How to display data in Dictionary in custom UITableViewCell? - ios

Question

I am using AFNetworking 3.0.
In View controller I have displayed multiple Speciality title in each cell. After tap on particular cell, I got response from server like following:
[{"dp":{"id":0,"qualification":"MD(Doctor)","reg_id":0,"specialization1":"Orthopaedics","specialization2":"Dermatologist","specialization3":"Neurology","url":"www.batras.com"},"ds":{"city":"agiripalle","consultation_fee":450,"contact_no":"1234567890","country":"India","id":18,"organization_name":"Batra","pin_code":"411052","reg_id":0,"state":"andhra pradesh","street_name":"jhbfahjf","wellness_flag":false},"reg":{"mobile_no":0,"name":"Batra","profile_id":0,"reg_id":157,"wellness_id":"251215782521"}},{"dp":{"id":0,"qualification":"MD(Doctor)","reg_id":0,"specialization1":"Orthopaedics","specialization2":"Dermatologist","specialization3":"Neurology","url":"www.batras.com"},"ds":{"city":"anur","consultation_fee":458,"contact_no":"1234567898","country":"India","id":19,"organization_name":"Danny","pin_code":"411052","reg_id":0,"state":"himachal pradesh","street_name":"afafwfw","wellness_flag":false},"reg":{"mobile_no":0,"name":"Batra","profile_id":0,"reg_id":157,"wellness_id":"251215782521"}},{"dp":{"id":0,"qualification":"MD(Doctor)","reg_id":0,"specialization1":"Orthopaedics","specialization2":"Dermatologist","specialization3":"Neurology","url":"www.batras.com"},"ds":{"city":"pabal","consultation_fee":500,"contact_no":"4512451252","country":"India","id":20,"organization_name":"Org Name","pin_code":"411052","reg_id":0,"state":"maharashtra","street_name":"afawafww","wellness_flag":false},"reg":{"mobile_no":0,"name":"Batra","profile_id":0,"reg_id":157,"wellness_id":"251215782521"}},{"dp":{"id":0,"qualification":"MD(Doctor)","reg_id":0,"specialization1":"Orthopaedics","specialization2":"Dermatologist","specialization3":"Neurology","specialization4":"Gynecologist","url":"danny.com"},"ds":{"city":"bumlitan","consultation_fee":504,"contact_no":"1234567898","country":"India","id":21,"organization_name":"Danny","pin_code":"411052","reg_id":0,"state":"andaman and nicobar islands","street_name":"East Street","wellness_flag":false},"reg":{"mobile_no":0,"name":"Danny","profile_id":0,"reg_id":167,"wellness_id":"311220165848"}},{"dp":{"id":0,"qualification":"MD(Doctor)","reg_id":0,"specialization1":"Orthopaedics","specialization2":"Dermatologist","specialization3":"Neurology","specialization4":"Gynecologist","url":"danny.com"},"ds":{"city":"amtala","consultation_fee":451,"contact_no":"1234567898","country":"India","id":22,"organization_name":"Danny","pin_code":"411052","reg_id":0,"state":"assam","street_name":"West","wellness_flag":false},"reg":{"mobile_no":0,"name":"Danny","profile_id":0,"reg_id":167,"wellness_id":"311220165848"}},{"dp":{"id":0,"qualification":"MD(Doctor)","reg_id":0,"specialization1":"Orthopaedics","specialization2":"Dermatologist","specialization3":"Neurology","specialization4":"Gynecologist","url":"danny.com"},"ds":{"city":"hala","consultation_fee":541,"contact_no":"1234567890","country":"India","id":23,"organization_name":"Danny Clinic","pin_code":"411123","reg_id":0,"state":"chandigarh","street_name":"Chandigarh","wellness_flag":false},"reg":{"mobile_no":0,"name":"Danny","profile_id":0,"reg_id":167,"wellness_id":"311220165848"}}]
After that I handle that response like following way:
NSLog(#"Response from specialization server : %#", [[NSString alloc] initWithData:responseObject encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]);
NSArray *ResponseArray = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData: responseObject options: kNilOptions error: nil];
if (ResponseArray.count >0)
{
_spclarr = [ResponseArray mutableCopy];
NSLog(#"special_array : %#",_spclarr);
_spclstr=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",_spclarr];
NSUserDefaults *prefs = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
// saving an NSString
[prefs setObject:_spclstr forKey:#"spcl"];
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:#"doctorspcl" sender:self];
}
[self getdata:responseObject];
} failure:^(NSURLSessionTask *operation, NSError *error)
{
// If Error occure, then this is AlertController Appear
NSLog(#"Error: %#", error);
In next view:
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
NSUserDefaults *prefs = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
NSString *s = [prefs stringForKey:#"spcl"];
NSLog(#"spcl: %#",s);
menuItems=[s componentsSeparatedByString:#","];
NSLog(#"menu: %#",menuItems);
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
return [menuItems count];
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Doctordetail";
DoctorDetailTableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];
NSDictionary *content = [menuItems objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
NSLog(#"content: %#",content);
return cell;
}
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
NSLog(#"%ld",(long)indexPath.row);
NSDictionary *content = [menuItems objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
NSLog(#"Cell Clicked: %#",menuItems);
NSLog(#"content2: %#",content);
}
When I run app on simulator, it works. when I click on particular cell, the log prints data of that cell.
here is menuItems:

but my problem is, it doesn't display in UITableViewCell
I tried to display it like following way:
[cell.drname setText:[[content objectForKey:#"dp"]valueForKey:#"qualification"]];
as well as
[cell.drname setText:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#", [[content objectForKey:#"dp"]valueForKey:#"qualification"]]];
but it gives me error like:
Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[__NSCFString objectForKey:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x7a07c600'
I didn't get that, where I am wrong.
Please anyone can solve my issue. help will be appreciable.

Answer 1

you need to make following changes.
AFHTTPSessionManager *manager = [AFHTTPSessionManager manager];
[manager GET:#"YourURL" parameters:nil progress:nil success:^(NSURLSessionTask *task, id responseObject) {
NSLog(#"JSON: %#", responseObject);
NSArray *ResponseArray = (NSArray *)responseObject;
if (ResponseArray.count >0)
{
_spclarr = [ResponseArray mutableCopy];
NSLog(#"special_array : %#",_spclarr);
NSUserDefaults *prefs = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
// saving Array to NSUserDefaults
[prefs setObject:_spclarr forKey:#"spcl"];
[prefs synchronize];
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:#"doctorspcl" sender:self];
}
} failure:^(NSURLSessionTask *operation, NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"Error: %#", error);
}];
In detail View Controller
-(void)viewDidLoad
{
NSUserDefaults *prefs = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
//directly reading the array
menuItems = [prefs objectForKey:#"spcl"];
}
your cellForRowAtIndexPath should look like this
-(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
UITableViewCell *cell=[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"Cell" forIndexPath:indexPath];
NSUserDefaults *prefs = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
NSArray *menuItems = [prefs objectForKey:#"spcl"];
NSDictionary *content = [menuItems objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
[cell.textLabel setText:[[content objectForKey:#"dp"]valueForKey:#"qualification"]];
return cell;
}
When we get the response in array format then why are you storing it in NSUserDefaults as NSString ? To get rid of it you need to store an Array directly in NSUserDefaults and use that array directly.

Answer 2

The problem is you have a NSArray not NSDictionary. try this-
NSArray* arr = #[#{#"dp":#{#"id":#"0",#"qualification":#"MD(Doctor)"}},
#{#"ds":#{#"id":#"1",#"qualification":#"MD(Nurse)"}}];
NSDictionary *dpDict = [[arr objectAtIndex:0]objectForKey:#"dp"];
NSString *str = [dpDict valueForKey:#"qualification"];
here, you get the string. It doesn't crash.
In cellForRowAtIndexPath use
NSString *str = [[[menuItems objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]objectForKey:#"dp"]valueForKey:#"qualification"];
to get the string.

Answer 3

Try this:
NSDictionary *dpDict = [content objectForKey:#"dp"];
if (dpDict && [dpDict isKindOfClass:[NSDictionary class]] && [dpDict objectForKey:#"qualification"] != nil) {
[cell.drname setText:[dpDict objectForKey:#"qualification"]];
}
