    }

Answer 1

[picker selectRow:[self.pickerData indexOfObject:indexToSelect] inComponent:0 animated:NO];

See the UIPickerView Class Reference for details.

Answer 2

Do you just want to select a certain row programmatically?

In that case, try -selectRow:inComponent:animated: (see the documentation for UIPickerView.

Answer 3

You need to call selectRow from viewDidAppear on the parent view controller. I encountered the same problem when I was calling selectRow from viewDidLoad. Move your selectRow into viewDidAppear and the UIPickerView will respond appropriately.

Answer 4

You can call selectRow from viewDidLoad after [super viewDidLoad] on the parent view controller. Your UIPickerView property should be properly initialized at that point.
