What I'm trying to do is to pass data from my Objective-C to my swift file.
Recently, when I have successfully connected my objective c file with my swift file, I can print data that get from UNIUrlConnection(which means the connection between swift and objective-c works fine).
Then I create a NSMutableDictionary object and add those data into NSMutableDictionary. I want to pass this NSMutableDictionary object to my swift file so that I can output them on my viewController.
However, the NSMutableDictionary contains correct data within the UNIUrlConnection but then contains none out of UNIUrlConnection. Thus the NSMutableDictionary passed to swift file would always contain no data. How can I solve this?
This is my objective c file.
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import <UNIRest.h>
#import "findByIngredients.h"
#implementation findByIngredients
-(NSMutableDictionary*) connectAPI:(NSString*) ingredients Number:(NSString*) number{
NSMutableDictionary *temp = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithCapacity:10];
NSString* url = #"https://spoonacular-recipe-food-nutrition-v1.p.mashape.com/recipes/findByIngredients?fillIngredients=false";
if (![ingredients isEqual: #""]) {
NSString* ingre = #"&ingredients=";
ingre = [ingre stringByAppendingString:ingredients];
url = [url stringByAppendingString:ingre];
}
else {
NSString* ingre = #"&ingredients=<required>";
url = [url stringByAppendingString:ingre];
}
NSString* LL = #"&limitLicense=false";
url = [url stringByAppendingString:LL];
if (![number isEqual: #""]) {
NSString* numberOfReturn = #"&number=";
numberOfReturn = [numberOfReturn stringByAppendingString:number];
url = [url stringByAppendingString:numberOfReturn];
}
NSString* ranking = #"&ranking=1";
url = [url stringByAppendingString:ranking];
// These code snippets use an open-source library. http://unirest.io/objective-c
NSDictionary *headers = #{#"X-Mashape-Key": #"KEY", #"Accept": #"application/json"};
UNIUrlConnection *asyncConnection = [[UNIRest get:^(UNISimpleRequest *request) {
[request setUrl:url];
[request setHeaders:headers];
}] asJsonAsync:^(UNIHTTPJsonResponse *response, NSError *error) {
NSInteger code = response.code;
NSDictionary *responseHeaders = response.headers;
UNIJsonNode *body = response.body;
NSData *rawBody = response.rawBody;
if (rawBody) {
id allKeys = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:rawBody options:0 error:&error];
for (int i=0; i<[allKeys count]; i++) {
NSDictionary *arrayResult = [allKeys objectAtIndex:i];
// NSString* myNewString = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d", i];
NSString *key = [arrayResult objectForKey:#"id"];
NSString *value = [arrayResult objectForKey:#"title"];
[temp setObject:value forKey:key];
NSLog(#"id=%#",[arrayResult objectForKey:#"id"]);
NSLog(#"title=%#",[arrayResult objectForKey:#"title"]);
}
}
int size = [temp count];
NSLog(#"temp size is %d",size);
NSLog(#"successfully test API");
}];
// int size = [temp count];
// NSLog(#"temp size is %d",size);
return temp;
}
#end
Here the size of temp within UNIUrlConnection is correct. But if I put the size before return (which I comment out), it shows 0, which is wrong.
This is my swift file.
#IBAction func search(_ sender: Any) {
let ingreArr = IngredientsText.text.components(separatedBy: [",", " "])
var ingre:String = ingreArr[0]
let sep:String = "%2C"
for (index,element) in ingreArr.enumerated() {
if (index >= 1) {
ingre = ingre + sep + element
}
}
let test = findByIngredients()
// test.connectAPI(ingre, number: NumberOfResults.text)
let result: Dictionary = test.connectAPI(ingre, number: NumberOfResults.text) as Dictionary
let num:Int = result.count
print(num)
}
The num is 0.

in my project i applied the following code
NSDictionary *dict6 = [self cleanJsonToObject:responseData];
NSLog(#"str : %#",dict6);
diagnosisdict = [[[dict6 objectForKey:#"diagnoses"] objectAtIndex:0] objectForKey:#"DiagnosesHospitals"];
diagnosedictforname = [[[dict6 objectForKey:#"diagnoses"]objectAtIndex:0]objectForKey:#"Diagnoses"];
NSLog(#" for ref id =%# ,name of diagnose=%# data is= %#",refidstr,diagnosedictforname ,diagnosisdict);
and the output in console is comes out as in the form
str : {
diagnoses = (
{
Diagnoses = {
"diagnosis_name" = "TRANSIENT ISCHEMIA";
};
DiagnosesHospitals = {
"charge_amt" = "1300.00";
discharges = "11200.00";
"hospital_id" = 3341;
id = 163080;
"medicare_amt" = "100.00";
"total_amt" = "1100.00";
};
}
);
response = 200;
}
ref id =3341 ,name of diagnose={
"diagnosis_name" = "TRANSIENT ISCHEMIA";
} data is= {
"charge_amt" = "1300.00";
discharges = "11200.00";
"hospital_id" = 3341;
id = 163080;
"medicare_amt" = "100.00";
"total_amt" = "1100.00";
}
now i just want to embed the values of both the Dictionaries into one dictionary
someone please help me to sort out this issue.
Make a mutable copy of the first dictionary:
NSMutableDictionary * mutDic = [dic1 mutableCopy];
and then:
[mutDic addEntriesFromDictionary:dic2];
Try this code:
NSDictionary *dict6 = [self cleanJsonToObject:responseData];
NSLog(#"str : %#",dict6);
NSMutableDictionary *diagnosisdict = [[[dict6 objectForKey:#"diagnoses"] objectAtIndex:0] objectForKey:#"DiagnosesHospitals"];
NSDictionary *diagnosedictforname = [[[dict6 objectForKey:#"diagnoses"]objectAtIndex:0]objectForKey:#"Diagnoses"];
NSArray *keys = [diagnosedictforname allKeys];
for (int i =0; i < keys.count; i++) {
NSString *key = [keys objectAtIndex:i];
[diagnosisdict setValue:[diagnosedictforname valueForKey:key] forKey:key];
}
NSLog(#"your dic -> %#", diagnosisdict);
here is my code. I used NSDictionary and coded to print my json data in my console.but i got error like this:
'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[__NSCFString objectForKeyedSubscript:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x7c971930'
My code:
if(buttonIndex == 0) {
NSLog(#"OK Button is clicked");
}
else if(buttonIndex == 1) {
if([[textView.text stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet whitespaceCharacterSet]] length]!=0)
{
if(!self.note)
{
NSManagedObjectContext *context = [self managedObjectContext];
NSManagedObject *newNote = [NSEntityDescription insertNewObjectForEntityForName:#"Notes" inManagedObjectContext:context];
NSLog(#"%#",textView.text);
[newNote setValue:textView.text forKey:#"note"];
if([textView.text length]>30)
{
[newNote setValue:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#...",[textView.text substringToIndex:25]] forKey:#"title"];
}
else
[newNote setValue:textView.text forKey:#"title"];
[newNote setValue:[NSDate date] forKey:#"mod_time"];
//[newDevice setValue:self.versionTextField.text forKey:#"version"];
//[newDevice setValue:self.companyTextField.text forKey:#"company"];
How to overcome this problem to work and to print my data in my console
Help me out. I am struggling for 2 hours.I googled and change all change.But cant get data in my console. Thanks in advance
I guess you can get data like below this
NSDictionary *monday = jsonResults[#"original"];
NSArray * arrFile = monday[#"files"];
for (NSDictionary *theCourse in arrFile)
{
....
}
Did you checked that received data (i.e., returnData) from sendSynchronousRequest: is returning a plain data?
If the data received is in Base64, you might have to decode this NSData to plain data, and then go ahead with String conversion.
NSData *decodedData = [[NSData alloc] initWithBase64EncodedData:responseData options:NSDataBase64DecodingIgnoreUnknownCharacters];
NSString *str = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:decodedData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
// convert Json to NSDictionary
NSDictionary *jsonResults = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:returnData options:NSJSONReadingMutableContainers error:nil];
// NSLog(#"%#",jsonResults);
int count = [[jsonResults valueForKey:#"count"] intValue];
NSArray *arrayData = [jsonResults copy];
NSMutableArray *arrayPDFName = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
for(int i = 0;i < [arrayData count];i++)
{
NSDictionary *dictOriginal = [[arrayData objectAtIndex:2]valueForKey:#"original"];
int countOriginal = [[dictOriginal valueForKey:#"count"] intValue];
NSLog(#"The countOriginal is - %d",countOriginal);
NSArray *arrayFiles = [[dictOriginal valueForKey:#"files"] copy];
NSLog(#"The arrayFiles are - %#",arrayFiles);
for(int j=0;j<[arrayFiles count];j++)
{
NSString *strCreatedTime = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",[[arrayFiles objectAtIndex:j] valueForKey:#"created_time"]];
NSString *strLastModifiedTime = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",[[arrayFiles objectAtIndex:j] valueForKey:#"last_modified_time"]];
NSString *strID = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",[[arrayFiles objectAtIndex:j] valueForKey:#"id"]];
NSString *strName = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",[[arrayFiles objectAtIndex:j] valueForKey:#"name"]];
NSLog(#"The created_time is - %#",strCreatedTime);
NSLog(#"The last_modified_time is - %#",strLastModifiedTime);
NSLog(#"The is is - %#",strID);
NSLog(#"The name is - %#",strName);
[arrayPDFName addObject:strName];
}
}
It seems that since XCode 6.1, the iPhone 5S, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6+ simulators (all 64-bit) all return data from the following system method differently (keys are ordered differently) than their 32-bit simulator counterparts (e.g. iPhone 5 simulator)
+ (NSData *)dataWithJSONObject:(id)obj options:(NSJSONWritingOptions)opt error:(NSError **)error;
This difference of key ordering caused a problem for me since we calculate the SHA1 of that JSON data (converted to NSString*) and use it for a validation test. Since the ordering changed, the SHA1 changed and the validation fails.
Simplified sample code (non-ARC) to get the SHA1 is below:
NSData* jsonData = [NSJSONSerialization dataWithJSONObject:dict
options:0
error:&error];
NSString * json = [[[NSString alloc] initWithData:jsonData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding] autorelease];
NSString * sha1 = [MyUtils computeSHA1:json];
+(NSString*) computeSHA1:(NSString*)input
{
const char *cstr = [input cStringUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSData *data = [NSData dataWithBytes:cstr length:input.length];
NSNumber* dataLen = [NSNumber numberWithUnsignedInteger:data.length];
uint8_t digest[CC_SHA1_DIGEST_LENGTH];
CC_SHA1(data.bytes, dataLen.unsignedIntValue, digest);
NSMutableString* output = [NSMutableString stringWithCapacity:CC_SHA1_DIGEST_LENGTH * 2];
for(int i = 0; i < CC_SHA1_DIGEST_LENGTH; i++)
[output appendFormat:#"%02x", digest[i]];
return output;
}
Apparently, this key ordering difference doesn't happen on the actual devices (previous behavior was preserved).
I also tried with the NSJSONWritingPrettyPrinted option but the JSON ordering is still inconsistent between simulators.
So, the question is: Does anyone have a recommendation on how to normalize such JSON data so as to not be susceptible to key ordering changes? Alternately, is there any way to get the previous (32-bit simulator) behavior?
Key ordering in dictionaries is not guaranteed. If you need them sorted, put them into an array and sort them.
The code below (non-ARC) worked for me to better canonicalize JSON output. The code assumes the class methods below are all in a class called MyUtils.
Simply pass the the NSDictionary to serialize into "canonicalized JSON" to canonicalJSONRepresentationWithDictionary:
The returned NSString* then contains serialized JSON that has the keys ordered lexicographically/alphabetically in a non-human readable format.
+(NSString *) canonicalJSONRepresentationWithDictionary:(NSDictionary *)dict
{
NSMutableString* json = [NSMutableString string];
[json appendString:#"{"];
NSArray* keys = [[dict allKeys] sortedArrayUsingComparator:^NSComparisonResult(NSString* a, NSString* b) {
return [a compare:b];
}];
for (int i = 0; i < keys.count; i++) {

[json appendFormat:#"\"%#\":", key];
if ([dict[key] isKindOfClass:[NSString class]]) {
[json appendFormat:#"\"%#\"", [MyUtils canonicalJSONRepresentationWithString:dict[key]]];

I am trying to pull an LDAP "jpegPhoto" attribute from an openLDAP server using a iOS openLDAP framework. The framework pulls the data as a dictionary of NSStrings.
I need to convert the NSString of "jpegPhoto" (which also appears to be base64 encoded) to UIImage, with the end result being that I display the jpegPhoto as the user's image when they login.

There are many similar questions in Stackoverflow.. Please refer the following links

(Since there has been no working code posted for getting the image data from LDAP, I wanted to add this answer for the benefit of future visitors.)
The missing piece was reading the binary data into an NSData object rather than an NSString when you have binary data that might contain NULL (zero) values within it, such as images or GUIDs.
