    <p>I'm still learning Objective-C so forgive me if this is a simple amateur mistake, but I guess we all have to learn somehow.</p> <p>Basically I have an app with a simple bit of text, at the header of the screen, which has been IBOutletted and called 'headerText'. I want this to read "Summary for February", replacing February with whatever month it is - so the month must be fetched dynamically.</p> <pre><code> - (void)setHeaderText { NSString *headerTextTitle; NSString *monthString; NSDate *month; NSDateFormatter *dateFormat; month = [[NSDate alloc] init]; // Automatically fills in today's date [dateFormat setDateFormat:@"MMMM"]; monthString = [dateFormat stringFromDate:month]; headerTextTitle = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"Summary for (%@)", monthString]; headerText.text = headerTextTitle; [headerTextTitle release]; [monthString release]; [month release]; [dateFormat release]; } </code></pre> <p>I can obviously modify the text and stuff, but I find the app crashes whenever I call this method on viewDidLoad. Could anyone tell me what's wrong? I THINK it errors in this line here:</p> <pre><code>[dateFormat setDateFormat:@"MMMM"]; </code></pre> <p>Because when using breakpoints stuff goes a bit funny there. What am I doing wrong? I'm rather confused.</p> <p>I appreciate the help!</p> <p>Jack</p> <p>EDIT: I'm now doing this:</p> <pre><code>month = [[NSDate alloc] init]; // Automatically fills in today's date dateFormat = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init]; [dateFormat setDateFormat:@"MMMM"]; monthString = [dateFormat stringFromDate:month]; </code></pre> <p>But it's still failing?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
