Comment on Next TTC: Behind the scenes by Rune Madsen

Yes, all stops (16000 some thousand for Toronto) are stored locally and then looped through to find the closest stop. While it’s thousands of operations, it’s still fast.

Requesting vehicleLocations is a different thing, you still need to know what route you’re needing the data for.

Can you please explain this sentence:

“Once you have a user’s location, loop through all stops to find the nearest stop and request the data for that stop.”

I have noticed that the nextbus.com API does not have a query where you can send it your latitude and longitude and receive a nearest stop or route. So are you just downloading ALL the stops and maybe caching them and then when you get a location you’re doing trigonometry to find the nearest stop? This must be thousands of operations all involving square root calculations!

I like your Next TTC app and I submitted my own app using the nextbus API but it is not like yours–it uses the “vehicleLocations” command.

Comment on UITabBarController and UIActionSheet – 65% less hit point! by EeKay

Nik’s answer saved the day. I noticed the upsidedown issue and was looking for another way to display the actionsheet correctly.

[actionsheet showInView:self.tabBarController.view] did the tricky

actually:

myActionSheet.ShowInView(this.TabBarController.View);

since i’m using monotouch, but you get the point :)

thanks

Hi,
I am using UIAccessibilityLabels in my application.
Problem I am facing is, when I add another view controller by addSubView method, voiceover catches labels on parent view in child view.
Also, when I hide the labels on view yet the voiceover reads those label.
Can you suggest me solution on these two problems ?

Rune,

I was trying to download your CL presentation but it says I need a newer version of Keynote. Would you be able to send it to me – or your notes — in another format?

Dennis
