Question

I’m a newcomer to the iPhone world. (Previously, I’ve developed for android.)

I’ve got this code in one of my Android apps:

String body = "<Item type='Customer' id= '"+id+"'  action='delete'/>";

What’s the same in Objective-C?

Answer 1

You can use -[NSString stringWithFormat:]:

NSString *body = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"<Item type='Customer' id='%@' action='delete'/>", idNum];

Assuming the ID is stored in the variable idNum. (id is actually a type in Objective-C, so you don’t want to use that as a variable name.)
