iphone NSMutableArray loses objects at end of method
- by Brodie4598
Hello - in my app, an NSMutableArray is populated with an object in viewDidLoad (eventually there will be many objects but I'm just doing one til I get it working right). I also start a timer that starts a method that needs to access the NSMutableArray every few seconds. The NSMutableArray works fine in viewDidLoad, but as soon as that method is finished, it loses the object.
myApp.h
@interface MyApp : UIViewController {
NSMutableArray *myMutableArray;
NSTimer *timer;
}
@property (nonatomic, retain) NSMutableArray *myMutableArray;
@property (nonatomic, retain) NSTimer *timer;
@end
myApp.m
#import "MyApp.h"
@implementation MyApp
@synthesize myMutableArray;
- (void) viewDidLoad {
cycleTimer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:4.0 target:self selector:@selector(newCycle) userInfo: nil repeats:YES];
MyObject *myCustomUIViewObject = [[MyObject alloc]init];
[myMutableArray addObject:myCustomUIViewObject];
[myCustomUIViewObject release];
NSLog(@"%i",[myMutableArray count]); /////outputs "1"
}
-(void) newCycle {
NSLog(@"%i",[myMutableArray count]); /////outputs "0" ?? why is this??
}
