Question

So I have a method that sets an integer: -(void)setcurrentviewfromint:(int)currentint{ It is in a class called MyView. From my viewDidLoad method, I call it, and set it too 1:
currentview is of type int, created in my header file

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    MyView *myview = [[MyView alloc]init];
    [myview setcurrentviewfromint:1];
}

Then, in MyView.m, I have these classes:

-(void)setcurrentviewfromint:(int)currentint{
    currentview = currentint;
    NSLog("currentviewis:%d",currentview);
    [self setNeedsDisplay];
}

- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect {
    NSLog(@"drawRectCalled");
    if (currentview == 1) {
        NSLog(@"do something here");
        }
    }

}

But the debugger prints out:

2012-07-18 18:02:44.211 animation[76135:f803] currentviewis:1
2012-07-18 18:02:44.223 animation[76135:f803] drawRectCalled

But doesn’t print “do something here”. Any ideas why currentview doesn’t equal 1?

Answer 1

First, about your question.
What datatype is currentview?
Second, it looks like your NSLog in setcurrentviewfromint: never gets called. If it was called, youd see “currentviewis:1” so make sure that is linking up correctly.

And, I must say, camel-case! Your method names are all lowercase and it’s hard to read. 🙂
