Extract attributes from NSManagedObject array.
- by Pavel Peroutka
NSFetchRequest *req = [NSFetchRequest init];
NSEntityDescription *descr = [NSEntityDescription entityForName:@"City" inManagedObjectContext:context];
[req setEntity:descr];
NSSortDescriptor *sort = [[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:@"streetName" ascending:YES];
[req setSortDescriptors:[NSArray arrayWithObject:sort]];
[sort release];
//fetch
NSError *error;
NSArray *result = [context executeFetchRequest:req error:&error];
//extract names
NSMutableArray *streets = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
for () {
??? = [array objectAtIndex:i];
[streets addObject:name];
}
I expected Core Data to be little more intuitive. I am new in it and I could use some help.
I fetched all objects(rows) from the entity (table) City. Now I have an array of objects. From the array I need to extract the attribute “streetName” to an array which will feed the picker. I figured I need to do it in the loop but I could not figure out the way to do it.
Please help.
I have a background with SQL but Core Data is still a big mystery to me. Is there any publication which would take a SQL statement and show comparable Core Data syntax?
Thanks.
