Long press on UITableView



I would like to handle a long press on a UITableViewCell to print a "quick access menu". Does someone already did this ?





Particularly the gesture recognize on UITableView ?

  1. First add the long press gesture recognizer to the table view:

    UILongPressGestureRecognizer *lpgr = [[UILongPressGestureRecognizer alloc]
    initWithTarget:self action:@selector(handleLongPress:)];
    lpgr.minimumPressDuration = 2.0; //seconds
    lpgr.delegate = self;
    [self.myTableView addGestureRecognizer:lpgr];
    [lpgr release];


    Then in the gesture handler:

    -(void)handleLongPress:(UILongPressGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer
    {
    CGPoint p = [gestureRecognizer locationInView:self.myTableView];

    NSIndexPath *indexPath = [self.myTableView indexPathForRowAtPoint:p];
    if (indexPath == nil)
    NSLog(@"long press on table view but not on a row");
    else
    NSLog(@"long press on table view at row %d", indexPath.row);
    }


    You have to be careful with this so that it doesn't interfere with the user's normal tapping of the cell and also note that handleLongPress may fire multiple times before user lifts their finger.

  2. Use the UITouch timestamp property in touchesBegan to launch a timer or stop it when touchesEnded got fired

  3. Looks to be more efficient to add the recognizer directly to the cell as shown here:

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.
