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.

I want to make an iPhone app just like a questionnaire/Quize, and want to store all questions in sqlite database , i need to have One question that can be a label and 4 radio buttons for answers, user will select the option and will go for the next question, questions and answers will be saved in sqlite and at the end user will come to know how many he made correct or wrong choices.
Please suggest me any tutorial or anything that can be help full for me,please guise i will be grateful to u for this kindness in advance.
Just make a database with a table with columns like so : id, question, answer1,answer2,answer3,answer4,correct answer, did answer correct;
If you don't know SQL just use a wrapper like FMDB
After that just us use the built in function to get from database the question with a certain id (i.e. question number) and pass that to your question-asking class . When the user presses on an answer, check if it's correct and modify "did answer correct" columns.
Break your project into set of questions:
1. How to create GUI in iPhone?
2. How to connect to database in iPhone?
3. How to create label, radio buttons in iPhone?
4. How to submit form in iPhone?
Etc.
Then search the web for each of these. Perform these examples individually, test them and combine them.
Voila you've got a brand new questionnaire application :)!!!
After adding an entry in iPhone contacts successfully, now I want to restrict the application to add the same entry again. (As it makes another entry in iPhone Contacts with same data).
Any simple way to accomplish this? or any work around?
Any simple way to accomplish this? or any work around?
Unless I misunderstand what you're trying to do, the simple solution would seem to be searching the contacts for the information that you're about to add. If you find the same data, don't add it again. If you find something similar, such as a contact with the same name, ask the user if they want to create another contact with that name or update the existing one.
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.
Let's say we have a mobile app (iPhone, Android) already deployed and being used by people.
Is it possible to change text on buttons, title bars, or even shape or colour of these things without a major update? What I mean is, do we have to deploy an update to the whole app (for example, new version) in order to change one single text on the button? Or maybe these things (settings) can be stored in some kind of database or XML?
Help me out on this one please. Thanks a million.

No. You have to deploy a new version, even if you want to change a single thing like that.
It's possible to do changes to an existing app without deploying a new version, but in your case it's not possible. This is how it works:
You create a mechanism to check for new updates.
New updates can be new data, new settings, etc.
You make your app download and use that new data.
The problem here is that you have to have already deployed an app that do the steps above. Since your app currently does not have that implemented, there's no way to do any changes to it but updating it.
You have to update your app. I implemented the consumption of a JSON string recently to display a Message of the Day periodically. It also keeps a "low watermark" that I compare against the user's running version. If their version is too old I present them with 2 options: upgrade or quit.
You could as easily make your text work in the same way. Just be sure to keep a local cache in case they don't have network access. Will require some healthy refactoring.
you are able to store the text of buttons in values/Strings.xml and set them to the controls by text="#String/text_for_buttonxy" . This is grat for multiple languages, because you are able to put the Strings.xml in a country-code ending value folder like values-de values-en or values-fr in order to get the right String based on the phonesettungs.
Vor colors you are able to to the same thing with the colors.xml.
But you won't be able to change this xml file by synchronisation with a server, this will be a litte bit more complicated, please explain how to you want to change the settings.
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.
