iOS Application starts from main method

iOS application starts from main method


int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    @autoreleasepool {
        return UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, NSStringFromClass([AppDelegate class]));
    }
}



int UIApplicationMain(int argc, char *argv[], NSString *principalClassName, NSString *delegateClassName);
// If nil is specified for principalClassName, the value for NSPrincipalClass from the Info.plist is used. If there is no NSPrincipalClass key specified, the UIApplication class is used. The delegate class will be instantiated using init.

Handle Orientation in iPhone/iPad 


  
By default iOS5 and earlier supports only portrait mode orientation, if we want to enable all orientation we have to implement shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation method in UIViewController.


- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
    return YES; //YES for supporting all orientation. NO- disable orientation
}

iOS have four orientations are 
   UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait
   UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown
   UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft    
   UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight
if dont want any one orientation, then check the orientation and return NO


- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
if(UIInterfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft)
    return NO; //disable UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft orientation
else
   return YES;
}



Find device orientation changes :-

//implement this method to find the device orientation changes

- (void)didRotateFromInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)fromInterfaceOrientation
{
  
}

If your application doesn't call didRotateFromInterfaceOrientation method then you have to add your controller as child view controller in then rootview controller.

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
   [super viewDidLoad];    
   [self addChildViewController:(UIViewController*) self.yourChildController];
}  





Changing UIView when Orientation change :-



    Here i created two UIView and assigned when orientation changed. I created two dashboard UIView for portrait and landscape , get the IBOutlet from XIB 



 Views.


- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation

{
  if(interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft || interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight )
    {
        self.view = self.LandscapeView;
    }
    else {
        self.view = self.portraitView;
    }
    return YES;
}

        //mail.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleCoverVertical;



       // [self setModalPresentationStyle:UIViewAnimationOptionTransitionFlipFromTop];



            [self presentViewController:mail animated:YES completion:NULL ]; //presentModalViewController deprecated from iOS5 and above

How to get iPhone iPad System Properties












UIDevice Class is used to get the phone name, model, localizedModel, systemname, system version,orientation,battery level etc.
















  [[UIDevice currentDevice] name]















       [[UIDevice currentDevice] model]



  [[UIDevice currentDevice] localizedModel]



  [[UIDevice currentDevice] systemName]



  [[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion]



  [[UIDevice currentDevice] orientation]



  [[UIDevice currentDevice] batteryLevel]























The main advantage is to check the battery level ;







float btlevel = [[UIDevice currentDevice] batteryLevel]; // range is from 0.0 to 1.0 UIDeviceBatteryState btstate = [UIDevice currentDevice] batteryStatus];

iOS(iPhone and iPad) Application Development for Beginner 























    

  • First you need to learn objective C basics.
    • 

  • Should know about the iOS Framework.
    • 

  • Should know how the iOS controller works like UIViewController,UITableviewcontroller, UINavigationControler,UITabBarcontroller etc. 
    • 

  • Do some homework with all the controls with xib and programatically then you will get a clear idea.
    • 

  • If you want to become a master dont skip the basics.
    • 

  • My advise is to start with stanford tutorial (pdf and video) for iOS5 (http://www.stanford.edu/class/cs193p/cgi-bin/drupal/downloads-2011-fall and http://itunes.apple.com/us/itunes-u/ipad-iphone-application-development/id473757255).
    • 










Here I attached Stanford iOS basics tutorial
