Having issue with reading Plist into UITableView - iphone

Question

I am trying to display a dictionary plist into UITableView , I have read many question and answer here but no luck ! it seems cells return null ! here is my plist :
and my codes :
-(void)viewDidLoad {
NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"feed" ofType:#"plist"];
newsFeed = [NSArray arrayWithContentsOfFile:path];
}
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
return newsFeed.count;
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
return dictionary.allKeys.count;
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
dictionary = [newsFeed objectAtIndex:indexPath.section];
cell.textLabel.text = [[newsFeed objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] valueForKey:#"title"];
return cell;
}
and the result is nothing :

Answer 1

Try this in you want to display only title then try this
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
    return 1;
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
return newsFeed.count;
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
dictionary = [newsFeed objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.textLabel.text = [dictionary valueForKey:#"title"];
return cell;
}
EDIT
And if you want to display all record then try this
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
return newsFeed.count;
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
return dictionary.allKeys.count;
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
dictionary = [newsFeed objectAtIndex:indexPath.section];
NSString *key =[[dictionary allKeys] objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.textLabel.text = [dictionary valueForKey:key];
return cell;
}

You should learn how to debug problems like this. Or if you tried, you should tell us what you tried in the question.
Set a breakpoint in viewDidLoad and make sure, the plist is loaded correctly. The path might be wrong. The file might be corrupt or have a different root object then what you're expecting.
Set a breakpoint in numberOfSectionsInTableView. Is it called at all? Is it called before or after you load your plist? Probably after. In that case you need to call [tableView reloadData]. If it's called what do you return.
Continue like this, step for step until you find the reason.

Try this,I use plist's a lot.
In ViewDidLoad
NSString *plistPath = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath] stringByAppendingPathComponent:self.plistName];
self.tableContents=[NSDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:plistPath];
NSLog(#"table %#",self.tableContents);
NSLog(#"table with Keys %#",[self.tableContents allKeys]);
self.sortedKeys = [[self.tableContents allKeys] sortedArrayUsingSelector:#selector(localizedStandardCompare:)];
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)table numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {
NSArray *listData =[self.tableContents objectForKey:[self.sortedKeys objectAtIndex:section]];
return [listData count];
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView
cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *SimpleTableIdentifier = #"SimpleTableIdentifier";
NSArray *listData =[self.tableContents objectForKey:[self.sortedKeys objectAtIndex:[indexPath section]]];
UITableViewCell * cell = [tableView
dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:SimpleTableIdentifier];
if(cell == nil) {
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc]
initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault
reuseIdentifier:SimpleTableIdentifier];
}
cell.selectionStyle=UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone;
NSUInteger row = [indexPath row];
cell.textLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#" %#",[listData objectAtIndex:row]]; //take your object out
return cell;
}

Set the Root As NSDictionary, put your newsFeed in the dictionary.
Use NSDictionary *dict = [NSDictionary ...fromFile:...];
newsFeed = [dict valueForKey:#"some_key"];
