    <p>Just getting started on iPhone dev today and have run through Apple's HelloWorld tutorial:</p> <p><a href="http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/iPhone/Conceptual/iPhone101/Articles/02_CreatingProject.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40007514-CH3-SW3" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/iPhone/Conceptual/iPhone101/Articles/02_CreatingProject.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40007514-CH3-SW3</a></p> <p>Couple of easy questions for you folks (sorry so long-winded but I'm hunting around in the dark here):</p> <p><strong>1)</strong> So I made MyViewController the delegate for the text field, in order to receive a message when the return key is pressed (<code>textFieldShouldReturn</code>). This seems inelegant because the method has to check which control sent the message. But to handle the touch event on the button the technique is different -- a custom message (changeGreeting) gets sent which could be associated with one or several buttons in Interface Builder, and I could create different messages for different buttons. </p> <p>That seems much better and avoids the need to test in code which control sent the event. Why these two different approaches in the sample, is it just to demonstrate the two? Would it be possible to rewrite the sample only using the latter approach, or is there something fundamentally different between the text field's textFieldShouldReturn and the button's 'Touch Up' that mandates making the view controller a delegate for the text field?</p> <p><strong>2)</strong> When I position the text field near the top of the view, if it's a certain vertical displacement away from the grey status bar with the battery status symbol then it locks into place and you can see the vertical blue dashed line indicating the lock. In this mode, when I run the app the text field is too high, hard up against the status bar. I can resolve this by moving the text field very slightly so that the vertical dashed blue line no longer appears. Then the positioning seems relative to whatever's above the text field, as I can select a larger Top Bar in the Simulated UI Elements and it moves down nicely.</p> <p>I'd expect to see some explicit property in the Attributes Inspector that says whether the layout is relative or absolute, but I can't find anything that changes between the two scenarios. Surely this is made more explicit somewhere in the Interface Builder UI?</p> <p>Hope these Q's represent some easy points for someone...</p>

    3. CO+1 and starred, I've had the second problem even with SDK 3.1.3 *and* SDK 4 and for the life of me I can't figure out why either. (Nor was I able to find out yet since I'm still starting out.)

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
