Question

I want to perform changes in the code which was developed using iOS 3.0, so that it can run on iOS 5.0.

But the problem is this , the tag property of any control in iphone not taking the NSString value in iOS 5.0, while in iOS 3.0 there is no issue related to assign tag as a NSString.

I am getting this warning in iOS 5.0:

lview.tag=@"lblPatientDetail";

"incompatible pointer to integer conversion assigning to integer'(aka 'int') from NSString" 

This warning is present all over the project which is causing high number of issues.

So is there a way where we can assign NSString as a tag value in iOS 5.0?

Use NSDictionary instead if you want to recognize an object by string. I will provide the example below on how to use NSDictionary.

NSDictionary *dictionary;
NSArray *keys = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"key1", @"key2", @"key3", nil];

NSArray *objects = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"How", @"are", @"you", nil];

dictionary = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjects:objects forKeys:keys];

for (id key in dictionary) {

    NSLog(@"key: %@, value: %@", key, [dictionary objectForKey:key]);

}
