Populating a TableView in Objective C - ios

Question

Hey guys I am having an issue passing a JSON return type through an NSArray
.h file:
#property (strong, nonatomic) NSArray *googlePlacesArrayFromAFNetworking;
#property (strong, nonatomic) NSArray *finishedGooglePlacesArray;
.m file:
Here is the returned section:
NSDictionary* json = [NSJSONSerialization
JSONObjectWithData:returnData //1
options:kNilOptions
error:&error];
self.googlePlacesArrayFromAFNetworking = [json objectForKey:#"original_request"];
[self.tableView reloadData];
Now from there it gets sent to here:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];
NSDictionary *tempDictionary= [self.googlePlacesArrayFromAFNetworking objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.textLabel.text = [tempDictionary objectForKey:#"name"];
if([tempDictionary objectForKey:#"location"] != NULL)
{
cell.detailTextLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"Rating: %# of 5",[tempDictionary objectForKey:#"name"]];
}
else
{
cell.detailTextLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"Not Rated"];
}
return cell;
}
But it breaks on
NSDictionary *tempDictionary= [self.googlePlacesArrayFromAFNetworking objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
with an error message:
2014-03-08 13:53:26.772 Ripple[45593:70b] -[__NSCFDictionary objectAtIndex:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x8b72810
2014-03-08 13:53:26.776 Ripple[45593:70b] *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[__NSCFDictionary objectAtIndex:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x8b72810'
I am not sure what is going on, suggestions or thoughts?
edit:
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
// Return the number of sections.
return 1;
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
// Return the number of rows in the section.
return [self.googlePlacesArrayFromAFNetworking count];
}
JSON
responseString: {"status":"ok","code":0,"message":"Testing this awesome application out!","from":"Admin Team","original_request":{"name":"david","location":"awesome","trait":"funny"}}

According to JSON log, [json objectForKey:#"original_request"] returns anNSDictionary`. So First you need to change this line :
#property (strong, nonatomic) NSArray *googlePlacesArrayFromAFNetworking;
to
#property (strong, nonatomic) NSDictionary *googlePlacesArrayFromAFNetworking;
It's normal that you get an error after that because NSDictionary doesn't have objectAtIndex selector. You can enumerate through keys and values in NSDictionary.
Than, change your cellForRowAtIndexPath method to :
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];
cell.textLabel.text = [self.googlePlacesArrayFromAFNetworking objectForKey:#"name"];
if([self.googlePlacesArrayFromAFNetworking objectForKey:#"location"] != NULL)
{
cell.detailTextLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"Rating: %# of 5",[self.googlePlacesArrayFromAFNetworking objectForKey:#"name"]];
}
else
{
cell.detailTextLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"Not Rated"];
}
return cell;
}

It's look like you don't understand what you get from your json...
so, try this :
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];
//get the correct type
NSDictionary *tempDictionary = (NSDictionary *)self.googlePlacesArrayFromAFNetworking;
NSString *key = [[tempDictionary allKeys]objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.textLabel.text = key;
cell.detailTextLabel.text = [tempDictionary objectForKey:key];
return cell;
}
