First time poster here...but been using StackOverflow for solutions whenever I get stuck.. ton of great information here! I will try to describe the question as thoroughly as I can and hope someone can help me out with it. I need to generate a PDF in Swift and present it on an iPad, so i decided to use TPPDF for the PDF generation and then Apple's PDFKit to present it.
TPPDF has been working great for me, however, I ran into an issue where if I create a PDFTable with an enough amount of rows, it overflows into the next page without creating a new table. The last row gets cut off about 1/3 way and the other 2/3 is generated on the next page. This creates a weird visual effect which i'd rather not have if it's possible.
I've been reading through the documentation as well as sifting through the source code to try and figure out if there's a way but I can't find a decent workaround. The only workaround I can think of is splitting up the content and creating multiple PDFTables on new pages (using the createNewPage() method). This would take a good amount of rework in my code so I wanted to post it here to see if anyone has come across this and come up with a solution.
I appreciate any help!!

thanks for asking, this is actually an on-going issue which occured after adding the merge-cell feature. This is discussed in issue #243, so you take a closer look at what's going on there.

I have searched a lot and tried several approaches. I believe I am doing something wrong as I am unable to have code from gist in the medium plataform bloggers.
I have only get the links on there but the code does not show or is not integrate. I have tried all the modalities of gist share code possible and paste using the embedded option in medium.
For example,
https://gist.github.com/GMoneyAccount/84fb1a9836aa91054e1714ac9d176630
https://gist.github.com/GMoneyAccount/84fb1a9836aa91054e1714ac9d176630.js">

https://gist.github.com/SumeraMartin/6369e704caffa8bacdaa859a1bec8b7d
This code does not show in the medium.
What I am missing? I have looked how people do but does not work for me for some reason and also I have changed from google to firefox and nothing changed.
The vendor that they use for processing embeds is currently down. You can watch the status of the incident here: http://status.embed.ly/
So, basically, the way you are doing it isn't a problem. You'll just have to wait until the incident resolves.
Cheers.
I'm currently developing an App in Flutter which i need to display 3D models. I know. Flutter is, at least at the moment, not the best choice (or shouldn't be even a choice) to build 3d apps but unfortunately i didn't know this when i started developing. I managed to render a simple '.obj' file with a simple engine I found on the internet:
https://levelup.gitconnected.com/a-simple-3d-engine-in-flutter-cc4a7edc943e
Now my problem:
My app needs to contain multiple hundred 3D models so I need to reduce the app's size. I experimented with openCTM to compress my '.obj' models and got a good result.
Now i want to display these '.ctm' files in my app. And thats the point where I got stuck.
I've researched for days if there's a sample or a tutorial to solve my problem but I haven't found one.
I've read the official openCTM documents and found openCtm reader ported to javascript (https://github.com/jcmellado/js-openctm) and dart (https://github.com/nelsonsilva/dart-openctm). And now I dont know where to begin.
I guess I need to, if my problem is solvable in flutter, modify the engine im currently using and add the openCTM reading part to it.
I hope that anyone of you can help me with my problem. Maybe even solved it already. Furthermore I hope I explained my problem clear enough.
If you can provide a native solution it would helpful, too.
Thank you in advance!
i'm looking to rebuild the MPMediaPicker from scratch (it's using my own song/artist data).
Does anyone know of an open source and free replacement for this? I'd really like to avoid creating all those views/etc
I've found PSMediaPicker, but it's $100.
I could have sworn I came across one - but I'm unable to find it anywhere.
If you are creating one for your own song/artist data then I would highly recommend just creating your own. If it is for music then it wouldn't really be much more than a modal view with some UITableViews in it, and since you know how the data is organized it shouldn't take long to get it up and running.
Bottom line - t will probably take you longer to find and integrate a suitable replacement than it would to just roll your own.
I'm writing an app, where I the user has to be able to select multiple adresses. I wanted to solve this in the same way, apple does when you send an SMS to someone.
You can enter text and it gets surrounded by a blue bubble for each adress selected.
I've already found facebook's tree20-kit, but I can't get it to work because of some linker error I cannot solve.
Is there any other kit out there, that's capable of doing this, or do you have any suggestions on how to create such a textField?
Yours,
Bujtor
Interesting. I don't know of any other open source solutions for this, and I think writing from scratch would be much more time consuming than trying to resolve the linker error. I would recommend spending a few hours and do the following:
Create a new empty application.
Download Three20 and follow the detailed instructions on GitHub for linking the framework.
You should be able to get this to link as many others, including myself, have been able to use this framework.
Sorry this isn't a straight forward answer to your question. I hope it was helpful just the same. Andrew.
We we wondering what are some ways developers have added a help function to their apps. What are some techniques people have used?
One way we were thinking of is to us UIWebView to display a HTML file with help instructions.
Thoughts appreciated.
I'm using UIWebView right now which pretty much contains all the help in a single page, along with some JQuery things to display popups, etc. But I like the way iCab Mobile (et al.) are doing things which is a sectioned UITableView with each row a separate topic or section within their overall help information (complete with icons...) then in their bundle they have each section in its own html file, organized by localization.
Another thing in my queue for the next release is to provide a dynamic "News" view. The rough idea is as follows... I have on my server a file or CGI where I can place small bits of news I'd like to push out to users. On startup, my app checks for network availability and if present, start a thread to see if anything has changed on the server since last updating the News data. If changes present, post an alert letting user know, and asking if they'd like to read it now. At that point, the latest news is already downloaded and cached, so they can simply read it later if they want, and I won't post anymore alerts until the server file changes again. (And one could add a preference/setting to disable these alerts.)
I'm thinking this would be a good way to let people know that some nasty bug is known and fixed and an update is sitting in the queue, solicit beta testers, promote upcoming features or other apps, etc. I can see where constant alerts everytime I've got something new to promote would get annoying, so having a setting to disable them means the user never has to read them unless they want to. Although some kind of override to warn of recently discovered/fixed bugs seems sensible.
FWIW, the author of Mover+/Mover has just started doing a similar thing, though I think Emanuele is perhaps only showing one Notelet at a time, whereas I envision a bit more of a history (shown in UIWebView) until I decide to age stuff off the bottom of the stack.
I'm using a scroll/page view to show several images containing small notes. Each image then tells the user about the more advanced functions on a specific part of the app.
In my opinion the help should only contain information that isn't a 100% relevant for the use of the application. It should be things the advanced user should use to make more use of the app. It should contain gold for the power users. The "basics" should be so obvious that no help would ever be needed. If that's not the case, I think, you've failed as a developer on the iPhone platform.
(Here's a screen shot from my demo app)
I'm currently creating a fairly complicated app. I'm thinking of doing help as a semi-transparent overlay - help in text form is hard to swallow for users; it's much more helpful to just point at stuff and say "this does that".
