uidevice

Outside of asking the user to input their name, is there any way to get it off the device? I tried this library, which attempts to extract the name from [UIDevice currentDevice] name] , but that doesn't work in a lot of situations: https://github.com/tiboll/TLLNameFromDevice Is the user's name present in the phonebook or anywhere else that we have access to in iOS 6? rckoenes Well you could go through all the contacts in the AddressBook and see if any of them are marked with the owner flag. Just be aware that doing this will popup the "this app wants access to the address book" message. Also

I have a toggle in my app that's "download on WiFi only". However, that toggle is useless for iPod touch or WiFi-iPads. Is there a way to know if the device has cellular data capabilities in code? Something that would work in the future would be great too (like if an iPod touch 5th gen with 3G comes out). bentech Hi you should be able to check if it has the pdp_ip0 interface #import <ifaddrs.h> - (bool) hasCellular { struct ifaddrs * addrs; const struct ifaddrs * cursor; bool found = false; if (getifaddrs(&addrs) == 0) { cursor = addrs; while (cursor != NULL) { NSString *name = [NSString

As per the title. Calling [[UIDevice currentDevice] BeginGeneratingDeviceOrientationNotifications] has no effect. DidRotateToInterfaceOrientation etc events are working fine, but I need to be able to poll the device orientation arbitrarily. How can I fix/do this? The long story: I have a tab application with a navigation controller on each tab. The root view of tab number one is a graph that goes full screen when the orientation changes to landscape; however this needs to be checked whenever the view appears as the orientation change could have occurred elsewhere, so I was hoping to poll the

Hi I have an app and I have two *.pngs for default splash screen: Default-Landscape.png Default-Portrait.png What I want is to animate this default splash screen away when my app is loaded and ready to go. To achieve this I would normally present an UIImageView with either default-landscape or default-portrait (depending on the device orientation), keep it on screen for a certain time and then animate it away. My problem is that if I call [[UIDevice currentDevice] orientation] in - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions { The

I have an application that needs to get the list of installed (other, maybe third party) applications on the device. How can it be done? Or can it be done at all? rishi I doubt if something is available(if some iphone is jailbreaked and user can access file system, then it will be possible, but i am not aware of this.), but you can use following link and with the help of this you can check what all app are present and you can customize with some of your needs. You could scan all your apps through apple private framework "MobileInstallationInstall". The method is like below: NSDictionary

I have a question on how to detect the device orientation on iOS. I don't need to receive change notifications, just the current orientation itself. This seems to be a rather simple question, but I haven't been able to wrap my head around it. Below is what I have done so far: UIDevice *myDevice = [UIDevice currentDevice] ; [myDevice beginGeneratingDeviceOrientationNotifications]; UIDeviceOrientation deviceOrientation = myDevice.orientation; BOOL isCurrentlyLandscapeView = UIDeviceOrientationIsLandscape(deviceOrientation); [myDevice endGeneratingDeviceOrientationNotifications]; In my mind this
