How do I set an Integer in a UITextfield using Core Data?

Question

I can set text in my managed object like this...

[editedObject setValue:textField.text forKey:editedFieldKey];

but I can't set this...

[editedObject setValue:numberField.text forKey:editedFieldKey];

In the XCode Template I can set this straight into the Managed Object but like this...

setValue:[NSNumber numberWithInt:200] forKey:@"jCode"];

but I can't seem to set it via a UITextField... Please can someone point me in the right direction... It will be highly appriciated...

You likely don't want to create an instance variable in the header. You can simplify your implementation and provide an (id)value all in one line.

[editedObject setValue:[NSNumber numberWithInteger:[[numberField text] integerValue]] forKey:editedFieldKey];

Thanks very much, this helped me and seemed to help @Stef. Not sure why he didn't accept this as the right answer though. :/ – Joshua Aug 06 '10 at 07:24

Thanx Eminatas...

1st what I did is in my header file add an int..

int userNumber;

Then in my implimentation, added this

NSString *numberString = [numberField text];
userNumber = [numberString intValue];

Then edited up managedObject like this...

[editedObject setValue:[NSNumber numberWithInt:userNumber] forKey:editedFieldKey];

Thanx for pointing me in the right direction...

Stef :-)
