A noob and his nib, hooking a UIImageView

[Savij]

hello,

I am learning iPhone dev and I love it so far. I am having an issue where I created a UITabBarController that loads 4 views. All of this was done in the nibs (except for actually creating the UITabBarController in the delegate class). Everything works perfectly. What I want to do is hook an UIImageView in the xib so I can change it in code from the viewcontroller. So I created an IBOutlet in my firstViewController and dragged a UIImageView onto my view. But anytime I hook the outlet up, the application just bombs. I even tried dragging a UIImageView into the firstView.xib and didnt put it on the view, that runs fine, but when I hook up the outlet it just bombs on me with an uncaught exception.

Maybe I am approaching this the wrong way. Ultimately I want a view with a few images that the user can swipe to view. Am I going about this the wrong way?

Thanks and sorry if this is really basic stuff... I am a c# developer but I'm tryin real hard to convert.

Here is my code:

@interface HomeViewController : UIViewController {
IBOutlet UIImageView *homeImageView;
}

@property(nonatomic,retain) UIImageView *homeImageView;
@end


@implementation HomeViewController
@synthesize homeImageView;
Then I just ctrl+drag from File Owner to the ImageView in IB and save. Then BOOM!

Can anyone point me in the right direction??

What is the exception that appears in the console?

Use the code tags for showing code.

Put the IBOutlet token on your property, not (only) on your ivar.

In IB, check class identity, make sure you have the correct view controller.

Thanks for the tips, I know the class identity is correct, but I did forget the IBOutlet on the property. I'll give that a try.

Thanks!!

Just realized I never closed out this thread. The problem I had, I could not figure out. I copied the code to a new project and it worked! I must have changed some setting in xcode inadvertantly, or maybe the project got corrupt somehow.

Anyway the above worked great! Thanks for the help
