How to get data from property list from NSDocumentDirectory? - ios

Question

This is a tutorial of how to read a file from :
NSDictionary *dictRoot = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:[[NSBundle mainBundle]pathForResource:#"TestPlist" ofType:#"plist"]];
I want to read the file from documents?
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
full code:
#import "ViewController.h"
#interface ViewController () {
NSMutableArray *subjectList;
NSMutableArray *contentList;
}
#end
#implementation ViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
subjectList = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
contentList = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
NSDictionary *dictRoot = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:[[NSBundle mainBundle]pathForResource:#"TestPlist" ofType:#"plist"]];
NSArray *arrayList = [NSArray arrayWithArray:[dictRoot objectForKey:#"Data"]];
[arrayList enumerateObjectsUsingBlock:^(id obj, NSUInteger index, BOOL *stop) {
[subjectList addObject:[obj valueForKey:#"Title"]];
[contentList addObject:[obj valueForKey:#"Content"]];
}];
}
- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning {
[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {
return [subjectList count];
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
static NSString *simpleTableIdentifier = #"SimpleTableItem";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:simpleTableIdentifier];
if(cell == nil) {
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc]initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:simpleTableIdentifier];
}
cell.textLabel.text = [subjectList objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.detailTextLabel.text = [contentList objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
return cell;
}
#end
How can I do that ? and thanks in advance :(
