How do I load an array from values? - iphone

I'm sorry in advance for a newbie question. I've been working on this for days, and I'm having comprehension problems. I used sudzc to help connect to my web service. The example function only returns 1 result (the last one). How can I load all the results into an array so that I can find CSHR_NUM = 8? I'm not sure if there is a problem with:
- (void) GetCashiersHandler: (id) value
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
The sudzc logging returns (there are hundreds of entries, I cut it down):
<TC diffgr:id="TC1" msdata:rowOrder="0">
<CSHR_POS_NAME>JACKSON<CSHR_POS_NAME />
<CSHR_NUM>8</CSHR_NUM>
</TC>
<TC diffgr:id="TC2" msdata:rowOrder="1">
<CSHR_POS_NAME>ALISON</CSHR_POS_NAME>
<CSHR_NUM>464</CSHR_NUM>
</TC>
I use the example method of calling:
[service GetCashiers:self action:#selector(GetCashiersHandler];
// Handle the response from GetCashiers to get login in name.
- (void) GetCashiersHandler: (id) value
{
// Do something with the CXMLNode* result
CXMLNode *result = (CXMLNode*)value;
NSLog(#"I returned the value: %#", result);
}
NSLog Results:
I returned the value: {
GetCashiersResult = {
diffgram = {
NewDataSet = {
TC = {
"CSHR_NUM" = 464;
"CSHR_POS_NAME" = ALLISON;
};
};
};
schema = {
element = {
complexType = {
choice = {
element = {
complexType = {
sequence = {
element = 0;
};
};
};
};
};
};
};
};
}

Multidimensional array makes Xcode6 crash

I have an application which retrieves a JSON file. Here you are a piece of my code:
Array definition
var photos: NSArray = []
How I populate the array:
ezJson().createRequest("http://myapiurl/load", type: "GET", params: nil, completion: {(returnedObject : AnyObject?, error : NSError?)in
if returnedObject{
self.photos = returnedObject as NSArray
self.tableView.reloadData()
}
})
println(self.photos)
{
created = {
date = "2014-06-13 18:35:46";
timezone = "Europe/Madrid";
"timezone_type" = 3;
};
description = description1;
id = 3;
name = 539b286277617;
},
{
created = {
date = "2014-06-13 18:38:38";
timezone = "Europe/Madrid";
"timezone_type" = 3;
};
description = description2;
id = 4;
name = 539b290ed8577;
}
println(self.photos[0])
{
created = {
date = "2014-06-13 18:35:46";
timezone = "Europe/Madrid";
"timezone_type" = 3;
};
description = description1;
id = 3;
name = 539b286277617;
}
The problem is, I don't know how to get a particular item. I've tried:
println(self.photos[0]) // it works
println(self.photos[0]["name"] // Xcode crash "Command /Applications/Xcode6-Beta.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/swift failed with exit code 254"
println(self.photos[0].name) // returns nil
How can I access to the name parameter ?
It seems that you are casting a String to NSArray. This won't give you the effect that you want.
First of all, if you want to acces your elements by name, you want an NSDictionary.
Then it propably still won't work, as there is no implicit conversion between the types so you will have to either parse it yourself or use some JSON library.
Last : your JSON is incorrect.

UITableView+YouTubeAPI parsing JSON response for statistics

I am getting the JSON response from youtube API v3 for https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/channels?part=statistics&id
and receiving JSON response as
{
etag = "\"rFqCJSkEICLP3Hq6a4AADI7kf48/2zirKmd0WgUqY0RzlyD4hlACeWM\"";
items = (
{
etag = "\"rFqCJSkEICLP3Hq6a4AADI7kf48/u4TmQ5XfIQQg6y6u4Od2yULCVlc\"";

viewCount = 0;
};
},

statistics = {
commentCount = 6460;
subscriberCount = 494656;

viewCount = 713607227;
};
}
}
when I am trying to display the
cell.viewsChannel.text=[[_statistics valueForKeyPath:#"statistics.videoCount"] objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
the value doesn't display on table view.
I tried to format the output as unsigned long ,int but the correct values don't show.
Please help
Thanks in advance
I think you need to add item to valueForKeyPath
cell.viewsChannel.text=[[_statistics valueForKeyPath:#"item.statistics.videoCount"] objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];

How to access a certain value in an NSArray?

I have an array called someArray. I would like to access the name value of the NSArray. I'm trying to access it using the following, but with out any luck. How do I do it properly?
cell.textLabel.text = [[someArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] objectForKey:#"name"];
some array {
haserror = 0;
headers = {
code = 0;
haserror = 0;
nodeid = "fe1.aaaaaa.2.undefined";
time = 16;
};
results = (
{
coords = (
"44.916667",
"8.616667"
);
id = 2;
key = alessandria;
name = Alessandria;
state = Piemonte;
zip = 1512;
},
{
coords = (
"43.616944",
"13.516667"
);
id = 3;
key = ancona;
name = Ancona;
state = Marche;
zip = 601;
},
}
As far as i see from you data model, the key name is a node under the key results. You can use this data model as a dictionary map, the code snippet below must give you what you need..
NSDictionary *myObject = [[someArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] objectForKey:#"results"];
cell.textLabel.text = [myObject objectForKey:"name"];
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you have some lopps or some other mechanisms for receiving data, there may be more efficent ways for your sıolution, so please give some more additional info about what you are exactly tryin to do
As others have noted, someArray is a dictionary while results is a key pointing to an array inside of your dictionary. If you want an array of all of the name fields in your results array, you could use valueForKeyPath: on the someArray variable, like this:
NSArray *names = [someArray valueForKeyPath:#"results.name"];
The names variable should now contain "Alessandria", and "Ancona" from the data set your show in your example code.

Weird value from NSDictionary

I got a NSDictionary that when I do a [currentOrder debugDescription] call on it the layout is below, when I then do a:
[currentOrder valueForKey: #"itemOrder"]
It return it funny with the brackets as:
(
"4 X ESPRESSO"
)
where it should only be (without brackets):
4 X EXPRESSO
Any idea why?
Content of currentOrder:
currentOrder: <__NSArrayM 0x68426c0>(
{
extra1Select = 0;
extra2Select = 0;
extra3Select = 0;
itemCost = 58;
itemOrder = "4 X ESPRESSO";
itemOrderDescription = "Cookie: YES, Sugar: YES";
itemQuantity = 4;
itemRestaurant = VidaECaffe;
plistItem = {
cost = "11.5";
description = "R11.50";
extra1 = {
desc = Cookie;
details = (
{
cost = "3.00";
option1 = YES;
},
{
cost = "0.00";
option2 = NO;
}
);
};
extra2 = {
desc = Sugar;
details = (
{
cost = "0.00";
option1 = YES;
},
{
cost = "0.00";
option2 = NO;
}
);
};
itemRestaurant = VidaECaffe;
level = 1;
title = ESPRESSO;
};
}
)
The problem is that currentOrder is not a dictionary but a NSArray containing a dictionary. The failure you are making next is that you use valueForKey: which is part of the key value coding family and not the designated access method for dictionaries (which is objectForKey:), and the array returns you a filtered array as a result...
When you print out the value of an array or dictionary in the debugger, the debugger includes the extra brackets, braces, and whatnot so you can see the layout of the structure you are asking about.
If the debugger shows the contents of an array something like
(
"Foobar"
)
it's telling you that the array has one element, a string with the value Foobar.
Put entirely another way: Read up on what the debugger does when it prints out values. Lots of resources here and on the web for this. For example: Debugging with GDB: Introduction to Commands, Print and Print-Object

Obj-C / iPhone: NSArray question

I have an array that looks like this when printed via NSLog:
{
response = "Valid";
updates = (
{
string = "test";
integer = 3493;
},
{
string = "test2";
integer = 55454;
}
);
start-index = 0;
My question is how I can loop through through the "updates" array so that I may print the values for each "string" respectively.
Should be an easy "for" loop or something?
Dave
Assuming you NSLogged data has a type of NSDictionary with name data.
NSArray *updates = [data objectForKey:#"updates"];
for (NSDictionary *update in updates) {
NSLog(#"Update: %# - %#", [update objectForKey:#"string"], [update objectForKey:#"integer"]);
}
