tabbarcontroller and facebook api - iphone

I'm trying to implement Facebook API in my app code.
Pratically i have a simple TabbarController with 2 ViewController.
My AppDelegate code:
#interface AppDelegate : NSObject <UIApplicationDelegate, UITabBarControllerDelegate> {
UIWindow *window;
UITabBarController *tabBarController;
Facebook *facebook;
}
#property (retain, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIWindow *window;
#property (retain, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITabBarController *tabBarController;
#property (retain, nonatomic) Facebook *facebook;
method code:
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
[self.window addSubview:self.tabBarController.view];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
facebook = [[Facebook alloc] initWithAppId:#"12345678910" andDelegate:_tabBarController];
............
return YES;
}
FirstViewController.h
#import "Facebook.h"
#interface FirstViewController : UIViewController <FBRequestDelegate, FBDialogDelegate, FBSessionDelegate> {
}
FirstViewController.m
#import "Appdelegate.h"
-(IBAction)shareFacebook {
AppDelegate *appdelegate = (AppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
if (![appdelegate.facebook isSessionValid]) {
NSArray *permissions = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:
#"publish_stream",
#"read_stream",
nil];
[appdelegate.facebook authorize:permissions];
[permissions release];
}
}
I received a warning for this code: "andDelegate:_tabBarController"
Sending "UITabBarController *" to parameter of incompatible type 'id'

i would say UITabBarController * is not an FBSessionDelegate ... add the protocol as <UIApplicationDelegate, UITabBarControllerDelegate,FBSessionDelegate > and then
facebook = [[Facebook alloc] initWithAppId:#"12345678910" andDelegate:self];

In my app I declare and initialize the facebook object in the AppDelegate just like you. However, I made the AppDelegate use these (just like the other answer said it) : FBRequestDelegate, FBDialogDelegate, FBSessionDelegate. After that I placed all the facebook login/logout/post..etc methods in app delegate class.
After that you can just pass the facebook object to your FirstViewController from the didFinishLaunchingWithOptions.
If you dont understand let me know I'll give you more details. I might not explain it very well.
PS: i might be wrong with this but from what i've seen around the web it is easier to declare methods at the beginning in the app delagete didfinishlaunchingwithoptions and then pass them to specific view controllers.

Read delegate from view controller in tab bar application

I found several posts online stating that I could access my application delegate object from any view controller through the following call:
[[UIApplication sharedApplicaton] delegate];
(For instance: data between Views UIApplication, iOS - Calling App Delegate method from ViewController)
However, whenever I include this line in a function in one of my view controllers, the application crashes.
This is the first application that I'm writing, and I cannot see the difference between my code and how other posts have said I should be using this sharedApplication call. For completeness, below is an excerpt from my application delegate and view controller.
FirstViewController.h:
#class wStreamAppDelegate;
#define URL_ADDRESS #"http://google.com"
#interface FirstViewController : UIViewController <UIWebViewDelegate>{
IBOutlet UIWebView * webView;
wStreamAppDelegate* appDelegate;
}
#property(nonatomic,retain) wStreamAppDelegate* appDelegate;
#property(nonatomic,retain) IBOutlet UIWebView* webView;
FirstViewController.m:
#import "FirstViewController.h"
#import "wStreamAppDelegate.h"
#implementation FirstViewController
#synthesize webView,appDelegate;
#class wStreamAppDelegate;
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
NSString* urlAddress = URL_ADDRESS;
NSURL* url = [NSURL URLWithString:urlAddress];
NSURLRequest * requestObj = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[webView loadRequest:requestObj];
self.appDelegate = (wStreamAppDelegate*)[[UIApplication sharedApplicaton] delegate];
//This doesn't work either
// wStreamAppDelegate *appDelegate= (wStreamAppDelegate*)[[UIApplication sharedApplicaton] delegate];
wStreamAppDelegate.h:
#interface wStreamAppDelegate : NSObject <UIApplicationDelegate, UITabBarControllerDelegate> {
UIWindow *window;
UITabBarController *tabBarController;
}
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIWindow *window;
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UITabBarController *tabBarController;
#end
If anyone has any thoughts on what may be going wrong, general advice for debugging problems like these, or tips, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.
Typos get everyone sooner or later... in this case, you wrote "sharedApplicaton" instead of "sharedApplication".

UINavigationController not showing up when running build

EDIT: Working, see code below.
Working on an application, where right now I have the AppDelegate class, and a custom UINavigationController class. The code i have right now is pretty simple, and I feel like I've setup the XIB correctly. The build succeeds with no errors. But when the app launches, the navigationcontroller isnt displayed. I do not see the nav bar nor the table view. All I see is a blank screen. Here's the bulk of my code:
//
// FTPPhotosAppDelegate.h

//
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import "RootViewController.h"
#interface FTPPhotosAppDelegate : NSObject <UIApplicationDelegate> {
UINavigationController *navigationController;
RootViewController *rootViewController;
}
#property (nonatomic, retain) UINavigationController *navigationController;
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIWindow *window;
#property (nonatomic, retain) RootViewController *rootViewController;
#end

#import "FTPPhotosAppDelegate.h"
#implementation FTPPhotosAppDelegate
#synthesize window=_window;
#synthesize navigationController, rootViewController;
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] init];
rootViewController = [[RootViewController alloc] init];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:rootViewController animated:NO];
[self.window addSubview:[self.navigationController view]];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
#interface RootViewController : UITableViewController<UIImagePickerControllerDelegate> {
NSMutableArray *photos;
UIImagePickerController *picker;
UIBarButtonItem *addPhotoButton;
}
#property (nonatomic, retain) NSMutableArray *photos;
#property (nonatomic, retain) UIImagePickerController *picker;
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIBarButtonItem *addPhotoButton;
- (void) loadPhotos;
- (IBAction) addPhoto;
- (UIImage*)imageWithImage:(UIImage*)image scaledToSize:(CGSize)newSize;
#end
#import "RootViewController.h"
#implementation RootViewController
#synthesize photos, picker, addPhotoButton;
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
self.photos = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity:50];
[self loadPhotos];
[super viewDidLoad];
}
Any ideas? Here's a screenshot of the XIB,
.
Let me know if you need more info.
Instead of a root View controller, make it a UINavigationController *navigationController.
then in the applicationDidFinishLaunching, say
navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc]init];
FirstViewController *firstView = [FirstViewController alloc]init];
[self pushViewController:firstView animated:NO];
firstView.title = #"TITLE";
[self addSubview:navigationController.view];
EDIT: some example code i have in an app of mine
AppDelegate.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#interface DragonAge2AppDelegate : NSObject <UIApplicationDelegate> {
UIWindow *window;
UINavigationController *navigationController;
}
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIWindow *window;
#end
AppDelegate.m
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
TitleClass *titlePage = [[TitleClass alloc]init];
navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc]init];
titlePage.title = #"Dragon Age 2";
[navigationController pushViewController:titlePage animated:NO];
[titlePage release];
// Override point for customization after application launch.
[window addSubview:navigationController.view];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
You need to check some points:
Is the code in application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: executed when you run the application? Add a NSLog(#"app launched") in this code or set a breakpoint in it to check it. If it is not called, your FTPPhotosAppDelegate object is probably not set as the delegate of your UIApplication singleton in the XIB (this connection should be done by default if you created your app using a standard template, but it's worth checking)
Is the navigationController IBOutlet of your AppDelegate properly connected to your actual UINavigationController in the XIB? Check (using an NSLog or a breakpoint) that it is not nil.
Same for the view IBOutlet of the UINavigationController object in your XIB: check that it is properly connected and not nil.

Go to another view (UIViewController) from within UIViewController

A newbie Objective C question. Im trying to programmaticly change view from another view. But I only succeed in activating the tab button in the tabbarcontroller.
In my ViewDidLoad I have a condition that if thats not met, load the second view instead.
Is there any kind soul that can help out a Objective-C beginner? I have googled and search stackoverflow for the answer but with no luck.
FirstViewController.h
#interface FirstViewController : UIViewController {
some variables
}
some #properties
FirstViewController.m
#import "FirstViewController.h"
#implementation FirstViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
if(condition is met) {
[self.tabBarController setSelectedIndex:1];
}
}
In my AppDelegate.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#interface otpAppDelegate : NSObject <UIApplicationDelegate, UITabBarControllerDelegate> {
UIWindow *window;
UITabBarController *tabBarController;
}
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIWindow *window;
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UITabBarController *tabBarController;
#end
AppDelegate.m
#implementation otpAppDelegate
#synthesize window;
#synthesize tabBarController;
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
[self.window addSubview:tabBarController.view];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
tabBarController = [[UITabBarController alloc] init];
[tabBarController setDelegate:self];
return YES;
}
Edit!
I found a solution to my problem.
int selectedindex = 1;
self.tabBarController.selectedIndex = selectedindex;
UIViewController *tempvc = [[self.tabBarController viewControllers] objectAtIndex:selectedindex];
[self.view removeFromSuperview];
[self.view addSubview:tempvc.view];
Did the trick.
Try setting the index for the tabBarController instance of the app delegate like yourAppDelegate.tabBarController
If you are using tabBarController as IBOutlet , there is no need to allocate it in your app delegate. Please remove these code from your appDelegate method (application: didFinishLaunchingWithOptions)..
tabBarController = [[UITabBarController alloc] init];
[tabBarController setDelegate:self];

iPhone Loading Different Views

I have to xibs, and I want to load which one the user wants in the settings. I'm just working on actually loading them and how would this been done.
This is the function in the delegate which I think would be where this happens.
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
[self.window addSubview:viewController.view];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
This is the delegate header file.
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#class myAppViewController;
#interface myAppAppDelegate : NSObject <UIApplicationDelegate> {
UIWindow *window;
myAppViewController *viewController;
}
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIWindow *window;
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet myAppViewController *viewController;
#end
So lets say I have a xib created called modernTheme, how would I load that or the myAppViewController. If someone could do this in a generic if statement, that would be great.
This looks like your viewController is being created 'in Interface Builder'. Instead of that you could create the ViewControllers yourself and add them dynamically. Your application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: could look something like this:
UIViewController *viewController;
if (showModernTheme) { // from your configuration
viewController = [[YourViewControllerA alloc] initWith…];
} else {
viewController = [[YourViewControllerB alloc] initWith…];
}
// assuming YourViewControllerA + B are inheriting from UIViewController
[self.window addSubview:viewController.view];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
Hope that helps

TabBar Support of Three20 iPhone Photo Gallery

I wend through this tutorial and created a photo gallery for the iPhone. Now I want to add it to my TabBar project. I already heard, that Three20 doesn't support XIB, so I changed my whole tab bar setup to programmatically. I think I am not too far from a final solution.
I was able to get the photo gallery working in one tab but without functions (click on a pic --> it opens, etc). There is no navigation on top of the page that leads you to the detail image page. I faced this when I removed this from didFinishLaunchingWithOptions-method in app delegate:
// Override point for customization after application launch
TTNavigator* navigator = [TTNavigator navigator];
TTURLMap* map = navigator.URLMap;
[map from:#"demo://album" toViewController: [AlbumController class]];
[navigator openURLAction:[TTURLAction actionWithURLPath:#"demo://album"]];
return YES;
I had to remove it because otherwise the whole tab bar is not shown. The photo gallery uses the whole screen. I am not sure if it is just not shown, or not loaded. I also tried:
tabbar.hidesBottomBarWhenPushed = NO;
But that did not work at all. I tried to add the TTNavigator-code to loadView(), viewDidLoad() and init() in the AlbumController itself without a result. Does anyone know where I have to put this in order to get it working?
My AlbumController.h:
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import <Three20/Three20.h>
#interface AlbumController : TTThumbsViewController {
// images
NSMutableArray *images;
// parser
NSXMLParser * rssParser;
NSMutableArray * stories;
NSMutableDictionary * item;
NSString * currentElement;
NSMutableString * currentImage;
NSMutableString * currentCaption;
}
#property (nonatomic, retain) NSMutableArray *images;
#end
And my implementation of the didFinishLaunchingWithOptions-method:
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
// set up tab bar controller
tabBarController = [[UITabBarController alloc] init];
albumController = [[AlbumController alloc] init];
firstViewController = [[FirstViewController alloc] init];
secondViewController = [[SecondViewController alloc] init];
firstViewController.delegateRef = self;
tabBarController.viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:firstViewController, secondViewController, albumController, nil];
[window addSubview:tabBarController.view];
[window makeKeyAndVisible];
// Override point for customization after application launch
TTNavigator* navigator = [TTNavigator navigator];
TTURLMap* map = navigator.URLMap;
[map from:#"demo://album" toViewController: [AlbumController class]];
[navigator openURLAction:[TTURLAction actionWithURLPath:#"demo://album"]];
return YES;
}
Thanks guys, Cheers, dooonot
Ok guys, with help of Bryan I was able to get the photo gallery running in a tab bar application. I have seen so many people out there looking for this solution so I try to explain it as good as I can.
Seems like it is not possible to use Three20 with Interface Builder, so you have to set up your tab bar application manually. This is my Three20PhotoGalleryAppDelegate.h:
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import <CoreData/CoreData.h>
#import "AlbumController.h"
#import "SecondViewController.h"
#import "FirstViewController.h"
#class TabBarAppViewController;
#class AlbumController;
#class SecondViewController;
#class FirstViewController;
#interface Three20PhotoGalleryAppDelegate : NSObject <UIApplicationDelegate> {
UIWindow *window;
UITabBarController *tabBarController;
AlbumController *albumController;
FirstViewController *firstViewController;
SecondViewController *secondViewController;
#private
NSManagedObjectContext *managedObjectContext_;
NSManagedObjectModel *managedObjectModel_;
NSPersistentStoreCoordinator *persistentStoreCoordinator_;
}
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIWindow *window;
#property (nonatomic, retain) UITabBarController *tabBarController;
#property (nonatomic, retain) AlbumController *albumController;
#property (nonatomic, retain) SecondViewController *secondViewController;
#property (nonatomic, retain) FirstViewController *firstViewController;
#property (nonatomic, retain, readonly) NSManagedObjectContext *managedObjectContext;
#property (nonatomic, retain, readonly) NSManagedObjectModel *managedObjectModel;
#property (nonatomic, retain, readonly) NSPersistentStoreCoordinator *persistentStoreCoordinator;
- (NSURL *)applicationDocumentsDirectory;
- (void)saveContext;
#end
Please make sure that you create a new UITabBarController as well as all your ViewControllers. Let's continue with my Three20PhotoGalleryAppDelegate.m:
#import "Three20PhotoGalleryAppDelegate.h"
#import "AlbumController.h"
#import "SecondViewController.h"
#import "FirstViewController.h"
#import <Three20/Three20.h>
#implementation Three20PhotoGalleryAppDelegate
#synthesize window;
#synthesize albumController;
#synthesize firstViewController;
#synthesize secondViewController;
#synthesize tabBarController;
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
// set up tab bar controller manually
tabBarController = [[UITabBarController alloc] init];
albumController = [[AlbumController alloc] init];
firstViewController = [[FirstViewController alloc] init];
secondViewController = [[SecondViewController alloc] init];
/* This is the essential part of the solution. You have to add the albumController to a
new navigation controller and init it as RootViewController*/
UINavigationController* navController = [[[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:albumController] autorelease];
// now add all controllers to the tabBarController
tabBarController.viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:firstViewController, secondViewController, navController, nil];
[window addSubview:tabBarController.view];
[window makeKeyAndVisible];
}
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication*)application handleOpenURL:(NSURL*)URL {
TTOpenURL([URL absoluteString]);
return YES;
}
- (void)dealloc {
[tabBarController release];
[window release];
[super dealloc];
}
#end
Please note that you don't need the TTNavigator stuff from the tutorial. Now we have to get our photogallery some how. I built it up in AlbumController like in the tutorial. This is my AlbumController.h:
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import <Three20/Three20.h>
#interface AlbumController : TTThumbsViewController {
}
#property (nonatomic, retain) NSMutableArray *images;
#end
You can find the implementation of the AlbumController in the tutorial mentioned above. Now the AlbumController.m:
#import "AlbumController.h"
#import "PhotoSource.h"
#import "Photo.h"
#implementation AlbumController
#synthesize images;
- (id)init
{
if (self = [super init])
{
// Initialization code
self.title = #"Photo Gallery";
self.hidesBottomBarWhenPushed=NO;
}
return self;
}
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[self createPhotos]; // method to set up the photos array
self.photoSource = [[PhotoSource alloc]
initWithType:PhotoSourceNormal
title:#"All in Vain"
photos:images
photos2:nil];
}
-(void)createPhotos {
// your independent implementation
}
#end
As described in the problem description above, my photo gallery always used the full screen. This is bad because you cannot use your tab bar icons anymore. For this you have to add
self.hidesBottomBarWhenPushed=NO;
to your init() method like mentioned in the AlbumController-init-method above.
Sooo, that's pretty much it. I really hope someone can re-use my solution. Thanks again to Bryan.
Cheers guys,

PS: I have created a project on github. You can download the sample app here.
Try This:
tBarController = [[UITabBarController alloc] init];
actionController = [[ActionController alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
// Override point for customization after application launch.
TTNavigator* navigator = [TTNavigator navigator];
TTURLMap* map = navigator.URLMap;
[map from:#"demo://album" toViewController:tBarController];
[tBarController setViewControllers:
[NSArray arrayWithObjects:actionController,nil]];
[navigator openURLAction:[TTURLAction actionWithURLPath:#"demo://album"]];
[self.window addSubview:tBarController.view];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
You can use the TTNavigatorDemo sample to learn how to use it with Tab Bar Controllers.
