French accents on cell.detailTextLabel in UITableView (Objective-C) - ios

I have a problem I can't deal with.
In my application, I get datas from my Web Service in JSON. It's UTF8-encoded and when I fill an UITableView everything is ok (NSLog return accents like : "\u00e9" but my UITableView shows it like : "é").
But when I set the same data in my detailTextLabel, it doesn't convert "\u00e9" to "é" ...
Tried some tricks with encoding, but nothing convincing.
Parsing methods :
- (NSDictionary*)fetchedData:(NSData *)responseData {
NSError* error;
self.json = [NSJSONSerialization
JSONObjectWithData:responseData
options:kNilOptions
error:&error];
return self.json;
}
-(void)executeParsingWithUrl:(NSURL*)anUrl{
NSMutableURLRequest *urlRequest = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:anUrl];
NSString *authStr = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#:%#",[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] stringForKey:#"username_ws"], [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] stringForKey:#"password_ws"]];
NSData *authData = [authStr dataUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];
NSString *authValue = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"Basic %#", [Base64 encode:authData]];
[urlRequest setValue:authValue forHTTPHeaderField:#"Authorization"];
NSError *requestError = NULL;
NSHTTPURLResponse *response = NULL;
NSData *responseData = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:urlRequest returningResponse:&response error:&requestError];
[self performSelectorOnMainThread:#selector(fetchedData:)
withObject:responseData waitUntilDone:YES];
}
Recuperation :
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue( DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, 0), ^{
JsonParsing *getJson = [[JsonParsing alloc] init];
[getJson executeParsingWithUrl: leUrl];
self.duration = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",[[getJson.json objectForKey:#"objects"]valueForKey:#"libel"]];
});
Thanks in advance !

I managed it thanks to other people.
I my cell.detailTextLabel I used this :
cell.detailTextLabel.text = [NSString stringWithCString:[myText cStringUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding] encoding:NSNonLossyASCIIStringEncoding];

Adding Rotten Tomates API to iphone app

Im trying to add Rotten Tomatoes API to my app but it doesn't seem to like it? What am I doing wrong?? The error says "Data Argument not used by format string"
-(void)main {
NSLog(#"Service has run");
NSString *api_key = #"j4jz49tvf76cmnb4mwfyjvyt";
NSString *search_term = [searchTerm stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];
NSString *url = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"http://api.rottentomatoes.com/api/public/v1.0/lists/movies/box_office.json?limit=16&country=us&apikey=j4jz49tvf76cmnb4mwfyjvyt", api_key, search_term];
NSURLRequest *theRequest=[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:url]
cachePolicy:NSURLRequestUseProtocolCachePolicy timeoutInterval:60.0];
NSData *responseData = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:theRequest returningResponse:nil error:nil];
if (responseData !=nil) {
NSError *error =nil;
NSDictionary* json = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:responseData
options:kNilOptions error:&error];
if (error) {
[delegate serviceFinished:self withError:YES];
} else {
results = (NSArray *) [json valueForKey:#"movies"];
[delegate serviceFinished:self withError:NO];
}
} else {
[delegate serviceFinished:self withError:YES];
}
}
#end
Your error is on this line
NSString *url = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"http://api.rottentomatoes.com/api/public/v1.0/lists/movies/box_office.json?limit=16&country=us&apikey=j4jz49tvf76cmnb4mwfyjvyt", api_key, search_term];
String with format works with adding a data argument like %# in a string as a placeholder, and then replacing that with the following arguments in your method call.
What you want to do is probably something like:
NSString *url = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"http://api.rottentomatoes.com/api/public/v1.0/lists/movies/box_office.json?limit=16&country=us&apikey=%#&search_term=%#", api_key, search_term];

Load data from MySQL in iOS app

Good morning,
How can I load a MySQL query result into a UILabel in my iOS app? I need to display the name of the user, the followers and also the profile image. How can I do that?
I have created the storyboard with the UILabels and the UIImageView but now I need to load the data from my MySQL database and I'm a little bit lost.
Thanks in advance.
You can get data with JSON.
NSMutableURLRequest * requestTransfer;
NSString *strUrl = #"www.yoursite.com/Mobile/GetUser";
requestTransfer = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:strUrl]
cachePolicy:NSURLRequestReloadIgnoringCacheData timeoutInterval:60];
[requestTransfer setValue:#"gzip" forHTTPHeaderField:#"Accept-Encoding"];
[requestTransfer setHTTPMethod:#"POST"];
NSHTTPURLResponse * response;
NSError* error = nil;
response = nil;
NSData * data = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:requestTransfer returningResponse:&response error:&error];
NSDictionary *dicUsers = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:data options:kNilOptions error:&error];
You can use dictionary like that.
NSString* strID = [dictionary objectForKey:#"UserID"];
NSString* strName = [dictionary objectForKey:#"UserName"];
NSString* strLink = [dictionary objectForKey:#"ImageLink"];
yourlabel.text = strName;

JSON and XML Wrapper for Parsing in iOS

I have seen that most data in iOS is in either JSON or XML. I was interested to know whether there is any third party library or wrapper class that tackles both types of data and responses accordingly. I know I could use for example JSONKit for JSON data and NSXMLParser for XML. But i looking for one that tackles both.
Is there any such wrapper?
Welcome to any suggestions and guidance. Thanks.
I think It's support to JSON /XML,just can you change some line.
NSString *str1=#"type url";
NSString *poststr1 = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",str1];
NSString *posturl1=[NSString stringWithFormat:#" your url json/xml"];
// NSLog(#"city url name %#",posturl1);
NSURL *url=[NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",posturl1]];
NSData *postData1 = [poststr1 dataUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding allowLossyConversion:YES];
NSString *postLength = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d", [postData1 length]];
NSMutableURLRequest *request =[[[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init] autorelease];
[request setHTTPBody:postData1];
[request setURL:url];
[request setHTTPMethod:#"POST"];
[request setValue:postLength forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Length"];
[request setValue:#"application/x-www-form-urlencoded" forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Type"];
NSError *error;
NSURLResponse *response;
NSData *urlData=[NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:&response error:&error];
// NSString *data=[[NSString alloc]initWithData:urlData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];//this line supprted to json
NSDictionary* json = [NSJSONSerialization
JSONObjectWithData:urlData
options:kNilOptions
error:&error];//this line supported to xml
NSLog(#"json %#",json);
//NSDictionary*results = [data JSONValue];//this line supported to JSON
//NSLog(#"results json----->%#",results);
AFNetworking will do both, and has a goot reputation, for example see the Ray Wenderlich site which has lots of other useful information too.
I have created one wrapper class for json. In there, I have created one method given below, I think it will help you.
Parse Method:
-(void)jsonDeserialize:(NSString *)key fromDict:(id)content completionHandler:(void (^) (id parsedData, NSDictionary *fromDict))completionHandler{
if (key==nil && content ==nil) {
completionHandler(nil,nil);
}
if ([content isKindOfClass:[NSArray class]]) {
for (NSDictionary *obj in content) {
[self jsonDeserialize:key fromDict:obj completionHandler:completionHandler];
}
}
if ([content isKindOfClass:[NSDictionary class]]) {
id result = [content objectForKey:key];
if ([result isKindOfClass:[NSNull class]] || result == nil) {
NSDictionary *temp = (NSDictionary *)content;
NSArray *keys = [temp allKeys];
for (NSString *ikey in keys) {
[self jsonDeserialize:key fromDict:[content objectForKey:ikey] completionHandler:completionHandler];
}
}else{
completionHandler(result,content);
}
}
}
Method Call:
NSData *content = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:[[NSBundle mainBundle]pathForResource:#"Sample" ofType:#"json"]];
NSError *error;
//to get serialized json data...
id dictionary = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:content options:NSJSONReadingMutableContainers error:&error];
//get data for key called GetInfo
[self jsonDeserialize:#"GetInfo" fromDict:dictionary completionHandler:^(id parsedData, NSDictionary *fromDict) {
NSLog(#"%# - %#",parsedData,fromDict);
}];

ios parsing json result after http request

am starting to build login form reading from external server via http request i need to parse json result to get user name
- (IBAction)getlogin:(UIButton *)sender {
NSString *rawStrusername = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"username=%#",_username.text];
NSString *rawStrpassword = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"password=%#",_password.text];
NSString *post = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#&%#", rawStrusername, rawStrpassword];
// NSString *post = #"rawStrusername&rawStrpassword";
NSData *postData = [post dataUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding allowLossyConversion:YES];
/* NSString *postLength = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d", [postData length]]; */
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://www.othaimmarkets.com/my_services_path/user/login.json"];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[request setHTTPMethod:#"POST"];
/* [request setValue:postLength forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Length"]; */
[request setValue:#"application/x-www-form-urlencoded" forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Type"];
[request setHTTPBody:postData];
NSURLResponse *response;
NSError *err;
NSData *responseData = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:&response error:&err];
NSLog(#"responseData: %#", [[NSString alloc] initWithData:responseData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]);
//NSLog(#"responseData: %#", responseData);
}
I get this result:

how i can get the objects data or parse the result to get user name
any help or examples will be appreciated
You need to use the NSJSONSerialization class method, JSONObjectWithData:options:error: to create an NSDictionary:
NSError *error;
NSDictionary *jsonDict = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:responseData options:NSJSONReadingMutableContainers error:&error];
if (! error) {
NSLog(#"%#",jsonDict);
}else{
NSLog(#"%#",error.localizedDescription);
}
This will get you to the point where you can look at the dictionary, which will be easier to read. It looks like you need to use objectForKey:#"sessid" to get you to user, then objectForKey#"user", then objectForKey:#"name" to get you to the name.
Check out this framework for parsing json. https://github.com/stig/json-framework/
Also check out this answer iPhone/iOS JSON parsing tutorial. You'll find a link to a tutorial you can do to get acquainted with json parsing in ios.
See this answer and some code :
NSMutableData *data; // Contains data received from the URL connection declares in header
- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveData:(NSData *)dataIn
{
// Do it this way because connection doesn't guarantee all the data is in
POLLog(#" Tide View connection");
[data appendData:dataIn];
}
- (void) connectionDidFinishLoading:(NSURLConnection *) conn
{
NSString *jsonString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSDictionary *results = [jsonString JSONValue]; // This is a new category added to the NSString by SBJSON
//100 parameters
for (int n=0;n<=100;n++)
{
// Get all the returned results
params[n] = [[results objectForKey:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"param%d",n]] floatValue];
}
To expand upon rdelmar's answer (which I think you should accept), you can use NSJSONSerialization and then navigate the NSDictionary results to extract the userName:
NSError *error;
NSDictionary *jsonDict = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:responseData
options:0
error:&error];
if (error == nil) {
NSDictionary *userDictionary = [jsonDict objectForKey:#"user"];
NSString *userName = [userDictionary objectForKey:#"name"];
// do what you need with the userName
} else {
NSLog(#"%#",error.localizedDescription);
}
Or if using the latest version of Xcode, you can replace those objectForKey references with the even more concise Modern Objective-C syntax:
NSDictionary *userDictionary = jsonDict[#"user"];
NSString *userName = userDictionary[#"name"];

Convert JSON feed to NSDictionary

Where JSON_CATEGORY_DATA_URL_STRING is my feed URL, which returns fine as:
[
{
"group":"For Sale",
"code":"SSSS"
},
{
"group":"For Sale",
"category":"Wanted",
"code":"SWNT"
}
]
I cannot seem to get a nice NSDictionary (or NSArray) out of the following code:
+ (NSDictionary *)downloadJSON
{
NSDictionary *json_string;
NSString *dataURL = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#", JSON_CATEGORY_DATA_URL_STRING];
NSLog(#"%#",dataURL);
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:dataURL]];
NSData *response = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:nil error:nil];
json_string = [[[NSString alloc] initWithData:response encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]autorelease];
NSDictionary *json_dict = (NSDictionary *)json_string;
NSLog(#"json_dict\n%#",json_dict);
NSLog(#"json_string\n%#",json_string);
return json_string;
}
I've read many posts on this, but am not getting it.
With IOS5 you can use NSJSONSerialization for serializing the JSON.
NSDictionary *dictionary = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:data options:kNilOptions error:&error];
You can't just cast a string as a dictionary and expect it to parse the JSON. You must use a JSON parsing library to take that string and convert it into a dictionary.
I made a class that makes this task easier. It uses iOS 5's NSJSONSerialization. Clone it from github here.
You need to use JSON parser. here is the edited code
+ (NSDictionary *)downloadJSON
{
NSDictionary *json_string;
NSString *dataURL = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#", JSON_CATEGORY_DATA_URL_STRING];
NSLog(#"%#",dataURL);
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:dataURL]];
NSData *response = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:nil error:nil];
json_string = [[[NSString alloc] initWithData:response encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]autorelease];
//JSONValue is a function that will return the appropriate object like dictionary or array depending on your json string.
NSDictionary *json_dict = [json_string JSONValue];
NSLog(#"json_dict\n%#",json_dict);
NSLog(#"json_string\n%#",json_string);
return json_dict;
}
this should be the code to get the NSDictionary. but you json string is an array so instead use .
+ (NSArray *)downloadJSON
{
NSDictionary *json_string;
NSString *dataURL = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#", JSON_CATEGORY_DATA_URL_STRING];
NSLog(#"%#",dataURL);
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:dataURL]];
NSData *response = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:nil error:nil];
json_string = [[[NSString alloc] initWithData:response encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]autorelease];
NSArray *json_dict = [json_string JSONValue];
NSLog(#"json_dict\n%#",json_dict);
NSLog(#"json_string\n%#",json_string);
return json_dict;
}
Edit:
you need to use JSON.framework to call JSONValue method.
also you need to return json_dict instead of json_string as json_string is of NSString type and not NSDictionary or NSArray.
and dont autorelease it, as it is your class variable
create method to fetchjson data.Pass your url in urlwithstring.
-(void)fetchjsondata
{
NSString *login= [[NSString stringWithFormat:#"your url string"]stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSLog(#"----%#", login);
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:[login stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
//-- Get request and response though URL
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc]initWithURL:url];
[NSURLConnection sendAsynchronousRequest:request
queue:[NSOperationQueue mainQueue]
completionHandler:^(NSURLResponse *response, NSData *data, NSError *error) {
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
if (data) {
dic_property= [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:data options:NSJSONReadingMutableContainers error:nil];
NSLog(#"%#", dic_property);
NSLog(#"counts=%d",[[dic_property objectForKey:#"Data"]count]);
}
else {
NSLog(#"network error, %#", [error localizedFailureReason]);
}
});
}];
}
call fetchjsonmethod in anywhere.
[NSThread detachNewThreadSelector:#selector(fetchdata) toTarget:self withObject:nil];
