UIKit NIB not loading in bundle - iphone

NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Could not load NIB in bundle: 'NSBundle </Users/quantum/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/6.1/Applications/19503C82-22E2-4787-A4F5-8D83EDD5D58B/foo.app> (loaded)' with name '_UIDocumentActivityViewController''
I'm creating a QLPreviewController, presenting it to show a PDF. I then tap the share button. It crashes.
I downloaded Apple's Document Interaction example project. I put my PDF fetching class into there, fetched a PDF, display it.. and it works. No crash on the share button. Both are for targets 6.1. I tried setting Apple's code to target iPad only like my project. Their code works, mine doesn't, and I'm baffled. From the error message it sounds like a bug in the SDK but I can't pinpoint it.
Have you seen this before?
QLPreviewController *previewController = [[QLPreviewController alloc] init];
[previewController setDataSource:self];
[previewController setDelegate:self];
[self presentViewController:previewController animated:YES completion:^{}];
#pragma mark QLPreviewControllerDataSource
- (NSInteger) numberOfPreviewItemsInPreviewController:(QLPreviewController *)controller {
return 1;
}
- (id <QLPreviewItem>)previewController:(QLPreviewController *)controller previewItemAtIndex:(NSInteger)index {
return [NSURL fileURLWithPath:self.pdfPath];
}
I tried removing the reference to the framework, deleting derived data, cleaning the project, readding the QuickLook framework. I did show in Finder in both Apple's project & mine & they have the same path.
And same thing occurs when I use a UIDocumentInteractionController.
That little overlay with the email/print etc options is not loading in my project.

Apple support provided me with the answer.
I had over ridden an init method in a category and this screwed up the class initialization.
Moral: don't override init in a category method.

just try for initwithnib
QLPreviewController *previewController = [[QLPreviewController alloc] initWithNib: (QLPreviewController) bundle : nil];
hopefully it works.

if you have used NavigationController then use:
QLPreviewController *previewController = [[QLPreviewController alloc] init];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:previewController animated:YES];
else
QLPreviewController *previewController = [[QLPreviewController alloc] init];
[self presentModalViewController:previewController animated:YES];

According to Apple's documentation QL generators should not have NIB files as resources.
Although a Quick Look generator does not (and should not) have nib files as resources, you can add other resources if necessary.

How to open settings from our app in ios5.1? [duplicate]

Looks like iOS 5.1 has broken the standard URL encoding for navigating a user to a Preference.
For example:
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"prefs:root=TWITTER"]];
Works in iOS 5.0 but not in iOS 5.1 (both device and simulator).
Has anyone found a way to replicate this functionality in iOS 5.1?
It is little tricky , i get by the removing the subviews in *TWTWeetComposeViewController*, so it shows only alert when user is not loged in and by the clicking on setting button , we can open Setting page in my app.
+ (void)setAlertForSettingPage :(id)delegate
{
// Set up the built-in twitter composition view controller.
TWTweetComposeViewController *tweetViewController = [[TWTweetComposeViewController alloc] init];
// Create the completion handler block.
[tweetViewController setCompletionHandler:^(TWTweetComposeViewControllerResult result) {
[delegate dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}];
// Present the tweet composition view controller modally.
[delegate presentModalViewController:tweetViewController animated:YES];
//tweetViewController.view.hidden = YES;
for (UIView *view in tweetViewController.view.subviews){
[view removeFromSuperview];
}
}
here , delegate is your viewcontroller , if you are using this method inside your viewcontroller just use self instead of delegate.
EDIT: If you get any deprecated errors, use the following iOS6 compatible code instead:
- (void)setAlertForSettingPage
{
// Set up the built-in twitter composition view controller.
SLComposeViewController *tweetViewController = [SLComposeViewController composeViewControllerForServiceType:SLServiceTypeTwitter];
// Present the tweet composition view controller modally.
[self presentViewController:tweetViewController animated:YES completion:nil];
for (UIView *view in tweetViewController.view.subviews){
[view removeFromSuperview];
}
}
No I don’t know a way to replicate this functionality.
But what you can do is file a Radar requesting the restoration. Here is a radar requesting that the schemes be documented in the first place.
David Barnard has confirmed that iOS 5.1 breaks the settings apps URL schemes.
Update: iOS 8 has similar functionality for opening your app’s settings. Thanks Apple, Mike and Soto_iGhost.
The constant UIApplicationOpenSettingsURLString (UIApplication Documentation) will open the settings for your app and not, say Twitter’s settings. Not exactly the same functionality but much cleaner than before and now officially recognized.
This should be extra useful now that each app has a place in Settings for using privacy, cellular data, background app refresh and notifications.
you can do this.
TWTweetComposeViewController *ctrl = [[TWTweetComposeViewController alloc] init];
if ([ctrl respondsToSelector:#selector(alertView:clickedButtonAtIndex:)]) {
// Manually invoke the alert view button handler
[(id <UIAlertViewDelegate>)ctrl alertView:nil
clickedButtonAtIndex:0];
}
If you look in Twitter's framework (that Twitter view controller), it has "prefs:root=TWITTER" inside, 5.1 also has this line. So probably Apple made something to disable it for other apps, like some special key in plist or method "openURL" somehow checks if it's not a system app.

iOS Universal App - Access different Nibs for iPad and iPhone

I am writing my first universal app, I have converted my nibs so that there are iPad and iPhone versions.
The iPad version is in the Resources-iPad folder and called 'InfoViewController-iPad.xib'. The iPhone version in the main folder and called 'InfoViewController.xib'
I have the following action to show the relevant xib
-(void) touchesBegan: (NSSet *) touches withEvent: (UIEvent *) event {
if (UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad)
{
infoViewController = [[InfoViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"Resources-iPad/InfoViewController-iPad" bundle:nil];
}
else
{
infoViewController = [[InfoViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"InfoViewController" bundle:nil];
}
infoViewController.delegate = self;
infoViewController.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleCrossDissolve;
[self presentModalViewController:infoViewController animated:YES];
[infoViewController release];
}
When this runs on the iPhone it works fine, but it crashes when run on the iPad.
Any help would really be appreciared
You do not need to put the folder name in the nib name for the iPad version, it will be found as long as it has a different name than the iPhone version.
If removing the folder from the initWithNibName doesn't work for you, please edit your question and post the results of the backtrace from the console.
You should not need the Resources-iPad/ prefix on the name of the iPad nib. iOS knows how to find resources in your bundle. The folder hierarchy you see in Xcode is simply for organizing files and for the developer's benefit.

Loading xib dynamically but wrong one displaying

I have an universal app that I am trying to share a viewController code with. I have this:
if ([[UIDevice currentDevice] userInterfaceIdiom] == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone) {
AboutController *screen = [[AboutController alloc] initWithNibName:#"iPhoneAboutController" bundle:nil];
screen.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleCrossDissolve;
[self presentModalViewController:screen animated:YES];
}
else
{
AboutController *screen = [[AboutController alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
screen.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleCrossDissolve;
[self presentModalViewController:screen animated:YES];
}
Although this is loading, and when I step through the code, it does hit the xib for the iPhone but it seems to always be loading the iPad version. I know this because in the xib file for the iPhone, I have manually added different background images and it never shows. In the iPhone simulator it shows the iPad version where it is off screen.
Also, if I step through the code in the controller, it does show that the load is the iPhone yet display is all iPad objects. In the iPhone xib, I do have the Files Owner set to the AboutController.
This is the first time I am attempting to "share code". I know I can just create separate class files with the same code but this seems senseless. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Geo...
For starters: make sure you don't override nib initialization in your AboutController.
If not, try cleaning your project (also delete your app's folders in ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData). Also uninstall the app from device and then rebuild.

Strange Exc Bad Access when using Init, PushViewController, Release. Anything wrong with this code?

Maybe I've been looking at this for too long ;) My app has a NavigationController and several ViewControllers. From one of the ViewControllers two levels down (mainViewController), loaded from the rootViewController, I have the code below. After the PushViewController to the dataViewController and back (e.g. back Button pressed), the app crashes.
The dataViewController loads just fine, but when the back button of the navigationController is tapped, the App crashes with Object Exception. If I remove:
[dataViewController release];
the app works fine. It's strange because the dataViewController is init'ed in the same method.
Any ideas?
- (void) locationPage
{
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:#"NotifyRemoveMap" object:nil];
MyAppDelegate *app = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
UINavigationController *navigation = app.navigationCantroller;
[navigation popToRootViewControllerAnimated:NO];
DataViewController *dataViewController = [[DataViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"DataView" bundle:nil];
[dataViewController setCategoryId:category];
MyLanguage *lang = app.lang;
Mylocation *location = [lang locationForCategoryId:category];
dataViewController.title = location.name;
NSArray *locationArray = [lang locations];
dataViewController.locations = locationArray;
[navigation pushViewController:dataViewController animated:YES];
[dataViewController release]; // With this removed, app doesn't crash
}
Haven't even read your post. If it's Exec-Bad-Access, I have 2 words for you:
Enable NSZombies.
Follow this link: (it explains everything you need to know to fix any bad access issue)
Phone Memory Debug with NSZombie and Instruments
Cheers!
The problem probably arises when the dataViewController gets popped and you try to access something on it - it is already released then. You might check the console for more details - better yet, run in debug mode (debug configuration and running with debugger).
You can edit your question to show some code that is run with the back button.
You talk about releasing dataViewController but your code says detailsViewController. Did you copy and paste incorrectly or is that the mistake?
You should consider not to use app.navigationController but self.navigationController. Cleaner design. Less dependencies on the app delegate, which too often is used as a frankensteinobject that knows too much.

iOS4 ABNewPersonViewController Loses Data Entered when attempting to add a Photo iPhone 4

I have implemented a basic add contact feature to an iOS 4 application. Following the documentation from Apple, I have created a navigation controller, and set its root view to the ABNewPersonViewController. I have implemented the delegate as well. The basic mechanics all work.
The problem I am having is when you add a photo to the new person that is very large (taking a photo or picking one from the library), the ABNewPersonViewController form returns empty when the camera controls are dismissed. No photo is in the add photo box either. If I pick a small image (say a screenshot from the iPhone), everything works. I can see from the debug output: Received memory warning. Level=1
Has anyone else run into this? Is there a way to set the photo quality to a lower setting for the ABNewPersonViewController? Any help appreciated.
ABNewPersonViewController *abNewPersonView = [[ABNewPersonViewController alloc] init];
abNewPersonView.newPersonViewDelegate = self;
UINavigationController *newNavigationController = [UINavigationController alloc];
[newNavigationController initWithRootViewController:abNewPersonView];
[self presentModalViewController:newNavigationController animated:YES];
[abNewPersonView release];
[newNavigationController release];
If ABNewPersonViewController does not handle memory warnings correctly, file a bug with apple.
