Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException' reason --> unrecognized selector sent to instance

Question

I get this error when i play with the searchbar that I have just implemented.. Some letters work while others will crash with the error in the title. The error seems to be here but i cannot figure out what is wrong with it :

* Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[BIDPresidentDetailViewController rowImage]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x754e360' * First throw call stack:

I have got the below code in my .m file which is giving me the above error. I am not sure as what is the error that i have made in my code:

#pragma mark - Table view data source

- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
    // Return the number of rows in the section.
    return kNumberOfEditableRows;
}

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";
    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];

    // Configure the cell...

    if (cell == nil) {

        cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
        UILabel *label = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 10, 75, 25)];

        label.tag = kLabelTag;
        label.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentRight;
        label.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:14];
        [cell.contentView addSubview:label];

        UITextField *textField = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(90, 12, 200, 25)];
        textField.tag = kTextFieldTag;
        textField.clearsOnBeginEditing = NO;

        textField.returnKeyType = UIReturnKeyDone;
        [textField addTarget:self action:@selector(textFieldDone:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventEditingDidEndOnExit];
        [cell.contentView addSubview:textField];
    }

    UILabel *label = (id)[cell viewWithTag:kLabelTag];
    label.text = self.fieldLabels[indexPath.row];

    UITextField *textField = (id)[cell viewWithTag:kTextFieldTag];
    textField.superview.tag = indexPath.row;
    switch (indexPath.row) {
        case kNameRowIndex:

            break;            
        default:
            break;
    }

    return cell;
}

- (void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField

    initialText = textField.text;
}

- (void)textFieldDidEndEditing:(UITextField *)textField

    if (![textField.text isEqualToString:initialText]) {
        hasChanges = YES;
        switch (textField.superview.tag) {
            case kNameRowIndex:

            default:
                break;
        }
    }
}

Please help me here as its eating my brain and i am stuck on it since yesterday!

Answer 1

What is happening here is that rowImage: is being sent to your view controller. What should rowImage: be sent to? (I'm guessing the tableView cell but can't confirm…) Once you figure out which object the message should be sent to, then correct your code.

I can't give specifics because I didn't see where rowImage: was being set or sent.
