Set date of a Date Picker in Objective C

In objective C, UIDatePicker is the best way to display date and time options. We can set date of our choice in a Date picker. Also we can set minimum and maximum date.

Here I am creating UIDatePicker first.

1.       UIDatePicker *pickerDate=[[UIDatePicker alloc]initWithFrame:pickerFrame];
2.       pickerDate.datePickerMode=UIDatePickerModeDateAndTime;

We can set limits also. Here is the code:-

1. //Here I am setting 1 Hour interval to the current date.
2.       NSDate *date = [NSDate dateWithTimeInterval:3600.0 sinceDate:[NSDate date]];
3.       [pickerDate setMaximumDate:date];
4.       [pickerDate setMinimumDate:pickerDate.date];

Here is the code to add time in seconds to set the interval.

JDBC/ODBC alternative in Java 8

The JDBC/ODBC driver is the type 1 driver it is also known as JDBC-ODBC bridge. It is ODBC driver to connect the database that convert the JDBC calls to ODBC function calls. Type 1 driver is fully platform dependent and use the native libraries of operating system. The ODBC driver must be installed in operating system. The Sun Microsystem provide JDBC-ODBC driver name as sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver but Oracle's JDBC-ODBC Bridge was removed in Java 8 for following reasons:-

Disadvantages

1. Performance issue the calls have to go through the JDBC bridge to the ODBC driver so it is slower than other types of drivers.
2. The ODBC driver must be installed on the client machine.

We require to call the send_mail function in these button actions to send mail. OpenERP enables to send mail utilizing “Automated Actions” but we cannot configure it when a button action is done for example when a report is printed from a button action. This requires conversion in code.

We have developed a module in such a way that the utilizer will be able to configure to which button action mail is to be send. Utilizer requires some technical erudition about OpenERP like button denomination, button type etc. Module integrates an incipient menu in location “Settings -> Button Mail Configuration > Button Mail Configuration” where utilizer will be able to configure the button actions.

Understanding $emit, $broadcast and $on in AngularJS

Sometimes we need to send data from one controller to another. There are services provided by AngularJS for communication(event-based) between the controllers. $on, $emit, $broadcast are the services for the communication between the controllers.

$on :- $on is used to catch the event dispatched by $broadcast and $emit. Basically it’s a method of scope and listens on events of a given type.

$broadcast : - $broadcast is the service that dispatches an event downwards to the child scopes. The life cycle of the event starts at the scope where the $broadcast is called. For example :-

1. app.controller(“Eg1ctrl”, function ($scope) {
2. $scope.$broadcast('eventName', { Tips: tip });
3. });

Here is not the end…
