Can't Seem To Fix This Basic Save/Fetch Request - iphone

Question

Its been like 3 weeks now that I've been seeking help on this site for this simple save/fetch feature using Core Data but I can't get it to work. I keep getting different suggestions from people and change my code accordingly but can never get it working properly.
Its very discouraging that its taken me this long for this simple error yet I did 100x the work in only the week prior to hit. Its really a bummer when learning how to program.
Here is the scenario:
TableView blank by default until user inputs a name string via the + button in nav bar. String entered should add a cell to the view with the name as the title. It should be saved to memory and fetched upon relaunch of application.
The Problem:
I get the following error # line: cell.textLabel.text = [eventsArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
in method of: - (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath

Answer 1

cell.textLabel.text = [eventsArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
this is causing the problem because ....... you are assigning Routine class object as text to textLabel......
cell.textLabel.text = [(Routine *)[eventsArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] <thePropertyYouWishToAssign from Routine class>];
or
<**Updated Code***>
Routine *tempRoutine = (Routine *)[eventsArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.textLabel.text = tempRoutine.name;
<**Updated Code***>
in your case.
in alert View delegate .....
if(eventsArray && entered)
{
//******it will also insert object in coredata.... is it duplicating data?
Routine *tempRoutine = (Routine *)[NSEntityDescription insertNewObjectForEntityForName:#"Routine" inManagedObjectContext:managedObjectContext]; tempRoutine.name = entered;
[eventsArray addObject:tempRoutine];
[tempRoutine release];
[tableView reloadData];
[self addEvent];
}
