Xml parser function never gets called - ios

Question

I'm currently working with swift and trying to make and RSS reader iOS iPhone app. I'm currently having trouble with calling the parser function. I'm really trying to replicate what I developed in Objective-C (which works well) with Swift.
This is my tableView.swift class
import UIKit
class FeedTableViewController: UITableViewController, NSXMLParserDelegate {
var parser: NSXMLParser = NSXMLParser()
var feeds: NSMutableArray = []
var fItem = Dictionary<String, Float>()
var fTitle: String = String()
var element: String = String()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
var url: NSURL = NSURL.URLWithString("http://feeds.feedburner.com/TouchCodeMagazine")
parser = NSXMLParser(contentsOfURL: url)
parser.delegate = self
parser.shouldResolveExternalEntities = false
parser.parse()
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
}
// #pragma mark - Table view data source
override func numberOfSectionsInTableView(tableView: UITableView?) -> Int {
return 1
}
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView?, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return feeds.count
}
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView?, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath?) -> UITableViewCell? {
let CellId: NSString = "Cell"
var cell: UITableViewCell = tableView?.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier(CellId) as UITableViewCell
if let ip = indexPath {
cell.textLabel.text = "hello\(ip.row)"
}
return cell
}
// This function is never called.
func parser(parser: NSXMLParser!, didStartElement elementName: String!, nameSpaceURI namespaceURI: String!, qualifiedName: String!, attributes attributeDict: Dictionary<String, Float>) {
element = elementName
println(element) // This line is never executed.
}
}
I have set the NSXMLParserDelegate but still it never gets called.
Any idea on what I can do to get this working? This is all the code I have so far. Maybe I need to import e certain framework?

Answer 1

Try:
func parser(parser: NSXMLParser!, didStartElement elementName: String!, namespaceURI: String!, qualifiedName: String!, attributes: Dictionary<String, Float>) {
println(elementName) // This line is never executed.
}
Correction: Actually, it's not the last parameter, it's the spelling of namespaceURI vs. nameSpaceURI in your original.
