Only First Item is Added to Array - ios

I have a for loop that goes through an array of tweets I get from the Twitter API. As long as the coordinates for each tweet are not null, an annotation is created with the screen_name from the tweet as the title and the coordinates of the tweet. Each annotation is added to an array and when the loop is finished, the annotations from that array are added to a map view. My issue is that only the first tweet is getting added as an annotation. What am I missing?
STTwitterAPI *twitter = [STTwitterAPI twitterAPIAppOnlyWithConsumerKey:#"key" consumerSecret:#"secret"];
[twitter verifyCredentialsWithSuccessBlock:^(NSString *username) {
[twitter getSearchTweetsWithQuery:#"apple" geocode:geoCode lang:nil locale:nil resultType:#"recent" count:#"10" until:nil sinceID:nil maxID:nil includeEntities:nil callback:nil successBlock:^(NSDictionary *searchMetadata, NSArray *statuses) {
tweetsArray = [NSMutableArray arrayWithArray:statuses];
NSLog(#"tweetsArray: %#", tweetsArray);
for (int i = 0; i < [tweetsArray count]; i++) {
NSDictionary *t = tweetsArray[i];
tweetAnnotation = [[MKPointAnnotation alloc]init];
NSArray *tweetLocation = [[t valueForKey:#"geo"]valueForKey:#"coordinates"];
NSLog(#"Tweet Location: %#", tweetLocation);
if ([tweetLocation isEqual:[NSNull null]]) {
continue;
}
else {
double lat = [[tweetLocation objectAtIndex:0]doubleValue];
double longitude = [[tweetLocation objectAtIndex:1]doubleValue];
locationCoord.latitude = lat;
locationCoord.longitude = longitude;
NSLog(#"Lat: %.8f, Long: %.8f", lat, longitude);
twitterName = [t valueForKeyPath:#"user.screen_name"];
NSLog(#"Twitter name: %#", twitterName);
tweetAnnotation.title = twitterName;
tweetAnnotation.coordinate = locationCoord;
[tweetLocationsArray addObject:tweetAnnotation];
}

[tweetMap addAnnotations:tweetLocationsArray];

STTwitterAPI to pull number of tweets,followers and following?

I am trying to create a profile inside my application to show only his twitter profile. So far I do have the time line working but I don't have the number counter for the tweets,followers and following. I'm pretty sure I can use something what my code looks like but just don't know how, any help? Thanks
Code:
STTwitterAPI *twitter = [STTwitterAPI twitterAPIAppOnlyWithConsumerKey:#"ConsumerKey"
consumerSecret:#"consumerSecret"];
[twitter verifyCredentialsWithSuccessBlock:^(NSString *bearerToken) {
[twitter getUserTimelineWithScreenName:#"MikesiOSHelp"
successBlock:^(NSArray *statuses) {
self.twitterFeed = [NSMutableArray arrayWithArray:statuses];
[self->tableView reloadData];
} errorBlock:^(NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"%#", error.debugDescription);
}];
} errorBlock:^(NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"%#", error.debugDescription);

Get latitude and longitude based on Address using Geocoder class in iOS

I got the current location based on the Longitude and Latitude values and then I also got multiple places on google map using Annotation. Now I want to get the longitude and latitude values based on the Address( i.e street,city and county).Need some guidance on how this can be achieved.
Till now, this is what I have tried:-
#import "ViewController.h"
#interface ViewController ()
#end
#implementation ViewController
#synthesize streetField = _streetField, cityField = _cityField, countryField = _countryField, fetchCoordinatesButton = _fetchCoordinatesButton, nameLabel = _nameLabel, coordinatesLabel = _coordinatesLabel;
#synthesize geocoder = _geocoder;
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
_streetField.delegate=self;
_cityField.delegate=self;
_countryField.delegate=self;
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
}
- (IBAction)fetchCoordinates:(id)sender {
NSLog(#"Fetch Coordinates");
if (!self.geocoder) {
NSLog(#"Geocdoing");
self.geocoder = [[CLGeocoder alloc] init];
}
NSString *address = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%# %# %#", self.streetField.text, self.cityField.text, self.countryField.text];
NSLog(#"GET Addres%#",address);
self.fetchCoordinatesButton.enabled = NO;
[self.geocoder geocodeAddressString:address completionHandler:^(NSArray *placemarks, NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"Fetch Gecodingaddress");
if ([placemarks count] > 0) {
CLPlacemark *placemark = [placemarks objectAtIndex:0];
NSLog(#"GET placemark%#",placemark);
CLLocation *location = placemark.location;
NSLog(#"GET location%#",location);
CLLocationCoordinate2D coordinate = location.coordinate;
self.coordinatesLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%f, %f", coordinate.latitude, coordinate.longitude];
NSLog(#"CoordinatesLabel%#",self.coordinatesLabel.text);
if ([placemark.areasOfInterest count] > 0) {
NSString *areaOfInterest = [placemark.areasOfInterest objectAtIndex:0];
self.nameLabel.text = areaOfInterest;
NSLog(#"NameLabe%#",self.nameLabel.text);
}
}
self.fetchCoordinatesButton.enabled = YES;
}];
}
- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
{
[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
-(BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField
{
[textField resignFirstResponder];
return YES;
}
#end
Above code is not working to give me the latitude and longitude.Need some help on what am I doing wrong here or if I am missing on something.
Thanks in Advance.
This was very old answer, Kindly check with new Updates
EDIT:
Before using this check with iOS8 updation
NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription
NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription
This is for getting lat and long based user area like street name,state name,country.
-(CLLocationCoordinate2D) getLocationFromAddressString: (NSString*) addressStr {
double latitude = 0, longitude = 0;
NSString *esc_addr = [addressStr stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSString *req = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"http://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/json?sensor=false&address=%#", esc_addr];
NSString *result = [NSString stringWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:req] encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:NULL];
if (result) {
NSScanner *scanner = [NSScanner scannerWithString:result];
if ([scanner scanUpToString:#"\"lat\" :" intoString:nil] && [scanner scanString:#"\"lat\" :" intoString:nil]) {
[scanner scanDouble:&latitude];
if ([scanner scanUpToString:#"\"lng\" :" intoString:nil] && [scanner scanString:#"\"lng\" :" intoString:nil]) {
[scanner scanDouble:&longitude];
}
}
}
CLLocationCoordinate2D center;
center.latitude=latitude;
center.longitude = longitude;
NSLog(#"View Controller get Location Logitute : %f",center.latitude);
NSLog(#"View Controller get Location Latitute : %f",center.longitude);
return center;
}
call the method like this in viewdidload method or somewhere according to your project
[self getLocationFromAddressString:#"chennai"];
just pass this in your browser
http://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/json?sensor=false&address=chennai
and you will have json format with lat and lon
http://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/json?sensor=false&address=#"your city name here"
NSString *address = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"http://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/json?sensor=false&address=%# %# %#", self.streetField.text, self.cityField.text, self.countryField.text];
the usage of this method....
CLLocationCoordinate2D center;
center=[self getLocationFromAddressString:#"uthangarai"];
double latFrom=&center.latitude;
double lonFrom=&center.longitude;
NSLog(#"View Controller get Location Logitute : %f",latFrom);
NSLog(#"View Controller get Location Latitute : %f",lonFrom);
Someone looking for Swift 2.0 solution can use below :
let address = "1 Infinite Loop, CA, USA"
let geocoder = CLGeocoder()
geocoder.geocodeAddressString(address, completionHandler: {(placemarks, error) -> Void in
if((error) != nil){
print("Error", error)
}
if let placemark = placemarks?.first {
let coordinates:CLLocationCoordinate2D = placemark.location!.coordinate
coordinates.latitude
coordinates.longitude
print("lat", coordinates.latitude)
print("long", coordinates.longitude)
}
})
Try this,
NSString *address = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#,%#,%#", self.streetField.text, self.cityField.text,self.countryField.text];
[self.geocoder geocodeAddressString:address completionHandler:^(NSArray *placemarks, NSError *error)
{
if(!error)
{
CLPlacemark *placemark = [placemarks objectAtIndex:0];
NSLog(#"%f",placemark.location.coordinate.latitude);
NSLog(#"%f",placemark.location.coordinate.longitude);
NSLog(#"%#",[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",[placemark description]]);
}
else
{
NSLog(#"There was a forward geocoding error\n%#",[error localizedDescription]);
}
}
];
Swift
public func getLocationFromAddress(address : String) -> CLLocationCoordinate2D {
var lat : Double = 0.0
var lon : Double = 0.0
do {
let url = String(format: "https://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/json?sensor=false&address=%#", (address.addingPercentEncoding(withAllowedCharacters: .urlPathAllowed)!))
let result = try Data(contentsOf: URL(string: url)!)
let json = JSON(data: result)
lat = json["results"][0]["geometry"]["location"]["lat"].doubleValue
lon = json["results"][0]["geometry"]["location"]["lng"].doubleValue
}
catch let error{
print(error)
}
return CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: lat, longitude: lon)
}
I used SwiftyJSON but you can parse the JSON response however you want
- (IBAction)forwardButton:(id)sender
{
if([self.address.text length])
{
NSString *place = self.address.text;
CLGeocoder *geocoder = [[CLGeocoder alloc] init];
__unsafe_unretained RTGeoCoderViewController *weakSelf = self;
[geocoder geocodeAddressString:place completionHandler:^(NSArray* placemarks, NSError* error)
{
NSLog(#"completed");
if ( error )
{
NSLog(#"error = %#", error );
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(),
^{
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Error" message:[self errorMessage:error.code] delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles:#"OK", nil];
[alert show];
});
}
else
{
NSLog(#"%#",placemarks);
}
}];
}
}
Try this
- (void)getAddressFromAdrress:(NSString *)address withCompletationHandle:(void (^)(NSDictionary *))completationHandler {
CLGeocoder *geoCoder = [[CLGeocoder alloc] init];
//Get the address through geoCoder
[geoCoder geocodeAddressString:address completionHandler:^(NSArray *placemarks, NSError *error) {
if ([placemarks count] > 0 && !error) {
//get the address from placemark
CLPlacemark *placemark = [placemarks objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *locatedAt = [[placemark.addressDictionary valueForKey:#"FormattedAddressLines"] componentsJoinedByString:#", "];
CLLocation *location = placemark.location;
CLLocationCoordinate2D coordinate = location.coordinate;
_latitudeUserLocation = coordinate.latitude;
_longitudeUserLocation = coordinate.longitude;
NSString *postalCode = placemark.addressDictionary[(NSString*)kABPersonAddressZIPKey];
if (postalCode == nil) postalCode = #"";
if (locatedAt == nil) locatedAt = #"";
NSDictionary *dictionary = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
postalCode ,kPostalCode,
locatedAt ,kFullAddress,
nil];
completationHandler(dictionary);
} else {
completationHandler(nil);
}
}];
}

iOS Parse GeoPoints & MapBox Shapes

So i am wondering how to go about retrieving Parse coordinates and drawing a shape using MapBox.
I can retrieve the coordinates and plot them individually (using PARSE) on a map fine:
PFQuery *locationQuery = [PFQuery queryWithClassName:#"Location"];
[locationQuery whereKeyExists:#"location"];
locationQuery.cachePolicy = kPFCachePolicyNetworkElseCache;
[locationQuery findObjectsInBackgroundWithBlock:^(NSArray *objects, NSError *error) {
if (!error) {
// The find succeeded.
NSLog(#"Successfully retrieved %lu scores.", (unsigned long)objects.count);
NSLog(#"Object is %# and %#", [objects objectAtIndex:0],[objects objectAtIndex:1]);
for (PFObject *gp in objects) {
//How to get PFGeoPoint and then a location out of an object
PFGeoPoint *location = [gp objectForKey:#"location"];
NSLog(#"Hi there my name is: %f", location.latitude);
CLLocationCoordinate2D coordinate = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(location.latitude, location.longitude);
//This is how to populate the data with a title
NSString *title = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#", gp.createdAt];
RMPointAnnotation *annotation3 = [[RMPointAnnotation alloc] initWithMapView:mapView coordinate:coordinate andTitle:title];
[mapView addAnnotation:annotation3];
}
} else {
// Log details of the failure
NSLog(#"Error: %# %#", error, [error userInfo]);
}
}];
Adding a shape to a map (using MapBox) is doable as well:
//Line for streets location arrays, etc MapBox
NSArray *locations = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:[[CLLocation alloc] initWithLatitude:-33.980852 longitude:151.072498],
[[CLLocation alloc] initWithLatitude:-33.981769 longitude:151.072300],
[[CLLocation alloc] initWithLatitude:-33.982018 longitude:151.072257],
[[CLLocation alloc] initWithLatitude:-33.982187 longitude:151.072225], nil, nil];
RMAnnotation *annoation43 = [[RMAnnotation alloc] initWithMapView:mapView coordinate:((CLLocation *)[locations
objectAtIndex:0]).coordinate andTitle:#"Hola biatches!"];
annoation43.userInfo = locations;
[annoation43 setBoundingBoxFromLocations:locations];
[mapView addAnnotation:annoation43];
NSLog(#"It is working Dora!");
-(RMMapLayer *)mapView:(RMMapView *)mapViewer layerForAnnotation:(RMAnnotation *)annotation {
if (annotation.isUserLocationAnnotation)
return nil;
RMShape *shape = [[RMShape alloc] initWithView:mapView];
//Line dashes and colours and widths, etc
shape.lineColor = [UIColor orangeColor];
shape.lineWidth = 4.0;
shape.scaleLineWidth = YES;
shape.scaleLineDash = YES;
shape.lineDashLengths = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:[NSNumber numberWithInt:4], [NSNumber numberWithInt:6], nil];
shape.lineDashPhase = 3.0f;
for (CLLocation *location in (NSArray *)annotation.userInfo)
[shape addLineToCoordinate:location.coordinate];
return shape;
}
I am wondering how i would get MapBox to draw a shape from these coordinates? I have had a few attempts and am getting nowhere so someone with a better mind than i would be greatly appreciated. If you need any more information let me know.
I figured it out - my solution i was attempting was fine - i was initialising the array WITHIN the loop and so it was recreating the array each time and so was overwriting each new coordinate and trying to draw a shape using only one coordinate.
PFQuery *locationQuery2 = [PFQuery queryWithClassName:#"Location"];
[locationQuery2 whereKeyExists:#"location"];
locationQuery2.limit = 4;
locationQuery2.cachePolicy = kPFCachePolicyNetworkElseCache;
[locationQuery2 findObjectsInBackgroundWithBlock:^(NSArray *objects, NSError *error) {
if (!error) {
// The find succeeded.
NSLog(#"Successfully retrieved %lu scores.", (unsigned long)objects.count);
NSLog(#"Object is %# and %#", [objects objectAtIndex:0],[objects objectAtIndex:1]);
NSMutableArray *locations = [[[NSMutableArray alloc] init] mutableCopy];
for (PFObject *gp in objects) {
//How to get PFGeoPoint and then a location out of an object
PFGeoPoint *location = [gp objectForKey:#"location"];
NSLog(#"Hi there my name is not: %f", location.latitude);
CLLocation *coordinate = [[CLLocation alloc] initWithLatitude:location.latitude longitude:location.longitude];
//Line for streets location arrays, etc MapBox
[locations addObject:coordinate];
RMAnnotation *annoation43 = [[RMAnnotation alloc] initWithMapView:mapView coordinate:((CLLocation *)[locations objectAtIndex:0]).coordinate andTitle:#"Hola biatches!"];
annoation43.userInfo = locations;
[annoation43 setBoundingBoxFromLocations:locations];
[mapView addAnnotation:annoation43];
NSLog(#"It is working Dora!");
NSLog(#"Yeah its is: %#", locations);
}
} else {
// Log details of the failure
NSLog(#"Error: %# %#", error, [error userInfo]);
}
}];

Adding mapview annotations within parse query returns null randomly

I am creating an iOS app using Parse database(asynchronously) to store information that will be used when populating a mapview. I have been trying to figure out what is wrong for a long time and have done plenty of research without any luck. I have, however, found the source of the issue.
In my code, I am querying the parse database in hopes of getting the information I want and then storing the information in a custom pointAnnotation class, which is of type MkPointAnnotation. Each item is stored in an array of pointAnnotations, and once all items in the database have been stored in the array, the annotations are added to MyMapView. --I have tried adding the annotations as they are created, which does not change anything.
The issue I have been having is that randomly, the query will iterate under the for(PFObject *vendor in Vendors) and reach an error, calling NSLog(#"%#", error.debugDescription); which shows (null) in the output log. The amount of objects that return null seems to change each time I run the application, and occasionally it will work as expected. After adding a do while(pointArray.count < query.countObjects), the function will iterate roughly 20-30 times and then will add the correct number of annotations, however, it is extremely inefficient.
Is this an inefficiency within Parse or is there a better way to achieve the expected results?
PFQuery *query = [PFQuery queryWithClassName:#"Vendors"];
[query orderByDescending:#"updatedAt"];
[query findObjectsInBackgroundWithBlock:^(NSArray *vendors, NSError *error){
NSMutableArray *pointArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];

// The find succeeded.

Thanks in advance for the help. I do not really understand why this code would not complete after only one iteration.
The NSLog(#"%#", error.debugDescription); doesn't look like it's in the right place. It's in an else block that is associated with the if (today <= newDate) which is inside a block of code that is only executed if error is null which is why it says null in the log (when what it really means is "today > newDate"). – Anna

Cannot AddObject to NSMutableArray from Block

I have a feeling that my problem here is really with blocking, but maybe it's something else too. I am trying to forward geocode an address and place the coordinates into an array to use later.
An exception is raised down at the bottom when I try to call on one of the objects I tried added to the array in the block. The exception also gets raised before any of the NSLogs ever print out within the block text.
What's the proper way to handle this? Thanks.
- (NSMutableArray *)convertAddressToGeocode:(NSString *)addressString
{
//return array with lat/lng
__block NSMutableArray *coordinates = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity:0];
CLGeocoder *geocoder = [[CLGeocoder alloc] init];
[geocoder geocodeAddressString:addressString
completionHandler:^ (NSArray* placemarks, NSError* error) {
for (CLPlacemark* aPlacemark in placemarks)
{
// Process the placemark.
if (error){
NSLog(#"Geocode failed with error: %#", error);
[self displayError:error];
return;
}

NSString *keylng = keys[1];

{
NSLog(#"location is nil.");
}

}}}}];
NSLog(#"Array: %#", coordinates[0]); //EXCEPTION RAISED HERE, Nothing ever gets added

}
Here is the code this method is supposed to be plugged into, but I'm not getting the coordinates out of convertAddresstoGeocode to pass to convertCoordinatestoRepModel:
- (BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField
{
NSString *addressToSearch = self.addressSearchField.text;
NSMutableArray *coordinateArray = [self convertAddressToGeocode:addressToSearch];
NSMutableArray *repModelArray = [self convertCoordinatesToRepModel:coordinateArray];
...
}
if geocodeAddressString is async operation than your block will be performed after
NSLog(#"Array: %#", coordinates[0]);
also, after call of your method ends (when event already handled) the coordinates array
released (it is because of __block modifier - blocks do not retain objects with __block modifier), and in your block you try to use dealloced coordinates array.
Once again:
Your block will be called after NSLog(#"Array: %#", coordinates[0]);
f.e.:
Remove NSLog(#"Array: %#", coordinates[0]); - it is normal that in that moment array is empty.
Store your coordinates array in some #property , you can release it after using in block

That should works!
- (BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField
{
NSString *addressToSearch = self.addressSearchField.text;
[self convertAddressToGeocode:addressToSearch callback:^(NSArray *coordinates)
{
self.textView.text = [coordinates objectAtIndex:0];
}];
}
__block NSMutableArray *coordinates = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity:0];
The problem is here; just replace the above code with:
NSMutableArray *coordinates = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
