The child pane row color is slightly off-white on iPad. Seems to work fine on iPhone. It's more noticeable if you change the angle of your screen/monitor to enhance the contrast.

Even though delegate method

  - (UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForHeaderForKey:(NSString*)key;

is provided, it is of rather limited usability if you want to re-style group headers (for example change bg/fg colors). Basic problem is that there is no straightforward way to get group header text inside this method (so you can build custom UILabel view). To solve this problem, I have added one more method to IASKSettingsDelegate

  - (UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForHeaderWithTitle:(NSString*)title;

and altered

- (UIView *)tableView:(UITableView*)tableView viewForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section {
    UIView *result = nil;

    if ([self.delegate respondsToSelector:@selector(tableView:viewForHeaderForKey:)]) {
        NSString *key  = [self.settingsReader keyForSection:section];
        result = [self.delegate tableView:_tableView viewForHeaderForKey:key];
    } 

    if (( result == nil ) && [ self.delegate respondsToSelector: @selector( tableView: viewForHeaderWithTitle: )]) {
        NSString *title = [ self.settingsReader titleForSection: section ];
        result = [ self.delegate tableView:_tableView viewForHeaderWithTitle: title ];
    }


    return result;
}

This way it is possible to use tableView: viewForHeaderForKey: if something has to be done for particular header and at the same it is possible to re-style all headers.

Regardless of this issue, massively useful piece of code! Thanks a bunch.

Hi,
I've copied the tab bar version from app example in my project.
I can see the settings I've put in setting.bundle (root.plist), and now I cant link in IB the delegate with the ViewController, so I cant caught the events from the setting panel.
In the sample app the delegate (from class IASKAppSettingsViewController in TabBar) is linked with MainViewController.
How can I link with my MyViewController?

thanks a lot

Hi Ortwin and Luc

Seems like the leak is something serious.
I added the InAppSettingsKit to my project and added an ordinary Settings.bundle.
When I run and click the default Name field a leak starts.
I'm not an experienced iPhone developer, but thought to share this with you guys.
Sorry if I'm missing something.

Hi,

In InAppSettingsKit, a password field is a text field with setSecureTextEntry. But it also does setAutocorrectionType, which if nothing is present in the Settings.bundle defaults to UITextAutocorrectionTypeDefault, which is generally YES on most systems.

The problem is that if a password contains a sequence like '9ble' it will be changed to 'able' (with an english dictionary) without the user even noticing (nothing is displayed since it's a secure text field). The workaround is to add a AutoCorrectionType No entry to the Settings.bundle

It seems that the Settings application forces auto-correction to NO if it's a secure field and AutoCorrectionType is not specified.

I suggest to do the same, which is logical (passwords that are dictionary words are not recommended...)

Let me know what you think and I can contribute a fix.

Hi,
when using NumberPad the keyboard remains open and the only possibility to close it is to select another field and close it's keyboard (if it is not NumberPad too).

There is any way to put a "done" button on bottom/left empty place?

Thank you.

In both the default app and my application, I get a black or white bar above the keyboard that covers the preference pane.

It only happens when opening the settings pane by clicking on the Settings tab in the toolbar. In the sample app, if it is opened via a modal or push, the bar is not there.

I see that "Resize view from nib" is checked on the tab bar for the settings item in the sample app. But that seems to have no affect.

Hi all,
I have update IASKSettingsReader.m with if ([_bundle pathForResource:self.localizationTable ofType:@"strings"] == nil).

This operation will find A file of type "strings", but how to let it open the right file in order to respect user's language?

I have 2 folders in my service.bundle:

• en.lproj
• it.lproj
  inside both there is a Root.strings file.

Thank you a lot.

HI, i would like to have a PSMultiValueSpecifier or a PSGroupSpecifier using values from an array i store in NSUserDefaults (idea is to store servers and the user can add a server to store):

• can i do that with inAppSettingsKit?
• if so can we ask the settings panel to update when the user added a new entry?

Thanks

I just downloaded the latest version since I was behind in my current App and wanted to get some of the new features. I removed the old version from my project and added new files, pointing XCode at the InAppSettingsKit folder on my system. Here's what I got when I compiled my app against the new code:

Undefined symbols:
"OBJC_CLASS$_MFMailComposeViewController", referenced from:
objc-class-ref-to-MFMailComposeViewController in IASKAppSettingsWebViewController.o
ld: symbol(s) not found
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

If a custom settings store is used, it is not passed to child pane view controllers.

The following needs to be added around line 628 of IASKAppSettingsViewController.m

targetViewController.settingsStore = self.settingsStore; 

I really like what guys have done with IASK, but I need to change the IASK behavior to read and write the settings to a file in my Documents folder. I understand that there is an IASKSettingsStoreFile implementation that supports this and have tried changing the settingsStore property in the IASKAppSettingsViewController, but I'm not having much luck. My settings.plist file is read correctly, but doesn't appear get written with the changes I make.

What is the proper way to change the IASKAppSettingsViewController code to use a different (non- settings bundle) file?

In my fork, there is a partial implementation that allows one to override classes used for the switch, the cells and the table view controller, so it’s possible to create customized UI.

Currently, I’ve placed properties on the settings view controller that get assigned to classes of various cells, which is used to create them when appropriate. I’ve also re-factored the project a bit, so it is possible to create custom UIControl classes that work like UISwitch, but are not descendants of UISwitch, to allow customized switches. For example, SSSwitch from SSToolkit is used in one of my projects.

I can then do this in a IASKAppSettingsViewController subclass:

self.specifierViewControllerClass = [TASettingsSpecifierViewController class];
self.switchSpecifierCellClass = [TASettingsToggleSwitchSpecifierViewCell class];
self.sliderSpecifierCellClass = [TASettingsSliderSpecifierViewCell class];

Because UISwitch is changed to UIControl<IASKSwitchCustomizing> in IASKPSToggleSwitchSpecifierViewCell, TASettingsToggleSwitchSpecifierViewCell can then use a custom switch which would support custom appearance. As of UISlider it supports plenty of customization hooks already, so the cell just reconfigures the slider in -awakeFromNib.

I’d like to keep the fork as up-to-date with the trunk as possible, so please advise if this mechanism is going to make its way back to trunk, are there any changes or further enhancements that are required or nice to have.

Thanks!

It seems to be very easy to get settings out of sync on iOS4. Switching between the App and Settings App you can see the settings aren't always the same.

1. changing the setting in InAppSettingsKit doesn't alway sync to the main Settings App.
2. changing the setting in Settings App seems to sync back correctly, but the visual isn't updated until InAppSettings is closed and reopened. leading to confusion.

e.g.

InApp to Settings

1. Open the App
2. Open InAppSettings
3. Make a change (close or don't close InAppSettings
4. App switch to settings
5. View the setting note it hasn't updated

Setting to InApp and back again

1. Open Settings
2. Make a change
3. Open the app
4. Open InAppSettings
5. Not the change is reflected
6. Leaving InAppSettings open
7. Switch to Settings app
8. Update the settings
9. Switch back to the App (where InAppSettings is still open)
10. Note the change is not reflected
11. Close/Reopen InAppSettings
12. Note the change is reflected

And then when you create the cells just use initWithStyle:reuseIdentifier:
Then you can delete the cells' XIBs, and this way be more memory-efficient.

dear community,
i am looking for a fast and dirty way to change the wallpaper for all inappsettings views.

so far, i added this line to IASKAppSettingsViewController.m / viewWillAppear:
_tableView.backgroundColor = [[UIColor alloc] initWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"background1.png"]];
but then both table view AND table cells get the background pic individually, which looks wrong.

i rather would aim to leave the table view background transparent and change the background of the view "behind" it if there is any.

any suggestions are highly appreciated. :)

cheers,
dave

I'm trying out some stuff on iPad. One of my fields is too wide. Picture here:
http://picasaweb.google.com/ewmailing/MailingList#5497703713636723410

Here is the excerpt from the plist:

Type
PSTextFieldSpecifier
Title
Show only last # of days
IsSecure

KeyboardType
NumberPad
AutocapitalizationType
None
AutoCorrectionType
No
Key
LimitViewToLastNumberOfDays
DefaultValue
0

The layout problem only exists inside the app. From the system wide settings, the width is normal.

When the settings controller is shown in a popover and a PSMultiValueSpecifier is clicked, the popover resizes to full height of the screen even if the number of options doesn't require any resizing.

I would need to disable the email support for my application, due to conflicts with MessageUI. What is the most elegant way to do that, so I don't have to link my application with the MessageUI framework?

thanks,
Teresa

hello,
when i enter/leave the settings view via the "Settings" button in the UITabBarController
the delegate method "settingsViewControllerDidEnd" is not called.
is this behavior intended? could somebody hint to a solution how to connect this method, since i do not want to use the push or modal buttons.

thanks in advance,
best
dave

There is an alignment problem for PSTextFieldSpecifier since commit 7af791d.

It seems to be caused by this change:

--- a/InAppSettingsKit/Views/IASKPSTextFieldSpecifierViewCell.m
+++ b/InAppSettingsKit/Views/IASKPSTextFieldSpecifierViewCell.m
@@ -24,6 +24,7 @@
             textField=_textField;
 
 - (void)layoutSubviews {

    CGSize labelSize = [_label sizeThatFits:CGSizeZero];
    labelSize.width = MIN(labelSize.width, _label.bounds.size.width);

I don't know the reason for this change, but everything seems to work normal without it.

I have a PSTitleValueSpecifier that I use to store the Application version. It's default value is "1.0" but I set it to the correct value using the NSUserDefaults object. The value is displayed correctly if I use Apple's setting app, but not in my In App view. Any idea?

Hi,

I am new to Obj C but I got it to work so the modal view would dismiss. I had to comment out the if statement

if (self.delegate && [self.delegate conformsToProtocol:@protocol(IASKSettingsDelegate)])

in IASKAppSettingsViewController.m on line 250. Am I screwing anything up? I wish there was documentation that has examples/instructions on integration for newbs like me.

By the way thanks for your great settings app.

Have been testing my app and found:

• (id)settingsStore {
  if (!_settingsStore) {
  _settingsStore = [[IASKSettingsStoreUserDefaults alloc] init];
  }
  return _settingsStore;
  }
  but there is no release??

I suggest an option that allows merging of different plist files into one grouped settings panel. This way one could split up groups into files and reuse them in other places - but still can create one big settings page.

I find when I make Localization to my app.
the html files(IASKAppSettingsWebViewController) Localzation doesn't work.

Look into the code IASKAppSettingsWebViewController.h.(Line 30)
if (!self.url || ![self.url scheme]) {
self.url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath] stringByAppendingPathComponent:urlString]];
}

just by contract string.
If I make manual.html Localization, this path will be ..../en.lproj/manual.html
so the webview will not wok.
fix this we can change it to

if (!self.url || ![self.url scheme]) {

    self.url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:[urlString stringByDeletingPathExtension] ofType: [urlString pathExtension]]];
//      self.url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath] stringByAppendingPathComponent:urlString]];
    }

is it right?

What's the recommended way to add multiple indepentent instances of ISAKAppSettingsViewController to a TabBarController (to separate settings on two different views)?

It seems that they should be about 10 points further to either sides.

Is there a way to go to straight to a child plist rather than through the root.inApp.plist?

I basically have the root.inApp.plist in the main view and I have subviews that right now have a button that go to the root.inApp.plist but I would like the buttons to go straight to the child plist rather than the root.inApp.plist.

Is this possible?

Thanks Matt

Hi,

noob question but how can i call -(void)resetMethod; from within the default +(void)buttonDemoAction:(IASKAppSettingsViewController_)sender key:(NSString_)key; in the MainViewController of the demo app.

Thanks in advance

Sorry, I didn't mean to close the issue. I didn't understand what "Comment and close" meant. I thought it would close the view/window, not the issue.

Some UITableViewCell subclasses which overwrite -layoutSubviews don't call [super layoutSubviews] which results in the padding issue shown in the screenshot: http://emberapp.com/catlan/images/bildschirmfoto-2010-05-02-um-21-14-33

Also the backgroundColor on the iPad is different, it's [UIColor colorWithRed:247.0f/255.0f green:247.0f/255.0f blue:247.0f/255.0f alpha:1.0f];

Since iOS 4 there is a FooterText property available in PSGroupSpecifier.
This Property is not handled by IASK

See: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/preferencesettings/conceptual/settingsapplicationschemareference/articles/PSGroupSpecifier.html

Hi. Just like to thank you guys for IASK. It's very functional and the source looks great. I have a request, and for lack of a better place - did I miss an official forum? - I've put it here.

Documentation. Actual documentation. Of any kinda.

Otherwise, could a slider shows the current value and the min/max range

ie:
0Mb ----------o--------- 50Mb
You are currently using 25Mb

Where the 25 will change as the slider does. I'm looking at implementing this in a custom view atm, but I have a feeling that I'm reinventing the wheel somewhat, but the lack of implementation documentation (including trivial things such as enumerating all the PStypes and any dependant key/values) is killing me :(

Cheers

I've tried placing an alternate Root.inApp.plist both within Settings.bundle and within the main project directory - but in neither case does InAppSettingsKit use the alternative file.

Is this feature yet to be implemented - I couldn't find any reference to 'inApp' in the source?

I note that the default values specified in the plist don't make it into NSUserDefaults, they just appear as text in the text field on the settings screen. How do I synchronise the settingsStore with the default values that are specified? Am I missing something?

The localization work is using NSBundle URLForResource: withExtension: which arrived with iOS4.0

My Root.plist contains two PSToggleSwitchSpecifiers, configured identically except for Title and Key.

Whilst the second of these works exactly as expected through InAppSettingsKit, the first is always displayed as being off. In fact, even with a null delegate method, setting the toggle to on, exiting the settings modal view, and immediately re-entering again shows the Toggle as being off. Indeed, the value of this Toggle is only ever read in code, never altered.

If I set the Toggle to On in Apple's Settings, then load InAppSettingsKit and toggle it On then Off, the Apple Settings app show it as Off. Simply leaving the InAppSettingKit Setting page doesn't change the Apple Settings value, even if other controls are changed.

A snippet of my Root.plist is:

            <dict>
                    <key>Type</key>
                    <string>PSGroupSpecifier</string>

                    <string>... over Wi-Fi</string>
                    <key>Key</key>
                    <string>checkForUpdates</string>
                    <key>TrueValue</key>
                    <string>isSet</string>
                    <key>FalseValue</key>
                    <string>isNotSet</string>
                    <key>DefaultValue</key>
                    <string>isSet</string>
            </dict>
            <dict>
                    <key>Type</key>
                    <string>PSToggleSwitchSpecifier</string>
                    <key>Title</key>
                    <string>... over EDGE/3G</string>
                    <key>Key</key>
                    <string>allowCellularDownloads</string>
                    <key>TrueValue</key>
                    <string>isSet</string>
                    <key>FalseValue</key>
                    <string>isNotSet</string>
                    <key>DefaultValue</key>
                    <string>isNotSet</string>
            </dict>

... so the value (Off) which InAppSettingsKit always shows isn't even the default for the control!

Everything else seems to work fine - any ideas why this particular control isn't?

When I set toggle switch in table cell, it is not perfectly aligned right.
Screenshot: http://cl.ly/1p3P3b342p0J003b3w0Z

How to fix this?

In my own app and the sample app, I've noticed that when you edit a text field, the value is suddenly right justified. When it wasn't being edited, the value was left justified.

This behavior is not present in the iPhone settings app.

I see it against the 3.0 and 3.1 simulators. (Haven't tried anything else.)

Any reason why you don't have an xcode project with a static library target for easy integration into our xcode projects? The alternative of adding references to the required files directly -- as the demo project does -- is strongly contraindicated.

Your code has been a great help for me in my ongoing project.
Apparently i found a leak in the advanced section of the sample project .
When I click password and type in something a leak starts.
Didn't get time to look into it.

I have a PSTextFieldSpecifier in my plist, and since it is used for login (username/password), I need to know when the user has finished editing text (i.e. pressed Done button on keyboard, aka textFieldDidEndEditing in UITextFieldDelegate) in order to try to login (as opposed to having a "Login" button).
Unfortunately there's no method in IASKSettingsDelegate for this event, so I'm not sure how to implement this. Am I missing something, or the only solution is to add a new delegate method on my own?

Any help would be awesome, i at a dead end as to how to retrieve the data using your program from the plist files in settings bundle. Do you need to initialize the settings in the delegate and if not how do you get the data into a dic or array so i can use them in the app.

Sorry for the noob question its my first big app and i've never used settings bundle before.

Thanks

Matthew

It seems default values in my plist aren't available on a freshly installed version of my app. For example a toggle switch with default value set to YES results in a NO value until the user actually switches the toggle. I guess that's because default values from the plist aren't written to the settings storage upon first launch. If I'm right, what's the best way to deal with this? Thanks!

P.S. is this the right way to read a value?
[appSettingsViewController.settingsStore boolForKey:@"myKey"]

I'm new with objetive-c, (but I know how open a project, build and run it)
I want to try this framework to include in my app and I've downloaded it ... but I have problems to run the sample app.
What I did

• open XCode, open InAppSettingsKitSampleApp
• As Base SDK missing, change Base SDK in Project and Target (IOS Simulator 4.1)
• Build and Run ... and Build Failed (1347 errors) ... That's bad ¿is not?

Is there a tutorial for dummies?
What have I to do to run (at least) the sample app?

thanks in advanced

i am trying to create multiple IASKCustomViewSpecifier cells using the InAppSettingsKit. I noticed that in the example you have the key set to customCell. thats fine but when i added a second one and changed the key to customCellTwo it made the cell shrink. i then added an if statement in the - (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView_)tableView heightForSpecifier:(IASKSpecifier_)specifier in my mainViewController to include the customCellTwo and specified the height. so now it looks fine but the problem i am having now is that after typing something in (to the second customCellTwo cell) and getting out of the settings and going back the value i entered hasn't changed. it does work with the original customCell.

What am i doing wrong?

I tried a little experimental code to test the "mySettings" feature of the kit and found that the toggle switch does not get synchronized (writeToFile) like many of the other features. I suspect that this applies to the slider also. Seems like they both end up with only defaultCenter notifications that do not call the IASKSettingsStoreFile synchronize method.

He is my trial code just in case I am doing something wrong:

• (IBAction)showSettingsPush:(id)sender {
  //[viewController setShowCreditsFooter:NO]; // Uncomment to not display InAppSettingsKit credits for creators.
  // But we encourage you no to uncomment. Thank you!
  self.appSettingsViewController.showDoneButton = NO;

  NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
  NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];

  // the path to write file
  NSString *settingsFile = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"mySettings"];

  IASKSettingsStoreFile* mySettingsBundle = [[IASKSettingsStoreFile alloc] initWithPath:settingsFile];
  self.appSettingsViewController.settingsStore = mySettingsBundle;

  BOOL testbool = [mySettingsBundle boolForKey:@"toggleSwitch"];

  NSLog(@"testbool = %@",(testbool ? @"YES" : @"NO"));

  [mySettingsBundle release];

  //self.appSettingsViewController.settingsStore =IASKSettingsStoreFile:
  [self.navigationController pushViewController:self.appSettingsViewController animated:YES];
  }

As per subject, I have added a custom button. My callback gets triggered, but the passed key is an empty string even if I set Key in the plist item.

By the way, is there any way to get a reference to the triggered button?
I am a bit of a noob. I expected the sender to be the button, not the controller. I'm parsing down the subviews using introspection to get the button, with no success so far.

Thank you, keep up the good job.

There seems to be two_keyboardWillShow issues with the current version when using with iPad2 and a SplitViewController.

1. When app is started in landscape mode the logic

if (UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft == self.interfaceOrientation ||UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight == self.interfaceOrientation )

does not successfully detect the orientation and the correct view frame size changes are not made.

I added this function to get it to work, although you may want to come up with a better one:

• (BOOL)screenOrientation {
  if (([[UIApplication sharedApplication] statusBarOrientation] == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft) ||
  ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] statusBarOrientation] == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight)) {
  //landscape view
  return YES;
  }

  /// portrait view
  return NO;
  }

Seems like the status Bar info is more reliable.

1. In either landscape or portrait the calc

CGRect viewRectAbsolute = [_tableView convertRect:_tableView.bounds toView:[[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow]];

returns invalid x,y coordinates for a popover view. If I use

CGRect viewRectAbsolute = [_tableView convertRect:_tableView.bounds toView:appDelegate.splitViewController.view];

the correct x,y coordinates are returned.

Probably need some code to test
if iPad and SplitViewController and Popover
do special for this condition
else
do what you currently do

Hope this helps
