Swift 3.0 (Xcode 8.3)
I'm trying to make a small program, that send a username to a web data base. I have found out how to send first_name, last_name,dob,owner_mobile,owner_email,
owner_password,choice_for_verification, by using in POST method. I obtain a JSON string earlier, then when I try to parse it, I get the above error on the try NSJSONSerialization line, on the as keyword. What did I do wrong? Thanks for your answers.

So for I've a UITableView in which I'm showing comments which is fetch from my localhost DB, when a user post comment it's send to localhost and store there and it the same time I reload table and the comment is shown it the time but when a user delete a comment or update a comment then in the DB data is actually deleted or updated but my tableview is not reloading with new data till I close the view and open it again.
following is my code.
This my delete comment code:
#objc func deleteComment(){
ProgressHUD.show("Wait Deleting", interaction: false)
customView.removeFromSuperview()
var commentArray : Dictionary<String, Any> = [:]
commentArray["commentId"] = self.getCommentId
let myUrl = URL(string: "http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/comment/delete");
var request = URLRequest(url:myUrl!)
request.httpMethod = "POST"// Compose a query string
request.addValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-type")
guard let httpbody = try? JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: commentArray, options: []) else { return }
request.httpBody = httpbody
let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request) { (data: Data?, response: URLResponse?, error: Error?) in
if error != nil
{
print("error=\(error)")
return
}
// print out response object
// print("response = \(response)")
//Let's convert response sent from a server side script to a NSDictionary object:
do {
let json = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data!, options: .mutableContainers) as? NSDictionary
if let parseJSON = json {
if parseJSON["delete"] != nil{
ProgressHUD.dismiss()
self.alertDeleted()
}else {
if parseJSON["error"] != nil{
ProgressHUD.dismiss()
print(parseJSON["error"] as Any)
}
}
}
} catch {
print(error)
}
}
task.resume()
}
This is delete comment alert.
public func alertDeleted(){
let alertController = UIAlertController(title: "Comment Deleted:", message: "Press Ok to continue.", preferredStyle: .alert)
let confirmAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Ok", style: .default) { (_) in
self.showMatchCommentsApiCall()
}
alertController.addAction(confirmAction)
self.present(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
This is update comment code.
#objc func updateComment(){
ProgressHUD.show("Wait Upating", interaction: false)
updateCommentView.removeFromSuperview()
var commentArray : Dictionary<String, Any> = [:]
commentArray["commentId"] = self.getCommentId
commentArray["updatedComment"] = textView.text
let myUrl = URL(string: "http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/comment/update");
var request = URLRequest(url:myUrl!)
request.httpMethod = "POST"// Compose a query string
request.addValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-type")
guard let httpbody = try? JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: commentArray, options: []) else { return }
request.httpBody = httpbody
let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request) { (data: Data?, response: URLResponse?, error: Error?) in
if error != nil
{
print("error=\(error)")
return
}
// print out response object
//print("response = \(response)")
//Let's convert response sent from a server side script to a NSDictionary object:
do {
let json = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data!, options: .mutableContainers) as? NSDictionary
if let parseJSON = json {
if parseJSON["update"] != nil{
ProgressHUD.dismiss()
self.alertCommentUpdated()
self.showMatchCommentsApiCall()
return
}else {
if parseJSON["error"] != nil{
ProgressHUD.dismiss()
print(parseJSON["error"] as Any)
}
}
}
} catch {
print(error)
}
}
task.resume()
}
My ShowMatchCommentsApiCall() function.
public func showMatchCommentsApiCall(){
ProgressHUD.show("Please Wait", interaction: false)
guard let url = URL(string: "http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/matchComments/\(getMatchId)") else {return}
let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: url) { (data, response, error) in
guard let dataResponse = data,
error == nil else {
print(error?.localizedDescription ?? "Response Error")
return }
do{
//here dataResponse received from a network request
let jsonResponse = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with:
dataResponse, options: [])
// print(jsonResponse) //Response result
guard let jsonArray = jsonResponse as? [[String: Any]] else {
return
}
//print(jsonArray)
for comments in jsonArray{
guard let commentID = comments["commentId"] as? Int else { return }
guard let userID = comments["userId"] as? Int else { return }
guard let userName = comments["userName"] as? String else { return }
let userImgUrl = comments["userImg"] as? String
if userImgUrl != nil{
self.commentsUserImgUrl.append(userImgUrl!)
}else {
self.commentsUserImgUrl.append("nil")
}
guard let commentMessage = comments["comment"] as? String else { return }
self.commentId.append(commentID)
self.commmentsUserId.append(userID)
self.commentsUserName.append(userName)
self.comments.append(commentMessage)
}
} catch let parsingError {
print("Error", parsingError)
}
DispatchQueue.main.async {
self.MatchScoreTable.reloadData()
ProgressHUD.dismiss()
}
}
task.resume()
}
STEP 1. :self.commentsArray.remove(at: indexPath.row)
STEP 2. : self.tableView.deleteRows(at:[indexPath],with:UITableViewRowAnimation.automatic)
STEP 3. : self.tableView.reloadData()
After deleting or updating data just call a UITableView method reloadData
Syntax is as follows :
tableView.reloadData()
I have been trying to insert certain data into mysql through php. But however i am getting an error coded 3840.Below is the code i am working on:-
#IBAction func btnVerify(_ sender: Any) {
let myUrl = URL(string: "http://kumbhkaran.co.in/ios_otp_check/verifyOTP.php");
var request = URLRequest(url:myUrl!);
request.httpMethod = "POST";
let postString = "category=\(Category)&subcategory=\(SubCategory)&vendorname=\(ShopName)&managername=\(ManagerName)&managercontact=\(ManagerMobile)&mobile=\(UserName)&landline=\(Landline)&email=\(Email)&website=\(Website)&city=\(City)&address=\(Address)&area=\(Area)&pincode=\(Pincode)&rentowned=\(ShopStatus)&homedelivary=\(HomeDelivery)&pwd=\(Password)&marketing_ref=\(MarketingRef)&Working_Start_time=\(StartTime)&Working_End_time=\(EndTime)"
request.httpBody = postString.data(using: String.Encoding.utf8);
let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request) { (data: Data?, response: URLResponse?, error: Error?) in
DispatchQueue.main.async
{
//spinningActivity!.hide(true)
if error != nil {
self.displayAlertMessage(messageToDisplay: error!.localizedDescription)
return
}
do {
let json = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data!, options: .mutableContainers) as? NSDictionary
if let parseJSON = json {
let userId = parseJSON["message"] as? String
if( userId != nil)
{
let myAlert = UIAlertController(title: "Alert", message: "Registration successful", preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.alert);
let okAction = UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: UIAlertActionStyle.default){(action) in
self.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}
myAlert.addAction(okAction);
self.present(myAlert, animated: true, completion: nil)
} else {
let errorMessage = parseJSON["message"] as? String
if(errorMessage != nil)
{
self.displayAlertMessage(messageToDisplay: errorMessage!)
}
}
}
} catch{
print(error)
}
}
}
task.resume()
}
However after all this code i get an error stated as below:-
Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=3840 "JSON text did not start
with array or object and option to allow fragments not set."
UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=JSON text did not start with array or
object and option to allow fragments not set
Try this :
Set option value to allowFragments instead of mutableContainers.
Probably the json response is not properly formed.
let json = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data!, options: .allowFragments) as? NSDictionary
Once the user click the login button, i will call the func LoginClicked and get the status from api:
func LoginClicked(sender: AnyObject)
{
data_request{
(response) -> () in
let arrResponse = response.componentsSeparatedByString("|")
if (arrResponse[2] == "1"){
self.performSegueWithIdentifier("Login", sender: self)
}
else {
let alert = UIAlertController(title: "Login Failed", message: "Invalid Login!", preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.Alert)
alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Click", style: UIAlertActionStyle.Default, handler: nil))
self.presentViewController(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
}
}
func data_request(completion : (response:NSString) -> ()){
let txtUI : String = txtUsername!.text!
let txtPWD : String = txtPassword!.text!
let url = NSURL(string: "http://myweb.net/?UI=\(txtUI)&PW=\(txtPWD)")!
let request = NSURLRequest(URL: url)
let config = NSURLSessionConfiguration.defaultSessionConfiguration()
let session = NSURLSession(configuration: config)
let task = session.dataTaskWithRequest(request, completionHandler: {
(
let data, let response, let error) in
guard let _:NSData = data, let _:NSURLResponse = response where error == nil else {
print("error")
return
}
let dataString = NSString(data: data!, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding)
completion(response : dataString!)
})
task.resume()
}
If success, it will move to another view. Otherwise, show failed alert. it will hit the error BAD_EXECUTION_INSTRUCTION when calling self. in both condition.
After get the hint from #Tj3n, it can do the proper action now.
func data_request(completion : (response:NSString) -> ()){
let txtUI : String = txtUsername!.text!
let txtPWD : String = txtPassword!.text!
let url = NSURL(string: "http://myweb.net/?UI=\(txtUI)&PW=\(txtPWD)")!
let request = NSURLRequest(URL: url)
let config = NSURLSessionConfiguration.defaultSessionConfiguration()
let session = NSURLSession(configuration: config)
let task = session.dataTaskWithRequest(request, completionHandler: {
(
let data, let response, let error) in
guard let _:NSData = data, let _:NSURLResponse = response where error == nil else {
print("error")
return
}
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), {
let dataString = NSString(data: data!, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding)
//let response = dataString?.componentsSeparatedByString("|")
//print(dataString)
//print(response![2])
let arrResponse = dataString!.componentsSeparatedByString("|")
if (arrResponse[2] == "1"){
self.performSegueWithIdentifier("Login", sender: self)
}
else {
let alert = UIAlertController(title: "Login Failed", message: "Invalid Login!", preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.Alert)
alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Click", style: UIAlertActionStyle.Default, handler: nil))
self.presentViewController(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
})
let dataString = NSString(data: data!, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding)
completion(response : dataString!)
})
task.resume()
}
In swift 2 When I'm communicating with a web-service and when I write these codes in button action it works fine.
let alert = UIAlertController(title: "Alert", message: "Message", preferredStyle: .Alert)
let ok = UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: .Default, handler: { (action) -> Void in })
alert.addAction(ok);
let request = NSMutableURLRequest(URL: NSURL(string: "http://www.myaddress.com/web-service/iostest.aspx")!)
request.HTTPMethod = "POST"
var postString = String();
postString = "uid=1";
request.HTTPBody = postString.dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding)
let task = NSURLSession.sharedSession().dataTaskWithRequest(request) { data, response, error in
guard error == nil && data != nil else {
alert.title="Error"
alert.message = "Connection error"
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue()){
self.presentViewController(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
return
}
if let httpStatus = response as? NSHTTPURLResponse where httpStatus.statusCode != 200 {
alert.title="Error"
alert.message = "Server error"
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue()){
self.presentViewController(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
}
let responseString = NSString(data: data!, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding)
alert.title="Info"
alert.message = responseString as? String
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue()){
self.presentViewController(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
}
task.resume()
As I said this works fine but as I want to do this from different ViewControls as well I have created a swift file which contains a struct and a static func in that struct that returns the the "responseString" so I could alert it in the view control. Something like this:
struct globalClass {
static func sendInfo(url: String, data: String) -> (answer: String, errorCode: Int32) {
var res = String();
var err = Int32();
err = 0;
let request = NSMutableURLRequest(URL: NSURL(string: url)!);
request.HTTPMethod = "POST";
let postString: String = data;
request.HTTPBody = postString.dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding);
let task = NSURLSession.sharedSession().dataTaskWithRequest(request) { data, response, error in
guard error == nil && data != nil else {
err = 1;
return;
}
if let httpStatus = response as? NSHTTPURLResponse where httpStatus.statusCode != 200 {
err = 2;
return;
}
let responseString = NSString(data: data!, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding);
res = (responseString as? String)!;
}
task.resume();
return (res, err);
}
But now when I call this func from my button it shows me an empty alert very fast that it seems like it didn't get anything from web-service and didn't even try too.
I put these in the button action:
#IBAction func btnData(sender: AnyObject) {
let y: String = "uid=1";
let res = globalClass.sendInfo("http://www.myaddress.com/web-service/iostest.aspx", data: y);
let alert = UIAlertController(title: "", message: "", preferredStyle: .Alert);
let OK = UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: .Default, handler: nil);
alert.addAction(OK);
if (res.errorCode==0) {
alert.title = "Info";
alert.message = res.answer;
} else if (res.errorCode==1) {
alert.title = "Error";
alert.message = "Error connecting to server";
} else {
alert.title = "Error";
alert.message = "Server returned an error";
}
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue()){
self.presentViewController(alert, animated: true, completion: nil);
};
}
Thanks for the help,

globalClass.sendInfo uses async call - dataTaskWithRequest. The result of the request will be delivered in completion of this method. But you don't wait for that result, instead you try to use sendInfo like a sync function.
To be able to deliver the result from dataTaskWithRequest's completion, put your own completion into sendInfo and invoke this completion (closure) when the result is delivered. An example
struct GlobalClass {
static func sendInfo(url: String, data: String, completion: (answer: String?, errorCode: Int32?) -> Void) {
// you code here which prepares request
let task = NSURLSession.sharedSession().dataTaskWithRequest(request) { data, response, error in
// you parse the result here
// you deliver the result using closure
completion(string, error)
}
task.resume();
}
}
And an example of usage:
func usage() {
GlobalClass.sendInfo("url", data: "data") { (answer, errorCode) in
// your answer and errorCode here
// handle the result
}
}
static func sendInfo(url: String, data: String, completion: (answer: String, errorCode: Int32) -> ()){
//Your code..
let responseString = NSString(data: data!, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding);
res = (responseString as? String)!;
completion(answer: res, errorCode: err)
}
task.resume()
}
Then when you call the sendInfo, call like so:
sendInfo(url: "your url", data: "your data") { (result, error) in
//you use your result and error values as u want.
}
This is the searchbar delegate that i use
func searchBar(searchBar: UISearchBar, textDidChange searchText: String) {
if searchText.characters.count >= 2 {
self.setupinbox(searchText)
}
}
This is the function to get data from server
func setupinbox(q : String) {
arrayOfRels.removeAll(keepCapacity: false)
self.tableView.reloadData()
let session = NSURLSession.sharedSession()
let request = NSMutableURLRequest(URL: NSURL(string: "URL")!)
request.setValue("application/x-www-form-urlencoded", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
request.HTTPMethod = "POST"
let data = "devicetoken=\(devicetoken!)&q=\(q)&user_id=\(userid)"
request.HTTPBody = data.dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding)
let task = session.dataTaskWithRequest(request, completionHandler: {(data, response, error) in
if let error = error {
print(error)
}
if let response = response {
let res = response as! NSHTTPURLResponse
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), {
if (res.statusCode >= 200 && res.statusCode < 300)
{
do {
let jsonData = try NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data!, options:NSJSONReadingOptions.MutableContainers ) as! NSArray
let json = JSON(jsonData)
for (_, subJSON): (String, JSON) in json[0]["interests"] {
let title = subJSON["title"].string
let eID = subJSON["ID"].string
let count = subJSON["count"].string
let rel1 = InboxInterests(title: title!,eventID : NSInteger(eID!)!, count: count!)
self.arrayOfRels.append(rel1)
}
} catch let error as NSError {
print(error)
}
self.tableView.reloadData()
} else {
let alert = UIAlertController(title: "Error", message: "Connection Failed", preferredStyle: .Alert)
alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Ok", style: .Default, handler: { (action: UIAlertAction) in
}))
self.presentViewController(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
}
)}
})
task.resume()
}
When i type searchbar slowly, everything is ok, i see results correctly.
But when i type 2 letters very quickly, i get duplicate item.
I also get duplicate items when i remove letters quickly
Tried something like delaying the textDidChange but it didnt work.
Any idea what causes this and how can i fix?
You should put an extra line of code:
do {
arrayOfRels.removeAll(keepCapacity: false)
