How to update an object's image in NSMutableArray? - iphone

Question

I am trying to set the image of the face down card to the image that the value of the card is. The method in KCCard, image:, returns the image of the card.
- (UIImage *)image:(BOOL)yesOrNo
{
if (!yesOrNo) {
return [UIImage imageNamed:#"back-blue-150-3.png"];
} else {
return [UIImage imageNamed:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#-%#-150", [self suitAsString], [self valueAsString]]];
}
}
The code I am using in the deal method is as follows.
int lastDealerX = 437;
//int lastDealerY = 49;
int lastDealerTag = 0;
for (KCCard *aCard in dealerHand) {
if (lastDealerTag == 0) {
KCCardView *cardView = [[KCCardView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(lastDealerX, 49, 150, 215)];
cardView.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
cardView.image = [aCard image:NO];
cardView.tag = lastDealerTag;
[self.view addSubview:cardView];
lastDealerTag = lastDealerTag + 1;
lastDealerX = lastDealerX + 42;
} else {
KCCardView *cardView = [[KCCardView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(lastDealerX, 49, 150, 215)];
cardView.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
cardView.image = [aCard image:YES];
cardView.tag = lastDealerTag;
[self.view addSubview:cardView];
lastDealerTag = lastDealerTag + 1;
lastDealerX = lastDealerX + 42;
}
}
The KCCardView with tag 0 shows the card face down and the other card is face up. The problem is that when I want the face down card to show, it won't. Here is the show code.
- (IBAction)showCard:(id)sender {
for (UIView *view in self.view.subviews) {
for (KCCard *aCard in dealerHand) {
KCCardView *cardView = (KCCardView *)view;
if (cardView.tag == 0) {
cardView.image = [[dealerHand objectAtIndex:0] image:YES];
}
}
}
}
KCCard is an NSObject, KCCardView is a UIImageView, and dealerHand is an NSMutableArray.

Answer 1

If you look at the connection in the nib you'll notice that it is connected to
showCard
this is a completely different method to
showCard:
In your class you implement - (IBAction)showCard:(id)sender; therefore you need to break the connection in Interface builder and reconnect it.
Update
The second time I ran your program I got
-[UIRoundedRectButton setImage:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x68612e0
This looks like it's because you are iterating over the view's subviews and checking if 0 == tag. 0 is the default value for tag so essentially mostly every view will respond true unless you have explicitly set the tags to something else. The problem code it
for (UIView *view in self.view.subviews) {
for (KCCard *aCard in dealerHand) {
KCCardView *cardView = (KCCardView *)view;
if (cardView.tag == 0) { // <------- This is the bad check
cardView.image = [((KCCard *)[dealerHand objectAtIndex:0]) image:YES];
}
}
}
To fix this either do one of these (they are in order of my preference - I wouldn't go near 3 or 4 in this case):
Keep a reference to the cardView's in an array
Give the cardView's a non zero tag when they are created
Use respondsToSelector:
Test for the class `[cardView isKindOf:[UIButton class]];

Answer 2

The compiler does not know, what kind of object [dealerHand objectAtIndex:0] is, thus it cannot respond to image:. Try this:
cardView.image = [((KCCard *)[dealerHand objectAtIndex:0]) image:YES];
