Question

The answer in this question was helpful to me (and I up-voted it) in understanding how to retrieve the stepper value in the IBAction method, but I am still not understanding how to get the initial value of the stepper when I first load the view.

I want to set the initial value to 1 so in IB attributes I set Stepper Current (and Minimum) to 1. and then in viewDidLoad set my label outlet as follows:

 self.label.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", stepper.value];

but when the view displays, the label displays a value of 0 and when I NSLog to examine stepper.value the debugger shows (null).

I get, I think, that I need to somehow instantiate the UIStepper object at this point but I need to understand how to retrieve the initial stepper value.

Answer 1

Check if stepper equals nil in that method. Perhaps you didn’t set up your IBOutlet properly?
