terminate called after throwing an instance of 'NSException'

the method @deepak and @ Grady Player are talking about is this:

-(void)getGraphicalData{
    NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
    //[NSThread sleepForTimeInterval:1];

    self.friendBL = [[FriendBL alloc] init];
    self.result = [self.friendBL  getGraphicalData1:txtStartTime.text andTodate:txtEndTime.text];
    if ([self.result isKindOfClass:[NSString class]]) {
        UIAlertView * friendListAlertView = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Friend List" message:(NSString*) self.result delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"Ok" otherButtonTitles:nil];
        [friendListAlertView show];
        [friendListAlertView release];
    }
    else {
        self.reportList = (NSMutableArray*) self.result;
        NSLog(@"%d",[reportList count]);
    }
    [pool release];
}

after selecting date i click on button to say done and this is the code

-(IBAction)doneBtn{

    [dateView setHidden:YES];
    NSLog(@"%@",[dateTimePicker date]);
    NSLocale *locale = [[[NSLocale alloc] initWithLocaleIdentifier:@"en_US"] autorelease];

    NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc]init];
    [dateFormatter setDateStyle:NSDateFormatterBehaviorDefault];

    NSDateFormatter *dateFormat = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
    [dateFormat setDateFormat:@"MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss"];
    dateFormat.locale = locale;
    if (tag) {
        txtEndTime.text=[dateFormat stringFromDate:[dateTimePicker date]];
        if (![self compareDates]) {
            txtStartTime.text=@"";
            txtEndTime.text=@"";
            UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Warning!" message:@"Date is not in valid" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"ok" otherButtonTitles:nil];
            [alert show];
            [alert release];
        }

    }
    else {
        txtStartTime.text=[dateFormat stringFromDate:[dateTimePicker date]];
    }
    NSLog(@"%@",[dateFormat stringFromDate:[dateTimePicker date]]);



}

but if i pick a the date slowly it do not crashes

Since you are not calling the method by thread you don’t have to use an autorelease pool. Can you try this following code.

-(void)getGraphicalData{
    self.friendBL = [[[FriendBL alloc] init] autorelease];
    self.result = [self.friendBL  getGraphicalData1:txtStartTime.text andTodate:txtEndTime.text];
    if ([self.result isKindOfClass:[NSString class]]) {
        UIAlertView * friendListAlertView = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Friend List" message:(NSString*) self.result delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"Ok" otherButtonTitles:nil];
        [friendListAlertView show];
        [friendListAlertView release];
    }else {
        self.reportList = (NSMutableArray*) self.result;
        NSLog(@"%d",[reportList count]);
    }
}

This is my last try to help 🙁
