NSMutableArray can't add object from JSONModelArray? - ios

Question

I have a NSMutableArray and adding objects to it as below:
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
array = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
[array addObject:#"Apple"];
[array addObject:#"Orange"];
[array addObject:#"Mango"];
[array addObject:#"Banana"];
But when I try to add object from JSONModelArray still showing the above 4 object only.
Here is JSONModelArray code:
//fetch the feed
_collectionBusinessFeeds = [[CollectionBusinessManager alloc] initFromURLWithString:#"http://localhost:8888/json/collectionBusinessFinal.json"
completion:^(JSONModel *model, JSONModelError *err) {
for(NSDictionary *item in _collectionBusinessFeeds.collectionBusinesses){
NSLog(#"%#",item);
NSString *title = [item valueForKey:#"name"];
[array addObject:title];
NSLog(#"%#",array);
// here array is printing all the objects with the above 4 objects
}
}];
But return array here below only showing above 4 objects not the all the objects added from JSONModelArray.
-(NSInteger) collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView numberOfItemsInSection:(NSInteger)section{
return [array count];
// only showing 4 above obects like Apple, Banana...
}
Here is my full implementation file:
#import "CollectionViewController.h"
#import "AccordionViewController.h"
#import "JSONModelLib.h"
#import "CollectionBusinessManager.h"
#import "HUD.h"
#interface CollectionViewController (){
CollectionBusinessManager* _collectionBusinessFeeds;
}
#end
#implementation CollectionViewController
NSMutableArray* array;
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
array = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
[array addObject:#"Apple"];
[array addObject:#"Orange"];
[array addObject:#"Mango"];
[array addObject:#"Banana"];
//show loader view
[HUD showUIBlockingIndicatorWithText:#"Fetching JSON"];
//fetch the feed
_collectionBusinessFeeds = [[CollectionBusinessManager alloc] initFromURLWithString:#"http://localhost:8888/json/collectionBusinessFinal.json"
completion:^(JSONModel *model, JSONModelError *err) {
//hide the loader view
[HUD hideUIBlockingIndicator];
[self.v reloadData];
NSLog(#"%#", _collectionBusinessFeeds.collectionBusinesses);
for(NSDictionary *item in _collectionBusinessFeeds.collectionBusinesses){
NSLog(#"%#",item);
NSString *title = [item valueForKey:#"name"];
[array addObject:[title copy]];
NSLog(#"%#",array);
}
}];
}

}

UILabel *label = (UILabel *) [cell viewWithTag:100];
label.text = [array objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.backgroundColor = [self randomColor];
return cell;
}
-(void)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView didDeselectItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
AccordionViewController *detailVC = [[AccordionViewController alloc] init];
detailVC.passParam= [array objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
detailVC.title = detailVC.passParam;
[self.navigationController pushViewController:detailVC animated:YES];
}

can anybody help me?
Update:
at last it solved my problem adding the property like below:
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UICollectionView *collectionView;
[self.collectionView reloadData];

Answer 1

For what you are describing, it seems like the fetch is being called after the collection view has calculated the number of items. You have to reload the collection view after fetching your new results.

// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
self.array = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];

[self.array addObject:#"Mango"];
[self.array addObject:#"Banana"];
But when I try to add object from JSONModelArray still showing the above 4 object only.
Here is JSONModelArray code:
//fetch the feed
__weak typeof(self) weakSelf = self;
_collectionBusinessFeeds = [[CollectionBusinessManager alloc] initFromURLWithString:#"http://localhost:8888/json/collectionBusinessFinal.json"
completion:^(JSONModel *model, JSONModelError *err) {
for(NSDictionary *item in _collectionBusinessFeeds.collectionBusinesses){
NSLog(#"%#",item);
NSString *title = [item valueForKey:#"name"];
[weakSelf.array addObject:title];
NSLog(#"%#", weakSelf.array);
// here array is printing all the objects with the above 4 objects
}
}];
Old Answer
If you add __block to your array initialisation it must works.
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
__block NSMutableArray *array = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
[array addObject:#"Apple"];
[array addObject:#"Orange"];
[array addObject:#"Mango"];
[array addObject:#"Banana"];
But when I try to add object from JSONModelArray still showing the above 4 object only.
Here is JSONModelArray code:
//fetch the feed
_collectionBusinessFeeds = [[CollectionBusinessManager alloc] initFromURLWithString:#"http://localhost:8888/json/collectionBusinessFinal.json"
completion:^(JSONModel *model, JSONModelError *err) {
for(NSDictionary *item in _collectionBusinessFeeds.collectionBusinesses){
NSLog(#"%#",item);
NSString *title = [item valueForKey:#"name"];
[array addObject:title];
NSLog(#"%#",array);
// here array is printing all the objects with the above 4 objects
}
}];

Answer 3

//fetch the feed
_collectionBusinessFeeds = [[CollectionBusinessManager alloc] initFromURLWithString:#"http://localhost:8888/json/collectionBusinessFinal.json"
completion:^(JSONModel *model, JSONModelError *err) {
for(NSDictionary *item in _collectionBusinessFeeds.collectionBusinesses){
NSLog(#"%#",item);
NSString *title = [item valueForKey:#"name"];
[array addObject:title];
[collectionView reloadData];
NSLog(#"%#",array);
}
}];
I have edited code, please check above code.
