Comparing uibutton clicks - iphone

Question

I want to be able to control certain functions when a button is clicked either by having a bool or another variable know how many times the button was clicked. For example if the button was clicked once i want to make it display an NSLOG of lets say 1, if its pressed twice i want NSLOG of 2, however once you press it again I cant find a way to get it back to 1..

Answer 1

You could link it to a IBAction containing the following code:
- (IBAction) ButtonAction:(id)sender {
static int x = 0;
x++;
if (x == 3)
x = 1;
NSLog(#"%d", x);
}
And link the button "click" action (TouchUpInside) to this action in interface builder.
Hope it helps!

Answer 2

I don't understand exactly what you're looking for, but maybe something like this?
enum ButtonSequentialAction
{
kButtonSequentialAction1 = 0,
kButtonSequentialAction2,
kButtonSequentialAction3,
kButtonSequentialActionTotal
};
...
- (void) buttonPress
{
switch (m_CurrentButtonAction) // m_CurrentButtonAction is a member variable of the class
{
case kButtonSequentialAction1:
{
// do action 1;
break;
}
case kButtonSequentialAction2:
{
// do action 2;
break;
}
case kButtonSequentialAction3:
{
// do action 3;
break;
}
default:
{
// crap, shouldn't get here.
break;
}
}
m_CurrentButtonAction = (m_CurrentButtonAction + 1) % kButtonSequentialActionTotal;
}
