Titanium Examples Posted
So now that the beta 3 of SuperTwitter is out I”m starting to play with Titanium Mobile so we can deploy to the IPhone and Android quickly. I watched the screencast of the TiMobile demo last week and as promised got the links today with the relase of Yelpr and Kitchen Sink. I’ll be posting some code examples when I get SuperTwitter moved over, it’s great to see the API in action...

Making some progress on ST
example from the last post:
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(mapWebView.bounds.size);
[mapWebView.layer renderInContext:UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()];
UIImage *snap = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
CGImageRef snapImage = [snap CGImage];
//crop
CGImageRef resizedImage = CGImageCreateWithImageInRect(snapImage, CGRectMake(100.0f, 100.0f, 121.0f,...
renderInContext a layer method that will help with screenshots and hopefully caching of views
NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@”tweetMessage” ofType:@”html”];
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath: path];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL: url];
[self loadRequest: request];
Some morning progess on UiWebView

The Mini Debugger: My new friend
I’ve been looking for a good way to view stack traces in XCode and miss the nice integrated-ness of Eclipse. Apple decided to vomit windows in every direction and my desktop gets cluttered so fast without an external monitor so viewing the Console and the Debugger takes up a full screen about 3 layers deep. In comes the MiniDebugger. It’s the same functionality as the debugger but it...

A note about the start page
I’m finally using my touch and running through the UX of apps as I evaluate what makes a good experience. I noticed that the start of NoteSpark* always defaults to the table view which is fine but then it moves to the last visible view ( for me often a note detail). This is all fine but there is no transition in the view states. It’s minor I know but it was disruptive and it seems like...
So XML parsing on the iphone is old skool. Looks like I’m going to need to get some better output handling on the GAE end of things before going much further.
Getting started on XML parsing in Cocoa and wondering if the API should be JSON instead.
Testing the widget. I wonder how you put a title into this or maybe tumblr treats it differently.
Getting started again. Foostastico!
In an attempt to cronicle my development of my iphone app and to communicate to future customers I’m gonig to set up this blog. We’ll see how it goes.
