i was digging on "How to get data from UIPasteboard while App is in background state" but could not find something useful.i followed this Link
and this but not helpful. any suggestions will be appreciated.
Daan Raman had a tutorial here. It have everything you want.
There are total 4 type of UIPasteboardNotifications
UIPasteboardChangedNotification;
UIPasteboardChangedTypesAddedKey;
UIPasteboardChangedTypesRemovedKey;
UIPasteboardRemovedNotification;
UIPasteboardChangedNotification generate notification when the pasteboard item changed. UIPasteboardChangedTypesRemovedKey and UIPasteboardRemovedNotification are the changes which are mode in pasteboard dictionary. UIPasteboardRemovedNotification when an app remove the pasteboard object.

In an app called 'A', I copyed three strings to system pasteboard at different times. how can I copy them to my app at once.
go to safari copy a string: “a”
then still in the safari, copy another string: “ab”
go to my app. I already know I can get string “ab” very easy, just like you said. but I want to get both “a” and “ab”.
I konw an app called 'Pin' can store the pasteboard history items.how does it do that?
Any help would be very much appreciated.
You should see more UIPasteboard doc
var strings: [String]?
An array of strings in all pasteboard items.
Usage:
UIPasteboard.generalPasteboard().strings = ["hello", "www.abc.com"]
Is there a way to get raw data of image from UIPasteboard instead of UIImage if it's copied by another app such as photos or mobile safari?
I'm currently facing wired differences between IOS 6.0 and IOS 6.1(7.0 also)
In IOS 6.0, UIPasteboard's item of the copied image by photos or mobile safari contains raw data of the image.
But In IOS 6.1 and above, it contains UIImage instead of raw data.
In IOS 6.0, copied item of UIPasteboard is below
Printing description of array:
<__NSArrayM 0x8a804c0>(
{
"com.compuserve.gif" = <47494638 39614002 ...... 3b3a2000 3b>;
"public.url" = "url of the image....";
}
)
In IOS 6.1 and above, it contains UIImage instead of raw data.
Printing description of array:
<__NSArrayM 0xa25b7b0>(
{
"com.compuserve.gif" = "<UIImage: 0x9429570>";
"public.url" = "url of the image...";
}
)
If that image format is PNG or JPEG, it's not that bad.
(I still have to compress again if it's JEPG though.)
But when I try to paste animated gif image, it becomes more complicated.
I don't know even it's passible to create animated gif image from normal UIImage.
I can download again from original url, but downloading data that I already have seems not good solution I think.
And also, if it's copied from photos app, there's no such url. (there's some mysterious uri named "com.apple.mobileslideshow.asset-object-id-uri" that is undocumented instead of url)
There seems a workaround, because when I try to do exactly same action between photos and email app, It works properly
Any suggestions?
Well now, I figured it out myself.
You can simply get raw (binary)data of the image form general pasteboard by sending
dataForPasteboardType:(NSSting*)PasteboardType message to general pasteboard, if it's copied from Apple's built-in Mobile Safari or Photos App. (#"com.compuserve.gif" for the pasteboard type in my case)
I myself feel a bit foolish for not having checked all the passible methods sooner. :(
My confusion comes from items property of the UIPasteboard.
I thought that items are containing all of data of current pasteboard. So I try to save that array from pasteboard and want to use it later, but I were totally wrong.
As documented in UIPasteboard Class Reference, the items property contains dictionary with key being the representation type and the "value" the object associated with that type.
At this point of time, The "value" refers really "value" of the representation, not the data of that type. This meaning of the "value" is the same as the value of thesetValue: forPasteboardType: method.
On the other words, you cannot retrieve raw(binary) data of the image from items property, even if you set the image to the pasteboard by sending setData: forPasteboardType: message.(I tested it on IOS 7)
In addition, raw data of the image from items property in IOS 6.0 seems a bug of that OS version. (This may not true, it's just my opinion)
You can get NSData from UIPasteboard if you specify right PasteboardType:
NSData* pasteData = [[UIPasteboard generalPasteboard] dataForPasteboardType:(NSString*)kUTTypeJPEG];
Do not forget to import
<MobileCoreServices/MobileCoreServices.h>
The UIPasteBoard will contain whatever is placed in it. It's up to the app that is copying to the paste board to put the contents in the proper format. The app can place items as raw binary data or as objects such as UIImage in the paste board.
If you're getting something different between iOS versions, you're probably using different versions of the app or it's simply copying things differently.
You're right that you can't represent an animated GIF in a UIImage because a UIImage only contains a single image. Perhaps the app is just copying the first frame's bitmap data in that case?
You can convert a UIImage to raw JPEG data using UIImageJPEGRepresentation.
I get binary array then convert it and save in Documents folder and then showed in QLPreviewController. I have seen the right button on the tool bar of QLPreviewController.
I want to print that is in the preview right now. But when i tab error occurs
*** Assertion failure in -[UIDocumentInteractionController setURL:], /SourceCache/UIKit_Sim/UIKit-2380.17/UIDocumentInteractionController.m:960
Also please guide me about printing that document. I have read about UIPrintInteractionController.
Why this Error occurs because you have set the URL wrong.
You are setting url like that;
/Users/akrama2/Library/Application%20Support/iPhone%20Simulator/6.1/Applications/59356D13-C021-431F-A5D2-B8CD16E2B301/Documents/Application_Report.pdf
Where as UIDocumentationController task URL as:
file://localhost/Users/akrama2/Library/Application%20Support/iPhone%20Simulator/6.1/Applications/59356D13-C021-431F-A5D2-B8CD16E2B301/Documents/Application_Report.pdf
This minor mistake will made you mad ;)
I am trying to get the value "HELLO" of the UILabel shown in the iPad simulator.
I have enabled accessibility and have set the label as "Label Access".
But when I call target.logElementTree(), both the name and value are set to "LabelAccess" and as far as the apple docs say, the value field should contain the string that is set (in this case "Hello").
Does anybody know a fix for this?
PS: I am using the latest iOS SDK and Xcode.
Apple Stack Exchange
I think you encountered a UIAutomation bug that exists since forever.
Easiest way to get around this bug is to set the accessibilityValue to your text in code.
Something like this.
NSString *valueString = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d", value];
self.label.text = valueString;
self.label.accessibilityValue = valueString;
Helps those people that use Voice Over too ;-)
thanks for the workaround. Doesn't look like this bug has been fixed.
Came across this while writing Appium test for the iOS app. The element found by the driver somehow only contains accessibilityLabel and accessibilityIdentifier but not the actual text that's shown on the screen.
<XCUIElementTypeStaticText type="XCUIElementTypeStaticText" value=<accessibilityLabel> name=<accessibilityIdentifier> label=<accessibilityLabel> .../>
Has someone found if this issue has been logged with apple?
EDIT: Refer to this answer and the comment underneath. https://stackoverflow.com/a/11411803/4725937
Basically need to use [accessibilityValue]: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiaccessibilityelement/1619583-accessibilityvalue for accessible components for the display text to show up as XCUIElementTypeStaticText.value in the page source.
For eg:
someUILabel.accessibiityLabel = "This is used for voice-over"
someUILabel.accessibilityValue = "This is displayed text"
I recently found this very interesting article on APNS and Emoji characters: EASY APNS - Just for fun
It contains a list with all supported Emojis. However, I couldn't get them to display in my push notifications. All I get is the code, not the image. For example, if I add \ue415 (a smiley) to my message, I never see the image, just the code.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
NSString *emoji = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%C", 0xe415];
check out this site http://code.iamcal.com/php/emoji/
he does the emoji in php.
i use this command to achieve a emoji on the iphone.
emoji_unified_to_softbank("\xee\x80\xac");
Q
If you happen to be using Rubymotion for iOS dev the you can use the softbank code converted like this:
softbank code: U+E04A
Rubymotion string sent as push: "This is a sun with rays emoji \ue04a"
