How to Create a Recipes App for the iPhone
Recipes project is a book of recipes. It’s interesting because it covers a large number of
classes and protocols of UIKit:










UITabBarController,
UIViewController,
UITableViewController,
UIView,
UIButton,
UITextField,
UILabel,
UIImageView,
UISegmentedControl,
UIPickerView and so on.
This sample demonstrates the various options of their using.
Screenshots of the app:
Figure 3
Figure 2
Figure 1
Main class is UITabBarController, which allows switching between
two UINavigationControllers.
The first one is responsible for view navigation between controllers:
 Preview
 Edit
 Create recipes.
The second UINavigationController (on the second tab) presents services of conversion (kg<>pounds and
1
Celsius <> Fahrenheit).
Create a new project based on Tab Bar Application template.
Incude CoreData.framework.
Create CoreData model: NewFile → CoreData → DataModel, name – Recipes.
Add following entities to it:
1. Recipe – with properties:





instructions : type String,
name : type String,
overview : type String,
prepTime : type String,
thumbnailImage : type Transformable;
2. RecipeType – with properties:
 name : type String;
3. Image – with properties:
 Image : type Transformable;
4. Ingredient – with properties:
 amount : type String,
 displayOrder : type int16,
 name : type String;

Add relationships as on fig. 4

MainWindow.xib
In the Objects bar (usually located at the left side) do this:
remove FirstViewController and SecondViewController,
add 2 NavigationControllers instead of them.
Figure 5
6
Select one Navigation controller Item. On the Attribute Inspector tab:
set name of NavigationController = “Recipes”.
Do the same for “Unit Converter”.
And now we need to create root ViewControllers: RecipeListTableViewController and
UnitConverterTableViewController.
Create RecipeListTableViewController that inherits class UITableViewController.
Add following properties to it:
NSFetchedResultsController *fetchedResultsController;
NSManagedObjectContext *managedObjectContext;
RecipeListTableViewController should be supported some protocols:
 RecipeAddDelegate
 NSFetchedResultsControllerDelegate.
In this case, using of protocol RecipeAddDelegate doesn’t have much importance, it’s only for
learning. But using of delegate protocols is a good practice in large apps. They improve the readability
of code.
NSFetchedResultsController and NSFetchedResultsControllerDelegate are
library class and protocol for connection UITableView with CoreData. Object
NSFetchedResultsController contains data from database, and class implemented protocol
NSFetchedResultsControllerDelegate receives events if data has been changed.
Let look at method “viewDidLoad”:
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = self.editButtonItem;
/*This is a native category UIViewController(UIViewControllerEditing) that provides next
functionality: button (UIBarButtonItem *)editButtonItem and associated with this button
method “setEditing:bool animated:bool”.
User press on the edit button to switch edit/normal mode. By default edit mode has style –
UITableViewCellEditingStyleDelete for deleting rows. When we’ll create class
RecipeDetailViewController we pay more attention to this issue. We assign functions of
edit button to left navigation bar button.*/
UIBarButtonItem *addButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]
initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemAdd target:self action:@selector(add:)];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = addButtonItem;
[addButtonItem release];
/*set new addButton (System style) as right navigation bar button with target action:
(void)add:(id)sender.
Pressing this button leads to pushing RecipeAddViewController, which allows edit name of
new recipe. */
In the method “tableView: cellForRowAtIndexPath:” at the row
recipeCell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator;
we add disclosure button to cell (like “>”).
7
Method “tableView:(UITableView *)tableView
commitEditingStyle:(UITableViewCellEditingStyle)editingStyle
forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath”
is called when cell of tableView is selected in edit mode. In this case, we have only delete
operation for removing cell and its data source row.
Method :
fetchedResultsController
return initialized object NSFetchedResultsController.

Let look at MainWindow.xib again.
In the Identity Inspector set class RecipeListTableViewController for UIViewController in the tree of
“Navigation Controller – Recipes” and set similarly class UnitConverterTableViewController for
UIViewController in the tree of “Navigation Controller - Unit Conversion”.
Figure 6
18
In the Objects bar click Recipes App Delegate and on the Connections Inspector tab link property
recipeListController to RecipeListTableViewController in the Objects bar.
Figure 7
Figure 8
Set name of Navigation Item in the tree of UnitConverterTableViewController = “Unit Conversion” in the
Attribute Inspector tab:
If we run app now we’ll see empty table of recipes on the first tab and Unit Conversation view with disabled
cells on the second tab.
Now we have a working skeleton application!

RecipeAddViewController.
It allows to set name of new recipe. It has a UITextField object.
Add properties:
Recipe *recipe;
UITextField *nameTextField;
id <RecipeAddDelegate> delegate;
Declare this class implements UITextFieldDelegate protocol and add method – “textFieldShouldReturn:” of
this protocol. In the method viewDidLoad we create two buttons with target actions.
In RecipeAddViewController.xib:
 Drag and drop a new TextField object to View;
 In the Attribute Inspector tab for the TextField object set property Placeholder = “Recipe Name”;
 Font size = 17;
 In the Connection Inspector tab for this TextField link delegate to File's Owner.

RecipeDetailViewController declares method “(IBAction)photoTapped”. IBAction means that method is
called by event, generated GUI objects declared as IBOutlet. Assign photoTapped to Touch Up Inside button
event handler of photoButton.
 click Button in the Objects bar, link event Touch Up Inside on the Connection Inspector tab to File's
Owner:
Figure 9

and click in popup photoTapped:
Look at implemention of method photoTapped. Depending on the edit mode is on/off we launch
RecipePhotoViewController or UIImagePickerController.
UIImagePickerController allows choose saved media file from Album and get access to it in our app.
32
Figure 10
Create UIImagePickerController object, set his delegate and show it as modal view
controller.
For UITextViews link thier delegate to File's Owner.
Look at implemetion of method viewDidLoad. It creates button self.editButtonItem like
RecipeListTableViewController. But in this case, we don’t need default style (EditingStyleDelete). We
override methods:
 (UITableViewCellEditingStyle)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView
editingStyleForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath,
 (void)setEditing:(BOOL)editing animated:(BOOL)animated
In the first method every cell gets own editing style.
The second method includes several operations:
 switch on/off editing mode;
 update states of navigation bar buttons;
 if it’s necessary insert/remove cells;
 refresh database.
We need to override method:
 (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView
commitEditingStyle:(UITableViewCellEditingStyle)editingStyle forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath
*)indexPath
that is called by touching + or - (insert, delete). Implement nessesary operations (insert, delete and so on).
After that we run groups of methods of protocol NSFetchedResultsControllerDelegate to refresh tableView.
Method
 (NSIndexPath *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView
willSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath*)indexPath;
is called after didSelect and can confirm, cancel, change user selection.
TypeSelectionViewController.
It allows user to select category of diches. It’s a checklist – TableView that can save checked states of cells
(we have only one cell).
For this TableView feature set property accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark:
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark.
To cancel check mode set accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryNone:
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryNone.

TemperatureConverterViewController.
This is a ViewController with TableView. There are 3 columns in the table.
Create class. Copy files. Pay attention to method “temperatureData”. Data for tableview is saved in a
“property list”. In “temperatureData” we get data from file and use it for array initialization.You can write
data to file manually or use Property List Editor (New File → Resource → Property List). This topic is
beyond the scope of this article.
Create and open TemperatureConverter.xib. Drag and drop 3 new UILabels on View, set text for every
UILabel. Drag and drop a new TableView above UILabels. Set class names, link IBOutlets.

Create WeightConverter.xib (User Interface → View) and open it. Drag and drop one new View (size
320x113) at the bottom and another View (size 320x216) above the first. The second view will includes two
pickers. Drag and drop new UIButton at the top part. Drag and drop a new UILabel onto UIButton and set it
the same size. Put on Segmented Control above UIButton. UISegmentedControl is horizontal multibutton
element. In this case, there are two buttons on it. They will switch between two pickers For SegmentControl
on the Attribute Inspector tab set property Segments = 2, set property Segment:

for Segment 0: title = Metric,

for Segment 1: title = Imperial.

Drag and drop 2 new Objects and 2 new Views to the Objects bar. Pay attention they must be on the same
lavel hierarchy with first View. Both new Views should be placed exactly over central subview (size
320x216). For Objects set classes: ImperialPickerController and MetricPickerController. For View set
names - Metric Container and
Imperial Container.
Figure 12
Into the tree of Metric Container drag and drop a new PickerView the same size and 2 new UILabels over it.
Set texts of UILabels = “kg” and “g”.
53
Figure 13
Do the same thing with Imperial Container. Set texts of UILabels = “lbs” and “oz”.
Set class File's Owner – WeightConverterViewController. On the Connections Inspector tab - link IBOutlets
to appropriate Objects – Views to View, ViewControllers to ViewControllers, segmentedControl to
segmentedControl, property UIView *pickerViewContainer to central View with size 320x216.

Figure 14
Figure 15
For MetricPickerController link pickerView to appropriate Picker, and label – to Label in the first View.

Do the same for ImperialPickerController.
For Picker in Metric Container set delegate and dataSource = MetricPickerController.
For Picker in Imperial Container set delegate and dataSource = ImperialPickerController.
For SegmentedControl link event “Value Changed” to handler = toggleUnit.
