XML attribute pasrsing problem - iphone

Question

i have to parse an xml and the link of that xml is
http://qasimshah.sitesled.com/schedule.xml
and may to parse is:
-(IBAction)autoLoginBtn{
NSString *url=[NSString stringWithFormat: #"http://qasimshah.sitesled.com/schedule.xml"];
[self parseXMLFileAtURL:url];
}
- (void)parseXMLFileAtURL:(NSString *)URL
{
xmlDataArray1 = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
//you must then convert the path to a proper NSURL or it won't work
NSURL *xmlURL = [NSURL URLWithString:URL];
// here, for some reason you have to use NSClassFromString when trying to alloc NSXMLParser, otherwise you will get an object not found error
// this may be necessary only for the toolchain
NSXMLParser *rssParser = [[NSXMLParser alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:xmlURL];
// Set self as the delegate of the parser so that it will receive the parser delegate methods callbacks.
[rssParser setDelegate:self];
// Depending on the XML document you're parsing, you may want to enable these features of NSXMLParser.
[rssParser setShouldProcessNamespaces:NO];
[rssParser setShouldReportNamespacePrefixes:NO];
[rssParser setShouldResolveExternalEntities:NO];
[rssParser parse];
}
-(void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser parseErrorOccurred:(NSError *)parseError{
NSLog(#"Error on XML Parse: %#", [parseError localizedDescription] );
}
- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didStartElement:(NSString *)elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName attributes:(NSDictionary *)attributeDict{
//NSLog(#"found this element: %#", elementName);
currentElement = [elementName copy];
if ([elementName isEqualToString:#"Sports"]) {
// clear out our story item caches...
item = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
currentTitle = [[NSMutableString alloc] init];
}
}
- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didEndElement:(NSString *)elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName{
if ([elementName isEqualToString:#"Sport"]) {
[item setObject:currentTitle forKey:#"id"];
[xmlDataArray1 addObject:[item copy]];
NSLog(#"id: %#", currentTitle);
}
}
but when i try to get 'id' or name parser detect it but do not return me its value.
so how can i get its value?

Answer 1

You should get the attribute value in "attributeDict"
- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didStartElement:(NSString *)elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName attributes:(NSDictionary *)attributeDict{
you are only referring element ...

Answer 2

Try this. You can get all the values like this.
- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didStartElement:(NSString *)elementName
namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI
qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName
attributes:(NSDictionary *)attributeDict
{
if([elementName isEqualToString:#"Sport"])
{
NSString *s = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",elementName];
NSLog(#"%#",s);
NSString *s1 =[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",[attributeDict valueForKey:#"id"]];
NSLog(#"%#",s1);
NSString *s2 =[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",[attributeDict valueForKey:#"name"]];
NSLog(#"%#",s2);
NSString *s3 =[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",[attributeDict valueForKey:#"abbr"]];
NSLog(#"%#",s3);
}
}

Answer 3

In didStartElement: you're checking for "Sports" but in didEndElement: you're checking for "Sport"...
