Multiple UIPickers IOS - ios

Question

Hello guys thanks for reading this question. So i have been stuck on this issue for a while now and need a bit of help. I am attempting to implement multiple pickers in IOS but they do not come out as planned. I successfully done one picker by itself but attempting to add another one in the same view i have ran into problems.
So at first i thought it was a problem to do with this line of code. But when using the return 1: it would just return the same ui picker twice. And return 2 returns the same issue as above but with two rows.
-(NSInteger)numberOfComponentsInPickerView: (UIPickerView *)pickerView {
/*
return 1;
*/
if(pickerView == _picker) {
return _colourSourceArray.count;
} else if(_picker == _mustachepicker) {
return _mustacheArray.count;
}
}
Both of my datasources are linked to the same view, would this be causing the problem?
What my .h looks like:
////// Frame Colour Picker
#property (strong, nonatomic)NSArray *colourSourceArray;
#property (strong, nonatomic)NSString *selectedcolour;
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIPickerView *picker;
////// Mustahce Picker
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIPickerView *mustachepicker;
#property (weak, nonatomic) NSArray *mustacheArray;
#property (weak,nonatomic) NSString *selectedMostache;
/////////////////////////
And my .m methods:
-(NSInteger)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView numberOfRowsInComponent:(NSInteger)component {
NSInteger comp = 0;
if(_picker == _mustachepicker){
comp= _mustacheArray.count;
} else if(pickerView == _picker) {
comp= _colourSourceArray.count;
}
return comp;
}
-(NSString *)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView titleForRow:(NSInteger)row forComponent:(NSInteger)component {
NSString *title;
if(_picker == _mustachepicker){
title= _mustacheArray[row];
} else if(pickerView == _picker){
title = _colourSourceArray[row];
}
return title;
}
-(void)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView didSelectRow:(NSInteger)row inComponent:(NSInteger)component {
if(_picker == _mustachepicker){
NSString *mustacheString= _mustacheArray[row];
NSLog(mustacheString);
_selectedMostache=mustacheString;
} else if(pickerView == _picker){
NSString *resultString = _colourSourceArray[row];
_selectedcolour= resultString;
NSLog(resultString);
}
NSLog(_selectedcolour);
NSLog(_selectedMostache);
}
Any help would be appreciated :)

As you have created two different pickers, then why are you setting the tag to the pickers just compare the UIPicker in there DataSource and Delegate methods like this
-(NSInteger)numberOfComponentsInPickerView: (UIPickerView *)pickerView {
if(pickerView == _picker) {
return _colourSourceArray.count;
} else if(_picker == _mustachepicker) {
return _mostacheArray.count;
}
}
-(NSInteger)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView numberOfRowsInComponent:(NSInteger)component {
NSInteger comp = 0;
if(_picker == _mustachepicker){
comp= _mostacheArray.count;
} else if(pickerView == _picker) {
comp= _colourSourceArray.count;
}
return comp;
}
-(NSString *)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView titleForRow(NSInteger)row forComponent:(NSInteger)component {
NSString *title;
if(_picker == _mustachepicker){
title= _mostacheArray[row];
} else if(pickerView == _picker){
title = _colourSourceArray[row];
}
return title;
}
-(void)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView didSelectRow:(NSInteger)row inComponent:(NSInteger)component {
if(_picker == _mustachepicker){
NSString *mostacheString= _mostacheArray[row];
NSLog(mostacheString);
_selectedMostache=mostacheString;
} else if(pickerView == _picker){
NSString *resultString = _colourSourceArray[row];
_selectedcolour= resultString;
NSLog(resultString);
}
NSLog(_selectedcolour);
NSLog(_selectedMostache);
}
