It was very strange when I saw this on debugging my application.
int iTag = btnTemp.tag; //btnTemp.tag = 1
NSString *strFriendID = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%i",iTag];
gave me strFriendID as empty string.
int iTag = btnTemp.tag; //btnTemp.tag = 1
NSString *strFriendID = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d",iTag];
gave me strFriendID as 1.
How can this happen?
i don't know why you get this answer, but when i read your question i tried in my project but i get the value
UIButton *btnTemp = [[UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom] retain];
btnTemp.tag = 1;
int iTag = btnTemp.tag; //btnTemp.tag = 1
NSString *strFriendID = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%i",iTag];
NSLog(@"Str %@", strFriendID);
NSString *strFriendID1 = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d",iTag];
NSLog(@"Str %@", strFriendID1);

2012-03-26 10:32:02.901 Leaves[506:f803] Str 1
both gives me 1
As per Apple:
%d, %D and %i all represent Signed 32-bit integers.
So yeah it's weird that %i didn't work but it's not so weird that %d worked.
Perhaps btnTemp.tag was null at that point
