iOS Best way to update variable with Boolean , show YES in string.

[trojanvillage]

Hello All,
I'm looking for the best way to implement what I'm sure is an easy thing to do.
I have a table view with each cell representing a variable. When you click each cell, it will show a checkmark and save somewhere that it has been checked with a boolean value. In another view, I want the check marked variables to be listed as a string, or some related way. This new view would check to see what variables Boolean is updated every time it redraws.

So, how do I go about doing this, and is there an easier way than what I have planned in my head?

Thanks you for your Help,

Wes.

If possible, can I / how do I do this with a .plist? Can I simply send the plist a message to toggle the boolean YES/NO and then have the other view read the plist?

Build a model controller to contain the state of your variable(s). Call Boolean getters & setters in that model controller from the handlers for the checkbox view initialization and action delegates.

You then could also do a getter from that model than returns a string object, and call that string getter from wherever you want to display a string representation in a view.

I think this falls under the MVC paradigm.

Me, I would just use a global, less lines of coding:
BOOL foo;
extern BOOL foo;
foo = YES;
myString = foo ? @"YES" : @"NO" ;

thanks

First, what's the strong desire to use plists? What are you hoping it'll do that other solutions won't?

Second, the usual approach for a tableview is to have an array of objects as the data-source for the table. Depending on your needs, often you'll create a new class to model this object, and then you can add your checkmark boolean as a property of this class.

I see what you're saying, can you give me some example code showing the checkmark boolean property?

thanks for your help!
