How to get a counter of an UITextView?

Question

Hello, I want a counter that shows in a UILabel how many charachters the UITextView has.

I tried this:

IBOutlet UITextView *twittermessage;
UIActionSheet * loadingActionSheet;
IBOutlet UILabel * anzahl;

Here the .m:

- (void)textViewDidChange:(UITextView *)twittermessage{
    int count = [twittermessage.text length];
    anzahl.text = (NSString *)count;
    }

Thanks for your help and sorry for my bad English.

You can't cast an integer to a NSString using C-style casts. You have to apply a string formatter to count to get a string representation of count.

Your code should look like:

- (void)textViewDidChange:(UITextView *)theTwitterMessage{
    int count = [theTwitterMessage.text length];
    anzahl.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d",count];
}
