Ok so I've seen how to do this one or two time in other forums but I cannot get the int to display. I have IBActions set up so when a button is pressed it adds to int A (A+=1) but how would I go about displaying int A in UILabel Label1. I know this a simple question but, im stuck here and cannot find anything in the apple UILabel class pages.
Got a tip for us?

iOS Int into a UILabel

I have a few, I know I should use them but I like trying something first then refering to the books, but I would much rather ask a live person over trying to find a line or two of code in a book to complete a simple program. I am slowly reading through the books though.
Eh? what? I think that's a valid way of doing this.
Perhaps you haven't used Interface builder to connect your view controller with the label?
Have you declared the label in a header? Have you done the @property and @synthesize for it?
Have you then connected the label to the controller via IB?
Also, you will need to connect the button to your incremental action.
You'll learn this if you work through the first 2-3 chapters of an iPhone programming book. It's super useful.
Yup i've done all of that the only thing might be that I connected them through the delegate by accident after seeing the @synthesize and the @ property for the window in there. Should I move my outlets to my view controller. Here is the code
Code:
//
// PitchCounterAppDelegate.m
// PitchCounter
//
#import "PitchCounterAppDelegate.h"
@implementation PitchCounterAppDelegate
@synthesize window;
@synthesize tabBarController;
@synthesize PitchCount;
@synthesize Team1Item;
@synthesize Team2Item;
@synthesize Settings;
@synthesize Ball;
@synthesize Strike;
@synthesize Reset;
@synthesize Count2Team1;
@synthesize Count2Team2;
@synthesize BallCount;
@synthesize StrikeCount;
@synthesize TotalPitches;
@synthesize Team2Name;
@synthesize Team1Name;
@synthesize string;
int A=00;
int B=00;
int C=00;

A+=00;
B+=01;

NSLog(@"Total %i",A+B);
}
- (IBAction)changeStrikeCount:(id)sender {
A+=01;
B+=00;
C+=(A+B);
NSLog(@"Balls %i",B+0);
NSLog(@"Strikes %i",A+0);
NSLog(@"Total %i",A+B);
//Changes the StrikeCount Label
UILabel *StrikeCount = [[UILabel alloc] init];
StrikeCount.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", A];
}
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
// Override point for customization after application launch.

[window addSubview:tabBarController.view];

return YES;

@endIm assuming you're using Interface builder to build the view you're displaying the labels on but in your header file
instead of @property(nonatomic, retain) UILabel *<name>;
It should have an IBOutlet in there. Especially if you wanna connect it with interface builder.
If you want to change a label via code without building the label programmatically it needs to be an IBOutlet so you can access it.
EDIT. In the .h file, I see you added all the IBOutlets in the declaration portion. They should all be in the @property lines.

@endBut I had the IBOutlets in the line above as shown in an iPhone programming book and they are connected with Interface Builder.
Ah, hmm. My programming book shows em in the property lines....
perhaps it doesnt matter as long as they're connected.
This line is wrong:
UILabel *StrikeCount = [[UILabel alloc] init];
Why are you Allocating a new label? You've already synthesized strikeCount so you can access like:
self.strikeCount.text =[NSString stringWithFormat
"%d", A]EDIT:
Do an NSlog to make sure strikeCount.text has been changed. If the label display still doesn't change, than it has to be a connection issue.
Edit2/warning: I think by doing all of this in the appdelegate you'll run into problems, especially with the tabcontroller there.
Typically the appdelegate would manage the tabbarcontroller while additional view controllers would manage the content of the tabs. Idk, maybe you're doing something different, but if you haven't worked through books I figured I'd say it.
I dont have much experience myself, hope im still helping.

Ill go change it all into the view controller. What book do you have? I have iPhone development for dummies 2nd edition. It is a little outdated though as it refrences ios2

Ah Yea, definitely. iOS2 is when the appstore first came out. Definitely update!
I recommend. Beginning iPhone development by DaveMark and Jeff LaMarche.
Hopefully they have a 4.0 one out now.

Removing that one line did the trick thanks and ill have to look into that book.
