Finally Apple released an initial version of iPhone SDK Beta 2 which has Interface Builder. It’s really cool to create applications. I wanted to put together the first step of creating HelloWorld quickly on it.
- Open XCode
- Create a new Project as “Cocoa Touch Application”
- Provide the project name as “HelloWorld” on your selected folder and Click Save
- Open Interface Builder and Click “Cocoa Touch” tab on the top
- Select Window and Click “Choose”
- Design the UI something like the following:
- Save it as MainWindow under the same folder as HelloWorld
- When it prompts to include it for the build, Choose “HelloWorld” and click Add
- Quit the Interface Builder
- Go back to XCode and edit “HelloWorldAppDelegate.m”
- Replace the content of the method applicationDidFinishLaunching with the following snippet. Save it and Run it.
// Create window
self.window = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@”MainWindow” owner:self options:nil] objectAtIndex:0];
// Show window
[window makeKeyAndVisible];
Download the XCode Project: iPhone - HelloWorld.zip?

Thanks so much! I’ve been trying to figure out how to actually load my nib, since the documentation is currently non-existent (what do I expect, since the new beta was only just released). I’ll have to give this a try!

Thanks, but I am lost … I try to connect a button to the controller, like for a Mac OS X cocoa app, but doesn’t seem to work.
Any ideas ?
March 28th, 2008 at 4:01 pm
Awesome! Thanks for the info!

I am working on the other sample to handle tap or touch events through interface builder. No luck so far.
March 29th, 2008 at 12:53 pm
And what about the tabbar ? (toolbar)
March 29th, 2008 at 1:04 pm
Anyone know how to use the viewcontroller/navigationcontroller with interface builder.
March 29th, 2008 at 1:21 pm
how do you configure a button to launch an action with the interface builder? (eg. a button is touched->a label is changed)
I’m new to cocoa and it’s frustrating
March 29th, 2008 at 1:35 pm
You have an example in the site to do it for Cocoa on Mac OS X but not for iPhone yet.
March 29th, 2008 at 2:52 pm
Muthu,
I couldn’t find the sample. Could you point me to it?
thanks,
March 29th, 2008 at 5:24 pm
Thanks! This got me started. My only problem was I had to fix the formatting of the code snippet and replace the quotes around @”MainWindow” (it’s good in the .zip file)
March 29th, 2008 at 6:27 pm
Thanks for providing the basic instruction on how to connect IB to Xcode, especially the code snipped.
March 29th, 2008 at 8:29 pm
For Cocoa program to handle event, please look at the example here at: http://techblog.muthuka.com/index.php/2008/03/21/random-number-generator-in-cocoa-application/
March 29th, 2008 at 8:35 pm
Thank you! I was really struggling.
March 30th, 2008 at 3:41 pm
Saviour, while this is clearly basic stuff, without it you can’t climbing the ladder to build anything. For me XCode and Interface builder are alien technologies (done loads of C, C++, java etc) but it’s always painful getting started and your contribution has helped me a great deal. Thanks.
March 30th, 2008 at 4:19 pm
Great !. Thanks for the all the info.

Hey , are NSLog statements getting printed in the xcode console?. when i was using the first SDK beta version,it worked fine. Now i am not seeing any of my NSLog statements in the console (i have the second SDK beta version installed). This happens only for the iPhone application,when i use the same xcode to build a Mac OS application, NSLog statements are getting displayed in the console. there is no issue with th NSLog statement as such ( NSLog(@”test “); )
. any idea?

In Beta 2 SDK, that’s broken and you can see the log only in Console.app (i read this in apple developer discussions somewhere)
March 31st, 2008 at 4:53 pm
ohh ok…i was wondering w.r.t NSLog statements..thanks Muthu..
Has anyone tried of MVC type sample application so far?.. is it really possible with the current SDK version. any clues?….

i have a text-field (its an IBOutlet of UITextField) on the screen i which accepts some number,i need to take this value into a float variable in my code. any idea which is the class and method used for this purpose. if some one has found already, pls share it…
April 1st, 2008 at 5:57 pm
w.r.t to my earlier post (UITextField).
finally it worked with the following code.
float rate = [rateField.text floatValue];
rateField is a textfield on the screen which is an IBOutlet.

I have written a tutorial on how to make an iPhone app using interface builder with interaction. Have a look: http://zone12.co.uk/iCode/
April 2nd, 2008 at 12:21 pm
Awesome. That’s the link which i missed it while building interaction in my code. Thanks.

hi, can anyone pls guide me which class/method i need to use in the following.
i will have a home button on the navigation bar , pressing the button should lead me to the home page of the iPhone where all the applications will be listed. (Like the black button on the iPhone simulator / iPhone ,outside the screen).
April 11th, 2008 at 1:38 pm
use exit(0); in the method to take the app to iPhone home page.
