So I have UIPickerView that isn't working the way I want it to. It works correctly about 3/4 of the time, but the other 1/4 it doesn't. func numberOfComponentsInPickerView(pickerView: UIPickerView) -> Int { return 1 } func pickerView(pickerView: UIPickerView, numberOfRowsInComponent component: Int) -> Int { return listsArray.count } func pickerView(pickerView:...

I tried different solutions, but...

I have a TabBarController with several UITabBarItems, the last of those items is the standard 'More' UITabBarItem provided by iOS. I want the title to be 'Meer' (More in my language), but when I try to set the title programmatically it doesn't work. I've tried this: UITabBar *tabBar = self.tabBar;...

I am trying to add a gradient to a CALayer I have created. I can set the background colour of the CALayer with the following: self.colorLayer = [CALayer layer]; [self.colorLayer setBackgroundColor:color.CGColor]; [self.colorView setWantsLayer:YES]; [self.colorView setLayer:self.colorLayer]; I've looked around with no success (surprisingly I thought this would have been answered many...

Is there a way that I can return value for shouldPerformSegueWithIdentifier method from my closure? Or should I do it differently? override func shouldPerformSegueWithIdentifier(identifier: String?, sender: AnyObject?) -> Bool { getDataFromSomewhere() { succeeded, data in if succeeded { // Should return true here } else { self.errorAlert("Error", message: "Can't get...

I understand how to use an NSDateFormatter to convert a month component into a long name string, but how does one convert a month name to an int? I've been using a switch statement to convert, but I'm thinking there must be a simpler way. For example, I'd like to...

The logic for this app is functioning, but the timer is not functioning properly. I have three files: ViewController.Swift, clock.swift, and clockstylekit.swift. updateTime(), located in the clock.swift file pulls the time, breaks it into its components, and returns hours, minutes and seconds and summons drawRect to redraw the visual representation...

When iOS presents an alert, the translucency is constant. When my app presents one, the alert is white at first, only for half a second, then it becomes translucent. It's a small issue, but it looks messy and alerts should be consistent everywhere I think. Anyways here is the code:...

I have 21 different images that I am using for custom annotations on a map. When I load the map initially, everything is perfect. It is when I navigate off of the area and back in that it seems that the images change. The annotation pins no longer correspond with...
