Thanks for all the replies regarding %s vs. %@, and the rather
disastrous attempt at using CGContextXXX methods. Even if I had fixed
all the other issues, I was using CGContextSelectFont incorrectly
anyway. I didn't have a hope. That, unfortunately, is down to
documentation not being complete /

Good :) The problem with using "%s" is that it doesn't work well with non-ASCII
characters. Cocoa has to assume some character encoding to map the by

One bug I see here: you're passing a wrong length parameter.
CGContextShowTextAtPoint expects the length of the char array (number of bytes
of the UTF-8 encoded string), but you'e passing the numb
You probably want UILabel. UITextView is a much more heavyweight class
that supports editing as well as display.
(My bad, a label is called a TextView on Android - got mixed up.)
These both are just wasting CPU cycles and adding extraneous code.

Yes thank you both that has been driving me crazy mostly because I
knew it was something stupid like that.

The parentheses are not correct in that position.
You're using the C comma operator
(http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/cclass/int/sx4db.html) and passing one
argument to stringWithFormat:, which is the count of the array. That
isn't a pointer.

I think the parens around the argument to stringWithFormat: are
causing the compiler to interpret the comma as a C comma operator,
which means the result of the first expression (your format string) is
ignored, and the result of the second expression ([array count]) is
treated as the
So I have done the standard Google search and clean all targets but
neither has helped. I have the following two lines of code:

fine
