calling selector with two arguments on NSThread issue

iphone, nsthread, objective-c

Solution

You need to pass the extra parameters in an object passed to withObject like so:

NSDictionary *extraParams = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjects:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"user",@"password",nil] andKeys:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"valueForUser",@"valueForPassword",nil]]

[NSThread detachNewThreadSelector:@selector(loginWithUser:) toTarget:self withObject:extraParams];

Problem

I'd like to make a Thread with multiple arguments. Is it possible? I have the function: ``` -(void) loginWithUser:(NSString *) user password:(NSString *) password { } ``` And I want to call this function as a selector: ``` [NSThread detachNewThreadSelector:@selector(loginWithUser:user:password:) toTarget:self withObject:@"someusername" withObject:@"somepassword"]; // this is wrong ``` How to pass two arguments on withObject parameter on this detachNewThreadSelect function? Is it possible?
