KATG iPhone App Take 2

[Rufio]

so if u had to estimate, when should we expect the KATG app?

btw from what i've seen so far it looks pretty awesome

There is no way for me to say for sure. I've submitted twice and been rejected twice for totally different reasons. I think it'll be live by the end of June, but it's really not up to me.

This is what the countdown looks like right now. I haven't made any logic to say that if the show is live to change the label to right now or whatever. This will come next.

Also it feels cluttered so I need to tinker with layout.

And as always every time I add something it gets a little slower so I think I need to stop adding features and tune for awhile, clean up the codebase, etc.

looking good!
if you get stuck transcribing theGrundle's countdown logic i have it in 2 other languages, although i'm sure he's already got you covered... (theGrundle == godfather of katg apps)

I just poll the events feed and search for a live show, that is in the future. Then I make a NSDate object out of it and ask for time since now. This is fairly snappy and doesn't get tripped up by time zones.

NSDate *eventTime = [formatter dateFromString: feedTime];
			
			timeSince = [eventTime timeIntervalSinceNow];
			
			match1 = [feedTitle rangeOfString:@"Live Show" options:NSCaseInsensitiveSearch].location != NSNotFound;
			match2 = timeSince > 0;
			
			feedEntryIndex = feedEntryIndex - 1;
		}
		
		int s = 0;
		int m = 0;
		int h = 0;
		int d = 0;
		
		int temp = timeSince;
		
		if (timeSince > 60) {
			s = timeSince % 60;
			timeSince /= 60;
			
			if (timeSince > 60) {
				m = timeSince % 60;
				timeSince /= 60;
				
				if (timeSince > 24) {
					h = timeSince % 24;
					timeSince /= 24;
					d = timeSince;
				} else {
					h = timeSince;
				}
			} else {
				m = timeSince;
			}
		}
		
		timeSince = temp;
		
		days.text = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"%d",d];
		hours.text = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"%d",h];
		minutes.text = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"%d",m];

Why all the if/then? Wouldn't something like this work? assuming timeSince = total seconds

days = timeSince \ 86400
hours = (timeSince \ 3600) - (days * 24)
minutes = (timeSince \ 60) - (days * 1440) - (hours * 60)
seconds = timeSince Mod 60


I've also done it differently in .NET

Public Function formatSecs(ByVal sSeconds As Long) As String  'Converts seconds to 0:00
        Dim tSpan As TimeSpan = New TimeSpan(0, 0, sSeconds)
        Dim sDate As DateTime = New DateTime(tSpan.Ticks)
        Return Int(tSpan.TotalHours) & sDate.ToString(":mm:ss")
End Function

Maybe you could do something similar with NSTimeDateFormatString

It just seems like a lot of code to me.

You are correct. I just sort of tossed in some code I had in the twitter segment because it didn't require me to turn on my brain.

all the ifs are now

int d = timeSince / 86400;
		int h = timeSince / 3600 - d * 24;
		int m = timeSince / 60 - d * 1440 - h * 60;
		int s = timeSince % 60;

There's an xml feed of all the events, I'll PM it to you.

Today I put adhocKATG1.1.com on my iPod Touch 1st gen.

It starts normally


But after 2 seconds it goes all blank


I tried rebooting the iPod but it didn't change anything.

I can press the home button to get back to the menu so it isn't crashing or anything.

It is connected to a wireless network and that is working.

Is 1.1 the current version?
