Novice Programmer - do this for fun and learning..
I am trying to populate 2 UIPickerView's with data from a SQLite query
Every time I run this, I get this error:
-[__NSArrayI length]: unrecognized selector sent to instance
What I'm trying to do is simple, and shouldn't be this painful a problem. Can you please review, and tell me what may be causing the error?
Please note, I have stripped a lot of the "fluffy" code out for the display elements - I am aware that none of this code is causing any of the issues..
