Saving buttonIndex into object(NSNumber) - iphone

Question

I am trying to save the selectedIndex of actionsheet into an object. But why does it always read 0?
-(void)actionSheet:(UIActionSheet *)actionSheet clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex {
NSNumber *type, *count;
if ([actionSheet.title isEqualToString:#"Select Taxi Type"]) {
if (buttonIndex !=3) {
type = [NSNumber numberWithInteger:buttonIndex];
UIActionSheet *taxiCountQuery = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:#"Select Taxi Count" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"Cancel" destructiveButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles:#"1", #"2", #"3", nil];
taxiCountQuery.actionSheetStyle = UIActionSheetStyleBlackOpaque;
taxiCountQuery.tag = actionSheet.tag;
[taxiCountQuery showFromTabBar:self.tabBarController.tabBar];
[taxiCountQuery release];
}
}
else if ([actionSheet.title isEqualToString:#"Select Taxi Count"]){
if (buttonIndex !=3) {
NSLog(#"buttonIndex:%i", buttonIndex);
count = [NSNumber numberWithInteger:buttonIndex];
NSLog(#"type:%f", type); // always read 0
NSLog(#"count:%f", count); // always read 0
}
}
}
EDIT - 2nd part
-(void)actionSheet:(UIActionSheet *)actionSheet clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex {
NSNumber *type = [[NSNumber alloc] init];
if ([actionSheet.title isEqualToString:#"Select Taxi Type"]) {
if (buttonIndex !=3) {
type = [NSNumber numberWithInteger:buttonIndex];
UIActionSheet *taxiCountQuery = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:#"Select Taxi Count" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"Cancel" destructiveButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles:#"1", #"2", #"3", nil];
taxiCountQuery.actionSheetStyle = UIActionSheetStyleBlackOpaque;
taxiCountQuery.tag = actionSheet.tag;
[taxiCountQuery showFromTabBar:self.tabBarController.tabBar];
[taxiCountQuery release];
}
}
else if ([actionSheet.title isEqualToString:#"Select Taxi Count"]){
if (buttonIndex !=3) {
NSNumber *count = [[NSNumber alloc] initWithInteger:buttonIndex+1];
NSLog(#"buttonIndex:%i", buttonIndex);
count = [NSNumber numberWithInteger:buttonIndex +1];
NSLog(#"type:%i", [type intValue]); // always read 0
NSLog(#"count:%i", [count intValue]); // reads fine now
[count release];
}
}
}

Answer 1

NSNumber is an object that can hold basic types for storing in data structures like NSDictionary and NSArray. The %f in the NSLog is looking for a double.
This code should be giving you a warning.
If you do NSLog(#"%i",[type intValue]) you will get the right answer.

Answer 2

Please check out this code.
NSNumber *numberNs = [[NSNumber alloc] initWithInteger:buttonIndex];
Hope this helps you.
