Question

I’m stuck with a problem here in UIColor.

I’ll be getting color names from webservices like

Red, Blue, Magenta ……. and so.

how can i set the backgroundColor of a view using this.

i can only find class methods with these color names ([UIColor redColor], [UIColor blueColor], [UIColor magentaColor]) but i’m not able to write a code which programatically calls these methods cause the color names i get are dynamic.

PLease Help…..

Thank you.

The Key Value Coding mechanism allows you to interact with class’s properties using string representations of the property names.

NSString* colorString = @"redColor";
UIColor* color = [UIColor valueForKey:colorString];
