Use an integer value as part of a variable name - PHANTOMIAS - Nov 18, 2009 09:19 AM

Hello!

I have many UIImageViewÂ´s on my MainView named imageView1, imageView2, ...
I can detect which imageView is tapped because of the coordinates.

So I have the number, for example 3, but how can I call something like

Code:

imageView3.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"test.png"];

Do you have an idea?

Thanks & Regards.

You call it, by simplyâ€¦ calling it.

Rephrase your question?

Maybe you want an array?

I only have the number:

...
int FIELD = [testController getField:point];
-> now I want to call imageViewFIELD.image = ...

How could I do this?

Yeah you want an array. What you're trying to do isn't possible, though by using an array you can achieve the same result.

Code:

NSArray * imageViews = ...;

int FIELD = [testController getFieldPoint];

[[imageViews objectAtIndex:FIELD] setImage:...];

Look at the NSArray [developer.apple.com] class reference to get yourself started.
