popToViewControllerAnimated does not animate since ios5 - uinavigationcontroller

as topic describes, calling popToRootViewControllerAnimated / popToViewControllerAnimated does not do any animation anymore.
the code I use, which works fine with 4.x, is simply
[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
so nothing special here. I just noticed, that for all my apps, running on iOS5, pop-animations have been gone. push-animations however DO appear.
now i wonder what to search for, if there is the need to define the transition/style of that animation?
Any help welcome, thanks!

Okay, calling "[super viewWillAppear]" in "viewWillDisappear" is sort of ... my bad!

Was having the same problem. view transition animation for poptoRootViewControllerAnimated was working fine pre ios5.0 but not in ios5. Below is a brief description to fix it.
I had implemented a custom Tab bar in view A. When I transitioned to view B from A and then back, the view transition animation stopped working for B to A. Upon looking at the view loading methods in view A and all its sub-views, my customTabBar in view A had ViewDidAppear that was erroneously calling [super viewWillAppear] inside it. When I corrected it to [super viewDidAppear] , the pop animation started happening OK.
Looks like pre iOS 5, it did not matter but now it does and rightfully so.

Delete button with dialogOK in Grid

Im trying to implement delete button in GRID, same as with CRUD. I found dialogOK (http://agiletoolkit.org/blog/introduction-to-dialog-integration/), but guess i don't know how to use it right.
My code:
$gridC=$this->add('Grid');
$gridC->setModel('Campaign');
$gridC->addcolumn('Button', 'Delete')->js('click', $this->js()->univ()->dialogOK('Yey','Some custom javascript action here',$this->delete()));
//test only
$gridC->addcolumn('Button', 'Deletex')->js('click')->univ()->dialogOK('Are you sure?','This will take you to other page',$this->js()->univ()->page($this->api->getDestinationURL('admin')));
...
function delete(){
...
}
When i click on the button the delete() function starts right away, before i click ok. Also modal window is started :(
Any suggestions, i searched but couldn't find any good example..
NEXT DAY:
I checked the thing again, im almost shure i did it the right way, but i think i found a bug i dialogOK (http://agiletoolkit.org/blog/introduction-to-dialog-integration/)
I i re-create this example on any normal page:
$button = $this->add('Button');
$button->js('click')->univ()->dialogOK('Are you sure?','This will take you to other page',
$button->js()->univ()->page($this->api->getDestinationURL('index'))
);
The page redirects to index page, it doen't wait for OK button clicked. Insted it opens the dialogOK, but in the background redirects to index page..
I'm using atk 4.2.5 from master branch..
OK, that webpage has some bugs :( I would really appreciate if you could edit it and send in pull request in Github atk4-web.
Some tips to get you on road:
Try to use dialogConfirm() method not dialogOK(). Is it working then?
Try to add ->_enclose() after ->page(). That'll enclose JS expression in function.
If dialogConfirm() works and similar dialogOK() does not work, then I guess there is small bug in dialogOK() method. There should be close: if(fn)fn(), instead of close: fn, in atk4_univ.js file dialogOK method.
Can you try these tips and tell me what works for you? Sorry I didn't do that myself - I'm really out of time now :(

ng-animate : conditionally switching "back" transition (BUG?)

Hi everyone,
reading through this google group and the fiddles and blogpost linked from there, I managed to get page transitions working with ng-animate.
Here's my Fiddle
the fiddle is nicely commented, please let me know if anything's unclear
By setting a 'transitionClass' (either .LR or .RL) on the ng-view I was able to trigger different css-transitions for every view change.
Now, what I want to do, is manually applying a "back" transition in case of changing the view one step back, no matter whether that step back is caused by a link within the app or the browser's back button.
To do so, within app.run(), I'm listening for $locationChangeStart, saving the current url slug and then checking against it on the next $locationChangeStart to determine whether we're going back one page. If that's the case, the "back" transition is applied.
This works pretty well, except for...
The entering page (.page-enter, .page-enter-active) is transitioning as expected, while the leaving page (.page-leave, .page-leave-active) seems to be stuck on the previously used transition.
I'd expect, setting a transitionClass 'LR' on the ng-view, that both pages, entering and leaving, use the css transition for '.LR page-enter' and 'LR page-leave'.
What seems to happen instead: If the transitionClass was 'ANY' before, the ng-animate will use '.LR page-enter' for the entering page and '.ANY page-leave' for the leaving page.
Reproducing the 'bug':
App starts on Page 1. Go from 1 to 2. Now go from 2 to 3, this transition is broken. Go from 3 to 1, this transition works as expected. Both transitions are 'RL' (Right To Left), so they should look the same. The only difference being that page 2 enters 'LR' while page 3 enters 'RL'. So, actually, page 1 will use the '.enter-active' transition that was originally set for page 3 when changing from 2 to 3.
Is this the expected behavior?
I'm majorly confuzzled right now, but only working with angular for the last week or so and ng-animate being relatively new feature I might very well be missing something. So before reporting a bug or anything I'd welcome any input on this.
Thanks!
Ok, so based on the comments I'm pretty sure you want the incoming page to also determine exit animations to apply to the outgoing page. So you really need your $locationChange code.
It also looks like the problem you are seeing is that you are setting a class on the parent independently on the incoming page but there is nothing to keep the animations waiting for this class change to occur.
The simplest fix seems to be to make the ng-animate depend on your changing variable to determine the animation class names:
<ng-view ng-animate="transitionClass"></ng-view>
then the CSS selectors just collapse into single classes:
.LR-enter-active {
...
}
(where transitionClass is still being set on the $rootScope in the locationChangeStart:)
$rootScope.$on("$locationChangeStart", function (event, next, current) {
...

Sometimes willHideViewController from UISplitViewControllerDelegate is not called

I have a problem.
My app is a tab bar controller and its first view controller is a split view controller.
This seems to be not ok for Apple because documents say a split voew controller must be the root, so perhaps that is the reason of my problems.
The problem is that sometimes, willHideViewController from UISplitViewControllerDelegate is not called, so, for this reason, the upper/left button sometimes is not created, which is anoying.
I realised, to reproduce this error, try several times this:
-Landscape mode.
-Select a tab different to split view controller tap.
-Move the iPad to portrait in that tab.
-Go to the split view controller tab, and sometimes, willHideViewController is not called so you will not see the upper button. However if I rotate my iPad to landscape and after that to portrait, it's fixed.
I tried to force manually several rotations to work around this problem, but no luck.
I still have to try any split view controller clone class from github or similar.
Do you have idea what's going on or any work around?
Here I show you two examples working properly.
Thanks a lot for your help.
Where do you set the splitViewControllers delegate? Perhaps you can set the delegate when you load the tab. It sounds like you set it only when you have rotated once?
Otherwise, see this example
Here they have the TableViewController be the delegate of the splitviewcontroller. Perhaps you could do the same with the TabBarController?
I've concluded that this can't be done in any way that I consider 'sufficiently' legitimate. It's possible to get frustratingly close, but the issue of having the willShow..., willHide disseminated to the split view controllers under each tab remains.
The solution that seems most likely to work is,
https://github.com/grgcombs/IntelligentSplitViewController/blob/master/IntelligentSplitViewController.m
Though this code is undoubtedly clever, it's a bit too 'side door' for me. I suspect (but don't know) that just invoking the delegate methods is not sufficient. Surely the UISplitViewController itself needs to change it's internal state as well as calling the delegate methods? This method 'just' invokes the delegate methods when there's an orientation change.
So... I've decided on a more legitimate solution, which is to use the new method introduced in iOS 5.
- (BOOL) splitViewController:(UISplitViewController *)svc
shouldHideViewController:(UIViewController *)vc
inOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)orientation
{
return NO;
}
So, the master menu is never hidden, and therefore the problem of managing the popover doesn't arise.
Of course, this is still not totally 'legit' as it still includes UISplitViewControllers that are not at the top level (the UITabViewController is at the top level, and the split views are on each tab)
Good luck with whichever solution you choose.
I'll update this reply when I've confirmed Apple will approve an app using this solution.

iPad Split View App - DetailViewController Methods Never Called

I'm using a fresh iPad split-view template application in Xcode. I've added a sample data array and the data shows up just fine in the Popover view. However, when it's tapped, it doesn't call any methods from DetailViewController.m (setDetailItem in particular) like I'd expect it to.
Am I missing something here?
(I'm not sure what code I should post for this particular question, so I'll wait on you guys to ask for it.)
Thanks SO much in advance!
To troubleshoot this issue, you should check the method called didSelectRowAtIndexPath in the delegate for the table view. I remember that was called RootViewController by default and exists in the RootViewController.m file.
It should call the setDetailItem method. Check if it does so.
Posting the didSelectRowAtIndexPath method body here will help better.

Wrapping AVCam demo from WWDC 2010

I have three camera-based apps (that take still pictures) in the app-store and have got feedback that the UIImagePickerController interface is very slow - and I can't deny that. So, to improve the performance of the app, I started to experiment with the AVCam Demo source code from the WWDC 2010.
Since the AVFoundation framework does not interact with the UI Kit, I have been successful at wrapping a view around the demo. I am able to transition between the view controllers successfully. The only thing that I've modified is replaced the Record button with the Exit button (to exit to the wrapping view controller)
The modified app works fine during the first session (wrapper -> demo) If I exit the demo to the wrapper, and come back to the demo second time , the video frame in the preview layer freezes a second or two after. The app itself does not freeze - just the video is frozen. At this point, all UI buttons are active. But, when I tap "Still" button to capture the image, I get the following error in an alert:
The operation cannot be completed (AVFoundationErrorDomain error - 11800.)
This cannot be duplicated in the original demo code - because you can't close and reopen the session. So, I am wondering if it has anything to do with the way I "exit" from the session in my test. Here's the "exit" action that I added in the demo code:
- (IBAction)exit:(id)sender
{
[[self captureManager] stopRecording];
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
Is this sufficient - or did I miss something?
Regards, Sam.
There's a little problem of cleaning up a capture session in an orderly fashion, as there's some asynchroneous calls with no alerts of when they're done.
Try stopping and releasing as suggested in this question:
How to properly release an AVCaptureSession
(take the solution with most up votes)
If that doesn't help you may need to post some more code here. Are you sure that's all you changed?
Good luck!
Oded.
