Is it possible to replicate what the code in here does in MonoTouch?
Here is what I've tried so far:
foreach(string countryCode in NSLocale.ISOCountryCodes){
// How to convert this objective-c code to c#?
// [[NSLocale currentLocale] displayNameForKey:NSLocaleCountryCode value:countryCode]
}
Sadly a quick look shows that displayNameForKey:value: to be (currently as of 4.2.x) missing from MonoTouch (and MonoMac) bindings. I'll look into implementing it and will update this entry once done.
UPDATE : Source code to work around the missing binding
public void DisplayCountryCodeNames ()
{
NSLocale current = NSLocale.CurrentLocale;
IntPtr handle = current.Handle;
IntPtr selDisplayNameForKeyValue = new Selector ("displayNameForKey:value:").Handle;
foreach (var countryCode in NSLocale.ISOCountryCodes) {
using (var key = new NSString ("kCFLocaleCountryCodeKey")) {
using (var nsvalue = new NSString (countryCode)) {
string ret = NSString.FromHandle (MonoTouch.ObjCRuntime.Messaging.IntPtr_objc_msgSend_IntPtr_IntPtr (handle, selDisplayNameForKeyValue, key.Handle, nsvalue.Handle));
Console.WriteLine ("{0} -> {1}", countryCode, ret);
}
}
}
}
Adapt to your liking and have fun with MonoTouch!
p.s. I'll update the bindings so it will be included in future releases for MonoTouch in a more proper API ;-)
Yes, it is certainly possible. MonoTouch wraps the iOS API in C# classes so that you can do anything in C# that you can do in Objective-C. Unfortunately you have to download the trial version to get the documentation. I imagine the code would look something like this:
foreach(string countryCode in NSLocale.ISOCountryCodes){
string CountryName = NSLocale.displayNameForKey(NSLocaleCountryCode, countryCode);
}
