Question

I’m currently trying to create objects from the NSClassFromString(NSString *) method.

What I want to be able to achieve is the following…

NSClassFromString(stringType) *pageController = nil;

Instead of the following…

UIViewController *pageController = nil;

So in other words, instead of using a UIViewController, I want to use the correct class. I want to be able to achieve the above without having to type the exact class.
I would normally write it like the following, but due to expansion of the application, it needs to change.

MPLandscapeImage *pageController = nil;

Is this possible and if so, how can I complete what is needed?

Answer 1

Yes. Do this.

Class cls = NSClassFromString(stringType);
// You have to use id here
id pageController = nil;
// And later
pageController = [[cls alloc] init];
