I need to pass this array to SOAP API as a parameter. The back-end guy is new to building APIs (C#/.NET) and I have never implemented this kind of API before. There are 4-5 SO question related to this. But none of them were the solution as per my query.
NSArray *arr = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"1",#"2", nil];
NSString *soapURL = #"http://tempuri.org/IService1/addRecord";
NSString *soapBody = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"<addRecord xmlns=\"http://tempuri.org/\">"
"<id>%#</id>"
"<title>%#</title>"
"<record>%#</record>"
"</addRecord> \n” ,#“1”,#“abc", arr ];
NSLog(#"%#",soapBody);
Error:
value in string The formatter threw an exception while trying to deserialize the message: Error in deserializing body of request message for operation 'addRecord'. End element 'record' from namespace 'http://tempuri.org/' expected. Found text '(
1,
2
)'.
One thing I came to know that I cannot pass array directly in to soapBody. What what is the alternative?
The API is working fine at the back-end.
some comments:
NSArray *arr = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"1",#"2", nil];
please write instead the modern form:
NSArray *arr = #[#"1",#"2"];
Also, your question is filled with wrong types of quotes (“1”). Make sure to use the regular quotes, i.e. ".
When you use "stringWithFormat" with %# and provide an array, you must understand what you are getting there. let's try:
NSArray *arr = #[#"1",#"2"];
NSString *str = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"<%#>", arr];
NSLog(#"%#", str);
The result is:
<(
1,
2
)>
It means that between your <record> and </record> you inserted two numbers separated by a comma and surrounded by parentheses, plus some \n.
Is this what your server is expecting?
So I am not solving your problem, but you must format your string the right way and verify it using your NSLog command. Hoping it is helping.
EDIT
If for example you need to provide the values of the array within <value>...</value> than you can do this:
NSArray *arr = #[#"1", #"2"];
NSMutableString *mStr = [NSMutableString string];
for (NSString *value in arr) {
[mStr appendFormat:#"<value>%#</value>", value];
}
NSLog(#"<record>%#</record>", mStr);
And the result will be
<record><value>1</value><value>2</value></record>
Finally I resolved this issue with this code:
NSString *soapBody = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"< addRecord xmlns=\"http://tempuri.org/\" xmlns:arr=\"http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/Arrays\" > \n"
"<ID>1</ID>\n"
"<title>ABC</title>\n"
"<record>\n"];
for (int i=0; i<arrRecord.count; i++) {
soapBody = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%# <arr:int>%#</arr:int>\n",soapBody,arrRecord[i]];
}
soapBody = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%# </record></addRecord> \n",soapBody];
I needed to define "arr" in the parent node and type of element(int) in the record array.

I have a problem with NSString and NSMutableArray.
When I retrieve a string from mutable array ,it has more white spaces, and I don't understand why it's happening.
I'll explain, I have an array and populate it by query (using sqlite3):
NSMutableArray *fileNameAttached = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithArray:[self.dbManager loadDataFromDB:query]];
and it's like this:
<__NSArrayM 0x15e233980>(
<__NSArrayM 0x15e26afd0>(
Allegato N. 1
)
)
When I retrieve the string Allegato N.1 with this code:
NSString *test = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#", [fileNameAttached objectAtIndex:0] ];
string test is like this:
(
"Allegato N. 1"
)
Why my string isn't only:
Allegato N.1
When I put it in a label it's not correct because contains () and white spaces.
The query for DB is:
NSString *query = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"SELECT fileName FROM Attach WHERE ID = '%#';",ticketID];
and works perfectly,in fact when I populate tableview cell it's OK. But I don't understand because my string test contains 3 line with more white spaces.
Please help Me.
Thank you and sorry for my english.
In your log there are two arrays.
(
(
Allegato N. 1
)
)
There are two round brackets thats means two array.
You are fetching data like NSString *test = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#", [fileNameAttached objectAtIndex:0] ];
That means first object of outer array so it is another array. so you need to do something like
NSArray *temp =[fileNameAttached objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *test = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#", [temp objectAtIndex:0] ];
I think you are using appcoda's DBManager class to do this. If it is so then you everytime got two array when load query.
Hope this will help :)
Hi I am trying to extract key value from NSDictionary, the dictionary value looks like below screen shot
I need to extract the value with key "TITLE" to NSString, using the code
NSDictionary* tmp = [self getDBRequest:req];
NSString * title =[tmp valueForKey:#"TITLE"];
But giving the the value like
Is there anything wrong with above code?
Edit:
NSLog(#"%#", tmp);
Gives the output
2015-12-31 11:04:52.530 SimpleTable[610:10059] (
{
DESCRIPTION = "30% OFF ON NEW ";
"IMAGE_URL" = "crowd.jpg";
TITLE = "GET 30% OFF";
}
)
Edit2
Actualy using the result of NSString * title =[tmp valueForKey:#"TITLE"]; I have to replace an element of NSMutableArray
And the code
NSMutableArray *array = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
[array addObject:#"Eezy"];
[array addObject:#"Tutorials"];
NSDictionary* tmp = [self getDBRequest:req];
NSString * title =[tmp valueForKey:#"TITLE"];
[array replaceObjectAtIndex:0 withObject:title];
Giving me the array modified some thing like below screen shot
Look at the first image in your question, the first line of the contents dump says "1 object".
Also look at the output of the NSLog, notice the parentheses (( & )) which surround the braces ({ & }), which in turn surround the key/value pairs.
Both these are telling you that tmp is not referencing an NSDictionary as you think, but an NSArray containing a single element and that element is an NSDictionary.
Now when you invoke valueForKey: on an array of dictionaries it does the key lookup on every dictionary in the collection and returns and array of results.
Which is why when you look at the second image in your question you see that its contents dump also starts with "1 object" - title is referencing an array containing one element, being your string.
This is also why, as mentioned in the comments, that using objectForKey: in place of valueForKey: causes an error - that method does not operate on arrays and so produces the unrecognized selector sent to instance error.
HTH
try like bellow code.
NSDictionary *tmp = #{#"DESCRIPTION" : #"30 OFF ON NEW",#"IMAGE_URL" : #"crowd.jpg",#"TITLE" : #"GET 30% OFF"};
//NSDictionary* tmp = [self getDBRequest:req];
NSArray *keyArray = [tmp allKeys];
NSString * title = [keyArray objectAtIndex:[keyArray indexOfObject:#"TITLE"]];//[keyArray objectAtIndex:0];
[array replaceObjectAtIndex:0 withObject:title];
For example, I have an array
NSArray *array = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"one<true>",#"two<false>",#"three<true>",#"four<false>"];
I want the output as NSString using componentsJoinedByString
"one<true>'&'two<false>'&&'three<true>'&'four<false>'&&'"
That is, in an array if an object contain a value <true> it should be joined by '&' and if an array value contain a value <false> it should be joined by '&&'.
I know, I can run a for loop and using if condition, I can achieve the output. But I'm looking for other efficient way to implement this.
Thanks in advance.
It may be help
you can use stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString
for ex:
yourArrayJoinString=[yourArrayJoinString stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:#"<true>" withString:#"<true>'&'"];
yourArrayJoinString=[yourArrayJoinString stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:#"<false>" withString:#"<false>'&&'"];
Try with this
NSArray *array = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"one<true>",#"two<false>",#"three<true>",#"four<false>" ,nil];
NSString *str = [array componentsJoinedByString:#""];
str =[str stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:#"<false>" withString:#"<false>'&&'"];
str =[str stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:#"<true>" withString:#"<true>'&'"];
I have an NSString that hold data (actually that could be presented an NSArray). and i want to output that on a label.
In NSLog my NSString output is:
(
"cristian_camino",
"daddu_02",
"_ukendt_babe_",
"imurtaza.zoeb"
)
What i want is, to present it like :"cristian_camino","daddu_02","_ukendt_babe_","imurtaza.zoeb"
In a single line.
I could accomplish that turning string to an array and do following: arrayObjectAtIndex.0, arrayObjectAtIndex.1, arrayObjectAtIndex.2, arrayObjectAtIndex.3.
But thats look not good, and that objects may be nil, so i prefer NSString to hold data.
So, how could i write it in a single lane?
UPDATE:
There is the method i want to use to set text for UILabel:
-(void)setLikeLabelText:(UILabel*)label{
//Likes
NSString* likersCount = [self.photosDictionary valueForKeyPath:#"likes.count"];
NSString* likersRecent = [self.photosDictionary valueForKeyPath:#"likes.data.username"];
NSString *textString = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%# - amount of people like it, recent "likes": %#", likersCount, likersRecent];
label.text = textString;
NSLog(#"text String is %#", textString);
}
valueForKeyPath: returns an NSArray, not an NSString. Whilst you've declared likersCount and likersRecent as instances of NSString, they're actually both arrays of values. You should be able to do something like the following to construct a string:
NSArray* likersRecent = [self.photosDictionary valueForKeyPath:#"likes.data.username"];
NSString *joined = [likersRecent componentsJoinedByString:#"\", \""];
NSString *result = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"\"%#\"", joined];
NSLog(#"Result: %#", result);
componentsJoinedByString: will join the elements of the array with ", ", and then the stringWithFormat call will add a " at the beginning and end.
The statement is incorrect, the internal quote marks (" that you want to display) need to be escaped:
NSString *textString = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%# - amount of people like it, recent \"likes\": %#", likersCount, likersRecent];
If somebody curious how i fix it, there it is:
for (int i =0; i < [likersRecent count]; i++){
stringOfLikers = [stringOfLikers stringByAppendingString:[NSString stringWithFormat:#" %#", [likersRecent objectAtIndex:i]]];
}
Not using commas or dots though.
Okay I am new to objective C and am trying hard to learn it on my own with out bother the stacked overflow community to much but it is really quite different then what I'm used to (C++).
But I have come across a issue that I for the life of me can't figure out and I'm sure it's going be something stupid. But I am pulling questions and answers from a website that then will display on my iOS application by using this code.
NSString * GetUrl = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"http://www.mywebpage.com/page.php"];
NSString * GetAllHtml = [NSString stringWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:GetUrl] encoding:1 error:nil];
NSString *PullWholeQuestion = [[GetAllHtml componentsSeparatedByString:#"<tr>"] objectAtIndex:1];
NSString *FinishWholeQuestion = [[PullWholeQuestion componentsSeparatedByString:#"</tr>"] objectAtIndex:0];
After I get all of the webpage information I strip down each question and want to make it where it will do a loop process to pull the questions so basically I need to count how many array options there are for the FinishedWholeQuestion variable
I found this snippet online that seemed to work with there example but I cant repeat it
NSArray *stringArray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"1", #"2", nil];
NSLog(#"count = %d", [stringArray count]);
"componentsSeparatedByString" returns an NSArray object, not a single NSString.
An array object can contain zero, one or more NSString objects, depending on the input.
If you change "FinishWholeQuestion" into a NSArray object, you'll likely get a few components (separate by a string).
And now that I'm looking at your code a little more closely, I see you're making an assumption that your array is always valid (and has more than 2 entries, as evidenced by the "objectAtIndex: 1" bit).
You should also change the first character of all your Objective-C variables. Best practices in Objective-C are that the first character of variables should always be lower case.
Like this:
NSString * getUrl = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"http://www.mywebpage.com/page.php"];
NSString * getAllHtml = [NSString stringWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:getUrl] encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding error:nil];
NSArray * allQuestions = [getAllHtml componentsSeparatedByString:#"<tr>"];
if([allQuestions count] > 1)
{
// assuming there is at least two entries in this array
NSString * pullWholeQuestion = [allQuestions objectAtIndex: 1];
if(pullWholeQuestion)
{
NSString *finishWholeQuestion = [[pullWholeQuestion componentsSeparatedByString:#"</tr>"] objectAtIndex:0];
}
}
