iOS Checking if text exists in UITextView

[UberMonjie]

if ([newMessageEntry text] != @"") {

No worky! The condition always comes back true, regardless of if I type anything into newMessageEntry textview.

How can I check to see if newMessageEntry actually had some text entered?

Thanks!

Compare against the length property of the text string. If it's == 0, there's no text.

Yep!

That did it, thanks!

That did it, thanks!

Something even better I found: UITextView has a "hasText" instance method. So,

if ([newMessageEntry hasText]) {

should do the trick.
