iPhone Messages App-like recipient list view - ios

I'm trying to create a message composer view on iOS which includes a recipient list just like that in iPhone built-in Messages App:
It looks just like a UITextView, but while you were entering names or numbers, it tries to match data from address book, and once matched the entered text will change into the name in address book and have a light-blue round-rectangular background.
I've checked weiSMS but I'm afraid the source codes are too old to build for iOS 4/5, just wondering if there's any framework/components I can re-use, or any other resources that I can learn how to do it from scratch. Please kindly show me some pointers and thanks in advance!

Of course! Why, just earlier today, I found this control up on CocoaControls.com. It's crude, yes, but I'm sure with a little tweaking, you can get rid of that nasty light blue default background for the tokens.

Prevent Autocorretion of a Word in Swift

My client's chat app is autocorrected whenever it is mentioned in UITextViews within the app.
So if it's called XYZ (just making this up) whenever users type XYZ in a UITextView in the app, it tries to autocorrect it.
I know this is a small/petty thing, but he feels like it's embarrassing to see the app's name try to be changed for users of it, if that makes sense.
Any chance I could have that specific word ignored for the UITextView inside the actual app? Or does this require modifying the user's SwiftKey or something on a per-user basis to avoid?
Thanks for any help / direction anyone can provide!
A very well documented tutorial about UITextChecker given by NSHipster blog.
You should focus on the Learning a New word Section of the blog, which should give you answer
Just for the sake if people don't want to jump around links
Let’s assume that you want your users to be able to type "xyz"
exactly. Let your app know that by telling it to learn the word, using
the UITextChecker.learnWord(_:) class method:
let someNewWordTheAppNeedsToLearn = "xyz"
UITextChecker.learnWord(someNewWordTheAppNeedsToLearn)
I believe you can create a wrapper class exclusively for making app learn words and call it in your app delegate.
Apple Documentation
You can use UITextChecker in the root view controller's viewDidLoad()
UITextChecker.learnWord("xyz")

Adobe Analytics Slicing Tags

I have an iOS app where I have analytics setup (as most people do) that tracks a whole set of different scenarios. In a few of them, the data I send with the tag doesn't all get sent. What I mean by this is best demonstrated with an example. If I send the following data as a tag in one of my analytics:
User successfully logged into the app and hit the homescreen
Now, I wouldn't normally send all of that in just one tag, it would get broken up, but for example purposes, pretend that's what I want to send. For quite a few users, tags like this will get sliced up into all sorts of different tags, so when I actually look in SiteCatalyst, I end up seeing a bunch of tags that may resemble something like so:
successfully logg
nd hit the homescreen
User successfully logged into the app and hit the homescreen
User successfully logg
And so on. It breaks it up into a bunch of different parts, and then displays them all as separate tags. The ones that are affected get broken up into 15-20 different tags all of which are different parts of the full tag.
Here is the hard part: I can't reproduce the issue. I'm trying, but haven't been able to yet. I also am not very well versed in Adobe analytics and am not sure how the backend setup is for us on SiteCat.
Because of my inexperience with analytics, I'm not sure what more data may be helpful. My code doesn't do any truncation, it simply calls trackAppState:withContextData:, and the tags in my contextData get truncated like I showed.
Does anyone know why this is happening? Has anyone seen anything similar? Or could anyone point me in a direction that may get me started looking into this issue? I'm really at a loss of how to go about debugging this issue.
Edit: One piece of info that just hit me! I build up the tag in question (at least the current one I'm trying to reproduce, for all I know there are other tags that get truncated that aren't built up like this, I haven't gotten a chance to look into all of them yet.) using `-[NSString stringWithFormat:] and take the errorMessage that is returned as my message, so it's a dynamic tag.
It may have something to do with the stringWithFormat: message? Again, very lost as to where to even start with this one.
can you give us a sample of the code you use to call the trackAppState?
If it can help you you can enable debug logging for the Adobe Analytics library calling the method [ADBMobile setDebugLogging:YES]; in the appDidFinishLaunchingWithOption.
In this way you can see in the console how Adobe send the data.
You can also use the tool "Bloodhound" which is a proxy App developed by Adobe expecially for osx in order to let you sniff all the info sent by your App in real time, you can find it in the help section of the mobile marketing interface.
Thanks,
Claudio.

Formatting of #HtmlTextBoxFor MVC Visual Basic Webpage

This is my first post here although I use this forum all the time and it usually provides me with a solution, however I've searched all over the web for an answer to this and I can't find anything.
I'm developing a website which provides software support. Users log on to it and add a "support call" which a member of a support team will answer.
The problem I am facing is that when users describe their problem (inside the TextBoxFor shown below), they can type out their problem, and format the text as they please, however when the call is submitted, sometimes (it appears randomly) the formatting just disappears, e.g. some spacing and paragraph use just disappears, here is an example:
Correct formatting:
Hi I'm having difficulty with x, and y and I need some assistance.
Could somebody help me out?
How it appears sometimes:
Hi I'm having difficulty with x,and y and I need some assistance.Could somebody help me out?"
This, of course is highly simplified, and some people have to write many paragraphs and text lines.
Here is the code for the textbox (in the view):
#Html.TextBoxFor(Function(model) model.SupportCall.Subject, New With {.maxLength = "254", .style = "width:500px;"})
It is worth mentioning that when a support call is submitted, it goes to a folder which is picked up by another internal piece of software, which then creates a database record for the call, meaning that an email notification can be sent to the support team, then the list of calls to be answered is updated from that database model, therefore I'm pretty sure it's possible that this process could be what is changing the text formatting.
A reason why this is happening is just as useful as a solution to me so any input is welcome.
use
<pre></pre>
prepend and append it.

Gem for creating a left/right scrollable notification viewer for web app?

I'm new to Ruby on Rails so please bear with me.
I'm creating a web app for users to trade cards and would like to include in the user's home page a notification section that shows relevant alerts for the user based on possible trade matches and other things like new messages. The functionality would require alerts to be generated based on certain triggers (userB accepts trade, trade is proposed to userA, userB messages userA, and possibly even incorporate sponsored posts). This will basically function like the "notification center" on iOS.
I've made a quick mockup: http://i.imgur.com/hQ3Fc.jpg (or if that's too big --> http://imgur.com/hQ3Fc) -- wouldn't let me embed image because I'm new :(
So the idea is the view will probably have 5-15 alerts at any given time (give or take) and can scroll through them using those left/right arrows. The alerts will be a basic message with a link to the relevant page, or for something like a trade rating have the message "open" to fill the viewer and show the necessary functionality.
Hopefully I explained this okay. Anyone know anything out there that might make building this easier? Please let me know if there is any info I missed in asking this?
Not sure I get exactly what your wanting to do but if I understand correctly this may help. I have used swipe.js it is easy to use, should get you started on a swipeable/scrollable interface.

Where can I see how many users my Twitter-Application?

I created a Twitter-Application and want to know how many user use it (gave access to it).
I also remember seeing such a value when I was developing it, but can't find it anymore.
Can I see it somewhere or is my mind playing games with me?
Twitter used to display this number when you opened the application settings at http://twitter.com/oauth_clients, but it appears that they have taken this very useful number away.
You can email Taylor from Twitter to get the number.
