Journals and diaries are great to use, but it is vulnerable to threats like damage, lost. So, we came-up with an unique app idea to make note taking easier. If you like to carry around a journal and scribble notes, why not capture that on your iPhone or iPad. It would be easier, faster and insightful. You could do more than just writing notes and taking photos.

What You Can Do With Sweet Journey

  • Create notes with date and time
  • Capture snaps and videos with tags and timestamp
  • Record voices with tags and timestamp
  • Save photos with Geo-tag to see in map view, based on location
  • Store memories in one gallery and sort as per day, month and year

Here’s What We Did:

  • Designed the application logo, user interfaces (UI/UX) and animation effects
  • Developed the app in native language i.e. Objective-C and Cocoa Touch framework
  • Devised the application process and flow from navigation to monetization
  • Implemented Tapku SDK
  • Used iCarousel library for paged and scroll view
  • Deployed the app to App Store within 3 weeks since the initiation of project

So, go ahead; download the app and see how ‘SweetJourney’ can help memories last forever. Feel free to write reviews in iTunes.

How To Create A Gridview With ‘UICollectionView’ In IOS6 & Above

Posted on by Mandakinee

What Is ‘UICollectionView’?

‘UICollectionView’ is a class introduced in iOS 6 SDK. It helps developers in creating grid view to handle ordered collection of data items using customizable layouts. ‘Collection view’, available in this class is like ‘UItableview’ which supports multiple column layouts.

Getting Started:

Create new ‘.h‘ and ‘.m‘ files to display the images.

In ‘ShowImagesViewController.h’

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
@interface ShowImagesViewController :UICollectionViewController
{
NSArray *allImages;
}
@property (nonatomic, retain) NSArray *allImages;
@end

In ‘ShowImagesViewController.m’

#import "ShowImagesViewController.h"
@implementation ShowImagesViewController
@synthesize allImages;
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[superviewDidLoad];
allImages = [NSArrayarrayWithObjects:@"pizza.jpeg",
@"sides_img.png", @"sandwich_img.png", @"pizza_img.png",
@"pasta_img.png", @"drinks_img.png", @"pizza.jpeg",
@"sides_img.png", @"sandwich_img.png", @"pizza_img.png",
@"pasta_img.png", @"drinks_img.png", nil];
}
 
- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
{
[superdidReceiveMemoryWarning];
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:
(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
return YES;
}
- (NSInteger)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionViewnumberOfItemsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
returnrecipeImages.count;
}
- (UICollectionViewCell *)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionViewcellForItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
staticNSString *identifier = @"Cell";
UICollectionViewCell *cell = [collectionView
dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier:identifier
forIndexPath:indexPath];
 
UIImageView *allImageView = (UIImageView *)[cell viewWithTag:100];
allImageView.image = [UIImageimageNamed:[allImagesobjectAtIndex:indexPath.row]];
return cell;
}
- (void)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionViewdidSelectItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
}
@end

‘UICollectionViewController’ creates ‘Grid’/’Tile’ layout much faster and offers intuitive user interface in iOS 6 devices.

How To Use “UIActionSheet” As A Pop-over View In Your IOS Apps

Posted on by Anurag Pattnaik

iOS-destructive_button

What is UIActionSheet

The action sheet in iOS contains a title and one or more buttons. Each of the buttons is associated with separate actions. It can be presented from a toolbar; tab bar, button bar item or from a view, however the title can be optional.

Why use UIActionSheet?

UIActionSheet is used in the following cases:

  • To show an option for a given task
  • To prompt the user to confirm an action
  • To get user input

Action sheet is dismissed by touching anywhere outside the pop-over.

How to use it?

  • Extend the UIActionSheetDeleagte in the .h header file of the ViewController
  • Then add a method named as”showActionSheet”

Example

[sourcecode]@interface MyViewController : UIViewController {
…
}
…
-(IBAction)showActionSheet:(id)sender;
@end[/sourcecode]

Initializing the UIActionSheet takes 5 following parameters

  •  initWithTitle
  • delegate
  • cancelButtonTitle
  • destructiveButtonTitle
  • otherButtonTitles

Add the following code in the .m file of viewcontroller.

Example

[sourcecode]-(IBAction)showActionSheet:(id)sender {
UIActionSheet *popupQuery = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:@"Set your title" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"Cancel" destructiveButtonTitle:@"Destructive Button" otherButtonTitles:@"Rename",@"Delete", nil];

popupQuery.actionSheetStyle = UIActionSheetStyleBlackOpaque;
[popupQuery showInView:self.view];
[popupQuery release];
}[/sourcecode]

How to know which button was clicked by user?

There is a delegate method named as “actionSheet clickedButtonAtIndex” in which you can get the action.

[sourcecode]-(void)actionSheet:(UIActionSheet *)actionSheet clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex {

switch (buttonIndex) {
case 0:
NSLog(@”%@”,Destructive Button Clicked);
break;
case 1:
NSLog(@”%@”,Rename Button Clicked);
break;
case 2:
NSLog(@”%@”,Delete Button Clicked);
break;
case 3:
NSLog(@”%@”,Cancel Button Clicked);
break;
}
}[/sourcecode]

Conclusion:

UIActionSheet gives additional choices to the users for a particular action & gives a cleaner look to the app.
