How to extract the value from NSMutableArray? - iphone

-(void) readRestaurantFromXml {
SGAAppDelegate *app = (SGAAppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
NSString *myRequestString = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#getXml.aspx",app.SERVER_URL];
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString: myRequestString];
CXMLDocument *rssParser = [[[CXMLDocument alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:url options:0 error:nil] autorelease];
resultNodes = [rssParser nodesForXPath:#"//item" error:nil];
listOfItems = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
for (CXMLElement *resultElement in resultNodes) {
NSString *theatre_id = [[resultElement childAtIndex:0] stringValue];
NSString *theatre_name = [[resultElement childAtIndex:1] stringValue];
NSString *restaurant_id = [[resultElement childAtIndex:2] stringValue];
NSString *restaurant_name = [[resultElement childAtIndex:3] stringValue];
NSString *restaurant_desc = [[resultElement childAtIndex:4] stringValue];
NSString *deal_avail = [[resultElement childAtIndex:5] stringValue];
NSString *deal_details = [[resultElement childAtIndex:6] stringValue];
Restaurant *workVal = [[Restaurant alloc] initWithRestTitle:restaurant_name restDesc:restaurant_desc theatreId:theatre_id theatreName:theatre_name restId:restaurant_id restDeals:deal_avail restDealDesc:deal_details];
[listOfItems addObject:workVal];
[workVal release];
}
}
-(void)myTask{
NSLog(#"%d",[listOfItems count]);
}
The NSMutableArray listofItems has 3 values.So how can i extract the array value in another method?
Help me

Fast enumeration is the preferred method.
for (id object in listOfItems) {
//Do something...
}
If you want a single object at an index:
id object = [listOfItems objectAtIndex:someIndex];
If you just want an object (expecting the array to have a single object:
id object = [listOfItems lastObject];

for(int i=0; i < [listOfItems count]; ++i) {
Restaurant* r = [listofItems objectAtIndex:i];
}

I don't understand wht's wrong here. I have searched through numerous tutorials and resources don't seem to get what's wrong here.
EDIT:
NSLog(#"%#", fetchedResults.name); // dumps null
You forgot to allocate your results array NSMutableArray *results = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init] this should help.
NSDictionary* json = [NSJSONSerialization
JSONObjectWithData:responseData
options:kNilOptions
error:&error];
NSArray* users = [json objectForKey:#"Users"];

NSLog(#"%#", fetchedResults.name);
[results addObject:fetchedResults];
}
NSLog(#"%#", (NSString *)[[element objectForKey:#"User"] objectForKey:#"name"]);

NSLog(#"%d", [results count]); // returns 0

Parsing RSS feed - retrieve images, urls?

Hello I am parsing a RSS And Atom feeds, and my question is how can I check for < img > and < url > tags in < description >?
There must be some sort of check. Thanks.
Here is how I parse them:
- (NSArray *)parseFeed:(NSURL *)feedURL{
NSError *error;
NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:feedURL];
GDataXMLDocument *xmlParse = [[GDataXMLDocument alloc] initWithData:data error:&error];
GDataXMLElement *rootElement = xmlParse.rootElement;
NSArray *array = [[NSArray alloc] init];
if ([rootElement.name compare:#"rss"] == NSOrderedSame) {
array = [self parseRSSFeed:rootElement];
return array;
} else if ([rootElement.name compare:#"feed"] == NSOrderedSame) {
array = [self parseAtomFeed:rootElement];
return array;
} else {
NSLog(#"Unsupported root element: %#", rootElement.name);
return nil;
}
}
-(NSArray *)parseRSSFeed:(GDataXMLElement *) rootElement
{
NSMutableArray *entries = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
NSArray *channels = [rootElement elementsForName:#"channel"];
for (GDataXMLElement *channel in channels) {
NSArray *items = [channel elementsForName:#"item"];
for (GDataXMLElement *item in items) {
FeedItem *itemF = [[FeedItem alloc] init];
itemF.title = [item valueForChild:#"title"];
itemF.description = [item valueForChild:#"description"];
NSLog(#"IMAGE - %#", [item valueForChild:#"img"]);
itemF.dateString = [item valueForChild:#"pubDate"];
itemF.link = [NSURL URLWithString:[item valueForChild:#"link"]];
itemF.dateString = [item valueForChild:#"updated"];
itemF.author = [item valueForChild:#"author"];
[entries addObject:itemF];
NSLog(#"RSS - %#", itemF.title);
}
}
NSArray *RSSArray = [entries copy];
return RSSArray;
}
-(NSArray *)parseAtomFeed:(GDataXMLElement *) rootElement
{
NSMutableArray *entries = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
NSArray *entry = [rootElement elementsForName:#"entry"];
for (GDataXMLElement *entryElement in entry) {
// NSArray *items = [channel elementsForName:#"item"];
//for (GDataXMLElement *item in items) {
FeedItem *itemF = [[FeedItem alloc] init];
itemF.title = [entryElement valueForChild:#"title"];
itemF.description = [entryElement valueForChild:#"summary"];
NSArray *links = [entryElement elementsForName:#"link"];
for (GDataXMLElement *link in links) {
itemF.link = [NSURL URLWithString:[[link attributeForName:#"href"] stringValue]];
}
itemF.dateString = [entryElement valueForChild:#"updated"];
NSArray *authors = [entryElement elementsForName:#"author"];
for (GDataXMLElement *authorElement in authors) {
itemF.author = [authorElement valueForChild:#"name"];
}
[entries addObject:itemF];
NSLog(#"Atom - %#", itemF.title);
}
NSArray *atomArray = [entries copy];
return atomArray;
}
I am parsing them using GDataXMLParser, and my own parser class.
Do it like this:
NSString *Str=[item valueForChild:#"description"];
NSArray *tmp=[Str componentsSeparatedByString:#"<Img>"];
if([tmp count]>1){
NSString *urlstr=[[tmp objectatindex:1] stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:#" </Img>" withString:#""];
}
Now urlstr contains your image url.
Enjoy
I thought that
itemF.description = [item valueForChild:#"description"];
is NSString. So you can use componentsSeparatedByString with "your tag".
It will return array. In array at postion 1 you will get your img url.
This url has closing bracket "your closing tag".
Replace "your closing tag" with space. You will get image url.
Hope, this will help you.

Parsing data from json to iphone application

I am parsing data from iphone app to json from server but it does not get data from the json
i am using following code
To get Data from json
here is the link of my json data
http://celeritas-solutions.com/emrapp/surveyDescription.php?user_id=ali40
NSString*user=#"ali40";
NSString *url=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"http://celeritas-solutions.com/emrapp/surveyDescription.php?user_id=%#",user];
NSLog(url);
NSArray *tempArray =[[DataManager staticVersion] startParsing:url];
for (int i = 0; i<[tempArray count]; i++) {
id *item = [tempArray objectAtIndex:i];
NSDictionary *dict = (NSDictionary *) item;
ObjectData *theObject =[[ObjectData alloc] init];
[theObject setUser_id:[dict objectForKey:#"user_id"]];
[theObject setSurvey_id:[dict objectForKey:#"survey_id"]];
[theObject setSurvey_title:[dict objectForKey:#"survey_Title"]];
[theObject setSurvey_Description:[dict objectForKey:#"survey_Description"]];
[theObject setDate_Created:[dict objectForKey:#"date_Created"]];
[surveyList addObject:theObject];
[theObject release];
theObject=nil;
int count =[surveyList count];
NSLog(#"Total is %d",count);
DataManager Class
DataManager *theInstance;
+ (id)staticVersion{
if(!theInstance){
theInstance = [[DataManager alloc] init];
}
return theInstance;
}
- (NSMutableArray *) startParsing:(NSString *)theURLString {
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",theURLString]];
NSString *fileContent= [NSString stringWithContentsOfURL:url];
SBJSON *parser = [[SBJSON alloc] init];
NSDictionary *data = (NSDictionary *) [parser objectWithString:fileContent error:nil];
NSArray *items = (NSArray *) data ;
return items;
int count=[items count];
NSLog(#"This is testing %d",count);
}
You json is not correct.
It should be like this:
{"ali40":[{"user_id":"ali40","survey_id":"1","survey_title":"Resturant Survey","survey_description":"Survey To get feedback from clients about food quality and any suggestion to improve the service","date_created":"2012-07-24 22:39:14","color":"[UIColor GrayColor]"},{"user_id":"ali40","survey_id":"2","survey_title":"Travel Servey","survey_description":"Toursim Survey","date_created":"2012-07-25 00:43:42","color":"[UIColor greyColor]"}]}
This code returns not null result
NSString*user=#"ali40";
NSString *url=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"http://celeritas-solutions.com/emrapp/surveyDescription.php?user_id=%#",user];
NSLog(#"%#",url);
NSData* data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:
[NSURL URLWithString: url]];
__autoreleasing NSError* error = nil;
id result = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:data options:kNilOptions error:&error];
if (error != nil) NSLog(#"%#",error);
NSLog(#"%#",result);
Output:
2012-07-26 10:26:22.226 test[2511:f803] (
{
color = "[UIColor GrayColor]";
"date_created" = "2012-07-24 22:39:14";
"survey_description" = "Survey To get feedback from clients about food quality and any suggestion to improve the service";
"survey_id" = 1;
"survey_title" = "Resturant Survey";
"user_id" = ali40;
},
{
color = "[UIColor greyColor]";
"date_created" = "2012-07-25 00:43:42";
"survey_description" = "Toursim Survey";
"survey_id" = 2;
"survey_title" = "Travel Servey";
"user_id" = ali40;
}
)
If you json returns many records you need modify your json file
{"users":[{"user_id":"ali40","survey_id":"1","survey_title":"Resturant Survey","survey_description":"Survey To get feedback from clients about food quality and any suggestion to improve the service","date_created":"2012-07-24 22:39:14","color":"[UIColor GrayColor]"},{"user_id":"ali40","survey_id":"2","survey_title":"Travel Servey","survey_description":"Toursim Survey","date_created":"2012-07-25 00:43:42","color":"[UIColor greyColor]"}]}
Then you get the array of records:
NSArray *allItems = [result objectForKey:#"users"];
for (int i=0; i<allItems.count; ++i) {
NSDictionary *item = [allItems objectAtIndex:i]; //here you get every user
NSString *user_id=[item objectForKey:#"user_id"];
NSLog(#"user_id %#",user_id);
}

displaying JSON data in Tableview in iphone

below is the JSON i want to parse it in such a way that for e.g date 1st should all events in that section of table and 2nd date should show all related events in another section
I am parsing using below code but i am not getting required sequence
SBJsonParser *parser= [[SBJsonParser alloc] init];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://www.krsconnect.no/community/api.html?method=bareListEventsByCategory&appid=620&category-selected=350&counties-selected=Vest-Agder,Aust-Agder"]];
NSData *response = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:nil error:nil];
NSString *json_string = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:response encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSDictionary *object = [parser objectWithString:json_string error:nil];
NSArray *results = [parser objectWithString:json_string error:nil];
appDelegate.books1 = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
appDelegate.dates =[[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
for (int j=0;j<10; j++) {
NSDictionary *dictOne = [results objectAtIndex:j];
NSLog(#"%# - %#", [dictOne objectForKey:#"date"]);
Date *aDate = [[Date alloc] initWithDictionary:[results objectAtIndex:j]];
[appDelegate.dates addObject:aDate];
[aDate release];
}
for (int i=0; i<10; i++) {
NSDictionary *dictOne = [results objectAtIndex:i];
NSArray *activitiesArray = [dictOne objectForKey:#"events"];
NSDictionary *dictTwo = [activitiesArray objectAtIndex:i];
NSDictionary *eventDict=[dictTwo objectForKey:#"event"];
// NSLog(#"%# - %#", [dictOne objectForKey:#"date"]);
// NSLog(#"%# - %#", [dictTwo objectForKey:#"affectedDate"]);
// NSLog(#"%# - %#", [eventDict objectForKey:#"location"]);
NSInteger*date=[dictOne objectForKey:#"date"];
NSInteger*affectedDate=[dictTwo objectForKey:#"affectedDate"];
NSString*appId =[eventDict objectForKey:#"appId"];
NSString*eventId=[eventDict objectForKey:#"eventId"];
NSString*location=[eventDict objectForKey:#"location"];
NSString*municipality=[eventDict objectForKey:#"municipality"];
NSString*title=[eventDict objectForKey:#"title"];
Book1 *aBook=[[Book1 alloc] initWithDate:date affectedDate:affectedDate location:location municipality:municipality title:title];
[appDelegate.books1 addObject:aBook];
int count=[appDelegate.books1 count];
}
the json format is given below
http://www.krsconnect.no/community/api.html?method=bareListEventsByCategory&appid=620&category-selected=350&counties-selected=Vest-Agder,Aust-Agder
You need to aggregate your data in some different way.
Here is how I'd do that:
...
// why do you parse your json string two times?
//NSDictionary *object = [parser objectWithString:json_string error:nil];
NSArray *results = [parser objectWithString:json_string error:nil];
// You have memory leak here. I assume that books1 and dates are both properties with "retain" flag set.
//appDelegate.books1 = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
//appDelegate.dates =[[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
NSMutableArray *data = [NSMutableArray array]
self.data = data;
// check that what we've parsed is NSArray
if (results && [results isKindOfClass:[NSArray class]]) {
for (NSDictionary *sectionDict in results) {
if ([sectionDict isKindOfClass:[NSDictionary class]]) {
NSString *sectionTitle = [[sectionDict objectForKey:#"date"] description];
NSArray *events = [sectionDict objectForKey:#"events"];
if (date && events && [events isKindOfClass:[NSArray class]]) {
NSMutableArray *rows = [NSMutableArray arrayWithCapacity:[events count]];
for (NSDictionary *eventDict in events) {
if ([eventDict isKindOfClass:[NSDictionary class]]) {
[rows addObject:#"testRow"];
}
}
[data addObject:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys: sectionTitle, #"section", rows, #"rows", nil]];
}
}
}
}
- (NSInteger) numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tblView {
return [data count];
}
- (NSInteger) tableView:(UITableView *)tblView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {
return [[[data objectAtIndex:section] objectForKey:#"rows"] count];
}
- (NSString *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView titleForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section {
return [[data objectAtIndex:section] objectForKey:#"section"];
}
- (UITableViewCell *) tableView:(UITableView *)tblView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSString *cellID = #"DefaultCell";
UITableViewCell *cell = (UITableViewCell *)[tblView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellID];
if ( cell == nil ) {
cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:cellID] autorelease];
}
cell.textLabel.text = [[[data objectAtIndex:indexPath.section] objectForKey:#"rows"] objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
return cell;
}

Parsing JSON showing nil value

I am parsing the data it gets all the data in dictionary but when i check value using NSLog it showa nil value
SBJsonParser *parser = [[SBJsonParser alloc] init];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://www.krsconnect.no/community/api.html?method=bareListEventsByCategory&appid=620&category-selected=350&counties-selected=Vest-Agder,Aust-Agder"]];
NSData *response = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:nil error:nil];
NSString *json_string = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:response encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSDictionary *object = [parser objectWithString:json_string error:nil];
//appDelegate.books = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity:0];
appDelegate.books1 = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
NSArray *results = [parser objectWithString:json_string error:nil];
for (int i=0; i<[results count]; i++) {
Book1 *aBook = [[Book1 alloc] initWithDictionary:[results objectAtIndex:i]];
[appDelegate.books1 addObject:aBook];
Book1 *mybook=[appDelegate.books1 objectAtIndex:i];
NSString*test=mybook.location;
NSLog(test);
}
Dicionary parsing
- (id)initWithDictionary:(NSDictionary*) dict {
self.date = [dict valueForKey:#"date"];
self.location = [dict valueForKey:#"location"];
self.municipality = [dict valueForKey:#"municipality"];
self.title = [dict valueForKey:#"title"];
return self;
}
I'm guessing that your dictionary doesn't contain a "location", and that's consistent with what I see coming back from that web site. It sends back an array of dictionaries which contain arrays of dictionaries. You need to extract one of those inner dictionaries to find a "location".
[
{
"date":1320883200000,
"events":[
{
"affectedDate":1320883200000,
"event":{
"appId":620,
"eventId":20672,
"location":"Samsen Kulturhus",
"municipality":"Kristiansand",
"title":"AKKS kurs høsten 2011"
}
},
....
Try:
- (id)initWithDictionary:(NSDictionary*) dict {
self = [super init];
if(self) {
self.date = [dict valueForKey:#"date"];
self.location = [dict valueForKey:#"location"];
self.municipality = [dict valueForKey:#"municipality"];
self.title = [dict valueForKey:#"title"];
}
return self;
}
