objective c - Correct way to display current date/time in iOS app and keep it up to date -

-

i'm wondering out of theory/performance side of things, if needed display current date/time in uilabel or something, , keep date (say, down minute), correct way so?

i've seen various examples online of "clock" apps have recursive method runs 1 second delay between invocations. option create repeatable timer , add run loop. there variety of other ways well. there 1 way better others?

the recursive method not great idea.

use nstimer approach. create repeating timer in viewdidappear , invalidate timer in viewdiddisappear (to avoid retain cycle, a.k.a. strong reference cycle). example, assuming have timer property:

@property (nonatomic, strong) nstimer *timer;

you schedule , invalidate timer follows:

- (void)viewdidappear:(bool)animated {     [super viewdidappear:animated];      self.timer = [nstimer scheduledtimerwithtimeinterval:1.0 target:self selector:@selector(handletimer:) userinfo:nil repeats:yes]; }  - (void)viewdiddisappear:(bool)animated {     [super viewwilldisappear:animated];      [self.timer invalidate];     self.timer = nil; }  - (void)handletimer:(nstimer *)timer {     // update label here }

if don't release and/or invalidate timer, maintain strong reference controller , can end strong reference cycle. , cannot resolve strong reference cycle in dealloc (because dealloc not called until controller has no more strong references; presence of repeating nstimer has not been invalidated prevent dealloc ever getting called), why in viewdiddisappear.

c# - must be a non-abstract type with a public parameterless constructor in redis -

-
when save object, got below error must non-abstract type public parameterless constructor in order use parameter 't' in generic type or method 'servicestack.redis.redisclient.store<t>(t) redisclass.getinstnace().store(msg); // error here redisclass.getinstnace().save(); as third party's class, can not edit how save object? could create wrapper around third party object call constructor, store wrapper? e.g. public class mywrapper { public thirdpartyobject thirdpartyinstance { get; set; } public mywrapper() { thirdpartyinstance = new thirdpartyobject("constructors"); } }

i've embedded microsoft.reporting.webforms.reportviewer control in aspx. site works on mysite.com. when try exmple export report, there new black window opened address mysite.com/reserved.reportviewerwebcontrol.axd... it's working fine. but.. pass axd via proxy. mean, i'd force export use url myproxy.mysite.com/reserved.reportviewerwebcontrol.axd... redirect request mysite.com/reserved.reportviewerwebcontrol.axd... i've noticed, link build within js (that inlcuded in axd): exportreport: function(format) { if (this.exporturlbase == null) return false; window.open(this.exporturlbase + encodeuricomponent(format), "_blank"); return true; }, the url axd stored in exporturlbase . how can change proxy serwer url? it possible modify exporturlbase field in javascript. report stored in placeholder somewhere on page, once found can create call _getinternalviewer() function on gain access exporturlbase. have @ following code: ...

time series - R growth rate calculation week over week on daily timeseries data -

-
i'm trying calculate w/w growth rates entirely in r. use excel, or preprocess ruby, that's not point. data.frame example date gpv type 1 2013-04-01 12900 office 2 2013-04-02 16232 office 3 2013-04-03 10035 office i want factored 'type' , need wrap date type column weeks. , calculate week on week growth. i think need ddply group week - custom function determines if date in given week or not? then, after that, use diff , find growth b/w weeks divided previous week. then i'll plot week/week growths, or use data.frame export it. this closed had same useful ideas. update: answer ggplot: all same below, use instead of plot ggplot(data.frame(week=seq(length(gr)), gr), aes(x=week,y=gr*100)) + geom_point() + geom_smooth(method='loess') + coord_cartesian(xlim = c(.95, 10.05)) + scale_x_discrete() + ggtitle('week on week growth rate, apr 1') + ylab('growth rate %') (old, correct answer using plot) w...
