Styling a UIPickerView

[aceiswild]

Im having a bit of trouble setting my text in my UIPickerView. I can get it to function and change the colour and position the text to the centre of the UIPicker but, i can't figure out how to display my Picker text. It only display this: label.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"TEST"]; and not my "array" contents. I know this might be hard to understand, sorry. I have created a @Property, IBOutlet, and @synthesize and did the xib connections but not luck. Maybe my code is not in the right area. Below is my code.

.H

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import <AudioToolbox/AudioServices.h> //

@interface PickerViewController : UIViewController <UIPickerViewDataSource, UIPickerViewDelegate> {
	
	IBOutlet UIPickerView *pickerView;
	NSMutableArray *arraySound;
    IBOutlet UIButton *myButton; //
    IBOutlet UIImageView *animation; //
    IBOutlet UIImageView *animation2; //
    
    IBOutlet UILabel *label;  //FONT
    IBOutlet UILabel *label2;  //FONT 2




}

@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIPickerView *pickerView; //
@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIButton *myButton; //
@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIPickerView *label3; // picker font

-(IBAction) myAction; //
-(IBAction) myAction2; //


// ALL SOUNDS NEED TO BE LABELED HERE ---------------------- START OF LABELING --------------------

-(void)mySound1; //





// ALL SOUNDS NEED TO BE LABELED HERE ---------------------- END OF LABELING --------------------



@end

.M

#import "PickerViewController.h"



@implementation PickerViewController
@synthesize myButton, pickerView, label3; //





int myInt = 0;


//LABEL ALL SOUDS HERE --------------------------- START -------------


-(void)mySound1  //sound1
{
	
	NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"Fart138" ofType:@"wav"];
	SystemSoundID soundID;
	AudioServicesCreateSystemSoundID((CFURLRef) [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path]
									 , &soundID);
	AudioServicesPlaySystemSound (soundID);
	
}


//LABEL ALL SOUNDS HERE --------------------------- END -------------





// Implement viewDidLoad to do additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
- (void)viewDidLoad {
    
    // CUSTOM FART START
    [label setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"pastel" size:64]];
    [label2 setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"Chalkduster" size:32]];
    // CUSTOM FART END
    

    
    [super viewDidLoad];

    
    //LABEL ALL SOUND ARRYAS HERE --------------------------- START -------------
    

    
	arraySound = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
	[arraySound addObject:@"Red"];  //sound1
	[arraySound addObject:@"Orange"];  //sound2
	[arraySound addObject:@"Yellow"];  //sound3
	[arraySound addObject:@"Green"];  //sound4
	[arraySound addObject:@"Blue"];  //sound5
    
    //LABEL ALL SOUND ARRAYS HERE --------------------------- START -------------

    
    [pickerView selectRow:0 inComponent:0 animated:NO];

    
    
}









- (UIView *)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView viewForRow:(NSInteger)row forComponent:(NSInteger)component reusingView:(UIView *)view
{

    //START OF TEXT CENTER PICKER -----------------------
    UILabel *label3 = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 300, 14)];
    label.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"TEST"];
    label.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentCenter;
    label.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
    [label autorelease];
    return label;
    //END OF TEXT CENTER PICKER ------------------------
    
    
    
	//LABEL ALL SOUND ROW HERE --------------------------- START -------------
	
	if (row == 0) { myInt =0; }  //sound1
	if (row == 1) { myInt =1; }  //sound2
	if (row == 2) { myInt =2; }  //sound3
	if (row == 3) { myInt =3; }  //sound4
	if (row == 4) { myInt =4; }  //sound5
	
    
    
    //LABEL ALL SOUND ROW HERE --------------------------- END -------------
    
    
    
    NSLog(@"Selected Sound: %@. Index of selected Sound: %i", [arraySound objectAtIndex:row], row);

Ask me any questions. Thanks for any kind of help!

Try this in viewForRow...

UILabel *label3 = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 300, 14)];
label3.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"TEST"];
label3.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentCenter;
label3.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
[label3 autorelease];
label3.text = [arraySound objectAtIndex:row]; //name of your array
return label3;

This has worked for me.

Thank you lots! Used it in my other app. I found in my current app it still has a conflict with my "-(void)pickerView". All works now. This link may also help:
