步驟:
A. 在 Interface Builder 裡, 設定所使用的 UIButton 的 Attributes Type 為 Custom.
B. 在 Xcode 的 Resource 裡, 新增 QuartzCore framework, 並在 xxxViewController.h 檔中引入:
import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>

UIButton *button1;
. . . .
@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIButton *button1;


C. 在 xxxViewController.m 檔中的 - (void)viewDidLoad: 內加入以下的程式碼:
@synthesize button1;
. . . .
- (void)viewDidLoad {

    [[button1 layer] setCornerRadius:8.0f];
    [[button1 layer] setMasksToBounds:YES];
    [[button1 layer] setBorderWidth:1.0f];
   
    /* set "green border" on the layer passing it a CGColorRef. */
    [[button1 layer] setBorderColor:[[UIColor greenColor] CGColor]];
   
    /* set the background color */
    // Core Animation way
    //[[button1 layer] setBackgroundColor:[[UIColor redColor] CGColor]];

    // UIView way
    [button1 setBackgroundColor:[UIColor redColor]];

    [super viewDidLoad];

}

說明:
1. With this code the layer gets a corner radius of 8.0

2. and the -setMasksToBounds: tells the button's layer to mask any layer content that comes below it in the layer tree. This is necessary in order for the layer to mask off the rounded corners.

3. Finally, set the border width to 1.0 to display an outline around the button.

4. The default color for this border is black. You can change it to anything you like using -setBorderColor: on the layer passing it a CGColorRef (e.g. [[UIColor greenColor] CGColor] would give you a green border).

5. You can set the background color in Interface Builder or in code–whichever you prefer. There are two ways to do this in code. One using the layer and one using the UIView call to -setBackgroundColor.

The main difference between the two is that the layer works with a CGColorRef while the UIView works with a UIColor. It' s a subtle difference, but one that you should know.

iPod Touch 3G JailBreak 4.1.0

One man's poison is another man's pleasure....

1. 備份 ECID: 在 Mac OS X 下, 連結 iPod Touch 並且下載 Umbrella:
http://thefirmwareumbrella.blogspot.com/ 來執行.

2. 備份資料:
(1). 執行 Cydia 的 AptBackup (可用來備份 Cydia 安裝過的軟體清單)
(2). 執行 Cydia 的 AppBackup (備份你所下載的應用程式之存檔與設定)
a. 備份後, 需檢查 iPod Touch 上 /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/AppBackup 目錄下的所有檔案(含子目錄下的檔案) 日期是否為最新的. 如果不是的話, 必須利用 sftp 登入到 iPod Touch 裡, 並調整 /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/AppBackup 目錄下的 檔案與目錄權限為 777 (chmod 777 *.*), 之後再備份一次並檢查日期.

=> 主要是用來同步之前安裝了 JB 後才可安裝的軟體 ^^ （Cydia 以外的軟體）

iPhone 開發筆記07: 碰觸背景時關閉鍵盤

步驟一:

View-based Application:
1. view controller 的 nib 檔中的 View 圖像, 為 nib 的容器檢視.(container view)
2. 在 Interface Builder 中, 於 identity inspector(識別檢閱器)裡, 將 View 的類別由 UIView 改成 UIControl.
3. 因為 UIControl 是 UIView 的子類別, 且 UIControl 具有觸發動作方法的能力.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
步驟二:

xxxViewController.h
....
-(IBAction)backgroundTap:(id)sender;
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
步驟三:

xxxViewController.m
...
-(IBAction)backgroundTap:(id)sender{
[nameField resignFirstResponder];
[numberField resignFirstResponder];
}
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
步驟四:

將 View 上的 Touch Down 事件, 連到 backgroundTap 這個 IBAction.

iPhone 開發筆記06: 小記

1. 從 IBAction 的 sender, 取得被點選按鈕的標題名稱.
NSString *title = [sender titleForState:UIControlStateNormal];
說明:
UIControlStateNormal: 控制項為正常狀態.(有作用, 但目前沒有被使用)
UIControlStateHighlighted: 控制項正在被點選或使用中.
UIControlStateDisabled: 控制項 沒有啓用或不能使用.
UIControlStateSelected: 控制項目前被選取.

2. - (void)viewDidUnload; - (void)dealloc;
@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UILabel *statusText;

- (void)viewDidUnload {
// Release any retained subviews of the main view.
// e.g. self.myOutlet = nil;
//@add
self.statusText = nil;
}

- (void)dealloc {
//@add
[statusText release];

[super dealloc];
}

3. Events 翻譯
Touch Up Inside: 碰觸離手
Touch Drag Inside: 碰觸拖拉

4. 在 .h 與 .m 檔之間切換
===> option + command + 向上鍵

5. 調整檢視至適當大小
Layout > Size to Fit

iPC OSx86 10.5.6 Universal Intel/AMD

NoteBook: Acer TravelMate 426LC
購入日期: 2003年1月15日
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OS: iPC OSx86 10.5.6 Universal Intel/AMD
限制: 無法使用 Boot Camp
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
參考資料:

2. How to update iPC 10.5.6 to 10.5.7?
http://osx86.net/archive/index.php/t-2980.html
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
注意事項:
1. For some reason sometimes Extensions.mkext is not always cleared on the first boot causing some kexts not to load. This is easily remedied. If you installed the right drivers and they don't seem to have any effect, boot in, go to /System/Library, find the Extensions.mkext file and delete it. Then restart and keep tapping F8 to open the boot menu. Type in "-f" without quotes and hit enter to rebuild the kext cache. This only needs to be done once.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
安裝步驟:
A. 將 NoteBook 調整成光碟開機, 放入 "iPC OSx86 10.5.6 Universal Intel/AMD" 片後重新開機.

B. 從光碟開機後, 於訊息暫停時, 按 F8 進入啟動選單(start up options).

C. 在 boot: 後輸入 -v , 再按 enter. (start up with diagnostic message; 顯示診斷訊息)

D. 等待一段時間後(約5分鐘), 出現安裝的語言選擇畫面:
===> 選擇最上方的: "Use English for the main language"

E. 出現 "Welcome" 畫面時, 先等待上方的功能表出現(有時會比較慢載入)

F. 於功能表中, 選擇: Utility > Disk Utility > Erase :
===> 將硬碟重新作分割如下後, 按下右下方的 "Erase" 按鈕:
Volume Format: Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
Name: Leopard (自取)

G. 完成分割後, 按下左上角紅色的關閉按鈕, 即會回到之前的 "Welcome" 畫面, 接著按 "Continue".

H. software license agreement => Agree

I. Select a Destination => Leopard (之前分割好的) => Continue

J. Install Summary => Customize, 選取以下的項目:
=> iPC OSx86 10.5.6 Base System(預設)
=> Language Translations: Traditional Chinese
=> iPC OSx86 10.5.6 Intel AMD SSE2 SSE3:

PS /2 Device Support: PS / 2 Keyboard Fix(enables keyboard and touch pad).

===> Done ===> Install ===> Checking Installation DVD => Skip (開始安裝....)

K. 安裝完成後: Restart => 退出光碟片

L. 重新開機後, F8 => boot: -f
=> On the first boot make sure to boot with the -f boot flag! Do this to make sure that all installed kexts are loaded properly. It is only required once.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
M. update iPC 10.5.6 to 10.5.7 (似乎不太穩定, 尤其是無法正常重新開機)
a. Download Andy's 9.6.0 kernel package:
http://www.mediafire.com/?gl1nmwjen0y

b. Download Mac OS X 10.5.7 Update:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL826

c. 步驟:
1. Open the terminal.

2. Browse into main directory of your Mac OS partition.
"cd /Volumes/Leopard"
"ls -l"

3. You should see a file named "mach_kernel" there. Make a backup of it.
"cp mach_kernel mach_kernel_old"

4. Repair its permissions.
"sudo chmod -R 755 mach_kernel_old"
"sudo chown -R 0:0 mach_kernel_old"

#5. Now you can run Software Update, and get your update.
===> 如果執行 Software Update, 會直接更新 10.5.8 版本(更新後, 無法正常登入), 所以直接執行之前下載的 Mac OS X 10.5.7 Update 檔案.

6. After the update - restart your computer.

7. While booting, press F8 and write :
"mach_kernel_old -x" (無法登入的話, 參數改成: -v -x)

8. When your computer boots up in safe mode - just install Andy's package.

9. Restart and boot normally.

10. You have 10.5.7 running.

Well, that's it. You can of course make a backup of System.kext aswell, then instead of booting into safe mode and installing Andy's kernel - you can boot into -s mode and copy back the System.kext ( and repair permissions ), but i find this way more convenient.

PS. seatbelt.kext is needed on 10.5.6 to mount USB/DMG properly. Without it your system may fail to mount usb drives or images, or kernel panic at you when you try to do it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
N. Download Xcode 3.1.4(這個版本還沒有支援開發 iPhone) for Leopard
Apple’s developer website only links to the latest version of Xcode, which requires Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6).

If you’re still running Leopard (10.5), you need to go to this alternative developer website:
http://connect.apple.com/

Log in with your ADC credentials, click “Downloads”, then click “Developer Tools” in the right sidebar, and then search the page for “3.1.4″.

Mac OS X: SmartGit - Git分散式版本控制系統(DVCS)的GUI客戶端。

A. 先安裝 git:
1. 下載 git-osx-installer: http://code.google.com/p/git-osx-installer/
===> 使用版本: Git Installer 1.7.2 - OS X - Leopard - Intel

2. Step 1 - Install Package:
===> This installs git to /usr/local/git. Root access is required.

3. Step 2 - Run shell script: (optional)
===> Non-terminal programs don't inherit the system wide PATH and MANPATH variables that your terminal does. If you'd like them to be able to see Git, for whatever reason, you can run this script. It will add the PATH and MANPATH to your ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist file. You'll need to log out of your user account for that to take effect.
(i.e. 在終端機下執行 "setup git PATH for non-terminal programs.sh" 檔案)

B. 安裝 SmartGit:(正式版須付費)
1. 官網: http://www.syntevo.com/
===> 使用版本: Version 1.5.5

2. 安裝過程選擇 git 執行檔的位置: /usr/local/git/bin/git. (無法瀏覽到的話, 就自己 key in)

C. 使用 SmartGit:
1. Create a new local Git working tree:
===> /Volumes/Snow Leopard/Lanli/RD/iPhone_Projects/iPodTouch/CheckNetSample
> Continue > Initialize > Project Name: CheckNetSample > Finish

2. 將以下的檔案：
.DS_Store
*.swp
build/
*.pbxuser
*.perspective
*.perspectivev3
*.mode1v3
*.mode2v3
===> 右鍵 > Ignore => 便會自動產生 .gitignore 檔案.

3. 接著, 便可以 commit 了.
