Question

I have an application where when I pass an object into the method sometimes the object’s value is changed to null. I could not find any thing like this in blogs, please suggest what I should do. I feel that is it like pass by reference or value but don’t know much.

The variable declare in *.h file like

     NSNumber* resultSelectedWeekValue;

and property

     @property (nonatomic, retain) NSNumber* resultSelectedWeekValue;

and in implimentaion

    @synthesize resultSelectedWeekValue =       _resultSelectedWeekValue;

This is delegate method which get the value from one popover

// Show discription of Selected week
         -(void) getSelectedWeekDelegateMethod:(NSString*) getSelectedWeek {

        _resultSelectedWeekValue = [_dbObject getSelectedWeekValue:getSelectedWeek];

        NSLog(@"This is _tempOzs %@ ", _resultSelectedWeekValue);

        if ([_productAttributePopover isPopoverVisible]) {

          [_productAttributePopover dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
       }
  }

      NSLog(@"This is _resultSelectedWeekValue %@ and class %@", _resultSelectedWeekValue, [_resultSelectedWeekValue class]);  // This say the object is deallocate? this is the code below

if ((_resultSelectedWeekValue != nil) && (_tempGranularProduct != nil || _tempLiquidProduct != nil) && ( _tempLbs != nil || _tempOzs != nil)) {

    if ([_tempLbs intValue] != 0) {

        NSDate* _createdDate = [NSDate date];
        //Create the dateformatter object
        NSDateFormatter* _formatter = [[[NSDateFormatter alloc] init] autorelease];
        //Set the required date format
        [_formatter setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd"];
        //Get the string date
        NSString* _formatDate = [_formatter stringFromDate:_createdDate];
        NSNumber* _getNumBags = [self calculateGranularBags];
        NSNumber* _getProductID = [[_dbObject getAppliedProductWeightAttribute:_tempGranularProduct] objectForKey:@"productid"];
        NSNumber* _totalInvestment = [[NSNumber alloc] initWithInt:0];


        NSLog(@"This is _tempScenarioId %@ and class %@", _tempScenarioId, [_tempScenarioId class]);
        NSLog(@"This is _resultSelectedWeekValue %@ and class %@", _resultSelectedWeekValue, [_resultSelectedWeekValue class]);

Answer 1

change the line to:

self._resultSelectedWeekValue = [_dbObject getSelectedWeekValue:getSelectedWeek];

if you were facing issues with the “_resultSelectedWeekValue” variable value.
