NOTE: The type of column where we want to store NSDate should be DATETIME in both the methods.

Method 1: using timeIntervalSince1970

Writing NSDate to sqlite3 DB

NSDate *dateToWrite = [NSDate date]; // current date

double valueToWrite = [date timeIntervalSince1970];

// save “valueToWrite” in DB as DOUBLE

Read NSDate from sqlite3 DB

//read double from sqlite3 DB n store it in valueFromDB(double)

NSDate *dateFromDB = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSince1970:valueFromDB];

Method 2: using NSDateFormatter ( i prefer )

Writing NSDate to sqlite3 DB

NSDate *dateToWrite = [NSDate date]; // current date

NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];

[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd"];

NSString *stringToWrite = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:dateToWrite];

//save “stringToWrite” in DB as TEXT

[dateFormatter release], dateFormatter = nil;

Reading NSDate from sqlite3 DB

//read TEXT from sqlite3 DB n store it in stringFromDB(NSString*)

NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];

[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd"];

NSDate *dateFromDB = [dateFormatter dateFromString:stringFromDB];

[dateFormatter release], dateFormatter = nil;

I personally prefer the 2nd method here though it takes more number of lines to do it. ( sometimes it’s better to write more number of lines )

While accessing database file from terminal we can easily read the stored date as it is very much humanly readable.

Happy Coding…

Thanks and enjoy the song…. :)

Ok enough of this….Lets see how to enable this keyboard to be used everywhere. (By default this keyboard is only works on iPhones from Japan)

Step1:

Note: This code does not work on iPhone Simulators, Works only on devices.

Step2: After running this code for once, go into “Settings” > “General” > “Keyboard” > “Japanese Keyboard”. Enable the “Emoji” keyboard.

Step3: Open any Notes.app & see the magic.

Note: According to Apple Forums its a private API, then how does applications on appStore are allowed to use it?

Image showing flipping view

All we need to do is use custom UIBarButtonItem with CustomView for this.

Step 1: Create UIBarButton with CustomView

 //initialize bar button views
 barButtonSuperView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 34, 30)];
 barButtonPrimaryView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 34, 30)];
 UIButton * primaryButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
 primaryButton.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 34, 30);
 [primaryButton setBackgroundColor:[UIColor greenColor]];
 [primaryButton addTarget:self action:@selector(flipAction:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
 [barButtonPrimaryView addSubview:primaryButton];
 
 barButtonSecondaryView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 34, 30)];
 UIButton * secondaryButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
 secondaryButton.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 34, 30);
 [secondaryButton setBackgroundColor:[UIColor redColor]];
 [secondaryButton addTarget:self action:@selector(flipAction:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
 [barButtonSecondaryView addSubview:secondaryButton];
 
// self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = [[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:barButtonSuperView] autorelease];
 UIView * barButtonSuperSuperView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 34, 30)];
 barButtonSuperSuperView.backgroundColor = [UIColor viewFlipsideBackgroundColor];
 [barButtonSuperSuperView addSubview:barButtonSuperView];
 self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = [[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:barButtonSuperSuperView] autorelease];
 [barButtonSuperSuperView release], barButtonSuperSuperView = nil;

Step 2: Use UIView transition effects

 [UIView beginAnimations:@"BarButtonViewAnimation" context:NULL];
 [UIView setAnimationDuration:kTransitionDuration];
 
 [UIView setAnimationTransition:([barButtonPrimaryView superview] ?
 UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromLeft : UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromRight)
  forView:barButtonSuperView cache:YES];
 
 if ([barButtonPrimaryView superview])
 {
 [barButtonPrimaryView removeFromSuperview];
 [barButtonSuperView addSubview:barButtonSecondaryView];
 }
 else
 {
 [barButtonPrimaryView removeFromSuperview];
 [barButtonSuperView addSubview:barButtonPrimaryView];
 }
 
 [UIView commitAnimations];

Here is the complete demo code. link

The solution is simple. Generally what we do is we create custom UIView and add it inside UITableViewCell. Just we need to do some extra coding in UIView. as shown in TableViewSuite.

CustomCellView.h

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface CustomCellView : UIView {
 BOOL highlighted;
}

@property (nonatomic, getter=isHighlighted) BOOL highlighted;

@end

CustomCellView.m

#import "CustomCellView.h"

@implementation CustomCellView

@synthesize highlighted;

- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame {
 if (self = [super initWithFrame:frame]) {
  // Initialization code
}
  return self;
}
- (void)setHighlighted:(BOOL)isHighlighted {
 // If highlighted state changes, need to redisplay.
 if (highlighted != isHighlighted) {
 highlighted = isHighlighted; 
 [self setNeedsDisplay];
 }
}
- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect {
 UIColor *nameTextColor;
 if( self.highlighted ) {
 nameTextColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
 }else {
 nameTextColor = [UIColor blackColor];
 }

// Draw code
}
- (void)dealloc {
[super dealloc];
}
@end

Happy Coding..

Step 1: Send username and password to login server

Https request url:
https://login.yahoo.com/config/pwtoken_get?src=ymsgr&login=<username>&passwd=<password>
Https response and meaning:

• Invalid username  : 1235
• Wrong password  : 1212
• Information Valid : 0 ymsgr= <token>partnerid=<pid>

data is used in step 2 for further processing.
Note: and seem to appear in pair for given username and password

Step 2: Send token to login server

Https request url:
https://login.yahoo.com/config/pwtoken_login?src=ymsgr&token=<token>
Https response and meaning:

• Invalid ymsgr  : 100
• Information Valid : 0 crumb=<crumb> Y=<Y-Cookie> T=<T-Cookie> cookievalidfor=

<crumb>, <Y_Cookie>, <T_Cookie> and <B_Cookie> are used in client authentication on receiving challenge string from Pager server.
Note: is received in header of the reponse.

Step 3: After receiving challenge string from pager server

When client receives challenge string from pager server, it sends encrypted response to server. This response is formed using received in Step 2 and challenge received from pager server.
Process for forming response:

• crypt = crumb + challenge
• hash = MD5(crypt)
• response = BASE64(hash)
• replace ‘+’ by ‘.’ in response
• replace ‘/’ by ‘_’ in response
• replace ‘=’ by ‘-’ in response

Client sends this calculated response for received challenge along with <Y_Cookie>, <T_Cookie> and <B_Cookie>.
