How to disable autocorrect function in iPhone

If you have used the iPhone, you'll see the autocorrect/predict text function is very annoyned (for VNese text)

To disable this,

Edit the file /Applications/Preferences.app/Keyboard.plist and add following line

<dict>

<key>cell</key>

<string>PSSwitchCell</string>

<key>default</key>

<integer>0</integer>

<key>defaults</key>

<string>com.apple.Preferences</string>

<key>key</key>

<string>KeyboardAutocorrection</string>

<key>label</key>

<string>Enable Autocorrection</string>

</dict>

The Keyboard.plist is in binary format, you need to convert it into XML and then edit and then convert it back to binary format. Use the following URL for doing such conversion

- Online: http://iappcat.com/plist/bin2xml

- Offline (need to have PERL): http://scw.us/iPhone/plutil

After all, go to the Keyboard setting and turn off the Autocorrect function.

For iPhone 2.0, you basically rename whatever dictionary file you want to disable the autocorrect function for:

• start Mobile Terminal (or use SSH)
• become root using su (the password is alpine)
• cd /System/Library/TextInput/
• mv TextInput_en.bundle TextInput_en_bak.bundle (for English)
• The autocorrect feature for English should now be disabled

Have fun

Create a Dashboard in iPhone

You have seen the dashboard in iPhone UI or in Mac OS X UI. The following code snippet shows you how to create a dashboard in iPhone native application.

The code is Object C format

- (UIButtonBar *)createButtonBar

{

UIButtonBar *myButtonBar;

myButtonBar = [[UIButtonBar alloc]

initInView: self

withFrame: CGRectMake(10.0f, 380.0f, 300.0f, 100.0f)

withItemList: [self buttonBarItemList]];



[myButtonBar setDelegate: self];

// This set the style of the bar

[myButtonBar setBarStyle: 3];

// This set the tracking mode (effect when clicking on the button of the bar)

[myButtonBar setButtonBarTrackingMode: 1];



int buttons[3] = { 1, 2, 3 };

[myButtonBar registerButtonGroup: 0 withButtons: buttons withCount: 3];

[myButtonBar showButtonGroup: 0 withDuration: 0.0];



/* This set the layout of the button */

int tag;

for (tag = 1; tag < 4; tag++)

{

[[myButtonBar viewWithTag: tag]

setFrame: CGRectMake(10.0f + ((tag-1)*(80.0 + 10.0)), 1.0f, 100.0f, 80.0f)

];

}



return myButtonBar;

}

The item list of the button bar

- (NSArray *)buttonBarItemList

{

return [NSArray arrayWithObjects:

[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:

@"buttonBarClicked:", kUIButtonBarButtonAction,

@"button_back.png", kUIButtonBarButtonInfo,

@"button_back_pressed.png", kUIButtonBarButtonSelectedInfo,

[NSNumber numberWithInt: 1], kUIButtonBarButtonTag,

self, kUIButtonBarButtonTarget,

@"Page 1", kUIButtonBarButtonType,

@"0", kUIButtonBarButtonType,

nil

],

[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:

@"buttonBarClicked:", kUIButtonBarButtonAction,

@"button_open.png", kUIButtonBarButtonInfo,

@"button_open_pressed.png", kUIButtonBarButtonSelectedInfo,

[NSNumber numberWithInt: 2], kUIButtonBarButtonTag,

self, kUIButtonBarButtonTarget,

@"Page 2", kUIButtonBarButtonType,

@"0", kUIButtonBarButtonType,

nil

],

[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:

@"buttonBarClicked:", kUIButtonBarButtonAction,

@"button_next.png", kUIButtonBarButtonInfo,

@"button_next_pressed.png", kUIButtonBarButtonSelectedInfo,

[NSNumber numberWithInt: 3], kUIButtonBarButtonTag,

self, kUIButtonBarButtonTarget,

@"Page 3", kUIButtonBarButtonType,

@"0", kUIButtonBarButtonType,

nil

],

nil];

}

The click message, which will handle the click event of the button bar

- (void)buttonBarClicked: (id) sender

{

}

And you will got a nice UI like this

That's all, Have fun with iPhone & Object C coding
