How should I count the number of launches of an application in iPhone



  • I have completed my application.



  • Now when user launches my application 5 times











  • I want to display an alert message that "You have used more than 5 times better to go for next version".









  • How should we count the number of launches and where do we call this alert view?

  1. You can use method in your app delegate:

    - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions


    to check how many times it was launched. Then you can simply use standard user defaults to read/write the value:

    NSInteger i = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] integerForKey:@"numOfLCalls"];
    [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setInteger:i+1 forKey:@"numOfLCalls"];


    After that check if "i" is greater then 5 and send a message to view controller so it will put alert message after its view loads or simply call the user defaults again where you want to display the alert and check value.

  2. use NSUserDefaults in applicationDidBecomeActive:.

    NSUserDefaults * userDefaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
        NSInteger appLaunchAmounts = [userDefaults integerForKey:@"LaunchAmounts"];
        if (appLaunchAmounts == 5)
        {
           //Use AlertView


        }
        [userDefaults setInteger:appLaunchAmounts+1 forKey:@"LaunchAmounts"];

  3. You could count the number of launches using NSUserDefaults.

    Some more info: Saving an int to nsuserdefaults

    You would implement your functionality in application delegate. Most probably in - (void)applicationDidBecomeActive:(UIApplication *)application method.

    First you check if your launchesSoFar value is store. If not (if you get nil) you initialize it to 1 and don't forget to synchronize. If it exists already you increment it and again - sznchronize. If it's >=5 then do what you wan't to do.

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
