Text and text color from an int value

I have four integer values: 1, 2, 3 and 4. Instead of printing the int values, I have to transform to a corresponding text.

1 -> my text 1
2 -> another text
3 -> yet another one
4 -> text 4

Also I have to change the color:

1 -> gra开发者_如何转开发y
2 -> black
3 -> blue
4 -> green

So I did this:

NSArray *myArray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"",@"my text 1",@"another text", @"yet another one", @"text 4", nil];
myTextLabel.text = [myArray objectAtIndex:myInt];

But how to get the color code? Normally I do this:

myTextLabel.textColor = [UIColor greenColor];

But how can I do this with my list? And also, what is the best way to to the transformation of an integer value to a text and a text color code? Perhaps there is a better way?

Thank you in advance & Best Refards.

The same way :

NSArray *myColorArray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects: [UIColor whiteColor], [UIColor greyColor], [UIColor blueColor], [UIColor greenColor], nil];
myTextLabel.textColor = [myColorArray objectAtIndex:myInt];

For the index 0, you can't use nil, so put a color that you know you won't use.

Are these hard-coded at compile-time? If so, you might find that this works better:

static struct { NSString *text; UIColor *color; } map[] = {
    { @"my text 1"      , [UIColor grayColor ] },
    { @"another text"   , [UIColor blackColor] },
    { @"yet another one", [UIColor blueColor ] },
    { @"text 4"         , [UIColor greenColor] },
};

Write two class methods to get the color and string for the text:

static NSArray *textColorList = nil;
static NSArray *stringList = nil;

// Creates the color list the first time this method is invoked. Returns one color object from the list.
+ (UIColor *)textColorWithIndex:(NSUInteger)index {
    if (textColorList == nil) {
        textColorList = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:[UIColor grayColor], .., nil];
    }

    // Mod the index by the list length to ensure access remains in bounds.
    return [textColorList objectAtIndex:(index+1) % [textColorList count]];
}

+ (NSString *)stringWithIndex:(NSUInteger)index {
    if (stringList == nil) {
        stringList = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects: @"my text 1", ... , nil];
    }

    return [stringList objectAtIndex:(index+1) % [stringList count]];
}
