Question

is there any way by which I can change an id type to NSString object?
note the following line of my code.

NSString *value = [appDelegate.bird_arr objectAtIndex:rowClicked] ;

in this appDelegate is object of my AppDelegate class in a navigation based program and bird_arr is object of NSMutableArray.
I want to use the string written in row which is clicked. But objectAtIndex: returns id type.
Do we have any way to change this id type to NSString or any other way by which I can collect string inside the specific row?

Answer 1

yep, just cast it

NSString *value = (NSString *)[appDelegate.bird_arr objectAtIndex:rowClicked];

If you want to double check that it really is an NSString use

[someId isKindOfClass:[NSString class]]
