“If its read-only, why not just hard code it in a constant?”

Sometimes it useful to show the setting (because it will be in the settings bundle) BUT the UI supplied by the settings app might not make it possible to change that setting – i.e. for which playlist to use for playing music.

Can I get the setting.app to input a proxy.pac file? I am creating an iPhone app for my college and we use certain proxy settings. I would really like to have those setting put in when you run the app. Just trying to figure out a way if it is at all possible…

@Nick
The title in PSGroupSecifier does span over multiple lines but it is does not have a white background, but is grayed out. I wanted a white background.

I wanted the answer to Raghu’s question as well:
I wanted to add a lega link similar to iphone’s about box:
settings->general settings->About->Legal
I want to display the entire page rather than a single line. I have not been able to do so.

In the iPhone settings I would want to set an area to display large text for copyright notice. Which control do I need to use? I tried using PSTextFieldSpecifier but the entire string seems to appear on a single line rather than taking the entire screen space.

Any help would be appreciated

Isn’t it a little easier to just do File –> New File –> iPhone OS Resource –> Settings Bundle?

This gives you a nice base of examples to work off of too if you are a beginner.

>> Gabe Said: how do u set the preference file to have an image (in settings.app)

If you mean the icon, just get a 29×29 image into your app bundle…

call it ‘Icon-Settings.png’ and you should be golden…

if you want to put a pic on the settings page tho I don’t think it can be done…

An easier way? Using Xcode 3.1.3, I do the following to create Settings.bundle:

File
New File
[iPhone OS / Resource]
Settings Bundle
Next
Finish

Settings.bundle is added to the project – it looks like a little white Lego block. A sample Root.plist is also built with a few controls, and a string localization file. I deleted the “Item(s)” I didn’t need, copied the ones I needed more of and edited from there (making sure to rename the keys).

@Donna: There is no Finder on the iPhone. And there is no way to change the background colors of the calender.
