SIGABRT error - segmented control - ios

Question

i have a segmented control which, depending on what is selected, is meant to allocate a value to a NS string, as follows:
-(IBAction)driverKnownIndexChanged{
switch (self.driverKnown.selectedSegmentIndex) {
case 0:
driverKnownResponse = #"Yes";
break;
case 1:
driverKnownResponse = #"No";
break;
default:
break;
}
}
however, it is throwing a SIGABRT at the following line:
#import "RoadSafetyAppAppDelegate.h"
int main(int argc, char * argv[])
{
#autoreleasepool {
return UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, NSStringFromClass([RoadSafetyAppAppDelegate class]));
}
}
and here is the console output:
2014-01-30 13:32:16.403 Road Safety App V2[3873:70b] -[DobInAHoonViewController driverKnown:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0xcd23440

and Ideas as to why i am having this problem? and a solution would also be appreciated.

Answer 1

This line switch (self.driverKnown.selectedSegmentIndex) { is accessing a property named driverKnown but that driver is unknown. The stack trace and exception are telling you that driverKnown is an undeclared or unknock getter method for the property.
The exception calls out DobInAHoonViewController which in that line of code would be the self. Is driverKnown suppose to be the name of your UISegmentedControl? Can we see the creation of said UISegmentedControl?

Answer 2

your method doesn't know selectedSegmentIndex . because you not value of segment value changed
UISegmentControl *mySegmentedControl = [[UISegmentControl alloc]init];
[mySegmentedControl addTarget:self action:#selector(segmentValueChanged:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
- (IBAction)segmentValueChanged:(id)sender {
UISegmentedControl *driverKnown = (UISegmentedControl *)sender;
switch (driverKnown.selectedSegmentIndex) {
case 0:
driverKnownResponse = #"Yes";
break;
case 1:
driverKnownResponse = #"No";
break;
default:
break;
}
}
