UITextField gets cleared when clicked
Such small problem, but can cause lot of irritation. To prevent UITextField from being cleared, just set clearsOnBeginEditing property to NO:
inputField.clearsOnBeginEditing = NO;
Error launching remote program: failed to get the task for process
Today I had such error, and after firing, my app was closed and I was unable to debug:
Solution was pretty simple, all I had to do, was to remove Entitlements.plist in my Debug target:
Strange, but after that, I can debug again. For this project I’m using pretty old XCode 3.2.5 with iOS SDK 4.1
How to display text as texture using GLKit with OpenGL 2.0 in iPhone iOS?
It’s quite easy if you know where to start. There are two ways, you can use UILabel or NSString. With UILabel you can control width and height of rendered texture, also you have words wrap and text aligning.

NSError *error; UILabel *myLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 200, 30)]; myLabel.text = @"Hello world!"; myLabel.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Helvetica" size:18]; myLabel.textColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0/255.0 green:0/255.0 blue:0/255.0 alpha:1]; myLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor]; UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(myLabel.bounds.size); CGContextTranslateCTM(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), 0, 30); CGContextScaleCTM(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), 1.0, -1.0); [myLabel.layer renderInContext:UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()]; UIImage *layerImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext(); UIGraphicsEndImageContext(); if (error) { NSLog(@"Label::initWithText - Error loading texture from image: %@",error); } |
So step by step:
1. first we need our UILabel, in CGRectMake we are setting our text size (rectangle)
2. then we need our text to display, also font using UIFont class
3. setting text color is also easy, but then comes little trick – you can use “clearColor” with background to make it transparent
4. next thing is to start new image context with UIGraphicsBeginImageContext
5. next 2 line are important if you don’t want your text to be vertically flipped (third parameter in CGContextTranslateCTM is our UILabel height)
6. then we need to render our label using renderInContext
7. and finally we have ready to use texture using UIImage
iOS throws: “sgx error: background gpu access not permitted”
Well, this one can be really painful. But solution is simple, just make sure you are stopping every OpenGL AND sound activity in applicationWillResignActive function, not in applicationDidEnterBackground (becouse it’s too late, app is already in background and no OpenGL/Sound is allowed, you can add playing sounds in background into plist but OpenGL won’t be allowed anyway).
