Collection View - 2D Display

/*Nothing but dividing items into number of columns and rows */

sizeForItemAtIndexPath()

It returns the size for each item. In collection view, each cell is considered as item and not as rows or columns.
To make it 2D(columns and rows), distribute the collection view frame size into several item sizes, in such a way that x number of items can be placed in a single row.
For instance, if there are 50 items( 5 items in each row which is nothing but 5 columns in 1 row and there are 10 such rows).  Given collection view frame size is 1000.

Now this can be done by dividing the frame size by number of columns,  i.e., 1000/5 = 200. So each items width will be 200.

Running Database Fetch (Core Data) in Background Thread using magical Record

   To run database fetching in background thread(in a separate context), so that the UI does not get blocked: __block NSMutableArray *dataArray= [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];   // Create a child context of the main context   NSManagedObjectContext *privateContext = [NSManagedObjectContext MR_context];   // When using private contexts execute the core data code in it's private queue using performBlock: or performBlockAndWait:   [privateContext performBlock:^{     // Execute fetch   NSArray *privateObjects;   if(entity_predicate == nil) {       //fetch all! duh!       privateObjects = [self MR_findAllSortedBy:sort_key ascending:YES inContext:privateContext];     } else {       privateObjects = [self MR_findAllSortedBy:sort_key ascending:YES withPredicate:entity_predicate inContext:privateContext];   ...

#iOS8 #XCode6 #SizeClasses

       In Xcode 6, new feature called "Size classes" have been introduced.

To set the size class: 1) Choose "Universal" option while creating the project. 2) Check the auto layout checkbox in Main.storyboard -> File Inspector -> "Use Auto Layout" 3) Check the size classes check box in Main.storyboard -> File Inspector -> "Use Size Classes". There are two types of size classes: Regular and Compact. Hence the different configurations(screen sizes) include, 1) wAny hAny - Base configuration 2) wCompact hRegular - iPhone Portrait 3) wCompact hCompact - iPhone Landscape 4) wRegular wAny - iPad Landscape and portrait On selecting the base configuration, the storyboard works the same in all devices. This can be viewed in "preview" option in the assis...

Copying Multiple Content Simaltaneously

We often used to thank   Larry Tesler    for his splendid invention "Cut/Copy/Paste". Think of the world without copy/paste :o :o :o Have you ever tried copying non-sequential content? Ctrl+v will paste the last copied content in the clipboard, whereas ctrl+c copies the content that are selected sequentially   to the clipboard. What if I wanted to copy multiple content from multiple web pages and pasting it in one go, instead of pasting one by one? Or without using paste command copy the multiple content directly to a file? Here is the solution for the Mac Users. [Windows user? Working on it. Will update asap ;) ]   Follow the steps below, which takes less than five minutes and save several minutes ;) 1)     Launch “Automator” 2)     Choose “Utilities” in the left pane 3)     Double Click “Run Shell Script” 4)     The “Run Shell Script” will be added to t...
