Problems pulling data from NSMutableArray for MapKit?
- by Graeme
Hi,
I have a class (DataImporter) which has the code to download an RSS feed. I also have a view and separate class (TableView) which displays the data in a UITableView and starts the parsing process, storing parsed information in an NSMutableArray (items).
Now I wish to add a UIMapView which displays the items in the items NSMutableArray. I'm struggling to transfer the data into the new class (mapView) to show it in the map - and I preferably don't want to have to create a new class to download the data again for the map. Is there a way I can transfer the information from the NSMutableArray (items) to the mapView?
Thanks.
Code for viewDidLoad MapKit:
Data *data = nil;
NSString *ilocation = [data locations];
NSString *ilocation2 = @"New Zealand";
NSString *inewlString;
inewlString = [ilocation stringByAppendingString:ilocation2];
NSLog(@"inewlString=%@",inewlString);
if(forwardGeocoder == nil)
{
forwardGeocoder = [[BSForwardGeocoder alloc] initWithDelegate:self];
}
// Forward geocode!
[forwardGeocoder findLocation: inewlString];
Code for parsing data into NSMutable Array:
- (void)beginParsing {
NSLog(@"Parsing has begun");
//self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem.enabled = NO;
// Allocate the array for song storage, or empty the results of previous parses
if (incidents == nil) {
NSLog(@"Grabbing array");
self.datas = [NSMutableArray array];
} else {
[datas removeAllObjects];
[self.tableView reloadData];
}
// Create the parser, set its delegate, and start it.
self.parser = [[DataImporter alloc] init];
parser.delegate = self;
[parser start];
}
