MBProgressHUD with ASIHTTPRequest - asihttprequest

I am trying to use MBProgressHUD to display a progress of download of multiple images which are downloaded via ASINetworkQueue.
I have set the hud as networkQueue's progress delegate and I have also set the mode of the hud to MBProgressHUDModeDeterminate.
I can make the hud display and hide, but I cannot change the progress. The hud just doesn't redraw itself until the networkQueue is complete.
I can see that MBProgressHUD's drawRect is never called but I don't know why.
I would be very grateful if anyone could provide a sample or pseudo code of how to achieve this.
Thanks,
Andrius

There are perhaps two likely issues:
The main thread of your application has been blocked; are you calling 'waitUntilAllOperationsAreFinished' on the main thread or similar?
ASIHTTPRequest can't report much in the way of progress if the server isn't sending Content-Length: headers, so this could also be the issue.

How to prevent preloading of fragments in viewpager?

I have 2 fragments in my viewpager.I want to prevent loading of second fragment since in my 2nd frag i am sending request to the server.I tried setOffscreenPageLimit this function but no luck..Please help me with this.
Thanks in advance
When you use ViewPager in Android there is no way to disable the pre-loading of tabs by atleast 1. That means the min for setOffScreenPageLimit is 1. This is to enable the smooth scrolling with ViewPager.
If your server request is asynchronous then you shouldn't worry about calling the server as it is done in the background thread.

How to handle dynamic overlay using webdriver

While executing a selenium script, we are getting a overlay (like popup) which is asking to confirm yes or no.
In this case the main problem being the Overlay popup does not come at a constant place,instead it comes at differen places.
example :- consider we have 4 pages to navigate some time it comes in first page and some times it comes in second page, and sometimes
it comes in the same page while we are accessing different elements.sometimes we are not getting overlay.
please let me know how to solve this issue, Thanks in advance
You can handle that through driver options, at least in Internet Explorer. This is how I do in Selenium.NET binding
var options = new InternetExplorerOptions { EnableNativeEvents = false };
options.UnexpectedAlertBehavior = InternetExplorerUnexpectedAlertBehavior.Dismiss;
It will force close any unexpected pop up.
Not sure that this is correct solution, but this must solution of your task.
You can create simple function(method) that checks for existence of this popup with some timeout. And put in in all possible places.
Or you can check it by some timer in another thread(with pause of main thread)

How to reload a page in DukeScript

DukeScript is quite clever in the way it handle changes to the Model so that code is hot-swapped at runtime, see for example here.
One thing it doesn't seem to handle at Runtime though is changes to the HTML layout. Given it runs in a WebView, a kind of a browse, it would nice just to be able to reload the page without having to stop and restart the app.
So, I've tried adding a "reload" button, but I can't find an easy way to do that after the initialization:
BrowserBuilder
.newBrowser()
.loadPage("pages/index.html")
.loadClass(Main.class).
invoke("onPageLoad", args).
showAndWait();
showAndWait() does what it's supposed to do, it doesn't return until the browser is closed. There doesn't seem any way to act on the underlying instance of a WebView and its thread.
Ha ha, simple but effective solution:
Reload
Note: Toni Epple says NetBeans would just detect the change, no reload needed.

Flex: PopUpManager giving "...null object reference" error

I have a main application calling several ViewStack states, each with popup windows. If I don't open any popup windows, I can move between states fine. If I open a popup window then try to change the state using currentState=... I get the error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at spark.components::Scroller/focusInHandler()[E:\dev\4.y\frameworks\projects\spark\src\spark\components\Scroller.as:2139]

...
I see others having the same problem, for example here:

http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-32036?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Aall-tabpanel
But I haven't figured out how to implement the recommended solution. It sounds like I should just include:
import mx.managers.PopUpManager; PopUpManager;
inside my main application and it should work, but it doesn't work for me.
My application has each view state in a different file, each defined using <views:View>. Also, all of the popups are separate files defined as <s:TitleWindow>. Each file includes this line:
import mx.managers.PopUpManager;
I wonder if this means each file is using a different popup manager(?), when it's a singleton and only one should be used for the whole app (how to set that up?).
The code I use to call a popup is:
var _popupName:MyTitleWindowFileName = MyTitleWindowFileName(
PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, MyTitleWindowFileName, true));
_popupName.addEventListener(MyAppController.CLOSE_POPUP,onClosePopUp);
PopUpManager.centerPopUp(_popupName); // call popup
Note that when the main application (the one defined as <s:Application>) runs, the ViewStack states have not been loaded yet (since they get loaded when they are used the first time). Not sure if that has any cause/effect here.
I've tried to follow Adobe's example code in the "Passing data to and from a Spark pop-up window" section here:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/using/WS6c678f7b363d5da52e8f1ca1124a0430dcf-8000.html#WS6c678f7b363d5da52e8f1ca1124a0430dcf-7ffe
Any ideas much appreciated.
Based on your comments, it seems like the error occurs because the focus remains in the popup. I would expect the PopUpManager and FocusManager classes to handle this better.
One thing I can think of is that the FocusManager may be trying to handle this. But since the state changes, the item that originally had focus (in the view stack child, before the pop up was opened) may no longer be there when the view state changes. Just a hunch, w/out seeing your code.
Here's some things you can do to either work around the problem (or better) further debug it to understand what is happening:
Use FocusManager.setFocus() to move the focus back to an object in the view stack child before closing the pop up
Use FocusManager.getFocus() to debug and see where it thinks the focus is at various stages (before opening popup, before/after changing state, and before/after closing pop up).
It appears this is the situation I'm experiencing:
Adobe Air: scroller throws error when changes focus between different applications
It's an Adobe bug. Solution from Adobe is:
This bug is easily fixed by changing Scroller to do a null pointer check on focusManager before using it.
which is what the first link above attempts to do.

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.
