Random Image

[Nosleep]

Hi, complete noob seeks help here.

I'm trying to create an app that at the push of a button gets an image from a url, the image would be random from a selection that I've uploaded. I've managed to get it to get 1 image from a url how would i go about making it's selection random.

Thank you in advance!

to generate a random number between 0 and X use

int yourRandomNumber = arc4random() % X;

Thank you for the help! Something I also need help with is building the array from which i would get the images as I'm getting some errors, I followed another tutorial on here about getting random urls from an array but it wasn't that helpful for a newcomer myself!

I appreciate that this is probably very annoying but we were all noobs once right? Thanks in advance!

create your array like

NSMutableArray *yourArray = [NSMutableArray arrayWithObjects:@"link1", @"link2", @"link3", @"link4", @"link5", @"link6", nil];

extract 1 link randomly, and download\show it.

int yourRandomNumber = arc4random() % yourArray.count;

NSString *myLink = [yourArray objectAtIndex:yourRandomNumber];

I am still running into some errors. Here is my .m file :

-(IBAction)showImage;
{ theimageview.image= [UIImage imageWithData:[NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa425/nosleepdev/4.png"]]];


NSMutableArray *yourArray = [NSMutableArray arrayWithObjects:
@"http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa425/nosleepdev/1.jpg", @"http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa425/nosleepdev/2.gif", @"http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa425/nosleepdev/3.gif", @"http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa425/nosleepdev/4.png", @"link5", @"link6", nil];




{
int yourRandomNumber = arc4random() % yourArray.count;

NSString *http;http:////i1197.photobucket.com/album...sleepdev/4.png = [yourArray objectAtIndex:yourRandomNumber];

} < The errors are both related to this, "Label at the end of compound satement" and "Expected Statement" As well as this I'm getting yellow flagged regarding unused variables "http" and "yourRandomNumber" If you could just explain where I'm going wrong I would greatly appreciate it!

I apologise in advance as I understand this must be very tedious and the problem is probably very obvious. Thank you for helping and thanks for being patient with me.
