I want to add reminder functionality in my iphone app, I came to know that I need to use local notification but I don't want to use it.
So is there any way to fulfill my need ??
UILocalNotification is a nice thing but if you don't want to use it you can make use of EventKit that gives you access to device's reminders.
Create EventStore object with reminder type.
EKEventStore *store = [[EKEventStore alloc] initWithAccessToEntityTypes:EKEntityMaskReminder];
Get access from user.
[store requestAccessToEntityType:EKEntityTypeReminder completion:^(BOOL granted, NSError *error) {
// handle access here }];
use this function to create reminders
+ (EKReminder *)reminderWithEventStore:(EKEventStore *)eventStore
Refer documentation for more details .
There is an another way, other than using the local notification, see my answer posted hear in this u set an event in the calendar and set the repeat settings by setting alarm.
Hope this helps you.
If you don't want to use UILocal notification use EKEventStore for adding reminders in iPhone Calendar. You can add your alarm, events etc in iPhone Calendar.
But remember it supports only iOS 6.0 or later. you cannot change in iPhone calendar in lower iOS6.0 version

I have searched for this, and I can't find any documentation about doing these banner / notification / alerts... but I would really like to implement it.
In case my description in words is not clear, here is a picture of what I would like to do:
1:
I tried using this code:
UILocalNotification *note = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init];
[note setAlertBody:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%# scanned", result]];
[note setAlertAction:#"New Scanned Image"];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] presentLocalNotificationNow:note];
And it worked fine, such that it displayed the notification in the notifications center, but there was no banner alert.
So what are the classes that I use for this?
Thanks!
You can't define what type of alert to be used for your app's notifications. It can be set only by user through Notification Center settings.
Note! Alerts appear only when you app is closed or it is in background. If your app is active (it is in foreground), it will get only a notification (see - (void)applicationDidReceiveMemoryWarning: for details).
I have implemented one reminder iphone applicaion in which I have used local notification for reminder.
In this application their one functionality alert on/off.
So when user set on then user get notification and if its off then user can get notification.
I have done googling but not got sucess.
Can you give me idea for that is it possible or not.
Thanks in advance
Do you have other notifications in your appln.
If you don't have other notification in your app than,
Do one thing,
When you set OFF
- cancel all the notification
- calculate the time difference of current time & your notification firing time. set this in to some variable.
when you set it ON
- reschedule your Notification based on the time which you have saved earlier.
I am considering that you know how UISwitch works, according to switch position
UILocalNotification *localNotif;
//if switch is on
localNotif = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init];
//else if localNotif is not equal to null then
localNotif = nil;
You can start a timer which continuously check switch position and do the above stuff that depends on your coding.
Is it only me or did Apple break the UILocalNotification mechanism in iOS5 (GM + public release)? It seemed to work fine in the betas but since GM only the sound plays back, no alert is shown (yes I have checked the Notification Settings and the app is all on ON).
I've also made a small separate project (with a brand new app identifier just to be on the safe side), and tested the UILocalNotification class with some very simple code, on the order of:
UILocalNotification *singleLocalPush = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init];
singleLocalPush.fireDate = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow:15];
singleLocalPush.hasAction = YES;
singleLocalPush.alertBody = #"Alert Body";
singleLocalPush.alertAction = #"Alert Action";
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:singleLocalPush];
anyone experience similar problems? This is pretty annoying if your app IS about local notifications :)
Best,

You should make sure your app is enabled for notifications-
Navigate to Setting->Notifications and make sure your app is enabled.
My app's local notifications work fine on iOS 5, and it was set to be deployed to 3.1.2.
How to add Event in iPhone Calendar. I just want to add events in iPhone calendar using my application and wants to set pushnotification for perticuler event. Please help me out on this. Thank you.
To create an Event programmatically, you would use EventKit, more specifically the provided EKEventEditViewController. See the Apple documentation for an explanation and sample code.
In iOS 4.0+, you would also be able to access that controller without writing any EventKit code. To do that, use a UITextView configured with dataDetectorTypes = UIDataDetectorTypeCalendarEvent. The UITextView will automatically convert strings representing formatted dates, days of the week, etc. - to clickable URLs that handle the creation of events.
Please refer to the Apple iOS documentation for the rest of your question. If there is anything specific that doesn't work in your case, please post some code, show us what you have tried already, etc.
you can use this code
EKEventStore *es = [[EKEventStore alloc] init];
EKEventEditViewController *controller = [[EKEventEditViewController alloc] init];
controller.eventStore = es;
controller.editViewDelegate = self;
[self presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];
[controller release];
my original title was How to customize TTMessageController for SMS transmission?. I changed this now because I look for any possible solution and not only those with TTMessageController.
Well, I am working on an simple application in xcode4. The user should be able to send SMS from different SMS gateways.
The background logic is quite simple because everything is managed by executing some http requests on an rest api.
The hard thing for me now is to setup the UI and that is where I need help because I am new to iOS development. This is how I want it to be:
http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/3159/bhrfe.png
There should be a recipient picker to either do autosearch on contacts or to directly pick a contact from the contact list. Beside I want only one recipient. And there should be a text area.
I also want to have a label somewhere at the bottom to show the current char number.
Since I did not find those UI elements in xcode4 library I searched for something similar and I found the TTMessageController which gives me the view you see in the picture.
However plus button does not work and I am not sure how to extend all this to do what I want.
I appreciate any idea on this.
For the + Button you can use the address book UI:
// This Code is taken from Apple's sample code QuickContacts
#import <AddressBookUI/AddressBookUI.h>
-(void)showPeoplePickerController {
ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *picker = [[ABPeoplePickerNavigationController alloc] init];
picker.peoplePickerDelegate = self;
// Display only a person's phone, email, and birthdate
NSArray *displayedItems = [NSArray arrayWithObject:[NSNumber numberWithInt:kABPersonPhoneProperty]];
picker.displayedProperties = displayedItems;
// Show the picker
[self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
[picker release];
}
The <ABPeoplePickerNavigationControllerDelegate> delegate include this methods:
– peoplePickerNavigationController:shouldContinueAfterSelectingPerson:
– peoplePickerNavigationController:shouldContinueAfterSelectingPerson:property:identifier:
– peoplePickerNavigationControllerDidCancel:
After selecting a person you can save his/her number in an array and in the text field (e.g. comma separated)
.
For the question if it will be approved here is the guideline:

You can't use TTMessageController to send sms. The only possible way to send sms is to use MFMessageComposeViewController. Here's a tutorial on how to use it: http://blog.mugunthkumar.com/coding/iphone-tutorial-how-to-send-in-app-sms/
