Question

I have been given a project to edit. I think this is a simple question but want to explain it in detail.I usually set up iPhone projects with interface builder and then have a view controller h and m file.

However this has been set up in a different way I am new to, the view has been coded.

The h file is a simple viewcontroller class like this:

@interface MainViewController : UIViewController
 {
 }
 - (id)init;
 @end

And then the m file has this:

@interface MainView : UIView 
{
 NSUinterger firstinterger;
}

- (id)initWithImages:(NSArray *)inImages;

@end

And then it has the @implementation MainView just after that with lots more code.

Further down however is where I need to add my code just after

@end 

@implementation MainViewController

But I need to access the NSUinterger named first integer and I am unable to. I have tried a few ways of synthesizing etc. but I think I am doing it wrong. How I would get the value of it? I can access it in the code before the @implementation MainViewController but not after which is where I need it.

Answer 1

Synthesize the variable in MainView. Have an instance of the MainView in MainViewController and then you can access it by

MainView *mv = [[MainView alloc] init]; 
mv.firstInteger // gives you the variable.
