UITableView: use object from dictionary as title on detail view - iphone

Question

I have the following code to make a table from string turned into a dictionary:
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
testArray = [[NSArray alloc] init];
NSString *testString = #"Sam|26,Hannah|22,Adam|30,Carlie|32";
testArray = [testString componentsSeparatedByString:#","];
dict = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
for (NSString *s in testArray) {
testArray2 = [s componentsSeparatedByString:#"|"];
[dict setObject:[testArray2 objectAtIndex:1] forKey:[testArray2 objectAtIndex:0]];
}
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
}
// Configure the cell.
if (testArray.count >indexPath.row) {
cell.textLabel.text = [[dict allKeys] objectAtIndex:[indexPath row]];
cell.detailTextLabel.text = [dict objectForKey:cell.textLabel.text];
}
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator;
return cell;
}
What I would like is for the selected row title to be set as the title on my detail view.
I tried with:
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
self.detailController.title = [[dict allKeys] objectAtIndex:[indexPath row]];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:self.detailController animated:YES];
}
But I get an "EXC_BAD_ACCESS" error.
It works fine if I use #"1" as title, it's just something with my dictionary call that's wrong, I assume.

Answer 1

Make dict a retained dictionary instead of an autoreleased one.
I.E. declare it maybe like this:
dict = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] initWithCapacity: [testArray count]];
in your viewDidLoad method. Make sure to release it when viewDidUnload is called.
Also, make sure of the number of keys in your dict before calling:
self.detailController.title = [[dict allKeys] objectAtIndex:[indexPath row]];
So, I would do:
if(dict && ([[dict allKeys] count] > [indexPath row])
{
self.detailController.title =
[[dict allKeys] objectAtIndex:[indexPath row]];
} else {
self.detailController.title = #"Here's a problem";
}

Did you implement these UITableView delegate methods ? All these are needed. Also can you post more detailed StackTrace.
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView
numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
return [resultSet count];
}
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
return 1;
}
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView
heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
return 280.0;
}
