The testing from zanjereb

Include images where possible

Get the image URLs from the server for user and for the casts
Create a system to download an image from the URL (create a new file/class)
- To get the data from the url you may use NSData which have a static method called dataWithURL
- To get the image from data you can call the initializer for UIImage called initWithData
Assign the images to cells and to the profile image view

Also look at #17

Modify first screen

Remove the button to navigate to my casts
Add the same background images as on the my cast screen (the full screen image and the black overlay)

To upload the video to the backend there are quite a few things to do. First the recorded video you create is .mov and we need the .mp4. There is a converter you may use that will convert the video for you. After the video is converted you will need to send it to Amazon server (AWS) under specific parameters. After the video is uploaded you need to send a new cast to our server with all the data including the video path on the AWS server. We will hardcode most of the data for now.

Resample the video:

Use DLBSegmentedVideoConverter class to convert the video
- Once the video is done recording you need to create a new instance of converter and assign it as a property so it is not released to soon
- Set inputURLs on converter which is an array of videos you want to convert. You will need to construct an array with a single object which is the URL you get from the image picker controller
- Set the output URL of the converted video. Find how to get the temporary directory on iOS and append path like "video.mp4" to it so it will be saved to that location.
- Set the delegate to get the notification when the converting is done
- convert the video by calling resampleVideo

Upload the video to AWS:

To get all the channel IDs you best just get them once the user is downloaded and add the channels to it. You will need to cal the endpoint with my channels (same as other calls) and extract all channel ids into a single array and assign it to the user.

Basic project setup

Rearrange the folder structure by having system such as sources/entryPoint, sources/userInterface

Move ViewController and ApplicaitonDelegate files to sources/entryPoint
Remove those files form xcode (select them and press backspace)
Add folders to xcode by dragging them into project navigator

Integrate the new screen

You will need to assign the new view controller class and bind everything together.

In my casts folder create a new class using Cocoa touch class. Use an UIViewController as subclass, name it such as MyCastsViewController
In my casts storyboard select the view controller and find where to assign a new class as to MyCastsViewController. You may check how the ViewController is added to Main storyboard
Add exit button action to the MyCastsViewController which will exit by calling [self dismissViewController..]
Add my casts button action to main view controller to present the new view controller. You need to instanciate the My casts view controller by calling [[UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"theName" whatever:nil] isntanciateViewControllerWithWhatever:@"theIdentifierSetInStoryboard"] and then call [self presentViewController:controller ...]

Integrate designs for my cast screen - User data

Create the top view displaying user data. This should be one large view containing other subviews.

Create the view beneath the header with a constant height
Add a gray-white view with the user data
Add the image view showing the user profile
- For now just set some background color on the image view
- Enable "clip subviews" for the image view
- In the code of view controller override - (void)viewWillLayoutSubviews and on the profile image view set the corner radius so it is round as .layer.cornerRadius = .frame.size.width*.5f
Add the name label
Add the location label and icon
Add the rest of the labels

Record a new cast

On add cast view controller add a functionality to record a video. Research what is needed to record a video (you will need a real device for this to work). Add some button "New video" to initializing the recording. The video will probably be recorded to some local file whose path you will receive when the video is done recording. When the video is recorded add another button "Preview" which will open a video player controller with the video you just recorded. To get the URL from the file path you need to use [NSURL urlWithFilePath... or something similar.

Add age of the cast to the cell in my casts

Show the text such as "5days 3h 4min"

The days should not be shown for 0 days, same for hours and minutes.

Hint: An NSDate has a method timeIntervalSince which returns a duration in seconds.

Create a new storyboard for MyCasts screen

Under UserInterface folder create another folder for MyCasts. Inside create a new file in Xcode by using storyboard. In the storyboard create a new UIViewController. On the controller create a cancel button which will navigate back to main screen.

Create new storyboard by right clicking on the target folder in Xcode and selecting new file. Under user interface find Storyboard and select it then enter some nice name indicating it is about "my casts".
Add a view controller to the storyboard by finding it in bottom right of the screen and dragging it to the main window.
check where to set a storyboard identifier for the view controller and enter some name for it such as "myCasts".
Add a button to the view controller view which will exit this screen

Design main screen to have a button which will navigate to the MyCastsScreen

On main storyboard on main controller add a button. Place it on center or whatever as long as some constraints are added. Drag the button action to view controller source code.

Modify the storyboard to include the button. Set a nice name for the user that you will display user casts.
From the storyboard ctrl+drag from the button to the source file. Both screens must be open to do so.
Drag from button to under @implementation code to generate the method, then set a name for the method.

Make image downloading asynchronous

The NSData procedure will block the thread until the download is complete.
Move this to a new thread and use blocks.

You may use dispatch_async. Should look something like this:

NSURL *imageUrl = [NSURL URLWithString:myURL];

dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, 0), ^{

    thumbnailData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:imageUrl];

    dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
        thumbnail = [UIImage imageWithData:thumbnailData];
        callback(thumbnail)
    });
});

Start building my cast screen

create a header with exit button
create a table view beneath the header
Assign data source and delegate to the table view
Add a system to present some testing data in the table view

Add navigation controller to casts screen

In storyboard add a navigation controller. This will create 2 controllers but delete the one that is not a navigation controller
Connect the casts view controller as a root view controller. Ctrl+drag from navigation controller to casts controller and select root controller
Set the identifier to the navigation controller so you may call it from code
On main controller call to present the navigation controller (change the identifier to the one you set in storyboard)
Remove the navigation bar on the casts view controller (search for "hide navigationbar")

Integrate designs for my cast screen - background

Add a background to the screen by adding 2 views. An image view and an overlay.

Export the background image you see in photoshop
Add a fullscreen image view to the view controller (make sure it is on the top so it is in background)
Add another view over the image view with a black, semitransparent background color as is by designs

Integrate designs for my cast screen - header

There should be a transparent head on the top showing a title and 2 button icons.

Play the video that is bound to cast

Also get the mp4 link on the cast from the server. When the cell is pressed you should get the link and use MPMoviePlayerViewController to play the video. The controller must be presented.

Find the mp4 link and add it to cast object
Find a way to be notified when the cell is pressed (should be in a table view delegate)
Find a way to present the movie player controller and to make it play the video

Add the create cast view controller

In casts storyboard add a new view controller which will be "Add cast".
Set some identifier
On cast controller header change the right button to show "Add" instead of the icon currently showing
On Add button push the new "add cast" view controller by calling [self.navigationController push...] method.
Ensure the new controller has a navigation bar with a back button

Remove the navigation controller from the main storyboard

Just delete that navigation controller, it is not used

New navigation

We want to add a bit more screen navigation to the application. You will keep the main screen for loading and then present the current my cast screen non animated. The button from the first screen will be removed and only the background will be used the same as from my cast screen. The second screen will be a navigation controller with the ability to add a new cast.

Modify the main screen to show background #10
Modify the casts screen to have navigation controller #11
Create navigation to the Add cast controller #12
