How to store a NSUInteger using NSCoding?

Question

How do I store a NSUInteger using the NSCoding protocol, given that there is no method on NSCoder like -encodeUnsignedInteger:(NSUIn

Answer 1

You're going to want to use NSCoder's

encodeInt:ForKey:

and

decodeIntForKey:

methods. So, in your case you would need :

- (void)encodeWithCoder:(NSCoder *)encoder {
    [encoder encodeInt:count forKey:@"count"];
}

- (id)initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)decoder {
    self = [super init];
    if (self != nil) {
        count = [decoder decodeIntForKey:@"count"];
    }
    return self;
}

Hope that helps, also, there's plenty more encode "encode" methods, take a look at the documentation for NSCoder :D
