UITableView not loading JSON data - ios

Question

I am developing a app that will load remote data in a UITableView but when I run it, it shows nothing. Please view and help me to debug it. Thanks
Json outPut
{
"emp_info" = (
(
1,
firstname_one,
lastname_one,
"abcd#xyz",
"500 B3 abc Town"
),
(
2,
firstname_two,
lastname_two,
"abcd#xyz",
"500 B3 abc Town"
),
(
18,
firstname_three,
lastname_three,
"abcd#xyz",
"500 B3 abc Town"
)
);
}
And .m file
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
statuses=[[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
NSURL *myURL = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://abcd.com/My_php/result.php"];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:myURL cachePolicy:NSURLRequestReloadIgnoringLocalCacheData timeoutInterval:60];
[NSURLConnection sendAsynchronousRequest:request queue:[NSOperationQueue mainQueue]
completionHandler:^(NSURLResponse *response, NSData *data, NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"Finished with status code: %i", [(NSHTTPURLResponse *)response statusCode]);
id jsonObject = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:data options:NSJSONReadingAllowFragments error:nil];
NSLog(#"jsonObject=%#",jsonObject);
statuses=[jsonObject mutableCopy];
[self.theTableView reloadData];
}];
NSLog(#"myURL=%#",myURL);
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
NSLog(#"%d",[statuses count]);
return [statuses count];
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil)
{
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] ;
}
id obj = [statuses objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.textLabel.text =[obj valueForKey:#"Title"];
return cell;
}
And when I compile it. it shows nothing in the table infect doesn't even show the table itself.

Answer 1

You should get NSArray contains NSArrays from NSDictionary from JSON:
[NSURLConnection sendAsynchronousRequest:request queue:[NSOperationQueue mainQueue]
completionHandler:^(NSURLResponse *response, NSData *data, NSError *error)
{
...
// This Array contains arrays
statuses=[jsonObject[#"emp_info"] mutableCopy];
[self.theTableView reloadData];
}];
In cellForRowAtIndexPath, get value from this NSArray:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
...
// this is an NSArray, not an NSDictionary:
NSArray *obj = [statuses objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.textLabel.text = obj[1]; // just my example
}

Answer 2

Your data is a dictionary containing an array.
If you want just the array, get the array from the value object returned by the json parser:
statuses=[[jsonObject valueForKey:#"emp_info"] mutableCopy];
