SDL2 ios How to get UIViewController pointer - c++

I'm making a mobile game with SDL2 which will be initially developed for IOS.
I have almost finnished the game development, and now, in order to integrate it with Firebase, I need a pointer to UIViewController.
After reading countless topics, I tried this:
SDL_SysWMinfo systemWindowInfo;
SDL_VERSION (& systemWindowInfo.version);
SDL_GetWindowWMInfo (sdlWindow, & systemWindowInfo))
UIWindow * appWindow = mainWindowWMInfo.info.uikit.window;
UIViewController * rootViewController = appWindow.rootViewController;
But the line "UIViewController * rootViewController = appWindow.rootViewController;" causes this error: "Incomplete definition of type '_UIWindow'"
All topics related to this sample code are at least four years old, and I'm trying hard, but I haven't found any topics talking recently about how to get UIViewController in an SDL2 / ios project.
So, my questions are:
Is the sample code above still working in the current versions of SDL2 or has something changed in the latest version and this sample code no longer works?
If the sample code still works, what can I do wrong to cause this “Incomplete definition of type '_UIWindow'” error?
If this sample code no longer works in SDL2, how can I get a UIViewController pointer in the current version of SDL2?
Any help is welcome because I have been stuck in this problem for days. I've been working on this game for ten months and solving this problem is the last task left to complete it , so I really need to solve this issue.

I solve this problem. Everything is OK in SDL, I was using a .cpp file in this code, but I needed to use .mm file here.
So, when I switched the file name from cpp to mm, the problem has solved.

What is causing this XCode 8/iOS 10 compiler warning?

I have updated my xcode 8 and running an old app which has been created in 7.3 by convering the swift codes in swift 3. But I am getting the message in log window as below:
objc[19295]: Class PLBuildVersion is implemented in both /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator.sdk/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AssetsLibraryServices.framework/AssetsLibraryServices (0x118365910) and /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator.sdk/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/PhotoLibraryServices.framework/PhotoLibraryServices (0x11818f210). One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined.
activity started
why its happening ?
You have a class PLBuildVersion declared in your framework AssetsLibraryServices as well as in PhotoLibraryServices. Because class names are unique Xcode tells you that it will take one of those class declarations, but that it'll keep it a surprise, which one that is. ;)
Luckily, you don't have to be concerned because both classes should be the same.

Google Play Services C++ / Run UI on second activity using IntentHandler

I am developing a mobile game using Cocos2D-x engine for android platform and i want to integrate GPGS on it.
I achieved to show leaderboards, but there is a little annoying problem. When leaderboard is visible, if i go background and then come back to app, the gamescene goes to black. I think opengl context being released and doesnt restore again. In my opinion running leaderboard on same activity causes this, the game engine cant understand whats happening there. Whatever, because of this I want to run leaderboard (and also all GPGS things) on a new activity using intent.
Google likes "Providing"
In the reference documents of Google Play Game Services C++ SDK, there is a few unclear/fuzzy explanation about using SetOptionalIntentHandlerForUI method.
"Provide a function that can start a provided UI intent at any point, using startActivityForResult."
What is the mean of "Providing"? What is a provided Intent? How will I use startActivityForResult method? Unfortunately, "using" and "providing methods" are not clear expressions for coding. There is no sample about
using this method in the documents of GPGS for C++. Eventually,
Google's document is so poor and
there is no useful information on the internet. If someone from Google helps me, I will be so happy.
As i understand, I wrote the code like this. But it gives error when starting.
AppActivity.java
public void runGPGSActivity(Intent i) {
startActivityForResult(i,100);
}
AndroidPlatformConfiguration.h (From C++ gpg lib)
typedef std::function<void(jobject)> IntentHandler;
AndroidPlatformConfiguration &SetOptionalIntentHandlerForUI(
IntentHandler intent_handler);
main.cpp (JNI binding, the working code, GPGS runs on same activity )
gpg::AndroidPlatformConfiguration platform_configuration;
platform_configuration.SetActivity(activity);
StateManager::InitServices( ...
main.cpp (JNI binding, GPGS must be run on new activity )
gpg::AndroidPlatformConfiguration platform_configuration;
jclass activityClass = env->FindClass("org/cocos2dx/cpp/AppActivity");
jmethodID jIntentHandlerMethodID = env->GetMethodID(activityClass,"runGPGSActivity","(Landorid/content/Intent;)V");
jobject jIntentHandler = env->NewObject(activityClass, jIntentHandlerMethodID);
gpg::AndroidPlatformConfiguration::IntentHandler mIntentHandler; /*= [](jobject mjIntentHandler){};*/
std::function<void(jobject)> intentHandler = std::bind(mIntentHandler,jIntentHandler);
platform_configuration.SetOptionalIntentHandlerForUI(intentHandler);
platform_configuration.SetActivity(activity);
StateManager::InitServices(
There is no build error, but the application crashes when launching.

And some links about this issue:
IntentHandler reference
StartActivityForResult reference
/// Thank you in advance. ///
...Yeah I solved the problem, but didn't use IntentHandler method.
I was using this code in my app, to show weekly leaderboard data.
gameServices->Leaderboards().ShowUIBlocking(leaderboardId,gpg::LeaderboardTimeSpan::WEEKLY);
But return value is not void, it is UIStatus (whatever it is)
I've reverted back to this code, app is not going to black screen now. This method returns void, I think I have to catch some callbacks when using ShowUIBlocking method, with that UIStatus thing.
gameServices->Leaderboards().ShowUI(leaderboardId);
But now, I can't benefit from timespan feature of leaderboards.
I am going to research how it can be used. There is no problem for now. But, documentation of SetOptionalIntentHandlerForUI must be written more explicit, for programmers who want to use it.

Using particles in cocos2d android

I'm working on a game for android using Cocos2D-android and when I'm trying to use the CCQuadParticleSystem class, the CTOR just returns null. I spent hours searching for an example or a tutorial on this and all I found was other people asking about the same exact thing. It just returns null. I have my .plist file in my assets folder - the same file which is working just great with Cocos2D-X and IOS. According to the good people at github.com it should work so I must be doing something wrong but like I said... it just returns null when I call the CTOR with or without casting:
CCQuadParticleSystem p1 = (CCQuadParticleSystem) CCQuadParticleSystem.particleWithFile("fire.plist");
CCParticleSystem p2 = CCQuadParticleSystem.particleWithFile("fire.plist");
Please, anyone ???
if It's of use, this is the .plist file I'm working with
Have a look on this example :
link for plist
you'll get the way how to handle plist file .

Getting an incorrect permissions screen in the webview Blackberry 10 Cascades Beta 3 SDK in Dev Alpha Simulator

I am trying to make dynamically generated html 5 graphs show up in a webview in Blackberry 10 Cascades. I have confirmed the html5 that I have generated, draws the correct graphs. My problem is that when I try to implement this in the Blackberry 10 Cascades Beta 3 SDK (using the Blackberry 10 Dev Alpha Simulator), the webview that is supposed to show the graph, just looks like this:
Here is the code that leads to this error:
//html_ already contains the html-5 code to make the graph at this point in the code
//This is the file path to a local file that is actually accessable in the emulator
//and not just from Windows
//
QFile *chartFile = new QFile("app/native/assets/data/chart.html");
if (chartFile->open(QIODevice::WriteOnly)) {
chartFile->write(html_.toUtf8());
chartFile->flush();
chartFile->close();
}
if (chartFile) delete chartFile;
if (graphView_) {
graphView_->setHtml("");
graphView_->setUrl(QUrl::fromLocalFile("app/native/assets/data/chart.html"));
}
I checked the permissions of that file, put they are all Allow (777 permissions for those who know Unix style permissions).
I added access_internet to the bar-descriptor.xml, eventhough my app was already able to access remote sites, just to see if that would fix it, but it did not.
I've been searching around trying to find a solution to this problem, but I have not.
If anyone could help me out with this, it would be greatly appreciated.
-------------------------------------------------------
Update:
I changed the code to set the html directly, now I have this:
if (graphView_) {
graphView_->setHtml(html_, QUrl("app/native/assets/data/chart.html"));
}
But nothing shows. It seems I have the wrong relative path relative to my base url.
My base url is this: QUrl("app/native/assets/data/chart.html")
My relative paths all begin with: ./Highcharts/js/...
My relative paths are located under: app/native/assets/data/Highcharts/js
It seems to me that I this should work, but when I do this, I just a blank screen, as if it can not find my relative paths. So I don't know what's going on here either.
I found a solution that works. I'm using the first approach, not the updated approach, but instead of
graphView_->setUrl(QUrl("app/native/assets/data/chart.html"));
I'm using:
graphView_->setUrl(QUrl("local:///assets/data/chart.html"));
And I have left the rest of the code the same, and it works.

Problem debugging C++ with an Eclipse based IDE

This is a weird question in that I'm not sure where to start looking.
First of all, I haven't done any C++ programming for the last 10 years so it could be me thats forgotten a few things. Secondly, the IDE I'm using is Eclipse based (which I've never used) and customized for Samsung bada based mobile development (it kicks off an emulator for debugging purposes)
I'm posting my code samples as images because the StackOverflow WYSIWYG editor seems to have a problem parsing C++.
[EDIT] Due to complaints I've edited my question to remove the images. Hope that helps :)
I have the following header file...
#include <FApp.h>
#include <FBase.h>
#include <FGraphics.h>
#include <FSystem.h>
#include <FMedia.h>
using namespace Osp::Media;
using namespace Osp::Graphics;
class NineAcross :
public Osp::App::Application,
public Osp::System::IScreenEventListener
{
public:
static Osp::App::Application* CreateInstance(void);
public:
NineAcross();
~NineAcross();
public:
bool OnAppInitializing(Osp::App::AppRegistry& appRegistry);
private:
Image *_problematicDecoder;
};
...and the following cpp file...
#include "NineAcross.h"
using namespace Osp::App;
using namespace Osp::Base;
using namespace Osp::System;
using namespace Osp::Graphics;
using namespace Osp::Media;
NineAcross::NineAcross()
{
}
NineAcross::~NineAcross()
{
}
Application* NineAcross::CreateInstance(void)
{
// Create the instance through the constructor.
return new NineAcross();
}
bool NineAcross::OnAppInitializing(AppRegistry& appRegistry)
{
Image *workingDecoder;
workingDecoder->Construct();
_problematicDecoder->Construct();
return true;
}
Now, in my cpp file, if I comment out the line that reads _problematicDecoder->Construct();...I'm able to set a breakpoint and happily step over the call to Constuct() on workingDecoder. However, as soon as I uncomment the line that reads _problematicDecoder->Construct();... I end up with the IDE telling me...
"No source available for "Osp::Media::Image::Construct()"
In other words, why can I NOT debug this code when I reference Image *image from a header file?
Any ideas?
Thanks :-)
This usually means you're stepping through some code which you do not posses its source.
I assume here that Osp::Media::Image is a class supplied by Samsung or similar for which you do not have the cpp file. So this means the debugger can't show you the current code line while you're at a function of Osp::Media::Image.
Alternatively, there's a good chance you do have all of the source code for this class, but Eclipse doesn't know where it is. In this case you can add the correct directories under the Debug Configurations window.
Ok, problem solved.
The idea is to first new up an instance of Image like so...
_decoder = new Osp::Media::Image();
And then do _decoder->Construct().
Funny enough, this seems blatantly obvious to me now coming from the C# world, though why the code I posted for workingDecoder works is still somewhat mysterious to me. The fact the sample projects pre-loaded with the bada IDE don't seem to make a call to new() leads me to believe that perhaps those samples are outdated our out of synch.
Either that or I really AM wildly out of the C++ loop.
Anyway thanks so much for the effort guys.
Appreciated :)
