## recursiveDescription | |
I don't think it necessary to introduce this method again. It prints the hierarchy of an UIView object. Here's how we use it in Cycript: | |
```objc | |
cy# [[UIApp keyWindow] recursiveDescription].toString() | |
`<iConsoleWindow: 0x156b6410; baseClass = UIWindow; frame = (0 0; 320 480); autoresize = W+H; gestureRecognizers = <NSArray: 0x156b6bc0>; layer = <UIWindowLayer: 0x156b6720>> | |
| <UILayoutContainerView: 0x16258d80; frame = (0 0; 320 480); autoresize = W+H; layer = <CALayer: 0x16258e00>> | |
| | <UITransitionView: 0x16259610; frame = (0 0; 320 480); clipsToBounds = YES; autoresize = W+H; layer = <CALayer: 0x16259760>> | |
| | | <UIViewControllerWrapperView: 0x16243bb0; frame = (0 0; 320 480); autoresize = W+H; layer = <CALayer: 0x1625a670>> | |
| | | | <UILayoutContainerView: 0x1601dd70; frame = (0 0; 320 480); autoresize = W+H; gestureRecognizers = <NSArray: 0x16001650>; layer = <CALayer: 0x16073fe0>> | |
| | | | | <UINavigationTransitionView: 0x16004cc0; frame = (0 0; 320 480); clipsToBounds = YES; autoresize = W+H; layer = <CALayer: 0x16004e10>> | |
| | | | | | <UIViewControllerWrapperView: 0x1629d9a0; frame = (0 0; 320 480); layer = <CALayer: 0x1629da10>> | |
... | |
| | | <MMBadgeView: 0x160055a0; baseClass = UIImageView; frame = (203 1; 20 20); opaque = NO; userInteractionEnabled = NO; layer = <CALayer: 0x16005640>> | |
| | | | <MMUILabel: 0x16004ec0; baseClass = UILabel; frame = (0 0; 0 0); hidden = YES; userInteractionEnabled = NO; tag = 10032; layer = <CALayer: 0x16004f70>> | |
| | | <MMBadgeView: 0x16259810; baseClass = UIImageView; frame = (283 -4; 30 30); hidden = YES; opaque = NO; userInteractionEnabled = NO; layer = <CALayer: 0x162598b0>> | |
| | | | <MMUILabel: 0x1625a180; baseClass = UILabel; frame = (0 0; 0 0); userInteractionEnabled = NO; tag = 10032; layer = <CALayer: 0x1625a230>>` | |
``` | |
## _printHierarchy | |
Skip UIViews and nextResponders to get ViewControllers directly. Refer to this post87 for details. | |
In short, it's: | |
`[[[UIWindow keyWindow] rootViewController] _printHierarchy].toString()` | |
## _autolayoutTrace | |
Simplified recursiveDescription, cuts off lots of descriptions of UIViews. Here's how we use it in Cycript: | |
```objc | |
cy# [[UIApp keyWindow] _autolayoutTrace].toString() | |
*<iConsoleWindow:0x156b6410> | |
| *<UILayoutContainerView:0x16258d80> | |
| | *<UITransitionView:0x16259610> | |
| | | *<UIViewControllerWrapperView:0x16243bb0> | |
| | | | *<UILayoutContainerView:0x1601dd70> | |
| | | | | *<UINavigationTransitionView:0x16004cc0> | |
| | | | | | *<UIViewControllerWrapperView:0x1629d9a0> | |
... | |
| | | | <MMUILabel:0x1624b250> | |
| | | <MMBadgeView:0x160055a0> | |
| | | | <MMUILabel:0x16004ec0> | |
| | | <MMBadgeView:0x16259810> | |
| | | | <MMUILabel:0x1625a180>` | |
``` | |
## _ivarDescription | |
Prints all names and values of instance variables of a specified object. Here's how we use it in Cycript: | |
```objc | |
cy# [choose(SBApplication)[0] _ivarDescription].toString() | |
`<SBApplication: 0x1766cab0>: | |
in SBApplication: | |
\t_bundleIdentifier (NSString*): @"com.apple.social.remoteui.SocialUIService" | |
\t_displayIdentifier (NSString*): @"com.apple.social.remoteui.SocialUIService" | |
\t_path (NSString*): @"/Applications/SocialUIService.app" | |
\t_bundleVersion (NSString*): @"87" | |
\t_defaultImageNamesByScreenType (NSMutableDictionary*): <__NSDictionaryM: 0x17672a90> | |
\t_defaultImageNamesForOrientation (NSDictionary*): nil | |
... | |
in NSObject: | |
\tisa (Class): SBApplication` | |
``` | |
## _methodDescription | |
Prints all properties, instance methods and class methods of a specified object. Here's how we use it in Cycript: | |
```objc | |
cy# [choose(SBApplicationController)[0] _methodDescription].toString() | |
`<SBApplicationController: 0x17642990>: | |
in SBApplicationController: | |
\tClass Methods: | |
\t\t+ (void) setClearSystemAppSnapshotsWhenLoaded:(BOOL)arg1; (0x1b2ad1) | |
... | |
\t\t+ (id) sharedInstanceIfExists; (0x1b2b6d) | |
\tInstance Methods: | |
\t\t- (id) setupApplication; (0x1b3e3d) | |
... | |
\t\t- (id) applicationWithDisplayIdentifier:(id)arg1; (0x1b3d0d) | |
in NSObject: | |
\tClass Methods: | |
\t\t+ (bool) cy\$hasImplicitProperties; (0xdb45d80) | |
... | |
\t\t+ (void) finalize; (0x39a49ad1) | |
\tProperties: | |
\t\t@property (nonatomic) BOOL isAccessibilityElement; (@dynamic isAccessibilityElement;) | |
... | |
\t\t@property (nonatomic) BOOL shouldGroupAccessibilityChildren; (@dynamic shouldGroupAccessibilityChildren;) | |
\tInstance Methods: | |
\t\t- (id) cy\$toCYON:(bool)arg1 inSet:(set<void *, std::less<void *>, std::allocator<void *> >*)arg2; (0xdb45b60) | |
... | |
\t\t- (void) finalize; (0x39a49ad5)` | |
``` | |
