iPhone development can be intimidating, especially to someone who’s unfamiliar with Macs, or the way iPhone apps work.

But with currently more than 100,000 apps officially available from the App Store, it’s kind of hard for a developer to ignore the potential market the iPhone provides.

And there are apps for virtually anything you could think of, from games to productivity apps to horoscopes to news and more.

Below are 70 tools, tutorials, and resources to help you get started developing your own iPhone apps. There’s everything from basic tutorials to templates to resource libraries to help you on your way.

The Original paper come from: http://dewpoint.snagdata.com/2008/10/31/drawing-a-grid-in-a-uitableview/

 UITableView is probably the most used view on the iPhone. It’s flexible and the UI is ideally suited to use on the iPhone. There are lots of examples on how to add multiple items to a UITableViewCell. However, I needed to present some data in a more traditional spreadsheet style grid. The results worked well and enabled me to pack a lot of information on the screen that was very hard to follow without the vertical grid. I’ll show a very simplified version here you can use to add vertical lines to your UITableView.

 First we need to create a subclass of UITableViewCell. This is so we can override drawrect and draw our lines and to add an array to hold a list of positions where we’ll draw the lines.

@interface MyTableCell : UITableViewCell {
	NSMutableArray *columns;
}
- (void)addColumn:(CGFloat)position;
@end

 In this simplified example we’ll leave the positioning of the actual text in the cells in the UITableViewController and place it manually (full source code is attached at the end). We’re just providing a mechanism for drawing vertical lines to make a grid. Column locations are added by calling addColumn:

- (void)addColumn:(CGFloat)position {
	[columns addObject:[NSNumber numberWithFloat:position]];
}

 Now lets override drawRect. In it we grab the current graphics context and set the line color and width. Then we iterate over our columns array drawing a line from the top of the cell row to the bottom at each position stored in the array.

- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect {
	CGContextRef ctx = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
	// Use the same color and width as the default cell separator for now
	CGContextSetRGBStrokeColor(ctx, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 1.0);
	CGContextSetLineWidth(ctx, 0.25);
 
	for (int i = 0; i < [columns count]; i++) {
		CGFloat f = [((NSNumber*) [columns objectAtIndex:i]) floatValue];
		CGContextMoveToPoint(ctx, f, 0);
		CGContextAddLineToPoint(ctx, f, self.bounds.size.height);
	}
 
	CGContextStrokePath(ctx);
 
	[super drawRect:rect];
}

 To add columns to the view just call

[cell addColumn:50];

 when you’re building each cell.

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
 
	NSString *MyIdentifier = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"MyIdentifier %i", indexPath.row];
 
	MyTableCell *cell = (MyTableCell *)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:MyIdentifier];
 
	if (cell == nil) {
		cell = [[[MyTableCell alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero reuseIdentifier:MyIdentifier] autorelease];
 
		UILabel *label = [[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0, 0, 30.0,tableView.rowHeight)] autorelease];
		[cell addColumn:50];
		label.tag = LABEL_TAG;
		label.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:12.0];
		label.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", indexPath.row];
		label.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentRight;
		label.textColor = [UIColor blueColor];
		label.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleRightMargin |
		UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight;
		[cell.contentView addSubview:label]; 
 
		label =  [[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(60.0, 0, 30.0,tableView.rowHeight)] autorelease];
		[cell addColumn:120];
		label.tag = VALUE_TAG;
		label.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:12.0];
		// add some silly value
		label.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", indexPath.row * 4];
		label.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentRight;
		label.textColor = [UIColor blueColor];
		label.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleRightMargin |
		UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight;
		[cell.contentView addSubview:label];
	}
 
	return cell;
}

 That’s it. Being a bit dense I beat my head on my desk a few days before it become obvious how blindingly simple it really was. A lot was just learning ObjectiveC and how UIKit works in general. I’m now working on a GridTableView library that will add a good bit of functionality and ease of use. I’ll post it here.

 

 怎么在iPhone程序中读取PDF的内容呢？答案是，苹果为我们准备了一个很神奇的framework Q2D（Quartz 2D）。Q2D提供了全套的PDF读取API，接下来我们来看看如果简单的使用Q2D来读取PDF文件：

 我建立了一个工程叫iPhonePDF, 添加了一个UIScrollView（不知道怎么添加UIScrollView? 添加一个UIView然后把interface上的UIView改成UIScrollView就可以啦…）名为PDFView

看看PDFView里面有什么吧

@interface PDFView : UIScrollView {
 NSString *filePath;
 CGPDFDocumentRef pdfDocument;
 CGPDFPageRef page;
 int pageNumber;
}
 
@property (copy, nonatomic) NSString *filePath;
@property int pageNumber;
 
-(CGPDFDocumentRef)MyGetPDFDocumentRef;
-(void)reloadView;
-(IBAction)goUpPage:(id)sender;
-(IBAction)goDownPage:(id)sender;
@end

filePath是储存pdf文件的位置的，得到文件位置就是老话题了：[NSBundle mainBundle]… 后面的会写吧… 不记得了在我博客里面搜索吧

CGPDFDocumentRef是PDF文档索引文件，Q2D是Core Foundation的API，所以没看到那个星星～

CGPDFPageRef是PDF页面索引文件

pageNumber是页码

下面的几个函数其实一看就明了了，翻页的，和刷新页面的。第一个是自定义的getter

然后我们看看m文件里面有用的方法：

@implementation PDFView
@synthesize filePath,pageNumber;
 
- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect //只要是UIView都有的绘图函数，基础哟～
{
 if(filePath == nil) //如果没被初始化的话，就初始化
 {
  pageNumber = 10;   //这个其实应该由外部函数控制，不过谁让这个程序特别简单呢
  filePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"zhaomu" ofType:@"pdf"];
                //这里，文件在这里！
  pdfDocument = [self MyGetPDFDocumentRef]; //从自定义getter得到文件索引
 }
 
 CGContextRef myContext = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
        //这个我研究了一段时间呢，不过就照打就可以了
 
 page = CGPDFDocumentGetPage(pdfDocument, pageNumber);
        //便捷函数，告诉人家文档，告诉人家页码，就给你页面索引
 
 CGContextDrawPDFPage(myContext, page);
        //画！
}
 
//此getter可以考虑照打... 都是CF函数，我看到就恶心。
//其实不是很难了，得到文件，转换成URL，然后通过
//CGPDFDocumentCreateWithURL(url)得到文件内容索引
//Ta Daaa~~
- (CGPDFDocumentRef)MyGetPDFDocumentRef
{
 CFStringRef path;
 CFURLRef url;
 CGPDFDocumentRef document;
 path = CFStringCreateWithCString(NULL, [filePath UTF8String], kCFStringEncodingUTF8);
 url = CFURLCreateWithFileSystemPath(NULL, path, kCFURLPOSIXPathStyle, 0);
 CFRelease(path);
 document = CGPDFDocumentCreateWithURL(url);
 CFRelease(url);
 return document;
}
 
-(void)reloadView
{
 [self setNeedsDisplay]; //每次需要重画视图了，就call这个
}
 
-(IBAction)goUpPage:(id)sender
{
 pageNumber++;
 
 [self reloadView];
}
-(IBAction)goDownPage:(id)sender
{
 pageNumber--;
 [self reloadView];
}
@end

 

 Core Data是个好东西，在数据储存操作上速度快，容易操作，是一种类似关系数据库的东西。但是有些不那么好学，那到底Core Data是怎么操作的呢？怎么用呢？怎么来编程呢？我们一起来学习吧，接下来使用苹果提供的实例程序Locations来作分析：

 

>程序介绍：

右侧是改程序的截图，基本上来说就是通过使用Core Location来得到当时的位置，然后在点击“+”的时候记录下当时的经纬度。通过UITableViewController的功能来添加，编辑，删除等功能。整体程序使用Core Data来储存数据，实体（Entity）为一个位置，包括以下参数：1，时间（收集数据的时间）2，纬度，3，经度

首先我们看看该程序的AppDelegate.h

  

从上面的我们能看出来，该程序是通过一个根Core Data数据管理来管理整个程序的CoreData数据的，接下来看m文件也会对此作更多的理解。

 

 

从上面的程序主代理文件可以看出，CoreData的简单使用不过是通过三个组建。

NSManagedObjectModel来描述实体与实体的关系，也就是类似于表和表的关系。
NSManagedObjectContext来得到被储存内容的文件管理器，对数据作直接操作
NSPersistentStoreCoordinator来管理数据的储存位置，储存方法(SQLite)

你对Core Data理解更多了么？

 

补一下“实体”的概念，实体也就是Entity，在打开xcdatamodel文件的时候，我们可以看到

在这里，这个实体叫“Event”，而实体的参数有“创建日期”，“纬度”，“经度”。也就是说，其实这个实体被使用后，我们可以这样理解，实体就是表名，而参数就是列名，然后整个实体就是一张表。当这个Model描述多个实体的关系的时候，就像是一个关系型数据库一样，虽然苹果说“不是！”
