Center UIPickerView Text


So I have a uipickerview with rows that only contain the number 0-24 and it looks a bit silly since the numbers are left aligned leaving a huge gap on the right of the pickerview.



Is there an easy way to center align text in a uipickerview?

  1. - (UIView *)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView viewForRow:(NSInteger)row forComponent:(NSInteger)component reusingView:(UIView *)view
    {
    UILabel *label = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 300, 37)];
    label.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"something here"];
    label.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentCenter;
    label.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
    [label autorelease];
    return label;
    }


    or something like this.

  2. You can implement this delegate method, which returns a CGFloat

    - (CGFloat)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView widthForComponent:(NSInteger)component

    This is called on the picker view to determine row width.

  3. No property of picker having set alignment capability.

    so you need to hard code for this.

    see this code

    - (NSInteger)numberOfComponentsInPickerView:(UIPickerView *)thePickerView {

    return 1;
    }


    - (NSInteger)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)thePickerView numberOfRowsInComponent:(NSInteger)component
    {
    return 25;

    }

    - (NSString *)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)thePickerView titleForRow:(NSInteger)row forComponent:(NSInteger)component {

    NSString *title=[NSString stringWithFormat:@" %i",row];//here you give extra spaces.
    return title;
    }

  4. Remember, the view in

    - (UIView *)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView viewForRow:(NSInteger)row forComponent:(NSInteger)component reusingView:(UIView *)view


    is actually a UITableViewCell, so you can work with it like:

    - (UIView *)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView viewForRow:(NSInteger)row forComponent:(NSInteger)component reusingView:(UIView *)view
    {
    static NSString *cellIdentifier = @"pickerViewCell";
    UITableViewCell *cell = (UITableViewCell*)view;

    if(cell==nil)
    {
    cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:cellIdentifier] autorelease];
    /** customize the cell **/
    }

    /** set the label **/
    cell.textLabel.text = [dataSource objectAtIndex:row];

    return cell;
    }

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.
