NSUserDefaults with UISegmentedControl

[kieran12]

Hey everyone,

I have a UISegmentedControl with three segments. I also have a button/IBAction called updatePrefs. When this is clicked I want to save the NSUserDefaults. It needs to remember which segment the user has selected. I have tried this code:

NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
	[defaults setObject:[feedProvider selectedSegmentIndex] forKey:@"feedProvider"];
	[defaults synchronize];

(feedProvider is the name of the UISegmentedControl)

I get an error:

passing argument setObject:forKey makes pointer from integer without cast.

Any ideas to what is wrong.

Your problem is that you are trying to set an int as an object. Try this instead assuming feedProvider is your UISegmentControl object.

 NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
	[defaults setObject:[NSNumber numberWithInt:[feedProvider selectedSegmentIndex]] forKey:@"feedProvider"];
	[defaults synchronize];

great that seems to be working. How can i restore the NSUserDefaults?

[BSDimwit]

NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
feedProvider.selectedSegmentIndex = [[defaults objectForKey:@"feedProvider"] intValue];
