NSUserDefaults not setting Toggle Switches in Table!?

[morgs32]

Hi,

My root.plist has about 6 PSToggleSwitchSpecifiers. I am trying to access all of them through my application and through a UITableView controller.

I check in viewDidLoad that the UserDefaults are in fact their default values (a couple 1's and a couple 0's). In the cellForRowAtIndexPath method, I use an existing cell or create a cell with a UISwitch in the accessory view. I also give the switch a tag #.

Then, i set the UISwitch (after setting the label text):

UISwitch *switchView = (UISwitch *)[cell viewWithTag:kSwitchTag];
[switchView setOn: [[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] stringForKey:rowString]intValue] animated:NO];

SO THE QUESTION IS:
The toggle switches all show up OFF when the view loads. However, if I "throw" the screen down in an attempt to scroll (there are only 6 rows so there isn't anywhere to scroll really), the switches set to ON appropriately. How can I get these switches to load properly when the view appears?!!

One more thing, I put [self.tableView reloadData], [self.tableView setNeedsLayout], and [self.tableView setNeedsDisplay] in both viewDidAppear and viewWillAppear methods, and that doesn't work.

Woe is me! Thanks to whoever can help! -Morgan

I think you want to give the switch a boolean value. Not sure that it works with integer values (haven't tried).

try

[switchView setOn: [[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] stringForKey:rowString] boolValue] animated:NO];

You're both right, I should have been using bool values. I was going back and forth between bool and integers (and somehow it was working anyway).

Still, however, I have to throw the screen down to see the switches set to their proper (persisted) values. I have tried "reload" and "needslayout" etc. It sounds like only the reused table cells are showing the proper value? But when I first create a cell it doesn't. I'll post the code as soon as I get home.

Anyone seen this before?

have you tried [tableView reloadData]
