Question

I created a button and added an action for it, but as soon as it invoked, I got this error:

-[NSCFDictionary numberButtonClick:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance
 0x3d03ac0 2010-03-16 22:23:58.811
 Money[8056:207] *** Terminating app
 due to uncaught exception
 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason:'*** -[NSCFDictionary numberButtonClick:]:  unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x3d03ac0'

This is my code:

- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil {
    if (self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil]) {
        UIButton *numberButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];        
        numberButton.frame = CGRectMake(10, 435, 46, 38);
        [numberButton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"one.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
        [numberButton addTarget:self action:@selector(numberButtonClick:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
        [self.view addSubview: numberButton]; 
    }
return self;
}

-(IBAction)numberButtonClick:(id)sender{
    NSLog(@"---");
}

It looks like you’re not memory managing the view controller properly and it is being deallocated at some point – which causes the numberButtonClicked: method to be sent to another object that is now occupying the memory that the view controller was previously occupying…

Make sure you’re properly retaining/releasing your view controller.
