Can"t do mathematical operations with int from NSUserDefaults



i have integer data, stored in NSUserDefaults, there is my code:







- (IBAction)addButton:(id)sender {

NSInteger oldValue = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] integerForKey:@"myValue"];



NSString *string1=[addTextField text];

int add = [string1 floatValue];

int new = globalCalories;

int old=oldValue;



if(recomended.text==[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%i", oldValue]){

**self.day = (int)roundf(old-add);

dayLeft.text=[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", oldValue-add];

}**



else

{

self.day=(int)roundf(new-add);

dayLeft.text=[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", day];

}

}







I copied all of button action code, just in case, but i did mark with bold strings of code, that appear to not work. So, it suppose to do mathematical operations with stored data (oldValue), but when i launch programs, it dosnt, in fact, it does, but instead of valid value program "think" that oldValue is 0 (instead of valid value).





So, when it contain, for example, number 2000, and I launch program and enter in text field 500, it suppose to be 1500 (2000-500), but it shows -500.

  1. The problem is that == compared the address es of the NSString and not their values (see many SO questions). To compare strings use the isEqualToString: method.

    However in this case it would be even better to compare the numbers ie convert recomended.text to the number and use a intValue method on dayLeft.

  2. You can convert recommended.text to integer by using this:
    int recommendedValue = [recommended.text intValue];
    then compare the numbers.

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?
