Adding Custom Object to NSMutableArray
- by Fozz
Developing ios app. I have an object class Product.h and .m respectively along with my picker class which implements my vehicle selection to match products to vehicle. The files
product.h

Ignoring the fact that its really long I also tried to just set the property but then my product didnt have any values. So I alloc'd for all properties, not sure which is "correct"
the use of product
picker.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
@class Vehicle;
@class Product;
@interface Picker : UITableViewController <NSXMLParserDelegate> {
NSString *currentRow;
NSString *currentElement;
Vehicle *vehicle;
}
@property (nonatomic, retain) NSMutableArray *dataArray;
//@property (readwrite, copy) NSString *currentRow;
//@property (readwrite, copy) NSString *currentElement;
-(void) getYears:(NSString *)string;
-(void) getMakes:(NSString *)year;
-(void) getModels:(NSString *)year: (NSString *)make;
-(void) getStyles:(NSString *)year: (NSString *)make: (NSString *)model;
-(void) getHitch:(NSString *)year: (NSString *)make: (NSString *)model: (NSString *)style;
-(void) parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didEndElement:(NSString *)elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName;
-(void) parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser foundCharacters:(NSString *)string;
-(void) parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didStartElement:(NSString *)elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName attributes:(NSDictionary *)attributeDict;
@end
The implementation .m
#import "Product.h"
#import "Picker.h"
#import "KioskAppDelegate.h"
#import "JSON.h"
#import "Vehicle.h"
@implementation Picker
@synthesize dataArray;
-(void) getHitch:(NSString *)year: (NSString *)make: (NSString *)model: (NSString *)style{
currentRow = [NSString stringWithString:@"z:row"];
currentElement = [NSString stringWithString:@"gethitch"];
//Reinitialize data array
[self.dataArray removeAllObjects];
[self.dataArray release];
self.dataArray = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:nil];
//Build url & string
NSString *thisString = [[NSString alloc] initWithString:@""];
thisString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://api.curthitch.biz/AJAX_CURT.aspx?action=GetHitch&dataType=json&year=%@&make=%@&model=%@&style=%@",year,make,model,style];
//Request
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:thisString]];
//Perform request and fill data with json
NSData *response = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:nil error:nil];
//Get string from data
NSString *json_string = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:response encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
//set up parser
SBJsonParser *parser = [[SBJsonParser alloc] init];
//parse json into object
NSArray *tempArray = [parser objectWithString:json_string error:nil];
for (NSDictionary *dic in tempArray) {
Product *tempProduct = [[Product alloc] initWithDict:dic];
NSLog(@"is tempProduct valid %@", (tempProduct) ? @"YES" : @"NO");
[self.dataArray addObject:tempProduct];
}
}

So I stripped out all the table methods and misc crap that doesnt matter. In the end my problem is adding the "tempProduct" object to the mutable array dataArray so that I can customize the table cells.
Using the json framework im parsing out some json which returns an array of NSDictionary objects. Stepping through that my dictionary objects look good, I populate my custom object with properties for all my fields which goes through fine, and the values look right. However I cant add this to the array, I've tried several different implementations doesn't work. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. In some instances doing a po tempProduct prints the description and sometimes it does not. same with right clicking on the variable and choosing print description.
