IPhone Application Development

LocateMe (IPhone Application Development)

If you want to extend the iPhoneTravel411 application and base the user’s available options on his or her current location, you can start here. This app shows you how to use core location, but remember that the simulator shows you a world with only one location — Apple’s headquarters in Cupertino, California.

AppPrefs (IPhone Application Development)

If you want to get a good handle on preferences and how to set, access, and use them in your application, this is the place to get that grip. This app even has a table view with flip animation that explains the application on the flip-side.

The Part of Tens (IPhone Application Development)

In this part.. . once had a boss who liked to hire smart-but-lazy people. He figured if he gave them a hard job they’d find an easy way to do it. In this part, I show you some ways to (first) avoid doing more work than you have to, and (second) avoid redoing things because […]

Top Ten Apple Sample Appications (with Code!) (IPhone Application Development)

One way to really learn how to do things on the iPhone is to look at (correct) sample code. Apple provides a lot of it. The only problem with learning from samples is that, while it can show you how to do a specific thing (like flip a view), it doesn’t give you the overall […]

Geocoding (IPhone Application Development)

But not being satisfied with seeing where I am on the map, I’d also like to know the address. (If I have the address, I could also write some code to turn the iPhone’s current address into an Address topic contact, but I’ll allow you the pleasure of figuring that out.) Being able to go […]

What's Next? (IPhone Application Development)

Although this point marks the end of your guided tour of iPhone Software development, it should also be the start, if you haven’t started already, of your own development work. Developing for the iPhone is one of the most exciting opportunities I’ve come across in a long time. I’m hoping it ends up being as […]

Going to the Current Location (IPhone Application Development)

While you can pan to the user location on the map, in our case, it’s kind of annoying, unless you’re actually coding this at or around London or Heathrow. To remove at least that annoyance from your life, I want to show you how easy it is to add a button to the Navigation bar […]

Annotations (IPhone Application Development)

The MKMap View class supports the ability to annotate the map with custom information. There are two parts to the annotation, the annotation itself, which contains the data for the annotation, and the annotation view that displays the data. The annotation An annotation plays a similar role to the dictionary you created in topic 16 […]

Enhancing the Map (IPhone Application Development)

Having this nice global map centered on the United States is kind of interesting, but not very useful if you are planning to go to London. Let’s look at what you would have to do to make the map more useful as well as center the map on Heathrow and London. In topic 16, you […]

Using MapKit (IPhone Application Development)

MKMap View You added the MapKit framework to the project in topic 16. with custom information. When you initialize a map view, you can specify the initial region for that map to display. You do this by setting the region property of the map. A region is defined by a center point and a horizontal […]
