NSClassDescriptionNeededForClassNotification

[Kevin Bracey]

Hi there,

I hope that I could "register class descriptions lazily", I like doing most 
things lazily.

But I can't find where or how to listen for the 
NSClassDescriptionNeededForClassNotification.

I've place [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self 
selector:@selector( registerClassDescription: ) 
name:NSClassDescriptionNeededForClassNotification object:nil]; in either my 
AppDelegate and my model object.

It just doesn't seem to fire when  classDescriptionForClass: does not find a 
class.

I have fired it manually with [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] 
postNotificationName:NSClassDescriptionNeededForClassNotification object:self]; 
and my 
- (void)registerClassDescription:( NSNotification *)aNotification
{
NSLog(@"Looking for Notification" );
}

logs fine. 

Can any shed some light on where and how to get notified of 
NSClassDescriptionNeededForClassNotification?

cheers

UITabBarController calls viewDidAppear

[Remco Poelstra]

Hi,

I've a UITabBarController. with two tabs, that's loaded from the 
MainWindow.xib. It's UINavigationControllers are in the same NIB, which load 
their UITableViewControllers from external NIB's (as recommended by Apple).
The tableview in the first tab loads in its tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexPath 
the same tableview as the second would (but with different properties). This is 
the same behaviour as the iPod application, where the artist tableview loads an 
album view, but you can also show albums from the tab bar controller (showing a 
different set of albums).
When the second tableview is loaded from the first tableview, everything works 
fine. When the second tableview is loaded directly in the second tab, 
viewDidAppear is called long before the view is shown. The tableView therefore 
did not have time to fully initialize (and call numberOfRowsInSection:) and 
crashes on a wrong row insert command in viewDidAppear.

How can I find out why the viewDidAppear is called to early?

Kind regards,

Remco Poelstra

As you are raising the exception then you could try raising the exception 
experimentally when the operation starts to help source the problem.
You mentioned break points earlier. What happens when the code runs outside of 
the development environment.

Now we know.
Have you tried using NSExceptionHandler? It might provide some insight.

If the problem persists you could post more code.

If it's a fundamental issue it should be demonstrable in a short test project.

UIWebView HTML to match UITextView

[BareFeetWare]

Hi all,

I'm trying to show text in a UIWebView to match exactly how it appears in a 
UITextView. Is there a standard library or subclass to do this?

I've got it mostly working, by programmatically implementing what is basically 
a copy of the HTML syntax produced by TextEdit. But a few things like periods 
"." and parentheses "()" seem to use slightly different horizontal spacing 
(which creates a cumulative misalignment), and line wraps start in a different 
location.

Thanks,
Tom

HTML Writer class

[Philip Vallone]

Hi list,

Is there a Cocoa Touch class for creating HTML documents? For example, in C# 
there is the HTMLDoument class.  I searched the reference docs, but came up 
empty.

Edit NSScrollView text

[Leonardo]

Hi,
on XCode version 3 I was able to launch IB and edit the text of a
NSScrollView. On XCode 4 I can't. And even if I modify this text, which is
saved within the file MainMenu.nib/keyedobjects.nib
when I relaunch XCode 4 and open my project file, the change doesn't show
up. I always see the old text.

Also, I have seen that even creating a new NSScrollView, I can't edit the
text. So, my question is, how can I edit the text of a NSScrollView when
editing a nib file? I found it very useful, especially to create a license
panel.

TweenTrack working on QT10

[Leonardo]

Hi,
if I add a Tween Track to my QT movie, I end up with a movie file requiring
QT7 and not working on QT10. If I don't add the tween track, QT10 can open
the movie. So the difference is the Tween Track.
However Safari 5.0.3 can play the movie with the Tween Track and I can
properly hear the volume decreasing. So the Tween Track works well.
Is anyone who knows how to create a Tween Track working on QT10?
I do:


  scale = GetMovieTimeScale(_movie);
  tweenTrack = NewMovieTrack(_movie, 0, 0, kNoVolume);
  tweenMedia = NewTrackMedia(tweenTrack, TweenMediaType,  scale nil,  0);

  BeginMediaEdits(tweenMedia);
  ...
  AddTweenSampleToMedia2(tweenMedia, rampOffset, rampDur, lastVol, thisVol);
  ...
  EndMediaEdits(tweenMedia);

  InsertMediaIntoTrack(tweenTrack, insPoint, 0, tweenDuration, fixed1);
  QTNewAtomContainer(&inputMap);
  AddTrackReference(mySndTrack, tweenTrack, kTrackModifierReference,
&referenceIndex);
  QTInsertChild(inputMap, kParentAtomIsContainer, kTrackModifierInput,
referenceIndex, 0, 0, nil, &inputAtom);

  OSType inputType = EndianU32_NtoB(kTrackModifierTypeVolume);
  QTInsertChild(inputMap, inputAtom, kTrackModifierType, 1, 0,
sizeof(inputType), &inputType, nil);

  long tweenID = EndianU32_NtoB(1);
  QTInsertChild(inputMap, inputAtom, kInputMapSubInputID, 1, 0,
sizeof(tweenID), &tweenID, nil);

  err = SetMediaInputMap(GetTrackMedia(mySndTrack), inputMap);
  if(err != noErr) return err;

  QTDisposeAtomContainer(inputMap);

Without the breakpoint, the network pipe doesn't break, and it runs fine. I'll 
try raising the exception deliberately.

That appears to be a Mac OS X-only facility, and I failed to mention this was 
iOS.

Popover Shrinks beyond Indicator

[Gordon Apple]

I have a popover with a navigation controller, which launches from a button
near the right side of (and at toe top of) the screen.  Subsequent smaller
panels within the popover downsize correctly, but resizing is always by
moving in the right side of the popover, often beyond the anchor point for
the popover, in which case the indicator arrow no longer points to the
anchor point because the popover is then too narrow.  Is there any way to
fix this?

Popovers are a Lion feature which can not be discussed here on the public 
mailing list. Please post questions on popovers to the preview developer forum 
page.

You could be talking about UIPopover, but your post was non-specific.

You can't currently throw an exception across a forwarded call. When the 
exception unwinder hits the forwarding frame, it stops and the exception goes 
uncaught. You'll need to put your exception handler at a different level.

MPMoviePlayerController setContentURL twice

[Heath Borders]

I create an embedded MPMoviePlayerController thusly inside my loadView method:

self.moviePlayerController = [[[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] init]
autorelease];

// add to view, setup moviePlayerController's view frame, etc

And I can later load a movie the user chooses thusly:

NSURL *fileUrl = ...
self.moviePlayerController.contentURL = fileUrl;

and everything works great.


However, if I set the contentURL again:

NSURL *fileUrl2 = ...
self.moviePlayerController.contentURL = fileUrl2;

This does not work, even if fileUrl2 == fileUrl1.

When I change the contentURL, I get the following playbackState and loadState:

After first setContentURL:
loadState == playable | playthroughOK
playbackState == playing

After my second setContentURL:
playbackState == stopped
loadState == unknown

I can of course create a new MPMoviePlayerController for every movie,
but I want to make sure this issue isn't indicative of a larger
problem.

Thanks!

Thanks for the info, Greg! I hope I can find a place to put the handler.

Does this limitation exist on the desktop as well?

I'm pretty sure it fails on any platform that uses the modern ABI (iOS and 
64-bit Mac), but I can't find the bug report at the moment.

(The problem is that the forwarding machinery is hand-written assembly, and 
nobody added hand-written exception unwind tables to match. With "zero-cost" 
exceptions, the unwinder cannot process a frame without its unwind tables.)

Hrm. This is actually a bit of a pickle. HessianKit implements the Hessian RPC 
API. It does so by having the client declare a protocol (and a mapping from 
Obj-C-to-Java method signatures), and the providing an implementation for the 
selector. In this case, my code is actually calling a selector that results in 
an invocation of a method on my server.

There really is no place for me to put an exception handler. I could modify 
HessianKit, and trap exceptions in the forwarding code, but there's no way to 
report the error back to my calling code.

Yep. The forwarding machinery needs to pull parameters off the stack for 
arbitrary method signatures. You can't do that in C.

Re: Exception not being caught

[Steve Steinitz]

Hi Johnathan

On 21/03/11, Rick Mann & Jonathan Mitchell wrote:


My NSOperation subclass wraps the call to the network code in a
@try/catch block. But when this exception is raised, the app
terminates due to an uncaught exception.



Exceptions on the main thread of a Cocoa application do not typically
rise to the level of the uncaught exception handler because the global
application object catches all such exceptions.

This might indicate that your exception is not occurring on your main thread.

Check out the section entitled "Controlling a Program's Response to Exceptions".


That is an interesting reference, but the behavior I see doesn't 
seem to exactly fit a threading hypothesis.


I've set up an uncaught exception handler delegate (a subclass 
of NSExceptionHandlerDelegate).  When Apple's code throws 
exceptions from, say,


+[NSObject(NSObject) doesNotRecognizeSelector:]
+[NSObject(NSObject) doesNotRecognizeSelector:]
___forwarding___
_CF_forwarding_prep_0

(probably not a separate thread)

or Core Data's

_PFFaultHandlerLookupRow
-[NSFaultHandler fulfillFault:withContext:]
_PF_FulfillDeferredFault
-[NSManagedObject valueForKey:]
-[NSFunctionExpression expressionValueWithObject:context:]
-[NSComparisonPredicate evaluateWithObject:substitutionVariables:]
_filterObjectsUsingPredicate
-[NSArray(NSPredicateSupport) filteredArrayUsingPredicate:]

(maybe a separate thread?)

my local @catch blocks are not invoked - instead, my 
NSExceptionHandlerDelegate subclass catches them.


The former is easy enough to simulate for testing but the latter 
needs a real error (doesn't it?).  My latest stab-in-the-dark 
try is to put one or two of the following at the end of 
troublesome @try blocks:


[[NSRunLoop mainRunLoop] runUntilDate:[NSDate distantPast]];

I've used those elsewhere (e.g. waiting for NSArrayController 
newObject to do its thing - don't ask :) and have noticed that 
they can throw @catch-able exceptions from the Apple frameworks.


That nastiness failing, it would be handy to have a bullet-proof 
way to @catch any exception originating from a @try block - 
non-main thread, alternate universe or otherwise.


Cheers,

Steve Steinitz

That’s a bit of an issue anyway, for which it would probably be worth modifying 
HessianKit:  Regardless of one’s feelings on the topic, exceptions are not an 
appropriate mechanism for handling either control flow or error reporting in 
Cocoa or Cocoa Touch code.

The reason is that if your exception crosses any stack frame you don’t fully 
control, all bets are off when it comes to the state of your program.  The 
frameworks have all been written with the assumption that exceptions are only 
for catastrophic (non-recoverable) failures, and that the only way to respond 
to an exception is to terminate the application as gracefully as possible.

When writing code to interoperate with Cocoa and Cocoa Touch, everyone needs to 
follow the same pattern; this is an area where (as you’ve found) impedance 
mismatch will cause problems.

Ultimately, the solution will be to modify HessianKit -- or any other framework 
that presents an RPC-style interface[1] -- to follow the Cocoa convention of 
returning BOOL (or a non-nil/nil object reference) to indicate success or 
failure, and to fill in an NSError passed by reference if the caller desires 
additional failure details.

  -- Chris

[1] Distributed Objects doesn’t work this way - it predates NSError and uses 
exceptions, which results in exactly the problems discussed in this thread.  
Often DO calls will wind up wrapped in an API that just does a @try/@catch 
around the call and returns success/failure, for exactly this reason.

Not sure I agree that this is a good reason. Prior to Mac OS X, I wrote a lot 
of Carbon code with callbacks in C++. I understood the need to install a top 
(callback)-level exception handler to ensure the exceptions weren't propagated 
back into unaware code. I did this frequently and successfully.

Cocoa's approach effectively forbids exceptions as a convenient and elegant 
exceptional-condition-handling mechanism, yet the occasional use within Cocoa 
itself means I still have to deal with the consequences.

Moreover, since exceptions did work across forward invocations prior to Cocoa 
Touch and 64-bit Mac OS X, I think it is reasonable to assume they should still 
work.

In the meantime, I've modified HessianKit to catch exceptions and return them 
as a return parameter, and all my instances of calling RPC methods now check 
their return parameter to see if it's an exception.

What I had before was better: not only could I catch exceptions in HessianKit 
(like network errors), I was also able to catch exceptions thrown in the Java 
server. It was pretty cool.

NSArrayController selected objects mystery

[Larry Campbell]

I am baffled. An NSArrayController I'm using occasionally gets into a state 
where selectionIndexes returns an NSIndex with one index, 0, which is what I 
expect and desire, but selectionIndex returns NSNotFound and selectedObjects 
returns an empty array. How can this be?

NSTableColumn dataCellForRow:

[William Weygandt]

Hi,
I know this has been discussed before, but I just don't get it:

I need to set attributes for a TableColumn cell, based on its row, 
leaving the cells of other rows, unchanged.  I tried using the method 
dataCellForRow:.  I just can't seem to make this work.  Not sure I can subclass 
this because the delegate will reference this method.

Any ideas?

Also, what documents discuss this?  I haven't found a good explanation 
in the otherwise comprehensive Apple docs.
Thank you in advance,

You shouldn't have to create a new MPMoviePlayerController. Setting the 
contentURL to a different URL works fine. Something else must be going on at 
your end. As always, my advice is: make a new project, reduce this to the 
absolute simplest possible case (an MPMoviePlayerController, its view, two 
embedded movies, and two buttons) and convince yourself. m.

Re: MPMoviePlayerController setContentURL twice

That's exactly what I did.  I have a brand new project with just a
ViewController with 3 views: 1 to hold the MPMoviePlayerController's
view, 1 button for my first movie, and 1 button for my second movie.
When the buttons are clicked, I create NSURLs from the appropriate
files.  I've included my controller.  I just set it as the window's
rootViewController in my appDelegate.  Any comments you have are
greatly appreciated!

Re: NSTableColumn dataCellForRow:

Can you ask a more specific question. We've no idea what you've tried and 
what's failed. We don't know what you mean by "can't seem to make this work". 
You might want to post some failing code, if you're not sure how to describe 
the problem. Meantime ...

You shouldn't think in terms of subclassing NSTableColumn -- it just makes it 
too hard to set things up in IB.

Instead you should use one or both of the delegate methods 
'tableView:dataCellForTableColumn:row:' and 
'tableView:willDisplayCell:forTableColumn:row:' (or the parallel variants used 
by outline views). All you have to do is the keep them straight in your mind.

'tableView:dataCellForTableColumn:row:' is called to obtain a cell to use at a 
specific row/column position, in case you want to use a different kind of cell 
(or for some reason just a different cell) from the default provided by the 
column. At the time this is called, the cell is not being configured yet, just 
being obtained, so anything you do to it is subject to being undone by 
NSTableView.

'tableView:willDisplayCell:forTableColumn:row:' is called sometime after that 
to configure a cell for use, whether the cell was provided by your 
'tableView:dataCellForTableColumn:row:' or not. (The "not" case happens when 
you don't implement that delegate method, or it returns nil.)  When this second 
method is called, the cell has already been configured as far as the table view 
knows how (e.g. it's set the correct object value), so you can make any further 
adjustments you need.

So, if your table column has a text field cell, you would use the first 
delegate method (for example) to change to an image cell in certain rows. Or, 
if a text field cell has been chosen for the row/column, you would use the 
second delegate method (for example) to change the color of the text. Or, if 
you needed to change to an image cell for some rows *and* configure the image 
being displayed, you'd do that in two steps, using one delegate method for each.

Does that help at all?

Re: CoreData migration opens ~ file by mistake

[Michael Link]

I'm running into this same problem on 10.6 when the migration is automatic or 
manual. I can always reproduce it with manual migration.

After migration and the document window is open and the application is made 
inactive and active again you may notice the title of the document has suddenly 
changed to the backup file with the ~ before the extension. It appears that the 
magic file watching behavior of NSDocument decides to switch back to the backup 
file which typically causes unexpected behavior.

#0  0x12fb9 in -[MyDocument setFileURL:] at MyDocument.m:556
#1  0x7fff80b0fdcc in -[NSDocument _handleDocumentFileChanges:]
#2  0x7fff887c67b4 in -[NSArray makeObjectsPerformSelector:withObject:]
#3  0x7fff8329523c in __NSFireDelayedPerform
#4  0x7fff887b1be8 in __CFRunLoopRun
#5  0x7fff887afdbf in CFRunLoopRunSpecific
#6  0x7fff854cc93a in RunCurrentEventLoopInMode
#7  0x7fff854cc69d in ReceiveNextEventCommon
#8  0x7fff854cc5f8 in BlockUntilNextEventMatchingListInMode
#9  0x7fff80939e64 in _DPSNextEvent
#10 0x7fff809397a9 in -[NSApplication 
nextEventMatchingMask:untilDate:inMode:dequeue:]
#11 0x7fff808ff48b in -[NSApplication run]
#12 0x7fff808f81a8 in NSApplicationMain
#13 0x1e7f5 in main at main.m:27

I've fixed this in my manual migration by using FSExchangeObjects(). 
Unfortunately the docs say that it only works on HFS+ and AppleShares... and 
perhaps you don't like to make assumptions about where people store their data.

I've also fixed this by using NSFileManager's 
-replaceItemAtURL:withItemAtURL:backupItemName:options:resultingItemURL:error:

This appears to work if you don't use the 
NSFileManagerItemReplacementWithoutDeletingBackupItem option. If you do then 
you will need to know where the backup file is located and add this method to 
your NSDocument subclass.

- (void)setFileURL:(NSURL*)absoluteURL
{
if ([absoluteURL isEqual:_backupURL]) {
[super setFileURL:[self fileURL]];
return;
}

[super setFileURL:absoluteURL];
}

Please file a bug against Xcode 4 telling the dev team that you're
using this functionality. The rest of us who were struck by this
deprecation would appreciate others speaking up too.

Thanks for your reply.

Well, the odd thing is that UITextView and UIWebView seem to very closely mimic 
each other. Neither of them match the layout resulting from using CoreText. I 
wrote some CoreText code to layout my text, some time back, and it uses very 
different spacing. WebKit and UITextView seem identical, down to the pixel, in 
layout, with only a few small exceptions, like the ones I mentioned earlier.

I have my own class and methods for converting text to HTML (including 
converting < to < etc), but I thought since this must be a common 
requirement, that there is some more robust class out there.

My particular need arises because of multicoloured text. My method actually 
takes an NSAttributedString and converts all the color changes into CSS/HTML 
etc.

Anyone out there converting text to HTML with the same layout as UITextView?

Thanks,
Tom

Re: MPMoviePlayerController setContentURL twice

I can't read that. And it isn't what I suggested you do. I said make a 
*minimal* project. Enough to prove to yourself that setting the contentURL 
works. And no more than that! Here's my code; this is what I mean when I say 
"minimal" and "simple" and stuff like that:

- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
MPMoviePlayerController *player = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] init];
player.shouldAutoplay = NO;
player.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleNone;
[player.view setFrame: CGRectMake(0,0,200,150)];
[self.view addSubview: player.view];
self.thePlayer = player;
[player release];

}
- (IBAction)play1:(id)sender { // button 1
[self.thePlayer setContentURL: [[NSBundle mainBundle] 
URLForResource:@"blend1" withExtension:@"mp4"]];
[self.thePlayer play];
}

- (IBAction)play2:(id)sender { // button 2
[self.thePlayer setContentURL: [[NSBundle mainBundle] 
 URLForResource:@"xbox" withExtension:@"mp4"]];
[self.thePlayer play];
}

That's all. It works. So then you build up from there towards what you *really* 
want to do. When it stops working, that's when you broke it. m.
