@Property Attributes

AttributeDescription
getter=Use a custom name for the getter method.
setter=Use a custom name for the setter method.
readonlyDon’t synthesize a setter method.
nonatomicDon’t guarantee the integrity of accessors in a multi-threaded environment. This is more efficient than the default atomic behavior.
strongCreate an owning relationship between the property and the assigned value. This is the default for object properties.
weakCreate a non-owning relationship between the property and the assigned value. Use this to prevent retain cycles.
copyCreate a copy of the assigned value instead of referencing the existing instance.

NULL and nil

  • The null pointer is a special kind of pointer that doesn’t point to anything.
  • Pointer can be “emptied” using the null pointer.
  • A good rule of thumb is to use nil for variables that hold Objective-C objects and NULL when working with C pointers.
NSString *anObject;    // An Objective-C object
anObject = NULL;       // This will work
anObject = nil;        // But this is preferred
int *aPointer;         // A plain old C pointer
aPointer = nil;        // Don't do this
aPointer = NULL;       // Do this instead

Find Longitude and Latitude From Address String


 CLGeocoder *geocoder = [[CLGeocoder alloc] init];
    NSString *addressString =@"Apple Inc";
    [geocoder
     geocodeAddressString:addressString
     completionHandler:^(NSArray *placemarks,
                         NSError *error) {
         if (error) {
             NSLog(@"Geocode failed with error: %@", error);
             return;
         }
         if (placemarks && placemarks.count > 0)
         {
             CLPlacemark *placemark = placemarks[0];

             CLLocation *location = placemark.location;
             NSLog(@"latitude = %f longitude = %f",location.coordinate.latitude , location.coordinate.longitude);
         }
     }];

Location Details From latitude and longitude

CLLocation *location=[[CLLocation alloc] initWithLatitude:48.8582 longitude:2.2945];
    CLGeocoder *geocoder = [[CLGeocoder alloc] init];
    [geocoder reverseGeocodeLocation:location completionHandler:^(NSArray *placemarks, NSError *error) {
        if(placemarks.count){
            NSDictionary *addressDictionary = [[placemarks objectAtIndex:0] addressDictionary];
            NSLog(@"Address%@",addressDictionary);
        }
    }];

Setting Region and Annotation in Map View for a coordinate

//Create a coordianate
    CLLocationCoordinate2D coordinate= CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(37.785834,-122.406417);
    //Set region for with the coordiante
    MKCoordinateRegion region =MKCoordinateRegionMakeWithDistance(coordinate, 800, 800);
    [self.mapView setRegion:[self.mapView regionThatFits:region] animated:YES];
    //add point annotaion to map view
    MKPointAnnotation *point=[[MKPointAnnotation alloc] init];
    point.coordinate=coordinate;
    point.title=@"hai I am here!!";
    point.subtitle=@"hey how are you?";
    [self.mapView addAnnotation:point];
