Hi, I am a real newbie to programming on iphones. What I am trying to do is basically make a joke app for a school project. It starts with a navigation based interface, for categories of jokes. Once you tap a category, it goes to a view with a label and a button. You tap the button to randomly pick and display a joke (from a text file or something like that).
Because i am very new to this, though, I have mostly been making my app out of tutorials. I already have made my navigation based app; with subviews and all. Tapping a subview gets a view with one round button and a label. However, I have not yet set up the whole random part.
Right now, when I tap the button, it says "set by [whichever category it is in]" because the
tutorial (noob, I know) said I should put a code to make it access global application data. I'm still not sure if I need this for my app, I have a feeling it would actually mess it up.
My questions:
Where and how do I construct my text file with all the jokes for a certain category?
What is the code to make it randomly pick a joke from the text, and where do I insert this code?
Do I need the global application data accessing code?
Thanks a whole, whole lot.
