Hi I am stuck please help me...
Is it possible to load dynamic data in the settings bundle, exactly what i need is when user sets a value for a preference, i need to display a list for the next preference, this list should be drawn from an online database. I have seen some thing similar in iPhone's default settings. Can anybody please give a solution for this as i am really screwed now. If it is not possible then i will include the settings in the app itself.
Thanks in advance
It is not possible to have dynamic values in Apple's settings application; they need to be specified in Settings.bundle before compilation. I recommend you implement a custom settings screen.

Basically, I have an app that supports multiple profiles, and i would like to give the option of creating icons that link directly to the profile with their own icon and name, which can be sourced dynamically.
I already have deep/dynamic linking set up (whichever one does custom schemes)
I just dont know how to create the icons.
I cant seem to figure out what search queries would find what I want without just finding firebase_dynamic_links as I'm not using Firebase.
It should be a local link that opens the app to the correct profile.
Preferably something that works both on mobile and desktop
This seems like the sort of thing someone would have made a package for, but I cant find it. Please tell me I dont have to create one myself!
There does appear to be others with similar questions, but none are properly answered, besides the firebase_dynamic_links one, which isnt useful to me.
I found firebase_dynamic_links, but as I am not using Firebase, its not what I need.
Nothing I search appears to find what I need... am I missing something obvious?
It should be simple right? Create a shortcut link with an image, name, and destination!
I'm currently working on an iPhone project where i want to present to the user spesific terms from wikipedia. I'm facing tow difficulties right now:
1. I want the specific content to work offline.
2. I want to show the relevant pictures as well.
I need to find the most efficient way to do it, can someone advise ?
You could get the content online and cache them in the app DB. If necessary you could prepolutate the db directly in you app. That way some terms would already be available.
I'm trying to use Dashcode to create a drop-down list for an iPhone Web app. I want the list to be set dynamically based on a data source, and for the selected item to be set by a separate data source.
I've figured-out how to set the parameters on the data source to get it to alter the contents, and have the data in valid JSON, but can't figure-out how to connect up the data source to make anything but a blank pop-up appear. I've tried connecting arrays and associative arrays to each of the bindings and still can't get anything (except an error when I try and connect it to the content)
So... Anyone out there done this?
Thanks in advance.
Have you tried using the code out of Dashcode library? There are a number of prewritten snippets in there and often with a bit more detail on the Dashcode docs on the apple site.
The other way is to download some widgets and then disassemble them to see how someone else has done it.
I want to allow the user to enter a valid date using the iPhone’s settings application.
I have experimented with many of the PreferenceSpecifiers data node types including date.
I have two issues:
When I specify date as the type, my app within the settings app crashes. Working examples would be greatly appreciated.
Since this approach hasn’t worked for me yet, will I programmatically be able to validate the date that the user enters?
The answer to number 2 is no. The only time you can validate the data entered is the next time your app is launched. None of your app's code is run via the Settings app.
You might consider pulling this setting into your app.
Have you read this guide and this section of the App guide? They describe in detail how the settings like this work.
You won't be able to validate anything a user sets through the Settings application. Also, I don't see Date as a valid setting type anywhere, so I don't even think this is possible through the Settings application.
I would simply create a settings view within the application. That way you can control your custom logic as you see fit.
Hope you all are fine and are in your best of moods.
I herewith one doubt to ask you, kindly help me by giving its solution.
I need to add one custom field in existing built in Contact Application of iPhone.
I mean i need to allow user to set different icon or Logo for different contact.
so i need to add one field namely icon or Logo in existing application.
But I don't know how to do this, weather it is possible or not or is there any alternate solution for that or not???
kindly post your Answers.
Thanks in Advance.
You cannot add fields to the built in Address Book datastore. You could perhaps achieve your goals by one of two solutions:
make a copy of the data and add your data to that. You will hit sync problems
Use some property (perhaps ABPropertyID) of the AB information to key a local database referencing your icons.
I'm assuming what you actually want to do is add an icon to the address book app - there is certainly no way to do that.
