Convert String to Int Objective-C?



Really basic iPhone Objective-C question. I'm trying to extract a string (which is really a int) from an array and then use it as an int in a function. I'm trying to convert it to a int using intValue.





Here's the code I've been trying.







NSArray *_returnedArguments = [serverOutput componentsSeparatedByString:@":"];

[_appDelegate loggedIn:usernameField.text:passwordField.text:(int)[[_returnedArguments objectAtIndex:2] intValue]];







I get the error passing argument 3 of 'loggedIn:::' makes pointer from integer without a cast





Thanks for the help,





Christian Stewart

  1. I really don't know what was so hard about this question, but I managed to do it this way [myStringContainingInt intValue];

    That easy.

    Thanks for your effort though.

  2. NSArray *_returnedArguments = [serverOutput componentsSeparatedByString:@":"];


    _returnedArguments is an array of NSStrings which the UITextField text property is expecting. No need to convert.

    Syntax error:

    [_appDelegate loggedIn:usernameField.text:passwordField.text:(int)[[_returnedArguments objectAtIndex:2] intValue]];


    If your _appDelegate has a passwordField property, then you can set the text using the following

    [[_appDelegate passwordField] setText:[_returnedArguments objectAtIndex:2]];

  3. I guess you do not need the (int) part

  4. Basically, the third parameter in loggedIn should not be an integer, it should be an object of some kind, but we can't know for sure because you did not name the parameters in the method call. Provide the method signature so we can see for sure. Perhaps it takes an NSNumber or something.

  5. If I understood you correctly, you need to convert your NSString to int? Try this peace of code:

    NSString *stringWithNumberInside = [_returnedArguments objectAtIndex:2];
    int number;
    sscanf([stringWithNumberInside UTF8String], "%x", &flags);

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
