Grabbing multiple rows from sudzc - ios5

I'm trying to return multiple rows from a sudzc wsdl. I have loaded the result into a dictionary. The code below gives me the first result. How do I retrieve all of the results instead of just the first one? I'm looking for CSHR_POS_NAME where [ID.text intValue] == CSHR_NUM.
dict = [resp objectForKey:#"TC"];
if( ( dict == nil ) || ![dict isKindOfClass:[NSDictionary class]] ) {
NSLog( #"WARNING: %#", [dict description]);
return;
}
desc = [[dict objectForKey:#"CSHR_POS_NAME"]copy];
CashierNum = [[dict objectForKey:#"CSHR_NUM"]copy];
NSLog(#"Name: %# and Cashier Number: %#",desc, CashierNum);
I was able to accomplish in vb:
If dsCashiers.Table("TC").Rows.Count > 0 Then
...

[d setObject:v forKey:[child name]];
NSString* key = [child name];
id check = [d objectForKey:key];
if( check != nil ) {
NSInteger next = 1;
key = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#%d", [child name], next];
check = [d objectForKey:key];
while( check != nil ) {
next++;
key = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#%d", [child name], next];
check = [d objectForKey:key];
}
[d setObject:v forKey:key];
}
[d setObject:v forKey:[child name]];

Detect what was changed from ABAddressBookRegisterExternalChangeCallback

I am using ABAddressBookRegisterExternalChangeCallback to get the external changes in AddressbookBook of the user. I am using the following code to register the callback:
ABAddressBookRef ntificationaddressbook = ABAddressBookCreate();
ABAddressBookRegisterExternalChangeCallback(ntificationaddressbook, MyAddressBookExternalChangeCallback, self);
and when this callback is called then MyAddressBookExternalChangeCallback is called successfully
void MyAddressBookExternalChangeCallback (ABAddressBookRef ntificationaddressbook,CFDictionaryRef info,void *context)
{
NSLog(#"Changed Detected......");
}
I have the following questions:
How can i detect which contacts was changed, and which action (ADD,Update,Delete) was performed on that Contact. I need to get the recordID of that contact. Is it Possible ?
Unfortunately if thats not possible then how the apps like viber, tango, watsapp gets the change information ?
I gets the callback method called only when the app is in background if the app is terminated is there any way to get the changes notification.
Please help. Thanks in advance.
I found the solution to find what was changed in the addressbook. I am not sure if its a precise one, But some how that works.
Create a Callback Notification for Addressbook:-
ABAddressBookRef ntificationaddressbook = ABAddressBookCreate();
ABAddressBookRegisterExternalChangeCallback(ntificationaddressbook, MyAddressBookExternalChangeCallback, self);
Than Add the following code when notification Occurs:-
void MyAddressBookExternalChangeCallback (ABAddressBookRef ntificationaddressbook,CFDictionaryRef info,void *context)
{
NSTimeInterval timeStampone = [[NSDate date] timeIntervalSince1970];
NSNumber *timeStamponeobj= [NSNumber numberWithDouble: timeStampone];

CFArrayRef peopleRefs = ABAddressBookCopyArrayOfAllPeopleInSource(ntificationaddressbook, kABSourceTypeLocal);
NSMutableArray *changedrecords = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
ABAddressBookRevert(ntificationaddressbook);
CFIndex count = CFArrayGetCount(peopleRefs);
for (CFIndex i=0; i < count; i++) {
ABRecordRef ref = CFArrayGetValueAtIndex(peopleRefs, i);
NSDate* datemod = ( NSDate *)(ABRecordCopyValue(ref, kABPersonModificationDateProperty));
NSDate *lastopened = [userdefs valueForKey:#"LastOpenedDate"];
NSTimeInterval datemodifiedtime =[datemod timeIntervalSince1970];
NSNumber *modifieddatenumber= [NSNumber numberWithDouble: datemodifiedtime];
NSTimeInterval lastopeddate = [lastopened timeIntervalSince1970];
NSNumber *lastopenednumber= [NSNumber numberWithDouble: lastopeddate];
if ([modifieddatenumber intValue]>[lastopenednumber intValue]) {
ABRecordRef aSource = CFArrayGetValueAtIndex(peopleRefs,i);
int recordid = ABRecordGetRecordID(aSource);
[changedrecords addObject:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d",recordid]];

Yes thats true that you can not get specific notification on Phonebook changes. You will need to synch your data when callback notification fire.
void MyAddressBookExternalChangeCallback (ABAddressBookRef ntificationaddressbook,CFDictionaryRef info,void *context)
{
NSLog(#"Changed Detected......");
// synch data
}
The apps like viber, tango, watsapp also does the same thing but in Background thread.
If the app is terminated, then you will need to synch data when app gets started like in didFinishLaunchingWithOptions.
As far I know, you can't tell what are the difference - I bumped to this problem myself.
My solution was:
I had a local Core Data based address book, and every time I got this notification, I ran a background thread that synchronised the data, and notify in the end all the changes.
During the first time, I am dumping all the data in local database using sqlite, then on external change I am dumping new data from contacts database in dummy db in sqlite, then firing big long compare query based on what has changed. In our case, main focus was on phone numbers and name. Once you get change update that in your contacts db in sqlite.
I think even whatsapp is doing something similar. I checked the time taken to reflect the changes by whatsapp and our app almost are similar. Actually, my app is 2 secs faster than whatsapp in terms of reflecting changes.
Hope this will help.

How to compare last three data of MutableArray with String?

In my application i have got data in Mutable array like this,
MutableArray1:(
"22.298166 , 73.165809",
"22.300598 , 73.167183",
"22.298101 , 73.166188",
"22.298128 , 73.166194"
"22.298130 , 73.166194"
)
I want to compare a NSString with data "22.298130 , 73.166194" with last three data of MutableArray1.
Please suggest me how can i do that?
if([Array1 count]>3)
{
for (int i = [Array1 count] - 4; i < [Array1 count]; i++) {
if ([[Array1 objectAtIndex:i] isEqualToString:#"22.298130 , 73.166194"]) {
NSLog (#"True");
//Write your Code Here
}
}
}
NSArray *array = #[ #"22.298166 , 73.165809",
#"22.300598 , 73.167183",
#"22.298101 , 73.166188",
#"22.298128 , 73.166194",
#"22.298130 , 73.166194"];
If you just need to know, if it is inside the array:
NSString *searchString = #"22.298130 , 73.166194";
BOOL found = [[array subarrayWithRange:NSMakeRange([array count]-3, 3)] containsObject:searchString];
NSLog(#"%#", (found) ? #"YES" : #"NO");
if you need to know the index, you can do
[[array subarrayWithRange:NSMakeRange([array count]-3, 3)] enumerateObjectsUsingBlock:^(NSString *obj, NSUInteger idx, BOOL *stop) {
if ([obj isEqualToString:searchString]) {
*stop = YES; //avoid further loops, if we had a positive hit.
NSLog(#"%lu %lu", idx, [array count]-3+idx); //index in subarray and in original array
};
}];

How to sort an array with alphanumeric values?

I have an array which contains strings like frame_10#3x.png , frame_5#3x.png,frame_19#3x.png etc.
So I want to sort this array according to the number after the underscore i.e. the correct sequence will be frame_5#3x.png,frame_10#3x.png,frame_19#3x.png.
I tried to use the following method but no result:
NSInteger firstNumSort(id str1, id str2, void *context) {
int num1 = [str1 integerValue];
int num2 = [str2 integerValue];
if (num1 < num2)
return NSOrderedAscending;
else if (num1 > num2)
return NSOrderedDescending;
return NSOrderedSame;
}
Please suggest how to do this sorting for array.
NSArray *sry_img = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:#"frame_18#3x.png",#"frame_17#3x.png",#"frame_1222#3x.png",#"frame_10#3x.png",#"frame_3#3x.png",#"frame_4#3x.png",#"frame_4#3x.png",#"frame_1#3x.png",#"frame_4#3x.png",#"frame_4#3x.png",nil];
NSArray *sortedStrings = [sry_img sortedArrayUsingSelector:#selector(localizedStandardCompare:)];
NSLog(#"%#",sortedStrings);
Enjy .......
But
localizedStandardCompare:, added in 10.6, should be used whenever file names or other strings are presented in lists and tables where Finder-like sorting is appropriate. The exact behavior of this method may be tweaked in future releases, and will be different under different localizations, so clients should not depend on the exact sorting order of the strings.
you want to do something like:
NSArray *components1 = [str1 componentsSeparatedByString:#"_"];
NSArray *components2 = [str2 componentsSeparatedByString:#"_"];
NSString *number1String = [components1 objectAtIndex:([components1 count] - 1])];
NSString *number2String = [components2 objectAtIndex:([components2 count] - 1])];
return [number1String compare:number2String];
I am not sure if my solution is the best possible approach but it can solve your problem for the time being :) .
1) First I have written a function to get the numbers before # character in your string and then I implemented simple SELECTION SORT algo to sort the array using this functions.
- (NSString*)getSubStringForString:(NSString*)value {
// First we will cut the frame_ string
NSMutableString *trimmedString = [NSMutableString stringWithString:[value substringWithRange:NSMakeRange(6, [value length]-6)]];
// New String to contain the numbers
NSMutableString *newString = [[NSMutableString alloc] init];
for (int i = 0; i < [trimmedString length] ; i++) {
NSString *singleChar = [trimmedString substringWithRange:NSMakeRange(i, 1)];

This is the selection Implementation of the algo for sorting. The main logic is in the for loop. You can copy the code in viewDidLoad method to test.
NSMutableArray *array = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithObjects:#"frame_10#3x.png",#"frame_5#3x.png",
#"frame_3#3x.png", #"frame_19#3x.png",
nil];
NSLog(#"Values before Sort: %#", array);
int iPos;
int iMin;
for (iPos = 0; iPos < [array count]; iPos++)
{
iMin = iPos;
for (int i = iPos+1; i < [array count]; i++)
{
if ([[self getSubStringForString:[array objectAtIndex:i]] intValue] >
[[self getSubStringForString:[array objectAtIndex:iMin]] intValue]) {
iMin = i;
}
}
if ( iMin != iPos )
{
NSString *tempValue = [array objectAtIndex:iPos];
[array replaceObjectAtIndex:iPos withObject:[array objectAtIndex:iMin]];
[array replaceObjectAtIndex:iMin withObject:tempValue];
}
}
NSLog(#"Sorted Values: %#", array);
I hope that it can atleast keep you going. :)
You can try this-
NSString *str1 = [[[[str1 componentsSeparatedByString:#"frame_"] objectAtIndex:1] componentsSeparatedByString:#"#3x.png"] objectAtIndex:0];
int num1 = [str1 integerValue];

I can't trap FMDB empty resultset

I am having trouble trapping an empty result set from FMDB.
The code is below. I am getting NSLog's from the database opening and closing and NSLog "1" but none of the ones in the If statement!
If I have data in the database its fine, but I want to trap and edit result if the database is empty.
[self openDatabase];
NSNumberFormatter *nfcurrency = [[NSNumberFormatter alloc]init];
[nfcurrency setNumberStyle:NSNumberFormatterCurrencyStyle];
[nfcurrency setLocale:[NSLocale currentLocale]];
FMResultSet *result = [[self getDatabase]executeQuery:#"SELECT BFNeeded FROM tblBets ORDER BY pk DESC LIMIT 1,1;"];
//FMResultSet *result = [[self getDatabase]executeQuery:#"SELECT BFNeeded FROM tblBets ORDER BY pk DESC LIMIT 1,1;"];
NSLog(#"1");
if (result == NULL) {
NSLog(#"Last BFNeeded Result = nil");
} else {
while ([result next]) {
NSLog(#"HERE");
NSString *lastBFNeeded = [nfcurrency stringFromNumber:[NSNumber numberWithDouble:[result doubleForColumn:#"BFNeeded"]]];
NSLog(#"lastBFNeeded=%#",lastBFNeeded);
}
}
NSLog(#"ClosingDB");
[self closeDatabase];
Continuing after getting first reply:
I can't get hasAnotherRow to work as expected.
I have this code:
FMResultSet *result = [[self getDatabase]executeQuery:#"SELECT BFNeeded FROM tblBets ORDER BY pk DESC LIMIT 0,1;"];
if (result == nil) {
NSLog(#"Last BFNeeded Result = nil");
}
else {
NSLog(#"has results1: %#", [result hasAnotherRow] ? #"YES" : #"NO");
while ([result next]) {
NSLog(#"has results2: %#", [result hasAnotherRow] ? #"YES" : #"NO");
}
}
With a database that returns a result, I get result1 NO, result2 YES so I assume the hasAnotherRow must go inside the while ([result next]) loop.
However with an empty database, I get result1 NO and it doesn't even get to result2!
the "result" will never be nil for a query that produces 0 rows.
also, you shouldn't compare object pointers to NULL -- compare to nil. See this question: NULL vs nil in Objective-C
try this:
FMResultSet *result = [[self getDatabase]executeQuery:#"SELECT BFNeeded FROM tblBets ORDER BY pk DESC LIMIT 1,1;"];
NSLog ( #"has results: %#", [result hasAnotherRow] ? #"YES" : #"NO" );
NSInteger count;
query=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"select Count(*) from %# where name = 'brandon' ",dbName];
results = [database executeQuery:query ];
while([results next]) {
count = [results intForColumnIndex:0];
NSLog(#"count:%d",count);
}
will set count equal to zero if there is no entry

How to only add an object to my array when it fulfills certain requirements

I'm developing a Twitter app and I'm having problems with adding tweets to an NSArray. The problem is I get the tweets, and all the content ok, but the last query i got is just for control, so it doesn't contains the object "tweet" (which is the tweet content). I have tried stopping it if it detects the control query but no luck. This is the normal search query:
See dictionary: {
"created_at" = 1305363612;
"from_user" = IamDeShayDenise;
"from_user_id" = 123375840;
"from_user_id_str" = 123375840;
geo = "";
id = 69326131068813312;
"id_str" = 69326131068813312;
"iso_language_code" = en;
metadata = {
"result_type" = recent;
};
"profile_image_url" = "http://a3.twimg.com/profile_images/1336852311/110302-003005_normal.jpg";
source = "web";
"source_api_request_type" = 33;
text = "#LondonBlackk Yeah....and Yes I was With My Mommy and Nana!!! && Still Pulling All The Guys...LoL";
"to_user" = LondonBlackk;
"to_user_id" = 172117314;
"to_user_id_str" = 172117314;
}
In that one I get the text object ok and I can read it. The problem comes when I get this:
See dictionary: {
"source_api_request_type" = 33;
}
Or this:
See dictionary: {
"completed_in" = "0.027116";
"max_id" = 69324964586725376;
"max_id_str" = 69324964586725376;
"next_page" = "?page=2&max_id=69324964586725376&q=lol";
page = 1;
query = lol;
"refresh_url" = "?since_id=69324964586725376&q=lol";
"results_per_page" = 15;
"since_id" = 1;
"since_id_str" = 1;
"source_api_request_type" = 33;
warning = "since_id removed for pagination.";
}
And this is the code I use for filling the arrays:
tweets = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
usernames = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
for(NSDictionary *d in searchResults) {
NSLog(#"See dictionary: %#", d);
Tweet *author = [d objectForKey:#"from_user"];
Tweet *tweet = [d objectForKey:#"text"];
if ([d objectForKey:#"from_user"] == nil || [d objectForKey:#"text"] == nil){
NSLog(#"end");
}
[usernames addObject:author];
[tweets addObject:tweet];
[author release];
[tweet release];
}
I don't know what can be wrong :(
Thanks in advance :D
*UPDATE:*Got it working in this way
if ([d objectForKey:#"from_user"] == nil || [d objectForKey:#"text"] == nil){
NSLog(#"end");
} else {
[usernames addObject:author];
[tweets addObject:tweet];
}
instead of:
if ([d objectForKey:#"from_user"] == nil || [d objectForKey:#"text"] == nil){
NSLog(#"end");
}
[usernames addObject:author];
[tweets addObject:tweet];
Then the other problem was also solved. Thanks y'all!!
The way of solving it is this:
if ([d objectForKey:#"from_user"] == nil || [d objectForKey:#"text"] == nil){
NSLog(#"end");
} else {
[usernames addObject:author];
[tweets addObject:tweet];
}
instead of:
if ([d objectForKey:#"from_user"] == nil || [d objectForKey:#"text"] == nil){
NSLog(#"end");
}
[usernames addObject:author];
[tweets addObject:tweet];
