Re: Newb Question re NSUserDefaults and Ints



Brad,

You can't store an int into a Dictionary or user defaults. For the objects you can use, see here:

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/PropertyLists/Articles/AboutPropertyLists.html#/ /apple_ref/doc/uid/20001010

NSNumber and NSString should work.

Also, [ICNElementBarGradientAngleKey intValue] will try to turn the key into a number, not get it's value. You want to use:
[[defaults objectForKey: ICNElementBarGradientAngleKey] intValue];

I'm having a hard time with what should be a simple task - storing an integer for a gradient angle as a user default and then updating the screen. When I quit the app and open it again, the NSTextField shows the last value I set for the gradient, but with the following code:

- (IBAction)changeElementBarGradientAngle:(id)sender {
NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
NSLog(@"gradient angle is %d", [elementBarGradientAngleTextField intValue]);
[defaults setInteger:[elementBarGradientAngleTextField intValue] forKey:ICNElementBarGradientAngleKey];
NSLog(@"Element bar angle is now: %d", [ICNElementBarGradientAngleKey intValue]);
}


I get:

2008-08-29 18:42:10.627 Icon[35645:10b] gradient angle is 75
2008-08-29 18:42:10.628 Icon[35645:10b] Element bar angle is now: 0

I've also tried turning the int into an NSNumber object and using defaults setObject: foKey: without success.

It seems as though I have to use:

[gradient drawInRect:[self bounds] angle: [ICNElementBarGradientAngleKey intValue]];


turning ICNElementBarGradientAngleKey back into an int, which makes me wonder, is setInteger in:


[defaults setInteger:[elementBarGradientAngleTextField intValue] forKey:ICNElementBarGradientAngleKey];


meant to be used with an int, or an object, such as NSUInteger? What am I doing wrong?



Thanks,

Brad
