Colours within a NSArray arrayWithObjects

Question

I have a simple leader boards table for an iphone game that allows me to view the previous high scores however the background is black and therefore it is not visible. I am using the code:

[highscores addObject:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"Title",[NSNumber numberWithInt:5000],nil]];

Can I change the colour easily?

All help greatly appreciated, I expect it is simple but google is coming back with little.

Thanks in advanced!

You meant to say.. '[highscores addObject:@"whiteColor"];' '[view setBackgroundColor:[UIColor [highscores objectAtIndex:0]]];' ?? — Nina, Jul 17 '12 at 12:00
No, I just want to keep the layout I have and add an extra method if needed to implement it in white. — user1432813, Jul 17 '12 at 12:02
@David, I have just used the default text colour, I have not edited it in any way to anything other than the default. — user1432813, Jul 17 '12 at 12:04
The code you put up doesn't affect the color at all. I don't understand what you mean. Can't you change the color in the XIB or storyboard? — woz, Jul 17 '12 at 12:04
I don't understand what exactly you are trying!! You can simply change the background color when the particular method is called! — Nina, Jul 17 '12 at 12:08
Did you try something like this: `[view setBackgroundColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];`? — woz, Jul 17 '12 at 12:08
The background is and image that is constant throughout the app. — user1432813, Jul 17 '12 at 12:18
It's a `UIImage`? Then change it using: `[backgroundImage setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"foo"]];`. Is that what you mean? You need to edit your question to be more clear. — woz, Jul 17 '12 at 12:21
Look, I am only 14 and I am new to programming, I appreciate the help everyone but I dont understand to well; the pastebin is here: http://pastebin.com/ZY5VRDNK I have established that it is tied to a UILabel so in a separate method I need to make the label text white/ — user1432813, Jul 17 '12 at 12:23
You want your label to have white text? If so, it's as simple as `[label setTextColor:[UIColor whiteColor]]` when you instantiate the `UILabel`. — Anshu Chimala, Jul 17 '12 at 12:31

changing the color is not related with an Array.Its related with the container who displays the Title . you may binding the Title string to any UILabel.

So you have to set the textColor property to white.

Eg: label1.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];

To make the UILabel white, remove this code:

[label1 setRGB:0 :0 :0];

And add do this instead:

[label1 setTextColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];

Let me know if this helps you. Posting your code definitely helps. You are doing great at age 14, so keep it up.

Cheers, I appreciate it. The only thing is that I receive a warning label may not receive set text colour, is that a worry? – user1432813 Jul 17 '12 at 12:38
In your code, use `UILabel`, not `Label`. Don't you have a red squiggle under `Label`? – woz Jul 17 '12 at 12:42
No but I will use UILabel now – user1432813 Jul 17 '12 at 12:55
When I use UILabal it juist returns with an error for the .position – user1432813 Jul 17 '12 at 12:56
AHHHHHH Now when I build and run the app crashes after the high scores table is suppose to display! – user1432813 Jul 17 '12 at 12:58
