Objective C- Loading a UIPickerview using the objects in it - ios

i have a picker view which contains values from an NSMutableArray
NSMutableArray array=[[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
for(int t=-20 ;t<70;t++)
{
NSString *string=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d",t];
[array addObject:string];
}
-(NSString *)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView titleForRow:(NSInteger)row{
return [array objectAtIndex:row];
}
I select a value from the picker and save it in database. Afterwards when the page is loaded picker should be loaded with the saved value.
How can I achieve it?
I have seen accessing selected row by passing index value like
[pickerview selectRow:20 inComponent:0 animated:NO];
but in my case is it possible to get the values' index ?or is there any other way?
please help

As you model will change so you can send indexOfObject message to array to get index. Try This
NSInteger index=[array indexOfObject:#"ObjectYouHave"];

How to make UIPickerView Rotational? [duplicate]

I would like to show a set of consecutive numbers in a UIPickerView component but have it wrap around like the seconds component of the Clock->Timer application. The only behavior I can enable looks like the hours component of the Timer application, where you can scroll in only one direction.
It's just as easy to set the number of rows to a large number, and make it start at a high value, there's little chance that the user will ever scroll the wheel for a very long time -- And even then, the worse that will happen is that they'll hit the bottom.
- (NSInteger)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView numberOfRowsInComponent:(NSInteger)component {
// Near-infinite number of rows.
return NSIntegerMax;
}
- (NSString *)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView titleForRow:(NSInteger)row forComponent:(NSInteger)component {
// Row n is same as row (n modulo numberItems).
return [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d", row % numberItems];
}
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
self.pickerView = [[[UIPickerView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero] autorelease];
// ...set pickerView properties... Look at Apple's UICatalog sample code for a good example.
// Set current row to a large value (adjusted to current value if needed).
[pickerView selectRow:currentValue+100000 inComponent:0 animated:NO];
[self.view addSubview:pickerView];
}
- (void)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView didSelectRow:(NSInteger)row inComponent:(NSInteger)component {
NSInteger actualRow = row % numberItems;
// ...
}

When it asks for the title of a row, give it:
Code:
return [rows objectAtIndex:(row % [rows count])];
When it says the user didSelectRow:inComponent:, use something like this:
Code:
//we want the selection to always be in the SECOND set (so that it looks like it has stuff before and after)
if (row < [rows count] || row >= (2 * [rows count]) ) {
row = row % [rows count];
row += [rows count];
[pickerView selectRow:row inComponent:component animated:NO];
}
It appears that the UIPickerView does not support wrapping around natively, but you can fool it by inserting more sets of data to be displayed and when the picker stops, centering the component to the middle of the data set.
Just create an array multiple times, so that you have your numbers multiple times. Lets say when want to have the numbers from 0 to 23 and put that in an array. that we will do 10 times like this...
NSString *stdStepper;
for (int j = 0; j<10; j++) {
for(int i=0; i<24; i++)
{
stdStepper = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d", i];
[_hoursArray addObject:stdStepper];
}
}
later we set the row 0 selected like this
[_hoursPickerView selectRow:120 inComponent:0 animated:NO];

How to get the values of selected cells of a UITableView in one string

i'm pretty sure this is really simple. But i can't get to make this work. I have a UITableView where i display dynamically a list of facebook friends, thanks to their FBID. Basically, i would like to return the FBIDs of the friends i selected, in one string separated with commas. If possible, in a IBAction, so i can pass them into parameters of a php.
For example, let's pretend i have a list of 4 friends, A B C D, and their ids are 1,2,3,4.
If i select A and C, i would like to have a string which says 1,3.
All i managed to do is to display the id of the friend i select, one at a time.
Here's my code :
-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
rowcount = [[tableView indexPathsForSelectedRows] count];
indexer = [idFriends objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
aapell = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#", indexer];
NSMutableString * arrayIds = [[NSMutableString alloc] init];
[arrayIds appendString:aapell];
NSLog(#"ids: %#", arrayIds);
}
Thank you in advance, i'm sure this is not complicated.
-(IBAction)gatherFBIds
{
NSString *listOfFacebookIDs = #"";
NSArray *indexPathArray = [self.tableView indexPathsForSelectedRows];
for(NSIndexPath *index in indexPathArray)
{
//Assuming that 'idFriends' is an array you've made containing the id's (and in the same order as your tableview)
//Otherwise embed the ID as a property of a custom tableViewCell and access directly from the cell
//Also assuming you only have one section inside your tableview
NSString *fbID = [idFriends objectAtIndex:index.row];
if([indexPathArray lastObject]!=index)
{
listOfFacebookIDs = [listOfFacebookIDs stringByAppendingString:[fbID stringByAppendingString:#", "]];
}
else
{
listOfFacebookIDs = [listOfFacebookIDs stringByAppendingString:fbID];
}
}
NSLog(#"Your comma separated string is %#",listOfFacebookIDs);
//Now pass this list to wherever you'd like
}
The problem is that you are not using the information in indexPathsForSelectedRows. That is telling you all the selected rows. Instead, you are just looking at indexPath.row, which is the one row most recently selected.
What you need to do is cycle through indexPathsForSelectedRows and gather up the info for every row that is currently selected (I'm assuming you've enabled multiple selection here).
Use the following code to get the selected rows in a table view. :)
NSArray *selectedRows=[tableView indexPathsForSelectedRows];
NSMutableArray *rownumberArray=[[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
for (int i=0; i<selectedRows.count; i++) {
NSIndexPath *indexPath = [selectedRows objectAtIndex:i];
NSInteger row = indexPath.row;
NSNumber *number = [NSNumber numberWithInteger:row];
[rownumberArray addObject:number];
}
// rownumberArray contains the row numbers of selected cells.

Displaying text from multiple components in UIPickerView

I need to display the values most recently selected in a multiple component pickerview in my label
I have a pickerView with three components, populated by three NSMutableArrays (rowOneItems,rowTwoItems,rowThreeItems).
I also have an NSLog statement that is correctly showing what the user last selected from the changed component.
However, I cannot figure out how to show the most recently selected values in the label properly.
Currently, the label takes the value from the first picker and displays it, but will not properly update the second and third values. Rather it selects the value that's in the same spot as it. For example, if all three arrays had the values of bird, dog, and cat, when I pick 'dog' in the picker view, the label will show three 'dog' values.
What I want to do is display the values of what the user has selected in the pickerview into a label.
- (void)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView didSelectRow:(NSInteger)row
inComponent:(NSInteger)component {
//log which row is selected in each component
//this shows the values correctly in output
if(component ==1) {
return NSLog(#"Selected Difficulty: %#",[rowTwoItems objectAtIndex:row]);
}
else if(component ==2) {
return NSLog(#"Selected Duration: %#",[rowThreeItems objectAtIndex:row]);
}
else{
NSLog(#"Selected Type: %#",[rowOneItems objectAtIndex:row]);
}
//define chosen items
//stuck here. tried using a if else statement as above, but of course that would only return the first value in the label
NSString *chosenType = [rowOneItems objectAtIndex:row];
NSString *chosenDifficulty = [rowTwoItems objectAtIndex:row];
NSString *chosenDuration = [rowThreeItems objectAtIndex:row];
[workoutResults setText:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#, %#, %#", chosenType, chosenDifficulty, chosenDuration]];
}
Just started learning obj-c, so my apologies if this is a total newbie question. Thanks for any guidance you can give me.
That method you've got above is called for a single row's change, and not for all. (So the 'row' variable) isn't useful outside of the row that was just changed. You'll want to call selectedRowInComponent:
NSString *chosenType = [rowOneItems objectAtIndex:[pickerView selectedRowInComponent:0]];
NSString *chosenDifficulty = [rowTwoItems objectAtIndex:[pickerView selectedRowInComponent:1]];
NSString *chosenDuration = [rowThreeItems objectAtIndex:[pickerView selectedRowInComponent:2]];

NSMutableArray last Object

I'm trying the iCarousel, there is a function that deletes the view's index and the array's index,
NSInteger index = carousel.currentItemIndex;
[carousel removeItemAtIndex:index animated:YES];
[imagesArray removeObjectAtIndex:index];
I'm deleting it until one item remains, then if one item remains I want to insert the duplicate of it. I tried this:
insertItemAtindex:carousel.currentItemIndex but it's inserting the last View.
But what I wanted is to insert carousel's/imagesArray last object/index in my view. How can I implement it, or how can I determine an NSMutableArray's last object that is left in the view?
carousel.lastObject !!!!!!!!!!
You can check for last object using -
int count = [yourArray count];
[yourArray objectAtIndex:count - 1]; //this will always return you last object
