Question

I am new to programming and very new to objective c so I apologize for any incorrect terminology, or possibly making an easy concept more difficult than it is.

I have two very simple integer arrays that I want to switch based on the current device

 int iPhoneDevice[2] = {320,410};
 int iPadDevice[2] = {768,1024};

How would I assign each array to a single variable based on the current device??? Along the same idea as this.

if([[CurrentDevice] isEqualToString:@"iphone"]) {
        foo = iPhoneDevice[];      
    }else{
        foo = iPadDevice[];
    }

I need to be able to call both values of “foo” in my next conditional statement based on portrait. In my mind the logic would be similar to this.

 if(orientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait || orientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown) {
        bar = foo[1];
    }else {
        bar = foo[0];
    }

I have the intended result with an extra nested if, but I am trying to condense/clean up my code as much as possible. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

int iPhoneDevice[2] = {320,410};
int iPadDevice[2] = {768,1024};

// I think this is the c syntax you're looking for
int *foo;

// CodaFi always has awesome amounts of knowledge handy
if ([UIDevice currentDevice].userInterfaceIdiom == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad) {
   foo = iPadDevice;
} else {
   foo = iPhoneDevice;
}
