Get values from a plist file in iOS - ios

Question

I am creating a Plist file as shown below
I want to list all the Items where level is 1 and I can only use accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark if level is 1. How can I do it.
I am loading my plist file here:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
countId = 0;
NSDictionary *dict=[[NSDictionary alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"Topic" ofType:#"plist"]];
self.items=[dict valueForKey:#"Items"];
self.itemsInTable=[[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
[self.itemsInTable addObjectsFromArray:self.items];
[self.menuTableView registerNib:[UINib nibWithNibName:NSStringFromClass([IndicatorTableViewCell class]) bundle:nil] forCellReuseIdentifier:NSStringFromClass([IndicatorTableViewCell class])];
UIBarButtonItem *myButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]
initWithTitle:#"Done"
style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain
target:self
action:#selector(doneSelection:)];
[self.navigationItem setRightBarButtonItem:myButton];
}
My code for cellForRowAtIndexpath:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
NSString *Title= [[self.itemsInTable objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] valueForKey:#"Name"];
return [self createCellWithTitle:Title image:[self.itemsInTable objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] indexPath:indexPath];
}
My code for didSelectRowAtIndexPath is :
-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
NSDictionary *dic=[self.itemsInTable objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
if([dic valueForKey:#"SubItems"])
{
NSArray *arr=[dic valueForKey:#"SubItems"];
BOOL isTableExpanded=NO;
for(NSDictionary *subitems in arr )
{
NSInteger index=[self.itemsInTable indexOfObjectIdenticalTo:subitems];
isTableExpanded=(index>0 && index!=NSIntegerMax);
if(isTableExpanded) break;
}
if(isTableExpanded)
{
[self CollapseRows:arr];
}
else
{
NSUInteger count=indexPath.row+1;
NSMutableArray *arrCells=[NSMutableArray array];
for(NSDictionary *dInner in arr )
{
[arrCells addObject:[NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:count inSection:0]];
[self.itemsInTable insertObject:dInner atIndex:count++];
}
[self.menuTableView insertRowsAtIndexPaths:arrCells withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationLeft];
}
}
if([[[dic valueForKey:#"SubItems"]objectAtIndex:0]objectForKey:#"level"])
{
// NSArray *arr=[dic valueForKey:#"SubItems"];
// if ([[arr objectAtIndex:0 ] intValue] == #"1")
{
UITableViewCell *cell = [self.tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
if (cell.accessoryType == UITableViewCellAccessoryNone)
{
if(countId <5)
{
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark;
countId = countId + 1;
}
else
{
UIAlertView *dialog;
dialog =[[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Alert Message"
message:#"Select maximum 5 countries"
delegate:self
cancelButtonTitle:#"Cancel"
otherButtonTitles:#"OK",nil];
[dialog show];
// NSLog(#"Greater then 5");
}
}
else
{
if(countId>0)
{
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryNone;
countId--;
}
else
{
//show alert
UIAlertView *dialog;
dialog =[[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Alert Message"
message:#"Select atleast 1 country"
delegate:self
cancelButtonTitle:#"Cancel"
otherButtonTitles:#"OK",nil];
[dialog show];
// NSLog(#"must choose 1");
}
}
// countId = [self.tableView indexPathsForSelectedRows].count;
[self.tableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:YES];
}
}
}
Please do reply. I am stuck here

Answer 1

To check level = 1 to add accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark try
-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
NSDictionary *itemDictionary = [self.itemsInTable objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
NSArray *subItems = [itemDictionary valueForKey:#"SubItems"];
NSDictionary *firstItem = subItems[0];
if ([[firstItem objectForKey:#"level"] integerValue] == 1) {
//Set appropriate accessory view here
} else {
//Check the cell accessory type and update this too
//This is to avoid wrong accessory view on cell reuse
}
}

You can use the following code to get the root object, then go from there:
NSDictionary *rootDict = [[NSBundle mainBundle] objectForInfoDictionaryKey:#"Root"];
