NSArray is getting an EXC_BAD_ACCESS

I'm not entirely sure if I wrote this array correct in the first place. Here is the .h in my app delegate.

NSString *text0;
...
NSString *text123;

NSMutableArray *fortunesArray;
}

@property(nonatomic,retain) NSMutableArray *fortunesArray;

@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIWindow *window;

@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet AppViewController *viewController;

@end

Then in the app delegate.m I'm assigning all of them like such.

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
    // Override point for customization after application launch.

text0 = @"Text here";
...
text123 = @"Text here";

self.fortunesArray = [NSMutableArray arrayWithObjects:text0,text1,text2,text3,text4,text5,text6,text7,text8,text9,text10,text11,text12,text13,text14,text15,text16,text17,text18,text19,text20,text21,text22,text23,text24,text25,text26,text27,text28,text29,text30,text31,text32,text33,text34,text35,text36,text37,text38,text39,text40,text41,text42,text43,text44,text45,text46,text47,text48,text49,text50,text51,text52,text53,text54,text55,text56,text57,text58,text59,text60,text61,text62,text63,text64,text65,text66,text67,text68,text69,text70,text71,text72,text73,text74,text75,text76,text77,text78,text79,text80,text81,text82,text83,text84,text85,text86,text87,text88,text89,text90,text91,text92,text93,text94,text95,text96,text97,text98,text99,text100,text101,text102,text103,text104,text105,text106,text107,text108,text109,text110,text111,text112,text113,text114,text115,text116,text117,text118,text119,text120,text121,text122,text123,nil];


 self.window.rootViewController = self.viewController;
    [self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
    return YES;
}

I have tried this with NSArray and Mutable. The EXC_BAD_ACCESS is showing up pointing at text3 and before it was pointing at text5. If I cut out everything after about 50 the screen will open but when I finally try to have it work by clicking the button it resorts back to that bad access. (So can't tell if there is an issue with the views button yet because this issue is happening at this array repeatedly.) I'll post the code that calls it, but I'm pretty sure the main issue has something to do with this array.

In my view controller.m

-(IBAction)ganjaButton:(id)sender{
AppDelegate *appDelegate = (AppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];

int pressCo开发者_如何学运维unt;
NSString *display;
if(pressCount%2==0){
    [sender setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"nug2.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
    display = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"%@",[appDelegate.fortunesArray objectAtIndex:40]];
}
else{
    [sender setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"nug1.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
    display = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"%@",[appDelegate.fortunesArray objectAtIndex:44]];
}
pressCount++;

label.text = display;
[display release];

}

Also yes in the above code the part that says AppDelegate is actually my AppDelagtes name.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Have you thought about storing all those text values in a plist and loading them into an array with [NSArray arrayWithContentsOfFile:filePath];?

That would be a MUCH cleaner solution in the first place.

Edit: To get the filePath, assuming your plist is named "textStrings.plist" you would use the following:

NSString *filePath = [bundle pathForResource:@"textStrings" ofType:@"plist"];

Try this:

self.fortunesArray = [NSMutableArray arrayWithObjects:text0, text1, text2, nil];

I don't know if there's a maximum number of parameters that you can pass into a method, but if there is it's likely that you're exceeding that limit at 124, and probably also at 50. If everything works fine when you pass just a few objects into the array, you should just find a different way to create the array. Another answer mentions using a property list, which would be a fine solution. You could also use a plain old text file with some delimiter between strings, read that into a single string, and use NSString's -componentsSeparatedByString: method to create an array.

On the other hand, if you still have trouble with just a few objects in the array, you'll know that the problem lies elsewhere. I don't see any obvious problems, but I'd be on the lookout for other places in your code where the fortunesArray property is set.

I think the array is getting autoreleased and thats why the crash is appearing. Try allocating memory for the array

self.fortunesArray =[[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithObjects:text0,text1...text123,nil];

and release the array once you are done with it. But I will Strongly recommend using plist file as suggested by Christopher.
