UITableView not displaying parsed data
- by Graeme
I have a UITableView which is setup in Interface Builder and connected properly to its class in Xcode. I also have a "Importer" Class which downloads and parses an RSS feed and stores the information in an NSMutableArray.
However I have verified the parsing is working properly (using breakpoints and NSlog) but no data is showing in the UITable View. Any ideas as to what the problem could be? I'm almost out of them.
It's based on the XML performance Apple example.
Here's the code for TableView.h:
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import "IncidentsImporter.h"
@class SongDetailsController;
@interface CurrentIncidentsTableViewController : UITableViewController <IncidentsImporterDelegate>{
NSMutableArray *incidents;
SongDetailsController *detailController;
UITableView *ctableView;
IncidentsImporter *parser;
}
@property (nonatomic, retain) NSMutableArray *incidents;
@property (nonatomic, retain, readonly) SongDetailsController *detailController;
@property (nonatomic, retain) IncidentsImporter *parser;
@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UITableView *ctableView;
// Called by the ParserChoiceViewController based on the selected parser type.
- (void)beginParsing;
@end
And the code for .m:
#import "CurrentIncidentsTableViewController.h"
#import "SongDetailsController.h"
#import "Incident.h"
@implementation CurrentIncidentsTableViewController
@synthesize ctableView, incidents, parser, detailController;

self.parser = [[IncidentsImporter alloc] init];
parser.delegate = self;
[parser start];
UIBarButtonItem *refreshButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemRefresh target:self action:@selector(beginParsing)];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = refreshButton;
[refreshButton release];
// Uncomment the following line to preserve selection between presentations.
//self.clearsSelectionOnViewWillAppear = NO;
// Uncomment the following line to display an Edit button in the navigation bar for this view controller.
// self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = self.editButtonItem;
}
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {
NSIndexPath *selectedRowIndexPath = [ctableView indexPathForSelectedRow];
if (selectedRowIndexPath != nil) {
[ctableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:selectedRowIndexPath animated:NO];
}
}

//self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem.enabled = NO;
// Allocate the array for song storage, or empty the results of previous parses
if (incidents == nil) {

self.incidents = [NSMutableArray array];
} else {

[ctableView reloadData];
}
