in server side data i am getting 17000 users names.when i get 1000 user names ofter Xcode is crashing giving these error message from debugger:terminated due to memory pressure please help me how to get 17000 user names data how to handle without memory presser.i got these problem in real device.
why i am taking array in app delegate i need to use these 17000 user names in so many view controllers
I am declare array
AppDelegate.h
#property (nonatomic,retain) NSMutableArray *userNamesGettingArrayObj;
I am declare string
ModelClass.h
#property (nonatomic,strong) NSString *nameString;
ModelClass.m
// i am getting server data in these dictionary object
NSDictionary *dictobj=[NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:responseData options:kNilOptions error:&err];
for (int i = 0; i<=[[dictobj valueForKey:#"name"] count]-1;i++)
{
_nameString=[[dictobj valueForKey:#"name"]objectAtIndex:i];
[delegate.userNamesGettingArrayObj addObject:_nameString];
}
viewController.m
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
return [delegate.userNamesGettingArrayObj count];
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
if (_tableViewObj == tableView) {
static NSString *ide=#"ide";
UITableViewCell *cell=[_tableViewObj dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:ide];
if (cell==nil) {
cell=[[UITableViewCell alloc]initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:ide];
}
cell.textLabel.text=[delegate.userNamesGettingArrayObj objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
return cell;
}
}
I suspect that your repeated repeated repeated use of valueForKey may be the problem. Whether it is the problem or not, it is so inefficient it hurts my eyes. About 100 times faster:
NSArray* names = dictObj [#"name"];
NSMutableArray* userNames = delegate.userNamesGettingArrayObj;
for (NSString* nameString in names)
[names addObject:nameString];
17,000 names should be no problem whatsoever unless there's something wrong with your code.
valueForKey is a high-level method that is usually entirely inappropriate for processing JSON, or for accessing anything stored in a dictionary. Unless you have a very good reason (one that you could explain if asked about it), use objectForKey or just [#"someKey"].
Have to tried??
make response dict golable and
cell.textlable.text=[dictobj valueForKey:#"name"]objectAtIndex:indexpath.row];
Dont get that much data from sever at same time, use load more button or auto hit functions when your table reach at end of list.

I'm building an article reading app.I'm parsing JSON data using NSData in UITableView.
I'm facing an issue that is data is not load in slow internet speed(2g or 3g)means UI is empty.I want to implement NSUrlConnection

Thanks in advance.
This looks really messy, and i suggest you change your whole design.
A basic and cleaner way (but probably not the best/cleanest way) :
Create class to handle outside-of-view related work (JSON parsing here)
Call that class in viewDidLoad to start parsing
Call a method that refreshes your table view with the newly parsed data when the parsing is done (in the JSON class).
That way, the table view will load your placeholders first and then reload itself when it has the data.
In my opinion, a better way would be to populate it before loading it so there is no wait time.
Can you find what you need yourself, or code it alone? or do you need help? If so, with what?
EDIT : You could/should also use the AFNetworking framework that will make your life 10 times easier with JSON/Internet related code.
I usually create a class that handles the load of my data, whether from a URL or local store. You could use AFNetworking, but there is a ton of extra stuff you might not need. The basics of using NSUrlConnection is really easy.
Try this tutorial, it will help you to understand how Apple's implementation works before you add a third party library that masks it for you.
NSUrlConnection Tutorial
I used one tutorial to include My twitter home page in my code, but for me does not works.
This is the code
#implementation VSViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
[self twitterTimeline];
}
- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
{
[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
- (void)twitterTimeline {
ACAccountStore *account = [[ACAccountStore alloc] init]; // Creates AccountStore object.
// Asks for the Twitter accounts configured on the device.
ACAccountType *accountType = [account accountTypeWithAccountTypeIdentifier:ACAccountTypeIdentifierTwitter];
[account requestAccessToAccountsWithType:accountType options:nil completion:^(BOOL granted, NSError *error)
{
// If we have access to the Twitter accounts configured on the device we will contact the Twitter API.
if (granted == YES){
NSArray *arrayOfAccounts = [account accountsWithAccountType:accountType]; // Retrieves an array of Twitter accounts configured on the device.
// If there is a leat one account we will contact the Twitter API.
if ([arrayOfAccounts count] > 0) {
ACAccount *twitterAccount = [arrayOfAccounts lastObject]; // Sets the last account on the device to the twitterAccount variable.
NSURL *requestAPI = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json"]; // API call that returns entires in a user's timeline.
// The requestAPI requires us to tell it how much data to return so we use a NSDictionary to set the 'count'.
NSMutableDictionary *parameters = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
[parameters setObject:#"100" forKey:#"count"];
[parameters setObject:#"1" forKey:#"include_entities"];
// This is where we are getting the data using SLRequest.
SLRequest *posts = [SLRequest requestForServiceType:SLServiceTypeTwitter requestMethod:SLRequestMethodGET URL:requestAPI parameters:parameters];
posts.account = twitterAccount;
// The postRequest: method call now accesses the NSData object returned.
[posts performRequestWithHandler:
^(NSData *response, NSHTTPURLResponse
*urlResponse, NSError *error)
{
// The NSJSONSerialization class is then used to parse the data returned and assign it to our array.
self.array = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:response options:NSJSONReadingMutableLeaves error:&error];
if (self.array.count != 0) {
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
[self.tableView reloadData]; // Here we tell the table view to reload the data it just recieved.
});
}
}];
}
} else {
// Handle failure to get account access
NSLog(#"%#", [error localizedDescription]);
}
}];
}
#pragma mark Table View Data Source Mehtods
-(NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {
// Returns the number of rows for the table view using the array instance variable.
return [_array count];
}
-(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
// Creates each cell for the table view.
static NSString *cellID = #"CELLID" ;
UITableViewCell *cell = [self.tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellID];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:cellID];
}
// Creates an NSDictionary that holds the user's posts and then loads the data into each cell of the table view.
IT CRASHES HERE with the error -[__NSCFDictionary objectAtIndexedSubscript:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance
NSDictionary *tweet = _array[indexPath.row];
cell.textLabel.text = tweet[#"text"];
return cell;
}
The problem is that _array is not an array (it's a dictionary).
You only have to read the error message to see this.
You can't make any assumptions about what kind of object JSONObjectWithData:options:error: will give you; it depends on what the JSON data looks like. In this case, the JSON structure has resulted in the Objective-C equivalent being an NSDictionary. The fact that you may have called your array instance variable an NSArray makes no difference; in Objective-C, an object is what it is (polymorphism).
You didn't catch the problem earlier because count is a method both of NSDictionary and of NSArray, so you didn't crash when you said self.array.count.
Very new to iOS, a bit lost on what to do. I actually HAVE all that I need, I just need help putting said information into my tableview now. I am debugging and everything is correct when I hover over the variables in my "init" function, but when I go down to the function that handles the cells something is just not clicking. Very frustrating having the information you need but don't know how to put it where you want.
I hate coming to SO for these kind of questions but I have exhausted all other options. Before posting on here, I have tried everything. I tried to google other projects that I can reference, did not find any that was iOS 7 or relevant to my project. I apologize for this elementary question, and thank you in advance.

I am creating an app that takes a JSON text from a server and translates it into a match schedule for a robotics tournament. I have custom cells that are filled with the data I receive from the site and they display the data for each individual match just fine. The problem is that when I put the matches into a .plist file ("data.plist") so that once the internet connection is established initially, the user doesn't necessarily need to reconnect to the internet once the app is killed in order to view the match schedule for the day. My code works perfectly until I don't connect to the internet. For some reason, the app never goes into the function that creates the cells once the internet connection fails. Please help!!

I apologize for the lengthy code, I'm just trying to make sure I got all the details in. Please ask any questions you need to in order to clarify, I'm just really stuck and flustered right now as to why it never enters the function that creates cells if it doesn't have an internet connection.
A couple of reactions:
Your fileExistsAtPath doesn't look right. Surely you should have fully qualified path, e.g.:
if (![[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:path]) {
[[NSFileManager defaultManager] copyItemAtPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle]pathForResource:#"data" ofType:#"plist"] toPath:path error:nil];
}
I'd also probably suggest you check the success of copyItemAtPath (either the return value or use the error parameter).
I assume you know that the data.plist will never be successfully refreshed before viewDidLoad finishes (because the connection is initiated asynchronously and you return immediately from initWithRequest). This code is just loading the last data.plist values while retrieving the new data proceeds (the previous error notwithstanding). Is that your expectation?
On top of my prior point, your connectionDidFinishLoading does not appear to be issuing a reloadData call for the table, so it seems like you'll always see the previous data. When the connection is done, connectionDidFinishLoading should call reloadData for the UITableView.
Minor, unrelated detail, but I'd probably initialize receivedData in the NSURLConnectionDataDelegate method didReceiveResponse (and only if that response was successful, too). It doesn't really belong in viewDidLoad.
I might also encourage you to check for failure of JSONObjectWithData. Some networking failures manifest themselves as a successful NSURLConnection request that returns an HTML page (!) reporting an error. That HTML page will fail JSONObjectWithData processing. You might want to abort your parsing routine if JSONObjectWithData returns nil or if the error object is not nil.
Found my solution. The
[[self tableView]setDelegate:self];
[[self tableView]setDataSource:self];
Was only located in the "connectionDidFinishLoading:" function, so the data sources were never set if there was no internet connection.
I really appreciated everyone's help in this problem and I have edited a lot of my code to make it work better based off of those suggestions. Thanks!
I have tableview where is name and status. Status is changed when come apple push notification (APNS).
But I have this problem. What can I do, if notification didn't come? Or if user tap on close button of this message.
I try to update table by using ASIHTTPRequest:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
HomePageTableCell *cell = (HomePageTableCell *)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];
// Configure the cell...
NSManagedObject *device = [self.devices objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.nameLabel.text = [device valueForKey:#"name"];
if ([[device valueForKey:#"status"] isEqualToNumber:#1])
{
cell.status.text = #"Not configured";
cell.stav.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"not_configured.png"];
}
if ([[device valueForKey:#"status"] isEqualToNumber:#2])
{
//some other states
}
return cell;
}
I try this to change status before cell is loading...
- (void) getStatus:(NSString *)serialNumber
{
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:#"link to my server"];
__block ASIFormDataRequest *request = [ASIFormDataRequest requestWithURL:url];
__weak ASIHTTPRequest *request_b = request;
request.delegate = self;
[request setPostValue:#"updatedevice" forKey:#"cmd"];
[request setPostValue:serialNumber forKey:#"serial_number"]; //get status of this serial number
[request setCompletionBlock:^
{
if([self isViewLoaded])
{
[MBProgressHUD hideHUDForView:self.view animated:YES];
if([request_b responseStatusCode] != 200)
{
ShowErrorAlert(#"Comunication error", #"There was an error communicating with the server");
}
else
{
NSString *responseString = [request_b responseString];
SBJsonParser *parser = [[SBJsonParser alloc] init];
NSDictionary *result = [parser objectWithString:responseString error:nil];
status = [result objectForKey:#"status"];
NSInteger statusInt = [status intValue]; //change to int value
//here I want to change cell status in SQLite, but don't know how
//something with indexPath.row? valueForKey:#"status"???
}
}
}];
[request setFailedBlock:^
{
if ([self isViewLoaded])
{
[MBProgressHUD hideHUDForView:self.view animated:YES];
ShowErrorAlert(#"Error", [[request_b error] localizedDescription]);
}
}];
[request startAsynchronous];
}
Or it is better way to change status in my table view if apple notification didn't come or user didn't tap on notification message? Thanks
EDIT:
I don't know how to store data to NSManagedObject *device. Can you help me with this?
I try this, but it didn't works: (on place where you write)
NSInteger statusInt = [status intValue]; //change to int value
NSManagedObject *device = [self.devices objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
[device setValue:statusInt forKey:#"status"];
EDIT2:
I get it, but problem is with reload table data
NSString *responseString = [request_b responseString];
SBJsonParser *parser = [[SBJsonParser alloc] init];
NSDictionary *result = [parser objectWithString:responseString error:nil];
NSString *status = [result objectForKey:#"status"];
NSInteger statusInt = [status intValue]; //change to int value
NSManagedObject *device = [self.devices objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
[device setValue:statusInt forKey:#"status"]; //there is problem in save statusInt
// [device setValue:#5 forKey:#"status"]; //if I do this it is ok status is integer16 type
and second problem is in that reload table data. I put there this
[self.tableView reloadData]
but It reloading again and again in loop, what is wrong? I thing there is infinite loop, if I didn't reload table data changes will be visible in next app load. I think problem is that I call
- (void) getStatus:(NSString *)serialNumber atIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{}
in
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
}
Better should be in viewDidLoad or viewDidApper, but I don't know how make loop for all devices and call
[self getStatus:[device valueForKey:#"serialNumber"] atIndexPath:indexPath];
on that place.
EDIT3:
what if I do it like this:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[self updateData];
[self.tableView reloadData];
}
-(void)updateData
{
NSFetchRequest *request = [NSFetchRequest fetchRequestWithEntityName:#"Device"];
request.returnsDistinctResults = YES;
//request.resultType = NSDictionaryResultType;
request.propertiesToFetch = #[#"serialNumber"];
NSArray *fetchedObjects = [self.managedObjectContext
executeFetchRequest:request error:nil];
NSArray *result = [fetchedObjects valueForKeyPath:#"serialNumber"];
//there I get all serialNumbers of my devices and than I call method getStatus and get "new" status and than update it in Core Data.
}
Is that good way to solve this problem? I think better will be if I call getStatus method only one times and get array of statuses.
Maybe I can set all serialNubers in one variable ('xxx','yyyy','zzz') and on server do SELECT * FROM Devices WHERE serialNumber in (serialNuber).
Do you think this could work? I don't have experience how to take data from array to string like ('array_part1','array_part2'....)
Where in your code do you call [UITableView reloadData]?
You should call reloadData on your tableview once you have retrieved the new data from the server. As your server call is async the server call will run on a separate thread while the main thread continues, therefore I presume you have the following problem...
- (void) ...
{
[self getStatus:#"SERIAL_NUMBER"];
[self reloadData]; // This will be called before the async server call above has finished
}
Therefore you are reloading the original data and therefore the new data, which may have loaded a few seconds after, wont be shown.
To fix this, adjust the [getStatus:] method to call the [UITableView reloadData] method on server response.
[request setCompletionBlock:^
{
if([self isViewLoaded])
{
[MBProgressHUD hideHUDForView:self.view animated:YES];
if([request_b responseStatusCode] != 200)
{
ShowErrorAlert(#"Comunication error", #"There was an error communicating with the server");
}
else
{
NSString *responseString = [request_b responseString];
SBJsonParser *parser = [[SBJsonParser alloc] init];
NSDictionary *result = [parser objectWithString:responseString error:nil];
status = [result objectForKey:#"status"];
NSInteger statusInt = [status intValue]; //change to int value
// Store the server response in NSManagedObject *device,
// which will be used as the data source in the tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath: method
// Once stored, check the tableview isn't NULL and therefore can be accessed
// As this call is async the tableview may have been removed and therefore
// a call to it will crash
if(tableView != NULL)
{
[tableView reloadData];
}
}
}
}];
ASIHTTPRequest is also no longer supported by the developers, I suggest you look into AFNetworking.
Update
In response to the problem you are now having with setting the statusInt within the device NSManagedObject
NSManagedObject *device = [self.devices objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
[device setValue:statusInt forKey:#"status"]; //there is problem in save statusInt
This is caused as statusInt is an NSInteger which is a primary datatype and not an NSObject as expected by [NSManagedObject setValue:forKey:]. From the documentation for [NSManagedObject setValue:forKey:], the methods expected parameters are as follows.
- (void)setValue:(id)value forKey:(NSString *)key
Therefore you need to pass, in this case, an NSNumber. The problem with NSInteger is that it's simply a dynamic typedef for the largest int datatype based on the current system. From NSInteger's implementation you can see the abstraction.
#if __LP64__
typedef long NSInteger;
#else
typedef int NSInteger;
#endif
If your current system is 64-bit it will use the larger long datatype.
Now, technically the returned status value from the server can be stored as it is without any conversion as an NSString. When you need to retrieve and use the primary datatype of int you can use the [NSString intValue] method you have already used.
Although it's best practice to use a NSNumberFormatter which can be useful for locale based number adjustments and ensuring no invalid characters are present.
NSString *status = [result objectForKey:#"status"];
NSNumberFormatter * f = [[NSNumberFormatter alloc] init];
NSNumber * statusNumber = [f numberFromString:status];
NSManagedObject *device = [self.devices objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
[device setValue:statusNumber forKey:#"status"];
To retrieve the primary datatype when you wish to use the int within your code, simply call the [NSNumber intValue].
NSNumber *statusNumber = [device objectForKey:#"status"];
int statusInt = [statusNumber intValue];
As for the problem you are having with the infinite loop, this is caused by called [... getStatus:atIndexPath:], which contains the method call reloadData, from within [UITableView tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath:].
This is because reloadData actually calls [UITableView tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath:].
Therefore your code continuously goes as the following...
Initial UITableView data load -> tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath: -> getStatus:atIndexPath: -> Server Response -> reloadData -> tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath: -> getStatus:atIndexPath: -> Server Response -> reloadData -> ...
Unfortunately you cant just force one cell to update, you have to request the UITableView to reload all data using reloadData. Therefore, if possible, you need to adjust your server to return an unique ID for devices so you can adjust only the updated device within your NSManagedObject.
A suggested alteration for the getStatus method could be just to use the serialNumber if this is stored within the NSManagedObject as a key.
- (void) getStatus:(NSString*)serialNumber
