NSBundle mainBundle not found

Question

I'm using the split view template on the iPad.

In my MasterViewController the code:

NSBundle * bundle = [NSBundle mainBundle];

works.

In my DetailViewController the same code shows an error? I imported <UIKit/UIKit.h>. It knows NSBundle but does not recognize mainBundle for whatever reason.

Would be nice if so. could help me!

Error

Missing "[" at start of message send expression

EDIT

ANSWER:

I forgot the brackets. It's in a case-statement. So use:

case 1:
{
   //bla ...
}

Why would you use this code in a header file? Could you paste the code where this error happens? — Eimantas, Dec 18 '11 at 11:51
No, it's used in the `.m` file. Sorry for the confusion. I edited my answer. I want to initialize a `NSURL` for a `MPMediaPlayerController`. — DAS, Dec 18 '11 at 11:54
Copy and pasted text is a lot easier to work with that an image. — zaph, Dec 18 '11 at 12:08

In case statements if a variable is declared braces are required around the statement, this is just plain "C" syntax.

Fixed:

switch (sender.row) {
    case 1:
    {
        NSURL *movieURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"testclip" ofType:@"mov"]];
        MPMoviePlayerController *player = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:movieURL];
    }
}

I changed MoviePlayerController to MPMoviePlayerController assuming that is what the op meant. I also added the missing player variable.

Yep. I found out by myself. :) – DAS Dec 18 '11 at 12:08

You need to add curly braces inside the case's if you're going to declare new variables.

This code won't compile

case 1:
     NSURL *foo;

This will:

case 1:
{
    NSURL *foo;
}
