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;
    }

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
