无法使用NSData（包含png）初始化NSMutableData

Question

there is a error in my iPhone app. I use the CameraPicker to make and get a picture and then I give it to my methode sendPhoto, which will send the photo to TweetPhoto. Everything works great until I initialize an NSMutableDate with NSData. Here is the code:

- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info {
    [picker dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
    NSData *imageData = [info objectForKey:@"UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage"];
    [self sendPhoto:(NSString*)@"lola" tweet:(BOOL)TRUE photo:(NSData*)imageData tags:(NSString*)@"" longitude:(float)1024 latitude:(float)512];
}

Here is the sendPhoto-methode:

- (void)sendPhoto:(NSString*)message tweet:(BOOL)tweet photo:(NSData*)photo tags:(NSString*)tags longitude:(float)longitude latitude:(float)latitude {
    NSString *url;
    if (tweet) {
        url = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://www.tweetphoto.com/uploadandpostapiwithkey.php"];
    } else {
        url = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://www.tweetphoto.com/uploadapiwithkey.php"];
    }

    NSString * boundary = @"tweetPhotoBoundaryParm";
    NSMutableData *postData = [NSMutableData dataWithCapacity:[photo length] + 1024];
    //!!!Here is the error!!!!                      
    NSUserDefaults *prefs = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];

    NSString * userNameString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"username\"\r\n\r\n%@", [prefs stringForKey:@"username_preference"]];
    NSString * passwordString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"password\"\r\n\r\n%@", [prefs stringForKey:@"password_preference"]];
    NSString * apiString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"api_key\"\r\n\r\n3eceaa7c-6d4d-41ab-be90-2a780e2d1961"];
    NSString * messageString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"message\"\r\n\r\n%@", message];
    NSString * tagsString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"tags\"\r\n\r\n%@", tags];
    NSString * latString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"latitude\"\r\n\r\n%f", latitude];
    NSString * longString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"longitude\"\r\n\r\n%f", longitude];
    NSString * boundaryString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"\r\n--%@\r\n", boundary];
    NSString * boundaryStringFinal = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"\r\n--%@--\r\n", boundary];

    [postData appendData:[boundaryString dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
    [postData appendData:[userNameString dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
    [postData appendData:[boundaryString dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
    [postData appendData:[passwordString dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
    [postData appendData:[boundaryString dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
    [postData appendData:[apiString dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
    [postData appendData:[boundaryString dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
    //(...)
}

The console also says this: * Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '* -[UIImage length]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x3b28df0'

Thanks for your help. Maybe there is just a stupid mistake in the code by me, but please don´t be angry, because I´m just learning programming for 2 1/2 weeks.

Answer 1

It sounds like you're passing a UIImage into this method, not an NSData chunk. Can you try logging the photo argument?

Answer 2

What exactly is the error you're getting? In other words, what makes you think there is an error on the line you've indicated?

If it crashes, what are the errors printed to the console?
