Question

Using text field to display an alert [closed]
(1 answer)
Closed 8 years ago.
I asked this question before but for some reason it says closed, but i never got the right answer,can anyone help me add a text field, where if the user types a number in text field once the number reaches the same number as the counter it displays an alert.
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
int NumberCount;
#interface ViewController : UIViewController
{
int counter;
IBOutlet UILabel *count;
}
-(IBAction)minus;
-(IBAction)plus;
-(IBAction)zero;
#end
#import "ViewController.h"
#interface ViewController ()
#end
#implementation ViewController
-(IBAction)plus {
counter=counter + 1;
count.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%i",counter];
}
-(IBAction)minus {
counter=counter - 1;
count.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%i",counter];
}
-(IBAction)zero {
counter=0;
count.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%i",counter];
}
- (void)viewDidLoad {
counter=0;
count.text = #"0";
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
}
- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
{
[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
#end
I tried adding this in but it didn't work
if (count.text == textField ) {
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Congrats"
message:#"You met that number"
delegate:self
cancelButtonTitle:#"OK"
otherButtonTitles:nil];
[alert show];
}
My ViewController.h :
__weak IBOutlet UITextField *textField;

You are comparing a string with an UITextField object.
You have to compare the count.text string with textField.text string.
Try this:
if ([count.text isEqualToString:textField.text]) {
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Congrats"
message:#"You met that number"
delegate:self
cancelButtonTitle:#"OK"
otherButtonTitles:nil];
[alert show];
}
