How to use direction arrow key on colab when I use mobile devices? - ipad

Recently, I’ve spent a reasonably large amount of time using google colab to do my programming. I found it is really useful and light weight, thus I bought an iPad Pro keyboard to do mobile programming, but surprisingly, the colab cell did not work with iPad keyboard arrow key, that makes me unable to use it to program. Any suggestion to fix this issue? Any one ever trying to use iPad keyboard with google colab?

iOS Simulator Rendering issue for PDF Reader Core for iOS

I have searched around on here, but couldn't find anything to answer my question. I have developed a custom app for the iPad; it involves using a set of PDf documents that change pages based on a 1 second time frame. To achieve this is have used the 'PDF Reader Core for iOS' external library. Please find the link here: https://github.com/vfr/Reader
The app works perfectly fine on the actual iPad, however I also wish to run the app on Mac Mini Machines, so the obvious thought I had was to boot the project in the iOS Simulator on the machines (saves me recoding it for OSX.). Now, here is my issue. The app works pretty smoothly in the simulator, the only issue I have is that there is a slight render lag between the page change on the Simulator. It isn't at full resolution, and appears blur whilst it renders, however the time frame to change is so quick that the simulator doesn't have enough time to render to full resolution. I have also emailed the developer of the library and he provided some suggestions however, these didn't seem to fix the issue.
I am aware that this could be to do with the actual PDF Reader itself, however I wanted to ask if anyone had any suggestions if this could be fixed in regards to the iOS Simulator? Any way to speed up the simulator?
I am using OSX Yosemite, Xcode 6.4 and Objective-C.
It seems at this moment i may have to recode for OSX. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Thanks

IOS 8 and dialog boxes

i have an app that i acquired (did not write myself). I am VERY new to IOS and xCode programming, but have been able to slug my way through a lot of the issues in the past 15 months.
Moving the app onto an IOS 8 platform has me totally stumped. My dialog boxes are the wrong size, Facebook login is sideways, twitter login is sideways, etc.
I think it is all related to the change Apple made with orientation, but i have no way to verify it or to figure out how to fix it in my code.
I know this is a stretch, but does anyone have a simple recipe to get IOS 8 to function like IOS 7 in regards to orientation of dialog boxes, etc?
Your best bet might be converting all pages to auto layout. It will allow all the controls to adapt to current size (and orientation) of the device. There were some improvements in iOS 8 that are worth learning.

Apparently random purple 'tearing' on iPhone 5 camera under iOS 7

I'm using AVFoundation to set up and display a custom camera interface. I've used a lot of code from Apple's AVCam sample code project. It works mostly but every now and then the camera display 'tears', with parts of the screen displaying a bright purple.
I have no idea why this could be happening. It seems to be completely random (usually happens when I move the camera around though). Has anyone else experienced this?
This is a common issue for iPhone 5 and iOS 7. I have experienced it quite a few times (on multiple iPhone 5 models) even with native Camera.app.
When asking questions that might relate to HW issues you'd better state your device and OS version because it can help us help you.
Try running your code on another device and if that helps I'd suggest you visit nearest Apple Store to claim this problem.

MapKit poor scrolling performance with Apple Maps in iOS 6

I am writing an app which displays a simple Apple Map across most of the screen. However, when I compare the speed of scrolling, there is a significant slow-down comparative to the native Apple Maps which come with iOS 6.
In my investigation of why, I noticed that the Facebook App (which also uses Apple Maps), the same performance hit is present.
This is most noticeable on iPhone 4 with iOS 6.
Does anyone know of a special view-related performance enhancing step or set of steps which I need to take to increase performance? I would like my maps to move as fluidly as the Apple Maps app.
I was having the same problem, and it looks like it could be due to having Development enabled on the device.
On the Apple Dev Forums I posted to ask about this for my problems (my post) and someone rightly reminded me that a lot of developers have been complaining about sluggish development devices.
So I went to the Organizer and Ignored my device from there, removing it as development enabled. I restarted the device and sure enough my MKMapView was a lot snappier. It was still sluggish at times, but the performance improved significantly.
Try it out for your device and see if you notice a difference.

KineticJS Sprite not working correctly on iPad

I'm doing a little game, using KineticJS. For the animation of the character movement, i'm using a spritesheet.
In desktop (with different browsers), the character animation is doing great, as in Android too. But, on iPad, it gets wrong. I'm pretty sure it's because the iOS platform, because neither Safari, Chrome or UIWebView displays the correct behaviour of the Spritesheet.
Can someone help me?
Thanks in advance
It's done. The bug was related to the maximum resolution iOS devices supports.
