properties set by the user. These properties: - Alarm sound can be a music from the user's iPod library, and also some sound files in application bundle. - Alarm sound can be set to play as progressive. Moreover, alarm sound must be played in background in a loop until the user cancels or wakes the app. First logical thing that came to my mind was to use local notifications, but with local notifications you can

Is it possible to run an application from inside another application? What I want to do is write an app which allows you to chose an app to start, and then displays the activities of this app inside a view. So in landscape mode, it should look something like this: The idea behind this is: I want to be able to start and run a third party activity next to my own activity, and I want to be able to create individual makros with my activity that are controlling the third party activity. Basically, something like this: Start third party activity from inside my app Start makro recording Do something

I my testing, when I exit (by pressing the home button) my app, it still is "running" in the background, thanks to the multitasking feature. However, I would like it to quit when the home button is pressed. Is this only happening to me? Anyway, I have tracked it down to the applicationWillResignActive and the applicationDidBecomeActive methods in the app delegate. These get called for multitasking, but when I want to terminate, the app "resigns active." Any guidance on this issue is greatly appreciated! Your application can opt out of multitasking (see the appropriate section in the iPhone

Iam using an iPhone app chat uses socket connection to communicate with the server. When the app is moved to background i can see that the server is able to communicate with the app for about 5 minutes. But after this time, the socket connection is destroyed. But the app stops executing as soon as it moves to background.Why is it that the socket connection is maintained for 5 minutes but not the app execution.Does apple specify the exact time for which the connection would be maintained.

I want my app to reload data as soon as the app switches from the background to the foreground. Thats my code: DataAppDelegate.h #import <UIKit/UIKit.h> #import "DataViewController.h" @class DataViewController; @interface DataAppDelegate : NSObject <UIApplicationDelegate> { UIWindow *window; DataViewController *viewController; } @property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIWindow *window; @property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet DataViewController *viewController; @end AppDelegate.m #import "DataAppDelegate.h" #import "DataViewController.h" @implementation DataAppDelegate @synthesize window;

I would like my UITableView to reloadData once my app is active again, after a user exits the application. I know I need to implement (in my app delegate): - (void)applicationDidBecomeActive:(UIApplication *)application but im not sure how to reference the current UITableView? UPDATE: My UITableView is a separate controller. It is actually presented as follows AppDelegate > Root View Controller > Pushes UITabBarController modally which has a UITableViewController Aaron Saunders following up on Ole's answer above add this when initializing the viewcontroller [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter

I am working on an app for iOS 4.0. The app was originally on 2.2.1. I upgraded it to a universal app, but now it seems to be multitasking. When I press the menu button while running the app, instead of exiting it closes, but when I relaunch the app it resumes where I left off. I am assuming this is multitasking. I want it to exit, is there a way in the settings? My guess is that the iPad target upgrade changed the plist somehow? Any thoughts?
