I have a problem:
NSString *filePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"Settings" ofType:#"bundle"];
NSString *settingPath = [[[NSString alloc] init] autorelease];
settingPath = [[NSBundle bundleWithPath:filePath] pathForResource:#"Root" ofType:#"plist"];
NSMutableDictionary *plist = [[[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init] autorelease];
plist = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:settingPath];
after this plist is nil, adress ist 0x0 ... but why ?
Can anyone help me ?
Below is some code that should work OK:
NSString* path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"myfile" ofType:#"plist"];
NSDictionary* dictionary = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:path];
Note that the plist must be valid, otherwise you will get a null value.
Also, note that you don't need to use alloc/init to create a variable if you're just going to overwrite its value in another call.

I am wanting to loop a local audio file in my Apple Watch App. Currently I am using AVAudioPlayerNode and AVAudioEngine which works well but I cannot figure out how to loop the sound.
I noticed that I can use AVAudioPlayer, which has the handy "numberOfLoops" but, for some reason AVAudioPlayer is not working on the watch. I have no idea why.
Here is my current code to play a sound:
_audioPlayer = [[AVAudioPlayerNode alloc] init];
_audioEngine = [[AVAudioEngine alloc] init];
[_audioEngine attachNode:_audioPlayer];
AVAudioFormat *stereoFormat = [[AVAudioFormat alloc] initStandardFormatWithSampleRate:44100 channels:2];
[_audioEngine connect:_audioPlayer to:_audioEngine.mainMixerNode format:stereoFormat];
if (!_audioEngine.isRunning) {
NSError* error;
[_audioEngine startAndReturnError:&error];
}
NSError *error;
NSBundle* appBundle = [NSBundle mainBundle];
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[appBundle pathForResource:#"FILE_NAME" ofType:#"mp3"]];
AVAudioFile *asset = [[AVAudioFile alloc] initForReading:url error:&error];
[_audioPlayer scheduleFile:asset atTime:nil completionHandler:nil];
[_audioPlayer play];
Here is the code i've tried to use for AVAudioPlayer, but does not work:
NSError *audioError;
AVAudioPlayer* player = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"FILE_NAME" ofType:#"mp3"]] error:&audioError];
player.numberOfLoops = MAXFLOAT;
player.delegate = self;
[player play];
I am using WatchKit 5.0(+).
You can loop your AVAudioFile by recursively scheduling it:
__block __weak void (^weakSheduleFile)(void);
void (^scheduleFile)(void);
weakSheduleFile = scheduleFile = ^{ [self->_audioPlayer scheduleFile:asset atTime:nil completionHandler:weakSheduleFile]; };
scheduleFile();
I'm not sure if this will be a seamless loop. If it's not, you can try always having two files scheduled:
scheduleFile();
scheduleFile();
If your audio file fits into memory, you could schedule playback as an AVAudioBuffer with the AVAudioPlayerNodeBufferLoops option (N.B. only tested on simulator!):
AVAudioFormat *outputFormat = [_audioPlayer outputFormatForBus:0];
__block AVAudioPCMBuffer *srcBuffer = [[AVAudioPCMBuffer alloc] initWithPCMFormat:asset.processingFormat frameCapacity:(AVAudioFrameCount)asset.length];
if (![asset readIntoBuffer:srcBuffer error:&error]) {
NSLog(#"Read error: %#", error);
abort();
}
AVAudioPCMBuffer *dstBuffer = [[AVAudioPCMBuffer alloc] initWithPCMFormat:outputFormat frameCapacity:(AVAudioFrameCount)asset.length];
AVAudioConverter *converter = [[AVAudioConverter alloc] initFromFormat:srcBuffer.format toFormat:dstBuffer.format];
AVAudioConverterOutputStatus status = [converter convertToBuffer:dstBuffer error:&error withInputFromBlock:^AVAudioBuffer * _Nullable(AVAudioPacketCount inNumberOfPackets, AVAudioConverterInputStatus * _Nonnull outStatus) {
if (srcBuffer) {
AVAudioBuffer *result = srcBuffer;
srcBuffer = NULL;
*outStatus = AVAudioConverterInputStatus_HaveData;
return result;
} else {
*outStatus = AVAudioConverterInputStatus_EndOfStream;
return NULL;
}
}];
assert(status != AVAudioConverterOutputStatus_Error);
[_audioPlayer scheduleBuffer:dstBuffer atTime:nil options:AVAudioPlayerNodeBufferLoops completionHandler:nil];
[_audioPlayer play];
NSString *urlString = #"http://example.com/myzip?\"30339\"";
NSLog(#"urlstring: %#", urlString);
// RETURNS=> urlstring: http://example.com/myzip?"30339"
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:urlString];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:url];
NSLog(#"request: %#", request);
// RETURNS=> request: <NSMutableURLRequest: 0x8f54480> { URL: (null) }
I am unable to complete a NSMutableURLRequest if my URL has quotes inside of it. Is there a work around for this?
" is not a legal character for use in URLs, and must be escaped instead (as %22), like so:
http://example.com/myzip?%2230339%22
here is my code for recording now how can get the level sound input in mic by sample UIlable float number
i think i will use this function but how can i use this in rec.h & rec.m file
(void)updateMeters
AVAudioSession * audioSession = [AVAudioSession sharedInstance];
[audioSession setCategory:AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayAndRecord error:nil];
[audioSession setActive:YES error:nil];
NSMutableDictionary* recordSetting = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
[recordSetting setValue :[NSNumber numberWithInt:kAudioFormatMPEG4AAC] forKey:AVFormatIDKey];
[recordSetting setValue:[NSNumber numberWithFloat:44100.0] forKey:AVSampleRateKey];
[recordSetting setValue:[NSNumber numberWithInt: 2] forKey:AVNumberOfChannelsKey];
recordedTmpName = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:#"%.0f.%#", [NSDate timeIntervalSinceReferenceDate] * 1000.0, #"aac"];
temporaryRecFile= [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[NSTemporaryDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:recordedTmpName]];
recorder = [[ AVAudioRecorder alloc] initWithURL:temporaryRecFile settings:recordSetting error:nil];
[recorder setDelegate:self];
[recorder prepareToRecord];
[recorder record];
During recording, you have to call updateMeters periodically, and get the average power by
- (float)averagePowerForChannel:(NSUInteger)channelNumber
[recorder setDelegate:self];
[recorder prepareToRecord];
recorder.meteringEnabled = YES;
[recorder record];
NSTimer* timer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:0.2 target:self selector:#selector(handleTimer) userInfo:nil repeats:YES];
- (void) handleTimer
{
[recorder updateMeters];
label.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"lf",[recorder averagePowerForChannel:0]];
}

In this app, I am using an sqlite database that was created by another app. I can query the database using the Firefox SQLite Manager and see that what I am searching for does exist in the database. I have reduced my query to something very simple, but still get nothing returned in my NSFetchedResultsController.
Here is my code:
- (NSFetchedResultsController*) frc {
if (!frc_) {
#autoreleasepool {
NSFetchRequest *fetchRequest = [[NSFetchRequest alloc] init];
NSEntityDescription * entity = [NSEntityDescription entityForName:#"INDEX" inManagedObjectContext:[ManagedObjectContext moc]];
[fetchRequest setEntity:entity];
[fetchRequest setFetchBatchSize:15];
NSPredicate *predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:#"lemma = 'dog'"];
[NSFetchedResultsController deleteCacheWithName:nil];
[fetchRequest setPredicate:predicate];
NSSortDescriptor *sortDescriptor1 = [[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:#"lemma" ascending:YES];
NSArray *sortDescriptors = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:sortDescriptor1, nil];
[fetchRequest setSortDescriptors:sortDescriptors];
NSFetchedResultsController *aFetchedResultsController =
[[NSFetchedResultsController alloc]
initWithFetchRequest:fetchRequest
managedObjectContext:[ManagedObjectContext moc]
sectionNameKeyPath:#"lemma"
cacheName:nil];
aFetchedResultsController.delegate = (id<NSFetchedResultsControllerDelegate>)self;
NSError *error = nil;
if (![aFetchedResultsController performFetch:&error]) {
NSLog(#"Unresolved Error %#, %#", error, [error userInfo]);
abort();
}
self.frc = aFetchedResultsController;
}
}
return frc_;
}
There is an entity called "INDEX" in the data model. To confirm that the entity has the lemma property, I show the content of its lemma property, getting this:
po [[entity propertiesByName] objectForKey:#"lemma"]
(id) $3 = 0x1104f740 (<NSAttributeDescription: 0x1104f740>), name lemma, isOptional 1, isTransient 0, entity INDEX, renamingIdentifier lemma, validation predicates (
), warnings (
), versionHashModifier (null)
userInfo {
}, attributeType 700 , attributeValueClassName NSString, defaultValue (null)
Examining the contents of the aFetchedResultsController immediately after the fetch (where it is assigned to self.frc) gives this:
po aFetchedResultsController
(NSFetchedResultsController *) $4 = 0x1105c5c0 <NSFetchedResultsController: 0x1105c5c0>
po [[aFetchedResultsController fetchedObjects] count]
(id) $1 = 0x00000000 <nil>
I suppose the problem here is something very basic, but I don't know what I am overlooking.
I found the answer at the Ray Wenderlich site. The problem is that the sqlite file must be moved from the application bundle to the application documents directory.
This is done by copying it form the bundle into the documents directory if it is not already there.
Here is the code for creating the persistent store coordinator:
- (NSPersistentStoreCoordinator *)pstore {
if (pstore_ != nil) {
return pstore_;
}
NSString *storePath = [[self applicationDocumentsDirectory] stringByAppendingPathComponent: #"words.sqlite"];
NSURL *storeUrl = [NSURL fileURLWithPath: storePath];
// THIS IS THE KEY PIECE TO IMPORTING AN EXISTING SQLITE FILE:
// Put down default db if it doesn't already exist
NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
if (![fileManager fileExistsAtPath:storePath]) {
NSString *defaultStorePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle]
pathForResource:#"words" ofType:#"sqlite"];
if (defaultStorePath) {
[fileManager copyItemAtPath:defaultStorePath toPath:storePath error:NULL];
}
}
NSDictionary *options = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
[NSNumber numberWithBool:YES], NSMigratePersistentStoresAutomaticallyOption,
[NSNumber numberWithBool:YES], NSInferMappingModelAutomaticallyOption, nil];
NSError *error = nil;
pstore_ = [[NSPersistentStoreCoordinator alloc] initWithManagedObjectModel:self.mom];
if(![pstore_ addPersistentStoreWithType:NSSQLiteStoreType
configuration:nil URL:storeUrl options:options error:&error]) {
// Error for store creation should be handled in here
}
return pstore_;
}
This code was working fine, now for some reason I'm getting an NSException error that's generating a SIGABRT at the following line of code...
self.popoverController = [[[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:wbPopOverController] autorelease];
Here's the method it's located in...
-(IBAction)showPop:(id)sender {
//close any open popovers
[self.popoverController dismissPopoverAnimated:NO];
// Initialize wbPopUpViewController
PopoverAircraftClass *wbPopOverController = [[PopoverAircraftClass alloc] initWithNibName:#"PopoverAircraftClass" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];
wbPopOverController.contentSizeForViewInPopover = CGSizeMake(175, 216);
wbPopOverController.delegate = self; //for update
[wbPopOverController setAircraftList:aircraftList withCurrentValue:activeRegistration];
// Object converted to UIPopOverController (retained so we can reference it)
self.popoverController = [[[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:wbPopOverController] autorelease];
self.popoverController.passthroughViews = [NSArray arrayWithObject: self.view];
[self.popoverController presentPopoverFromRect:[sender frame] inView:self.layoutViewIB permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionUp animated:NO];
[wbPopOverController release];
}
I'm new at this as you can probably tell. Any ideas as to what's generating the NSException?
