Save NSMutableArray of NSStrings to disk - ios

Question

I have a NSMutableaArray of NSString objects. So i'm using NSKeyedArchiever to save it to disk. So when i try to use
- (void)encodeWithCoder:(NSCoder *)aCoder {
[aCoder encodeObject:self.EventsList forKey:#"Events"];
}
i got an error
Event encodeWithCoder:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x7fd06b542780
Here's my parts of code:
//-------------------Events.h--------------------------
#interface Event : NSObject
#property (strong,nonatomic) NSString *nameOfEvent;
#property (strong,nonatomic) NSString *dateOfEvent;
#property (strong,nonatomic) NSString *placeOfEvent;
#property int priorityOfEvent;
#end
//---------------Singleton.h ----------------
#interface GlobalSingleton : NSObject <NSCoding, NSCopying> {
NSMutableArray *EventsList;
}
#property (nonatomic,retain) NSMutableArray *EventsList;
+(GlobalSingleton *)sharedFavoritesSingleton;
#end
//----------------Singleton.m------------------------
....
#implementation GlobalSingleton
#synthesize EventsList;
....
....
- (void)encodeWithCoder:(NSCoder *)aCoder {
NSLog (#"%#",EventsList); // not nil
[aCoder encodeObject:self.EventsList forKey:#"Events"];
}
- (id)initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)aDecoder {
if ((self = [super init])) {
NSMutableArray *temp = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithArray:[aDecoder decodeObjectForKey:#"Events"]];
self.EventsList = temp;
}
return self;
}
- (id)copyWithZone:(NSZone *)zone {
GlobalSingleton *copy = [[GlobalSingleton allocWithZone:zone] init];
copy.EventsList = self.EventsList;
return copy;
}
#end
I get textdata from Web-server using ASIFormDataRequest in JSON format, and then i add this object to NSMutableArray, which is also a Singleton, so it looks like this:
NSDictionary *responseDict = [responseString JSONValue];
GlobalSingleton *Singleton = [GlobalSingleton sharedFavoritesSingleton];
for (NSDictionary *str in responseDict) {
Event *newEvent = [[Event alloc] init];
newEvent.nameOfEvent = [str objectForKey:#"EventName"];
newEvent.dateOfEvent = [str objectForKey:#"EventDate"];
newEvent.placeOfEvent = [str objectForKey:#"EventPlace"];
[Singleton.EventsList addObject:newEvent];
}
//------------------Save this data stored in NSMutableArray to disk-------------------------
[NSKeyedArchiver archiveRootObject:Singleton toFile:[self save_path]];
So, again, execution stops on this:
[aCoder encodeObject:self.EventsList forKey:#"Events"];
But when i try to code single NSString object everything goes with no errors.

Answer 1

eventList doesn't contain NSStrings, it contains Event objects.
Your Event class needs to implement encodeWithCoder: - as the exception message says, the Event class doesn't implement this method.
Also you should use a lowercase s for singleton as it is an instance, not a class, and you should probably not use singletons.
