iOS Setting navbar title with variable

[thomasjt]

Hi,

I have a view which is created with details which depend on which button a user clicks. So, say the user clicks a button named 'Tom', I would like the navbar title to be Details of Tom...

I've tried this:

detailView.title = @"Details of %@", whichButton.titleLabel.text;

Where whichButton is the button that the user clicked on. Unfortunately, all this shows me is 'Details of %@' in the navbar title.

Any ideas?

Wow, that was exactly what I was looking for and was very helpful. Sadly though I suck and (new scenario now) in the situation I am trying to use it this doesn't work:

UIImage *myImage = [[UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", name]]];

Any suggestions? Sorry, I'm very new to Objective-C and the syntax is still really confusing me.

Cheers,

Tom

imageWithContentsOfFile needs a path:

[UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"yourImage" ofType:@"png"]];

You might prefer imageNamed if you want to just hand it a string.
