NSDictionary with integer as number

I have a NSDictionary with the following layout:

{
  1:{
    ... some d开发者_运维问答ata ...
  }
  ...
}

I have a NSNumber object with a integer value of 1, but when I do [my_dict objectForKey:my_number] it returns null.

If I try and convert NSNumber to a integer via [my dict objectForKey:[my_number intValue]] I get a warning and the program crashes when it reaches that part of the code.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Keys in a NSDictionary or NSMutableDictionary must be objects, like NSNumber. They cannot be primitive data types, like int.

Looks like you're trying to use an integer as the key in your NSDictionary. This would be correct with an NSArray, with an NSDictionary actually needs a proper object as a key.

You might have more success in this particular case feeding that data into an NSArray, and accessing it with:

id *someData = [my_array objectAtIndex:1];
