Question

i am trying to get a random string from database i have tried to convert array in a String but when i click button i only get address can anyone help me how to show that string in my button action?
- (IBAction)randBtn:(id)sender {
SendQuoteVC *svc= [[SendQuoteVC alloc]initWithNibName:#"SendQuoteVC" bundle:nil];
DBHandler *db =[[DBHandler alloc]init];
arr =[db randomQuote];
NSMutableString * show = [[NSMutableString alloc] init];
for (NSObject * obj in arr)
{
[show appendString:[obj description]];
}
NSLog(#"The concatenated string is %#", show);
NSString *rs =[NSString stringWithFormat:#" %#",show];
svc.quote=rs;
[self.navigationController pushViewController:svc animated:YES];
}
and my log message is
2012-12-26 17:02:46.062 SendQuote[2281:c07] QUERY: SELECT * FROM quotes ORDER BY RANDOM() LIMIT 1
2012-12-26 17:02:46.097 SendQuote[2281:c07] txtQuote is (
"<quoteDC: 0xa9a94c0>"
)
2012-12-26 17:02:46.100 SendQuote[2281:c07] rand is (
"<quoteDC: 0xa9a94c0>"
)
i have changed my user entity class to quoteDC class and my Db function is
-(NSMutableArray *)randomQuote{
NSMutableArray *dataArray =[[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
NSString * sqlStr=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"SELECT * FROM quotes ORDER BY RANDOM() LIMIT 1"];
sqlite3_stmt *ReturnStatement = (sqlite3_stmt *) [self getStatement: sqlStr];
while (sqlite3_step(ReturnStatement)==SQLITE_ROW)
{
#try
{
quoteDC *worddc = [[quoteDC alloc] init];
NSString *userid = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:(char *)sqlite3_column_text(ReturnStatement, 0)];
NSString *name = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:(char *)sqlite3_column_text(ReturnStatement, 1)];
worddc.quote_id=[userid integerValue];
worddc.quotes=name;
[dataArray addObject:worddc];
}
#catch (NSException *ept) {
NSLog(#"Exception in %s, Reason: %#", __PRETTY_FUNCTION__, [ept reason]);
}
}
return dataArray;
}

Answer 1

the [db randomQuote] method returns an array of users not strings, you can typecast it to user object than get your desired property out of it!

Answer 2

It seems like your array is an array of objects of some user class rather than array of strings.
Hence the call to
[obj description]
is returning an object instead of a string.
You would need to override the description method in your user class, and return string.

Answer 3

This code makes the issue:
for (NSObject * obj in arr)
{
[show appendString:[obj description]];
}
Because your entity class don't have a property like description.
Instead of this write:
for (quoteDC * obj in arr)
{
[show appendString:[obj quotes]];
}

Answer 4

Try this i think it work for u...
- (IBAction)randBtn:(id)sender {
SendQuoteVC *svc= [[SendQuoteVC alloc]initWithNibName:#"SendQuoteVC" bundle:nil];
DBHandler *db =[[DBHandler alloc]init];
arr =[db randomQuote];
NSString *rs =(NSString *)arr;
svc.quote=rs;
[self.navigationController pushViewController:svc animated:YES];
}

Answer 5

Instead of for (NSObject * obj in arr) use the object that is stored in arr.
I guess it is some DBHandler object. So use
for (DBHandler * dbh in arr){
[show appendString:[dbh thePropertyYouWantToAppend]];
}
