i have two array and i am inserting this two array another one array for displaying data on tableview cell but how to fetch name from first array and report from second array
for eg:
i am doing this
NSMutableArray *myArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithObjects:self.ListOfname,self.ListOfpeople,nil];
[self.list addObjectsFromArray:myArray];
In myArray i am passing two array first listofname and second listofpeople here i getting
proper but how to display two diffrent array value from one array variable on tableview cell
And my self.ListOfname array variable value is coming from this class Namecontrooler.m
And my self.ListOfpeople array variable value coming from this class Peoplecontroller.m
so my question is how to retrive this class value and print on tableview cell by one array
i am doing this on cell for row at indexpath this is right for display value
Namecontrooler*Name=(Namecontrooler*)[self.list objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
Peoplecontroller*people=(Peoplecontroller*)[self.list objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
here i not getting how to display both class value in on tableview cell please help me here how to do this
I think your self.list contains only two objects 1>ListOfName 2>ListOfPeople .So before accessing object at index of indexPath.row,First take out which object u want out of two and then with reference to indexPath.row take out object at particular object.

Suppose I had a class named Foo, with a datenum property named DateTime. If I had a cell array collection of Foo objects, how would I sort that according to each object's DateTime property?
I have seen references to overloading the sort method and working with arrays of objects, however I'm using a cell array due to dynamic sizing and those instructions aren't holding up. Anybody got some suggestions? Cheers
The simplest approach is to extract the time-values into a vector, sort that, and use the new order to sort the original array.
%# extract DateTime from the cell array fooCell
dateTime = cellfun(#(x)x.DateTime, fooCell);
[~,sortIdx] = sort(dateTime);
%# reorder fooCell
fooCell = fooCell(sortIdx);
I have an array of objects. Each object has property "date" and "title".
I want to populate sectioned UITableView with those items like:
Section 1 - 2012.06.12 (taken from object.date)
Cell 1.1: Title 1 (taken from object.name)
Cell 1.2: Title 2
Cell 1.3: Title 3
...
Section 2 - 2012.06.13
Cell 2.1: Title 1
Cell 2.2: Title 2
..
Section 3 ..
I can do that by manually creating 1..n NSMutableArrays for all date combinations and filling them with object.name values. But the problem is I do not know how many date combinations there are, so it should be done dynamically. Also, the date property can repeat in different objects
My object structure is:
Object
-NSDate - date
-NSString - title
UPD:
I was thinking if it is possible to create NSDictionary, where the key would be my date and the object would be NSArray, which contains all my items for the key-date. But I do not know how to do that dynamically.
I hope I explained my question clearly enough.
Thank you in advance!
You can create arrays based on date.You have array of objects, so iterate through this array of objects to get distinct dates, as follows:
for(int i =0;i<[objectsArr count];i++)
{
if(![newDateArr containsObject:[objectsArr objectAtIndex:i].date])
{
[newDateArr addObject:[objectsArr objectAtIndex:i].date];
}
NSMutableArray *newTitleArray = [newTitleDictionary objectForKey:#"[objectsArr objectAtIndex:i].date"];
if(newTitleArray != nil)
{
[newTitleArray addObject:[objectsArr objectAtIndex:i].title];
}
else
{
newTitleArray = [[[NSMutableArray alloc] init] autorelease];
[newTitleArray addObject:[objectsArr objectAtIndex:i].title];
}
[newTitleDictionary setValue:newTitleArray forKey:#"[objectsArr objectAtIndex:i].date"];
}
where newTitleDictionary and newDateArr are declare outside this method.Now you can use both is newTitleDictionary and newDateArr to populate tableview.
If I understand you correctly, you want to put an object into an array and then use that array to populate a table view?
Just add the date object each time to the NSMutableArray.
[myArray addObject:dateObject];
Then when it comes to populating the table view..
DateObject *newDateObj = [myArray objectAtIndex:index];
I hope this helps and I understood your question
EDIT To answer now I understand a bit more.
Step 1
Check through the existing array of dates and see if there are any that match maybe by iterating through it using a for loop. Search online for how to compare NSDate.
Step 2 If it doesn't match any then insert it into the array as an array with just that date on it's own so the array count will be one. If it does match then insert it into the array along with that one making the array count 2 or more.
Step 3 When it comes to declaring the section amount for the table just return the dateHolderArray count.
Step 4 When declaring the amount of rows in each section, return the array count for the array thats inside the dateHolderArray.
Step 5 Display the content when it comes to populating the cells with information. It becomes just a task of getting the dates from the arrays using the section ids and row ids.
This is how I would do it, there are probably many other methods. Any questions just ask
My aim is to produce an array, which I can use to add section headers for a UITableView. I think the easiest way to do this, is to produce a sections array.
I want to create section headers for dates, where I'll have several or no rows for each.
So in my populate data array function, I want to populate a display array. So record 1, look for the first date in my display array, create a new array item if it doesn't exist, if it does exist add 1 to the count.
So I should end up with something like this.
arrDisplay(0).description = 1/June/2001; arrDisplay(0).value = 3;
arrDisplay(1).description = 2/June/2001; arrDisplay(1).value = 0;
arrDisplay(2).description = 3/June/2001; arrDisplay(2).value = 1;
arrDisplay(3).description = 5/June/2001; arrDisplay(3).value = 6;
My question is how do I create and use such an array with values, where I can add new elements of add to the count of existing elements and search for existing elements ?
I think, if i understand you, an NSMutableDictionary would work. (as NR4TR said) but, i think the object would be the description and the key would be the count. you could check for the key and get the count in the same gesture. if the return value of objectForKey is nil, it doesn't exist.
NSMutableDictionary *tableDictionary = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
NSString *displayKey = #"1/June/2001";
NSNumber *displayCount = [tableDictionary objectForKey:displayKey];
if (displayCount != nil) {
NSNumber *incrementedCount = [[NSNumber alloc] initWithInteger:[displayCount integerValue] + 1];
[tableDictionary removeObjectForKey:displayKey];
[tableDictionary setValue:incrementedCount
forKey:displayKey];
[incrementedCount release];
}
else {
NSNumber *initialCount = [[NSNumber alloc] initWithInteger:1];
[tableDictionary setValue:initialCount
forKey:displayKey];
[initialCount release];
}
EDIT: Hopefully this isn't pedantic, but I think a couple pointers will help.
Dictionaries, Sets, and Arrays all hold objects for retrieval. The manner of holding and retrieval desired drives the decision. I think of it based on the question 'what is the nature of the information that I have when I need an object being held?'
NSDictionary and NSMutableDictionary
Hold n objects per key. (I think...I haven't had to test a limit, but i know you can get an NSSet back as a value.)
KEY is more important than INDEX. I don't think of dictionaries as ordered. they know something and you need to ask the correct question.
NSArray and NSMutableArray
hold n objects in order.
INDEX is most important bit of information. (you can ask for the index of an object but, even here, the index is the important part)
you will typically drive table views with an array because the ordered nature of the array fits.
NSSet, NSMutableSet, and NSCountedSet
A collection of objects without order.
You can change any of these into the other with something like [nsset setFromArray:myArray];
and all of these things can hold the other as objects. I think an array as your top level is the correct thinking, but beyond that, it becomes an issue of implementation
Try array of dictionaries. Each dictionary contains two objects - section title and array of section rows.
If you want to have a description AND a rowcount then you can either create a class with those two properties and generate an NSArray of objects with that class or instead of all that you can just use an NSDictionary to store key/value lookups.
I think NSCountedSet is closest to what you want. It doesn't have an intrinsic order, but you can get an array out of it by providing a sort order.
I am creating an app that parses huge xml file and gets the data into table view. The user can enter text into search bar to search the table view.
Now, i want to make the table view into a sectioned one that is grouped alphbetically. Sine the table view is huge and the search functionality is included i want to know how to make the table view into sections... Any tutorials or source will be of great help...
You must use a table view configured as an section index
See Table View Programming Guide for iOS
Populating an Indexed List
[...]An indexed list is a table view in the plain style that is specially configured through three UITableViewDataSource methods:
sectionIndexTitlesForTableView:
tableView:titleForHeaderInSection:
tableView:sectionForSectionIndexTitle:atIndex:
The first method returns an array of the strings to use as the index entries (in order), the second method maps these index strings to the titles of the table-view’s sections (they don’t have to be the same), and the third method returns the section index related to the entry the user tapped in the index.
The data that that you use to populate an indexed list should be organized to reflect this indexing model. Specifically, you need to build an array of arrays. Each inner array corresponds to a section in the table; section arrays are sorted (or collated) within the outer array according to the prevailing ordering scheme, which is often an alphabetical scheme (for example, A through Z). Additionally, the items in each section array are sorted. You could build and sort this array of arrays yourself, but fortunately the UILocalizedIndexedCollation class makes the tasks of building and sorting these data structures and providing data to the table view much easier. The class also collates items in the arrays according to the current localization.
You can get the sample project at https://github.com/shreeshgarg/sectiontable
First you have to sort the data using NSSortDescriptor, than create a dictionary which keys are first letter of data each key should have an array of records starting from same letter.
you can do it as
-(NSMutableDictionary *)fillingDictionary:(NSMutableArray *)ary
{
// This method has the real magic of this sample
// ary is the unsorted array
// keyArray should be global as you need to access it outside of this function
keyArray=[[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
[keyArray removeAllObjects];
NSMutableDictionary *dic=[[NSMutableDictionary alloc]init];
// First sort the array
[ary sortUsingSelector:#selector(compare:)];
// Get the first character of your string which will be your key
for(NSString *str in ary)
{
char charval=[str characterAtIndex:0];
NSString *charStr=[NSString stringWithUTF8String:&charval];
if(![keyArray containsObject:charStr])
{
NSMutableArray *charArray=[[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
[charArray addObject:str];
[keyArray addObject:charStr];
[dic setValue:charArray forKey:charStr];
}
else
{
NSMutableArray *prevArray=(NSMutableArray *)[dic valueForKey:charStr];
[prevArray addObject:str];
[dic setValue:prevArray forKey:charStr];
}
}
return dic;
}
Is it true that you can't have an NSMutableArray of NSIntegers? When I try to add the values to the array and then print them out they're huge numbers (when if I print out the tag to NSLog they're 0,1,2,3 etc.).
I'm trying to create an array of my UITabBarItem's tags so I can save the order and retrieve it later. Am I forced to do some conversion to an NSNumber to store into the array and then convert back on launch to get the integer value?
Thanks for the help.
That is correct, you need to "box" them inside of NSNumbers before adding them to an NSMutableArray, you can do [array addObject:[NSNumber numberWithInt:item.tag]];
