parse XML to NSArray of NSDictionary - error - why? - nsarray

I have a problem parsing a XML to NSArray of NSDictionary. I don't know why, but instead of the array gets 2 objects (in this case), it take 2 objects with equal data... Why?
Here's the code:
#interface RLparseXMLToArrayOfDictionarys : NSObject <NSXMLParserDelegate> {
NSMutableArray *arrayWithResult;
NSMutableDictionary *tempDict;
NSMutableString *currentString;
NSString *groupKey;
}
#property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *groupKey;
#property (nonatomic, retain) NSMutableArray *arrayWithResult;
#property (nonatomic, retain) NSMutableDictionary *tempDict;
-(NSArray *)parseXMLWithStringToArray:(NSString *)stringWithXML withGroupKey:(NSString *)groupKeyToIgnore;
#end
#implementation RLparseXMLToArrayOfDictionarys
#synthesize groupKey;
#synthesize arrayWithResult;
#synthesize tempDict;
- (id)init
{
self = [super init];
if (self) {
}
return self;
}
-(NSArray *)parseXMLWithStringToArray:(NSString *)stringWithXML withGroupKey:(NSString *)groupKeyToIgnore{
NSData *currentStringData = [stringWithXML dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSXMLParser *parser = [[NSXMLParser alloc] initWithData:currentStringData];
[parser setDelegate:self];
// Set Parser Options
[parser setShouldProcessNamespaces:NO];
[parser setShouldReportNamespacePrefixes:NO];
[parser setShouldResolveExternalEntities:NO];
//key to ignore
self.groupKey = groupKeyToIgnore;
if (!arrayWithResult) {
arrayWithResult = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
}
if (!tempDict) {
tempDict = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
}
[parser parse];
NSLog(#"return: %#", arrayWithResult);
return arrayWithResult;
}
#pragma mark -
#pragma mark XML methods
- (void)parserDidStartDocument:(NSXMLParser *)parser
{
}
- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didStartElement:(NSString *)elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName attributes:(NSDictionary *)attributeDict
{
}
- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser foundCharacters:(NSString *)string
{
if(!currentString){
currentString = [[NSMutableString alloc] init];
}
[currentString appendString:string];
}
- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didEndElement:(NSString *)elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName
{
NSString *currentStringNoWhiteSpace = [currentString stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet]];
if ([elementName isEqualToString:groupKey]){
[arrayWithResult addObject:tempDict];
// [tempDict removeObjectsForKeys:[tempDict allKeys]];
}
else if (currentStringNoWhiteSpace != nil)
[tempDict setValue:currentStringNoWhiteSpace forKey:elementName];
currentStringNoWhiteSpace = nil;
currentString = nil;
}
- (void)parserDidEndDocument:(NSXMLParser *)parser {
}
#end

Done!
Replace [tempDict removeObjectsForKeys:[tempDict allKeys]];
with tempDict = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];

Cocos2d: Controller calling method of a CCNode

My GameController.m calls a method of CCNode class. It seems to call it as I can see NSLog but the method is not either operate or not result in view. In other words, screen does not change when calling the method from GameController. (method operates itself in its own class)
How should I change my code to fix it?
Summary:
GameController -> calls -> GoalPost.GoalKeeper.method.
Code:
GameController.m, GoalPost.m and GoalKeeper.m
GameController.m
#import "GameController.h"
#import "cocos2d-ui.h"
#import "GoalPost.h"
#import "Ball.h"
#import "Field.h"
#interface GameController()
#property Field* field;
//#property Ball* ball;
#property GoalPost* post;
#end
#implementation GameController
- (instancetype)init
{
self = [super init];
if (self) {
self.field = [Field node];
// self.ball = [Ball node];
self.post = [GoalPost node];
}
return self;
}
//control computer.
-(void)kickerTurn{
NSLog(#"Player kick");
//random location generation
//call keeper.
int randomKeeperX = arc4random() % (int)self.post.contentSize.width;
int randomKeeperY = arc4random() % (int)self.post.contentSize.height;
CGPoint keeperLoc = ccp(randomKeeperX, randomKeeperY);
[self.post.keeper keeperLocation:keeperLoc];
}
#end
GoalPost.h
#import "GoalKeeper.h"
#interface GoalPost : CCNodeColor { }
#property GoalKeeper* keeper;
#end
GoalPost.m
#import "GoalPost.h"
#import "GoalKeeper.h"
#interface GoalPost ()
#property NSArray* post;
#end
#implementation GoalPost
- (instancetype)init
{
self = [super initWithColor:[CCColor lightGrayColor]];
if (self) {
....
[self addChild:aPost];
}
//Call goal keeper and add.
//for touch to run goal keeper.
[self setUserInteractionEnabled:true];
self.keeper = [GoalKeeper node];
//Put it in front of goal post.
self.keeper.position = ccp(self.contentSize.width/2, 0);
[self addChild:self.keeper];
}
return self;
}
-(void)touchBegan:(UITouch *)touch withEvent:(UIEvent *)event{
CGPoint touchLoc = [touch locationInNode:self];
NSLog(#"Goal touched: %f %f", touchLoc.x, touchLoc.y);
//Goal keeper call
[self.keeper keeperLocation:touchLoc];
}
#end
Finally, GoalKeeper.m
.h
#import "cocos2d.h"
#interface GoalKeeper : CCNodeColor { }
-(void)keeperLocation:(CGPoint)location;
#end
.m
#import "GoalKeeper.h"
#interface GoalKeeper()
#property CGPoint touchLoc;
#end
#implementation GoalKeeper
- (instancetype)init
{
self = [super initWithColor:[CCColor blueColor]];
if (self) {
[self setUserInteractionEnabled:TRUE];
[self setContentSize:CGSizeMake(30, 70)];
}
return self;
}
-(void)keeperLocation:(CGPoint)location {
CGPoint offset = ccpSub(location, self.position);
int targetX = self.position.x + offset.x;
int targetY = self.position.y + offset.y;
CGPoint targetPosition = ccp(targetX, targetY);
CCActionMoveBy *actionMoveBy = [CCActionMoveBy actionWithDuration:0.5f position:offset];
[self runAction:actionMoveBy];
}
#end

custom object with CCSprite that conforms to NSCoding not displaying

In my effort to save a ScrollingBackground object I've subclassed the CCSprites to conform to NSCoding. The ScrollingBackground doesn't display. Please see the relevant code below. I'm not really sure whats wrong. Please help.
ScrollingBackground.h:
(CCBackgroundSprite's interface)
#interface CCBackgroundSprite: NSObject <NSCoding>
#property (nonatomic, assign) float xValue;
#property (nonatomic, assign) float yValue;
#property (nonatomic, retain) NSString* backgroundStringName;
#end
ScrollingBackground.m:
(CCBackgroundSprite's implementation)
#implementation CCBackgroundSprite
-(id)init
{
if((self = [super init])){
}
return self;
}
-(id) initWithCoder:(NSCoder *) aDecoder {
self = [super init];
if(self != nil) {
self.xValue = [aDecoder decodeFloatForKey:#"xValue"];
self.yValue = [aDecoder decodeFloatForKey:#"yValue"];
self.backgroundStringName = [aDecoder decodeObjectForKey:#"backgroundStringName"];
}
return self;
}
-(void) encodeWithCoder:(NSCoder *)aCoder {
[aCoder encodeFloat:self.xValue forKey:#"xValue"];
[aCoder encodeFloat:self.yValue forKey:#"yValue"];
[aCoder encodeObject:self.backgroundStringName forKey:#"backgroundStringName"];
}
#end
Setting CCBackgroundSprite's instances for the CCSprite properties:
-(void)spriteProperties {
background1 = [[CCBackgroundSprite alloc] init];
[background1 setXValue:bg.position.x];
[background1 setYValue:bg.position.y];
[background1 setBackgroundStringName:#"bg"];
background2 = [[CCBackgroundSprite alloc] init];
[background2 setXValue:bgSwap.position.x];
[background2 setYValue:bgSwap.position.y];
[background2 setBackgroundStringName:#"bgSwap"];
background3 = [[CCBackgroundSprite alloc] init];
[background3 setXValue:bgSwap2.position.x];
[background3 setYValue:bgSwap2.position.y];
[background3 setBackgroundStringName:#"bgSwap2"];
}
encoding/decoding of other non-Sprite related properties of the ScrollingBackground:
-(void) encodeWithCoder:(NSCoder *)aCoder {
[aCoder encodeInt:self.backgroundCount forKey:#"backgroundCount"];
[aCoder encodeInt:self.backgroundRepeatCount forKey:#"backgroundRepeatCount"];
[aCoder encodeFloat:self.scrollSpeed forKey:#"scrollSpeed"];
[aCoder encodeObject:self.backgroundArray forKey:#"backgroundArray"];
[aCoder encodeObject:self.changeArray forKey:#"changeArray"];
.
.
.
}
-(id) initWithCoder:(NSCoder *) aDecoder {
self = [super init];
if(self != nil) {
self.backgroundCount = [aDecoder decodeIntForKey:#"backgroundCount"];
self.backgroundRepeatCount = [aDecoder decodeIntForKey:#"backgroundRepeatCount"];
self.scrollSpeed = [aDecoder decodeFloatForKey:#"scrollSpeed"];
self.backgroundArray = [aDecoder decodeObjectForKey:#"backgroundArray"];
self.changeArray = [aDecoder decodeObjectForKey:#"changeArray"];
.
.
.
}
}
Saving and loading of ScrollingBackground object:
- (void)saveBackgroundObject:(ScrollingBackground *)object key:(NSString *)key {
[self spriteProperties];
NSData *encodedObject = [NSKeyedArchiver archivedDataWithRootObject:object];
NSString *dataToString = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#", encodedObject];
CCLOG(#"encodedObject = %# \n", dataToString);
NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
[defaults setObject:encodedObject forKey:key];
[defaults synchronize];
}
-(ScrollingBackground *)loadBackgroundWithKey:(NSString *)key {
NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
NSData *encodedObject = [defaults objectForKey:key];
NSString *dataToString = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#", encodedObject];
CCLOG(#"encodedObject = %# \n", dataToString);
ScrollingBackground *object = [NSKeyedUnarchiver unarchiveObjectWithData:encodedObject];
return object;
}
UPDATED:
I have made the following changes the spriteProperties method:
-(void)spriteProperties {
background1 = [[CCBackgroundSprite alloc] init];
[background1 setXValue:bg.position.x];
[background1 setYValue:bg.position.y];
[background1 setBackgroundImageName:bg.displayFrame.textureFilename];
[self addChild:background1];
background2 = [[CCBackgroundSprite alloc] init];
[background2 setXValue:bgSwap.position.x];
[background2 setYValue:bgSwap.position.y];
[background2 setBackgroundImageName:bgSwap.displayFrame.textureFilename];
[self addChild:background2];
background3 = [[CCBackgroundSprite alloc] init];
[background3 setXValue:bgSwap2.position.x];
[background3 setYValue:bgSwap2.position.y];
[background3 setBackgroundImageName:bgSwap2.displayFrame.textureFilename];
[self addChild:background3];
}
The main reason I am using displayFrame.textureFilename above is because I'm reusing the sprites along the way.
Also to setup of the background images I did:
-(void)startingSprites //change later to setupInitialBackground
{
CGSize s = [[CCDirector sharedDirector] winSize];
bg = [CCSprite spriteWithSpriteFrameName:#"bgImage1.png"];
bg.position = ccp(s.width/2, s.height/2);
[currentBackgroundBatchNode addChild:bg];
swapbg = [CCSprite spriteWithSpriteFrameName:#"bgImage2.png"];
swapbg.position = ccp(s.width/2, 3*s.height/2 -1.0);
[currentBackgroundBatchNode addChild: swapbg];
swapbg2 = [CCSprite spriteWithSpriteFrameName:#"bgImage3.png"];
swapbg2.position = ccp(s.width/2, 5*s.height/2 - 2.0);
[currentBackgroundBatchNode addChild: swapbg2];
CCLOG(#"bg background is %#", bg.displayFrame.textureFilename);
CCLOG(#"bgSwap background is %#", swapbg.displayFrame.textureFilename);
CCLOG(#"bgSwap2 background is %#", swapbg2.displayFrame.textureFilename);
}
I've just realized a few things:
the CCLOG's in startingSprites are null
I reuse the currentBackgroundBatchNode (which is a CCSpriteBatchNode) along the way, meaning that I have to encode/decode it. How do I subclass it and with what properties? Not too sure how it'll work out.
I have read a number of your posts, also related to this. I would recommend that instead of trying to subclass several cocos2d classes to conform to NSCoding you should use a simpler work around. I believe your background has it's own layer, so why don't you rather save various background parameters and create another init for your background to handle cases for reloading the background state.
You say you've subclassed CCSprite, but you actually subclassed NSObject. Try:
#interface CCBackgroundSprite: CCSprite <NSCoding>
...

EXC_BAD_ACCESS when using NSKeyedUnarchiver to load saved state

I have subclassed a CCSprite to make an object that can be encoded and decoded. I want to save sprites state and load it again at particular positions. Everything seems to be okay apart from decoding with NSKeyedUnarchiver (see loadIconSpriteState below) which gives an EXC_BAD_ACCESS Below is the code:
HelloWorldLayer.h
#interface CCIconSprite : CCSprite {
NSString *iconName;
float iconXPos;
float iconYPos;
}
#property (nonatomic, retain) NSString *iconName;
#property (nonatomic, assign) float iconXPos;
#property (nonatomic, assign) float iconYPos;
+ (id)iconWithType:(NSString*)imageName;
- (id)initWithIconType:(NSString*)imageName;
#end
#interface HelloWorldLayer : CCLayer < NSCoding>
{
CCIconSprite* testSprite;
BOOL savedState;
CGSize size;
CCMoveTo* moveTo;
NSMutableArray* saveSpriteArray;
NSData* savedSpriteData;
}
+(CCScene *) scene;
#end
HelloWorldLayer.m:
CCIconSprite implementation:
#implementation CCIconSprite
#synthesize iconXPos;
#synthesize iconYPos;
#synthesize iconName;
+ (id)iconWithType:(NSString*)imageName
{
return [[[[self class] alloc] initWithIconType:imageName] autorelease];
}
- (id)initWithIconType:(NSString*)imageName
{
self = [super initWithFile:imageName];
if (!self) return nil;
iconName = imageName;
self.position = ccp(iconXPos, iconYPos);
return self;
}
Encoding and decoding:
- (id)initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)decoder {
NSString* imageFileName = [decoder decodeObjectForKey:#"imageFileName"];
self = [self initWithIconType:imageFileName];
if (!self) return nil;
self.iconXPos = [decoder decodeFloatForKey:#"iconXPos"];
self.iconYPos = [decoder decodeFloatForKey:#"iconYPos"];
return self;
}
- (void)encodeWithCoder:(NSCoder *)encoder
{
[encoder encodeObject:iconName forKey:#"imageFileName"];
[encoder encodeFloat:self.iconXPos forKey:#"iconXPos"];
[encoder encodeFloat:self.iconYPos forKey:#"iconYPos"];
}
#end
HelloWorldLayer implementation:
#implementation HelloWorldLayer
+(CCScene *) scene
{
CCScene *scene = [CCScene node];
HelloWorldLayer *layer = [HelloWorldLayer node];
[scene addChild: layer];
return scene;
}
-(id) init
{
if( (self=[super init]) ) {
self.scale = 0.5;
savedState = NO;
size = [[CCDirector sharedDirector] winSize];
testSprite = [CCIconSprite spriteWithFile:#"Icon.png"];
testSprite.position = ccp(size.width/4, size.width/4);
testSprite.anchorPoint = ccp(0,0);
[self addChild:testSprite];
moveTo = [CCMoveTo actionWithDuration:3 position:ccp(3*size.width/4, 3*size.width/4)];
[testSprite runAction:moveTo];
[self schedule:#selector(saveAndLoadSpriteState)];
}
return self;
}
Saving and loading state:
-(void)saveIconSpriteState {
saveSpriteArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
[saveSpriteArray addObject:testSprite];
savedSpriteData = [NSKeyedArchiver archivedDataWithRootObject:saveSpriteArray];
}
-(void)loadIconSpriteState {
[NSKeyedUnarchiver unarchiveObjectWithData:savedSpriteData];
}
-(void)saveAndLoadSpriteState {
if ((testSprite.position.x > size.width/2) && !savedState) {
savedState = YES;
[self saveIconSpriteState];
}
else if ((testSprite.position.x == 3*size.width/4) && savedState) {
savedState = NO;
[self loadIconSpriteState];
[testSprite runAction:moveTo];
}
}
#end
EDIT
After setting an exception break point I got the following error
Assertion failure in -[CCIconSprite initWithFile:]
pointing to the in line:
NSAssert(filename != nil, #"Invalid filename for sprite");
in the
-(id) initWithFile:(NSString*)filename
method of the CCSprite.m class.
Just a hunch but maybe that's it. When decoding a string, you should copy it because you don't own it at this point, nor are you assigning it to a strong or copy property.
- (id)initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)decoder {
NSString* imageFileName = [[decoder decodeObjectForKey:#"imageFileName"] copy];
self = [self initWithIconType:imageFileName];
if (!self) return nil;
...
}
If that's not it, set a breakpoint and verify that the string is indeed correct when encoding and when decoding.

Changing State for an object in Cocos2d

firstly i would like to apologise for being a complete novice but I have researched the web and can not find a solution to my current problem.
I have 3 objects (sprites) that i have set up individually with switch statements and want to use my main gameplay layer to change their states randomly to an animation that i have already defined in the objects individual header and implementation files.
I have set up a self schedule updater and arc4random method that works but it will not change the state of the object, as it only calls the CCLOG that I have also included in the statement.
I have listed to code below and i know it is a bit of a mess but still very much in my first steps of being a beginner, if anyone can point me in the right direction (that's if i have explained this in a way you can understand!) I would be very grateful.
Thanks in advance for even looking at this question.

Finally found out that all I needed was to add the following code to my TBT gameCharacters-(void)updateStateWithDeltaTime: method...
if (characterState == kStateTest) {

return;
}
now it works fine.
Thanks again to Mikael for trying to help me.

UITableView is not reloading

here is the situation:
I have a "UITableViewController" which loads objects with RestKits "RKFetchedResultsTableController". After clicking on a cell I switch to a detail UITableViewController also driven by a "RKFetchedResultsTableController" which gives me a corresponding answer text for the selected object.
The problem is now, if I go back to the first "UITableViewController" and select another object in the table the old answer text from the previous selected object is in the detail table. If I use the "pullToRefresh" function the table gets refreshed and the correct answer is loading.
Why is the old answer from the previous object still in the tableView and not the correct answer for the new selected Object even if I tell [tableController loadTable] in the viewWillAppear method.
AppDelegate:
#
interface AppDelegate ()
#property (nonatomic, strong, readwrite) RKObjectManager *objectManager;
#property (nonatomic, strong, readwrite) RKManagedObjectStore *objectStore;
#end;
#implementation AppDelegate
#synthesize window = _window, isAuthenticated;
#synthesize objectManager;
#synthesize objectStore;
- (void)initializeRestKit
{
//self.objectManager = [RKObjectManager managerWithBaseURLString:#"http://falling-ocean-1302.herokuapp.com"];
self.objectManager = [RKObjectManager managerWithBaseURLString:#"http://falling-ocean-1302.herokuapp.com"];
self.objectManager.serializationMIMEType = RKMIMETypeJSON;
self.objectManager.acceptMIMEType = RKMIMETypeJSON;
self.objectStore = [RKManagedObjectStore objectStoreWithStoreFilename:#"MMmtvzme.sqlite"];
self.objectManager.objectStore = self.objectStore;
self.objectManager.mappingProvider = [MMMappingProvider mappingProviderWithObjectStore:self.objectStore];
self.objectManager.client.cachePolicy = RKRequestCachePolicyNone;
RKLogConfigureByName("RestKit", RKLogLevelTrace);
RKLogConfigureByName("RestKit/Network", RKLogLevelTrace);
RKLogConfigureByName("RestKit/ObjectMapping", RKLogLevelTrace);
RKLogConfigureByName("RestKit/Network/Queue", RKLogLevelTrace);
// Enable automatic network activity indicator management
objectManager.client.requestQueue.showsNetworkActivityIndicatorWhenBusy = YES;
[objectManager.router routeClass:[MMRequest class] toResourcePath:#"/requests" forMethod:RKRequestMethodPOST];
[objectManager.router routeClass:[MMRequest class] toResourcePath:#"/requests" forMethod:RKRequestMethodDELETE];
[objectManager.router routeClass:[MMAnswer class] toResourcePath:#"/requests/:request_id/answers" forMethod:RKRequestMethodPOST];
}
Ok this is the code from the first UITableViewController
#interface MMMyRequestList ()
#property (nonatomic, strong) RKFetchedResultsTableController *tableController;
#end
#implementation MMMyRequestList
#synthesize tableController;
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
[self configureRKTableController];
[self configureCellMapping];
[self useCustomNib];
}
- (void)configureRKTableController{
self.tableController = [[RKObjectManager sharedManager] fetchedResultsTableControllerForTableViewController:self];
self.tableController.autoRefreshFromNetwork = YES;
self.tableController.pullToRefreshEnabled = YES;
self.tableController.resourcePath = #"/requests";
self.tableController.variableHeightRows = YES;
NSSortDescriptor *descriptor = [NSSortDescriptor sortDescriptorWithKey:#"request_id" ascending:NO];
self.tableController.sortDescriptors = [NSArray arrayWithObject:descriptor];
tableController.canEditRows = YES;
}
- (void)configureCellMapping{
RKTableViewCellMapping *cellMapping = [RKTableViewCellMapping cellMapping];
cellMapping.cellClassName = #"MMRequestCell";
cellMapping.reuseIdentifier = #"MMRequest";
cellMapping.rowHeight = 100.0;
[cellMapping mapKeyPath:#"title" toAttribute:#"requestLabel.text"];
[cellMapping mapKeyPath:#"user.first_name" toAttribute:#"userLabel.text"];
cellMapping.onSelectCellForObjectAtIndexPath = ^(UITableViewCell *cell, id object, NSIndexPath* indexPath)
{
MMMyRequestListAnswer * uic = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"MMMyRequestListAnswer"];
MMRequest *request = [self.tableController objectForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
if ([uic respondsToSelector:#selector(setRequest:)]) {
[uic setRequest:request];
}
[self.navigationController pushViewController:uic animated:YES];
};
[tableController mapObjectsWithClass:[MMRequest class] toTableCellsWithMapping:cellMapping];
}
- (void)useCustomNib{
[self.tableView registerNib:[UINib nibWithNibName:#"MMRequestCell" bundle:nil] forCellReuseIdentifier:#"MMRequest"];
}
- (void)objectLoader:(RKObjectLoader*)objectLoader didFailWithError:(NSError*)error {
UIAlertView* alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Error"
message:[error localizedDescription]
delegate:nil
cancelButtonTitle:#"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil];
[alert show];
NSLog(#"Hit error: %#", error);
}
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {
[super viewWillAppear:animated];
/**
Load the table view!
*/
[tableController loadTable];
}
After clicking on a cell the Detail UIViewController come into action
interface MMMyRequestListAnswer ()
#property (nonatomic, strong) RKFetchedResultsTableController *tableController;
#end
#implementation MMMyRequestListAnswer
#synthesize tableHeaderView, requestTextLabel;
#synthesize request;
#synthesize tableController;
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
[self configureRKTableController];
[self configureCellMapping];
[self useCustomNib];
}
- (void)configureRKTableController{
self.tableController = [[RKObjectManager sharedManager] fetchedResultsTableControllerForTableViewController:self];
self.tableController.autoRefreshFromNetwork = YES;
self.tableController.pullToRefreshEnabled = YES;
self.tableController.resourcePath = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"/requests/%i/answers", [self.request.request_id intValue]];
self.tableController.variableHeightRows = YES;
NSSortDescriptor *descriptor = [NSSortDescriptor sortDescriptorWithKey:#"answer_id" ascending:NO];
self.tableController.sortDescriptors = [NSArray arrayWithObject:descriptor];
}
- (void)configureCellMapping{
RKTableViewCellMapping *cellMapping = [RKTableViewCellMapping cellMapping];
cellMapping.cellClassName = #"MMRequestAnswerCell";
cellMapping.reuseIdentifier = #"MMAnswer";
cellMapping.rowHeight = 80.0;
[cellMapping mapKeyPath:#"text" toAttribute:#"answerLabel.text"];
[cellMapping mapKeyPath:#"user.first_name" toAttribute:#"userLabel.text"];
[tableController mapObjectsWithClass:[MMAnswer class] toTableCellsWithMapping:cellMapping];
}
- (void)useCustomNib{
[self.tableView registerNib:[UINib nibWithNibName:#"MMRequestAnswerCell" bundle:nil] forCellReuseIdentifier:#"MMAnswer"];
}
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {
[super viewWillAppear:animated];
/**
Load the table view!
*/
[tableController loadTable];
}
The Object Mapping is handled in this Class:
#implementation MMMappingProvider
#synthesize objectStore;
+ (id)mappingProviderWithObjectStore:(RKManagedObjectStore *)objectStore {
return [[self alloc] initWithObjectStore:objectStore];
}
- (id)initWithObjectStore:(RKManagedObjectStore *)theObjectStore {
self = [super init];
if (self) {
self.objectStore = theObjectStore;
[self setObjectMapping:[self requestObjectMapping] forResourcePathPattern:#"/requests" withFetchRequestBlock:^NSFetchRequest *(NSString *resourcePath) {
NSFetchRequest *fetchRequest = [MMRequest fetchRequest];
return fetchRequest;
}];
[self setObjectMapping:[self answerObjectMapping] forResourcePathPattern:#"/requests/:request_id/answers" withFetchRequestBlock:^NSFetchRequest *(NSString *resourcePath) {
NSFetchRequest *fetchRequest = [MMAnswer fetchRequest];
fetchRequest.sortDescriptors = [NSArray arrayWithObject:[NSSortDescriptor sortDescriptorWithKey:#"answer_id" ascending:YES]];
return fetchRequest;
}];
[self setSerializationMapping:[self.requestObjectMapping inverseMapping] forClass:[MMRequest class]];
[self setSerializationMapping:[self.answerObjectMapping inverseMapping] forClass:[MMAnswer class]];
[self setSerializationMapping:[self.userObjectMapping inverseMapping] forClass:[MMUser class]];
}
return self;
}
- (RKManagedObjectMapping *)userObjectMapping {
RKManagedObjectMapping *mapping = [RKManagedObjectMapping mappingForEntityWithName:#"MMUser" inManagedObjectStore:self.objectStore];
mapping.primaryKeyAttribute = #"user_id";
[mapping mapAttributes:#"first_name", nil];
[mapping mapKeyPathsToAttributes:
#"id", #"user_id",
nil];
return mapping;
}
- (RKManagedObjectMapping *)answerObjectMapping {
RKManagedObjectMapping *mapping = [RKManagedObjectMapping mappingForEntityWithName:#"MMAnswer" inManagedObjectStore:self.objectStore];
mapping.primaryKeyAttribute = #"answer_id";
[mapping mapAttributes:#"text",#"request_id",#"user_id", nil];
[mapping mapKeyPathsToAttributes:
#"id", #"answer_id",
nil];
[mapping mapKeyPath:#"user" toRelationship:#"user" withMapping:[self userObjectMapping]];
[mapping mapKeyPath:#"request" toRelationship:#"request" withMapping:[self requestObjectMapping]];
return mapping;
}
- (RKManagedObjectMapping *)requestObjectMapping {
RKManagedObjectMapping *mapping = [RKManagedObjectMapping mappingForEntityWithName:#"MMRequest" inManagedObjectStore:self.objectStore];
mapping.primaryKeyAttribute = #"request_id";
[mapping mapAttributes:#"title",#"user_id", nil];
[mapping mapKeyPathsToAttributes:
#"id", #"request_id",
nil];
[mapping mapKeyPath:#"user" toRelationship:#"user" withMapping:[self userObjectMapping]];
return mapping;
}
OK Figured it out!!! Some digging revealed that I was loading my UITableviewcontroller BEFORE the mapping provider.
The fix was, to take [self initialiserestkit] method in - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
and put it before any of the code in this method (i.e. make [self initialiserestkit] the first line of the didfinishlaunchingwithoptions method.
Issue solved. Now the tableview is loaded AFTER the mappings so everything works as it should.
