Weird behavior of UILabel

Question

I have a UILabel Outlet, and everytime I access its text property with multiple characters, then it will crash and gives me EXC_BAD_ACCESS. Its very weird and I can't find any solution for this issue.

Thanks. sasayins

Answer 1

When it got EXC _BAD _ACCESS, would you mind get the backtrace and post it here?

Or better: post the code where you access/modify the UILabel.

Answer 2

Did you synthesize the property? are you releasing it somewhere by mistake? gotta put some code up in order for us to help you...

Answer 3

You probably forgot to link the outlet in Interface Builder to the desired UILabel. This means that the UILabel is currently nil (non existent). Drag a line from the file owner to the UILabel to connect the outlet in Interface Builder.

Answer 4

Make sure that your outlet does not have the same name as a property of one of the super classes of your view controller. For example, UIViewController has a title property, and if you create an outlet with the name of "title" you are overriding this property and will most likely have problems.
