tempUITextView setText: @"some text" gives an error

Question

i created a UIView* myView and then i created a UITextVIew *tempUITextView and set its text as

[tempUITextView setText:@"some text"];
[myView addSubView: tempUITextView];

when i run the code, it gives an error: Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[UIView setText:]:

please give more detail description, the declaration of the textview. So that it can be identified. — V.V, May 23 '12 at 05:22
Judging by the error tempUITextView is not actually what you think it is. @iPhoneFun is right, show us how you are creating it. — sosborn, May 23 '12 at 05:24
UIView* myView =[[[UIView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,100,90)]autorelease]; UITextView* tempUITextView =[[[UIView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 30)]autorelease]; — Neo, May 23 '12 at 05:28
Did you find your mistake in " UITextView* title=[[[UIView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 30)]autorelease]; " ? — V.V, May 23 '12 at 05:29
the error was show in **[tempUITextView setText:@"some text"];** reason: '-[UIView setText:]: — Neo, May 23 '12 at 05:30
you are assigning textview an uiview - so there won't be any property of setText, use UITextView* tempUITextView =[[[UITextView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 30)]autorelease]; — V.V, May 23 '12 at 05:38
Above your declaration - check it, it's totally wrong. you are assigning (I think you have written) is wrong still you are not accepting your error ? what does it mean "UITextView* tempUITextView =[[[UIView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 30)]autorelease];" — V.V, May 23 '12 at 05:48

Do following things:

UIView *myView = [[UIView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 280, 320, 180)];//Any frame you want to set
[myView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor redColor]]; // Given color to differntiate between myView and tempUITextView
UITextView *tempUITextView = [[UITextView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 200, 100)];//Any frame for tempUITextView in myView
[tempUITextView setText:@"hi"];
[myView addSubview:tempUITextView];
[self.view addSubview:myView];

Why has this answer a -1? You clearly made tempUITextView an UIView instead of an UITextView. You even posted it yourself: UITextView* tempUITextView =[[[UIView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 30)]autorelease]; *edit, did an up vote – Rick van der Linde May 23 '12 at 05:47

Your mistake is in this line

UITextView* tempUITextView =[[[UIView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 30)] autorelease];

Replace it with

UITextView* tempUITextView =[[[UITextView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 30)]autorelease];

Are you using IBOutlets for the view and textview? If so, please check whether you have connected outlets to wrong object.
