I am trying to recreate the Add Contact screen. I am able to this with a UITableViewController, however, I am unable to set the width of the cells to make room for the Add Photo Button. Any ideas?
If you ever want to see what a standard view is doing, write an app that presents the view, run it in the simulator, pause the debugger when the view comes up, and then type the following command in the debugger:
po [[UIWindow keyWindow] recursiveDescription]
When you do that, you'll see a listing like so:
(lldb) po [[UIWindow keyWindow] recursiveDescription]

While there's a lot there, I think you'll see that this tableview's first cell is a large one with the "add photo" image and another, nested tableview to its right.
But as you discovered, if you're just trying to add a contact, ABNewPersonViewController provides the necessary functionality (in fact, that's what I used to create the above recursive description). When you posted this question, I thought you were just trying to better understand how this UI was generated. But as always, if you can use the existing API, so much the better.

In the ios7 many times when you click on the one of the button on the tab bar, a windows appear that contains some items with a done button on the right of the navigation bar. Below image show this windows on the map application of the ios7.
Is this a new component like action-sheet or just a custom view? I want to create a page like this, what is the best way?
Since the maps app is available in the simulator, you can attach to it using the debugger and sent messages to its objects.
Here is a print of the recursive description of the key window:

You can see in the view hierarchy, that there is the map part, and then there is a view with all the content of the settings/info, including a navigation bar and a table view with all the cells. Let's look at how the view controllers are set up:
po [0x1212b0530 _viewDelegate]
<SettingsViewControllerPhone: 0x12127bea0>
po [[0x1212b0530 _viewDelegate] parentViewController]
<MainChromeViewController: 0x10af511e0>
MainChromeViewController is the main view controller of the maps app. So, as you can see, it is a child view controller of the main view controller. It is animated in place when you tab the button.
It's either a custom controller with a UIToolbar at the top, or it is a UIViewController embedded into a UINavigationController.
I have an imageView (say 100x100) that I want to fill with a (smaller) image (say 50x10) and I want the image to go at the top of the view, not at the middle of the view.
If I use
imageView.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit;
it fills the view with the image scaled at 100x20 (as expected) but in the middle of the view.
Like this:
+---------+
| |
|i m a g e| <---my image (scaled)
| |
+---------+ <---my UIImageView
If I set
imageView.contentMode = UIViewContentModeTop | UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit;
I get this:
+---------+
| image | <---my image (not scaled)
| |
| |
+---------+
The image is not scaled and it stays at 50x10 in the middle of the imageView (as instructed by the UIViewContentModeTop, but it ignores UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit).
How do I get it to accept both? Like this:
+---------+
|i m a g e|
| |
| |
+---------+
This could be the worst solution but it works, You should set the frame of your image view first and then call this method.
-(void)adjustImageViewWithImageDimension:(CGRect)frame{
UIImageView *tempView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:frame];
tempView.image = self.image;
tempView.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFill;
tempView.clipsToBounds = false;
CGFloat oldAlpha = self.alpha;
self.alpha = 1;
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(tempView.bounds.size);
[tempView.layer renderInContext:UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()];
UIImage *resultingImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
self.alpha = oldAlpha;
self.image = resultingImage;
self.contentMode = UIViewContentModeTop;
self.clipsToBounds = YES;
}
I am trying to print the view hierarchy of the application's visible and hidden windows. Here is a part of my code inside a subclass of MFMessageComposeViewController:
NSArray *windows = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] windows];
for(UIWindow *aWindow in windows) {
if([aWindow isMemberOfClass:NSClassFromString(#"UITextEffectsWindow")]) {
sendButton = [self findButtonInView:aWindow];
break;
}
}
The findButtonInView: method is searching recursively a UIButton in the current UIWindow.
This is working as expected when testing with iOS4.3 and iOS 5.1 (the expected UIButton is found successfully), but does not work with iOS6.
Here are the results of the view hierarchy prints from both tests:

My question is how the needed UIButton can be found inside UITextEffectsWindow?
It seems that the view hierarchy in iOS6 is somehow changed...
I would appreciate any help. Thanks!
It is likely that is it changed. You are accessing undocumented elements presented in the UI, which is not guaranteed to be consistent across system updates. If you would like to change the appearance of the UI elements presented in the MFMailComposeViewController class, use the IUAppearance API. You are not supposed to access much of the mail controller class.
Important The mail composition interface itself is not customizable and must not be modified by your application. In addition, after presenting the interface, your application is not allowed to make further changes to the email content. The user may still edit the content using the interface, but programmatic changes are ignored. Thus, you must set the values of content fields before presenting the interface.
I'm trying to take advantage of ABPersonViewController's simplicity while at the same time customizing it's appearance slightly to match the look and feel of my app.
I subclassed ABPersonViewController, and using this technique, I loop through the view hierarchy of ABPersonViewController, and here is my output:

Sweet! So I should be able to recursively loop though the root UIView's subviews, and alter to my hearts content.
The problem is, that when performing this loop, the root UIView only shows one subview
(ABPersonTableView), and I can not go any deeper.
Any ideas why? Is ABPersonTableView a private class that hides everything it creates/contains?
I am able to alter the background color of the table by doing this inside my recursive loop:
if ([subview isKindOfClass:[UITableView class]]) {
((UITableView *)subview).backgroundColor = [UIColor purpleColor];
}
However, I can't access any of the UILabels because I can't get to any of the subviews of ABPersonTableView.
Any ideas?
You are stuck because Apple offers only two ways:
Apple's built-in, automatic, super easy look and feel way (which is non-cutomizeable)
Roll-your-own you do everything using low level calls to the AddressBook
ABPersonViewController and its subviews aren't meant to be modified and doing so isn't guaranteed to work with future software updates.
The reason is that Apple wants a consistent look and feel.
If you really need to match your apps look and feel, you will have to go with method 2) above and re-implement the whole thing from scratch. This is not necessarily hard, but certainly time consuming.
Edit: see comments for final solution to poster's Q
Note that Apple explicitly warns against modifying the appearance of standard user interface elements and/or manipulating the subviews of standard views and controls. If you're just building this for yourself, no problem, but prepare for rejection if you're planning on submitting this app to the app store.
All the same, it's a good question.
You can access ABPersonTableView in viewDidLoad after calling layoutSubViews :)
example:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
// get ABPersonTableView and forced it layout subviews
UIView *personTableView = [self.view.subviews objectAtIndex:0];
[personTableView layoutSubviews];
// loop through subviews and customize all exceps contacts image
NSArray *subViews = personTableView.subviews;
UIView *view;
for(int i = 0; i < subViews.count-1; i++) {
view = [subViews objectAtIndex:i];
//...customize cells
}
}
Are you doing this in -viewDidLoad? You might have to wait until the table view’s finished calling into whatever it internally uses as a data source to create all its cells. You could do that by calling -reloadData on the table, or by waiting one cycle (using -performSelector:withObject:afterDelay: with a delay of 0), and then trying to mess with its cell contents.
Does anyone know in whose subview an active UIAlertView is located or how to find the thread in which it is running?
If you dump the contents of the windows property and all subviews of all views you can see that the UIAlertView is in a separate window that overlays the main window. Here I have a navbar with a viewcontroller and a tableview (I removed its subviews since they're not relevent).

Here is the code that produces the dump. I found it useful on occasion to see what is going on when something isn't doing what I expect:
void dumpView(UIView* aView, NSString* indent) {
if (aView) {
NSLog(#"%#%#", indent, aView); // dump this view
if (aView.subviews.count > 0) {
NSString* subIndent = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:#"%#%#",
indent, ([indent length]/2)%2==0 ? #"| " : #": "];
for (UIView* aSubview in aView.subviews) dumpView( aSubview, subIndent );
[subIndent release];
}
}
}
void dumpWindows() {
for (UIWindow* window in [UIApplication sharedApplication].windows) {
dumpView(window, #"dumpView: ");
}
}
The active UIAlertView lives in a separate window (_UIAlertOverlayWindow). Use .windows property to find it.
The whole UI runs in the main thread.
From the problem that you describe with windows and timing, sounds like you should implement alertView:didDismissWithButtonIndex:. You can trigger your followup code from within that method.
EDIT: if that did not work, I'd try doing a delay to execute the FB stuff after a delay when the window is really guaranteed to be gone.
