Check if valueForKey exists - ios

i'm making a request which sometimes can return a error message example error:"no live games".
How can i check if the valueforkey: error exists?
pseudo
if (error exists) {
//nothing
} else {
//return other value for keys
}
my request
NSDictionary* headers3 = #{#"X-Mashape-Authorization": #"key"};
NSDictionary* parameters3 = #{};
UNIHTTPJsonResponse* response3 = [[UNIRest get:^(UNISimpleRequest* request3) {
[request3 setUrl:#"https://willjw-statsfc-competitions.p.mashape.com/live.json?key=uNzRmnUdCEYKdOoe1e1bBpwtmczNVLUZYbIlOX9O&competition=europa-league&timezone=Europe%2FLondon"];
[request3 setHeaders:headers3];
[request3 setParameters:parameters3];
}] asJson];
NSData* rawBody3 = [response3 rawBody];
results3 = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:rawBody3 options:NSJSONReadingMutableContainers error:nil];

Seems like your API returns "message" instead of "error". Anyway, here's what you do:
if (result3[#"message"]) { // equavalent of [result3 objectForKey:#"message"], which will return nil if there's no "message" key in the dictionary
// your error handler condition
}
else {
// process retrieved data
}

Not getting data from server with [FIRRemoteConfig remoteConfig]

In the iOS code below, the status of the fetch is FIRRemoteConfigFetchStatusSuccess. When activateFetched is applied in the handler, the result is true. It looks to me therefore as if it should be the case that you can access the remote config values from the server. However, it is only the local value that is obtained when do [FIRRemoteConfig remoteConfig][#"greeting"].stringValue;
On Firebase console have set a parameter called "greeting". What possible reasons are there to explain why it is not retrieving the server value for this parameter?
- (void)fetchFirebaseRemoteConfig {
long expirationDuration = 43200;
if ([FIRRemoteConfig remoteConfig].configSettings.isDeveloperModeEnabled) {
expirationDuration = 0;
}
[[FIRRemoteConfig remoteConfig] fetchWithExpirationDuration:expirationDuration completionHandler:^(FIRRemoteConfigFetchStatus status, NSError *error) {
if (status == FIRRemoteConfigFetchStatusSuccess && error == nil) {
BOOL didApply = [[FIRRemoteConfig remoteConfig] activateFetched];
ALog("Did apply remote config OK: %d", didApply);
} else {
ALog(#"Error %#", error.localizedDescription);
}
NSString *greeting = [FIRRemoteConfig remoteConfig][#"greeting"].stringValue;
ALog(#"greeting: %#", greeting);
}];
}

Cannot access more than one value from function using PromiseKit Swift

TemplateClass.m
+ (AnyPromise *) promisefunctionReturnThreeValus:(NSString *)sampleName {
return [self anotherPromiseFunction:sampleName].then(^(NSMutableDictionary *sampleDict) {
DataArray *data = [DataArray dataArrayFromDict:sampleDict];
PropertyArray *property = [PropertyArray PropertyArrayFromDict:sampleDict];
if ([sampleDict objectForKey:NAME])
{
NameModel *name = [[NameModel alloc]initWithDictionary:[responseDict objectForKey:NAME]];
return (PMKManifold(data,property,name));
}
else
{
return (PMKManifold(data,property,nil));
}
});
}
well i can able to access this from objc using the below code
[TemplateClass promisefunctionReturnThreeValus:#"hello"].then(^(DataArray *data,PropertyArray *property,NameModel *name) {
//Here i can able to access the three values data,property and name
}
But when i try to access this from swift
TemplateClass.promisefunctionReturnThreeValus(sampleName: "hello").then{ data,property,name in
// it show me error " Contextual closure type '(Any?) -> AnyPromise' expects 1 argument, but 3 were used in closure body "
}
i can able to access only data but not the other two
i also tried debug it and print through log it show only the data of DataArray Object
lldb output
<DataArray : 0x1c0631340 count:1 value:{
"id" = 3631;
}

Prevent a closure from running until another has completed

Here is code for two closures in two different IBAction button presses. The desired outcome is for the button press to turn on/off an LED, then to access a light sensor and read the light value after the change in LED status.
What happens is a race condition where the function getVariable runs and returns before the callFunction has implemented the change. The result is that the value displayed in getLightLabel.text is that of the prior condition, not the current condition.
My question is how to rewrite the code below so that myPhoton!.getVariable does not execute until after the myPhoton!.callFunction has returned (completed its task).
I have tried placing getVariable inside callFunction, both before and after the } closing if (error == nil), but the result was identical to the code shown here.
#IBAction func lightOn(sender: AnyObject) {
let funcArgs = [1]
myPhoton!.callFunction("lightLed0", withArguments: funcArgs) { (resultCode : NSNumber!, error : NSError!) -> Void in
if (error == nil) {
self.lightStateLabel.text = "LED is on"
}
}
myPhoton!.getVariable("Light", completion: { (result:AnyObject!, error:NSError!) -> Void in
if let e = error {
self.getLightLabel.text = "Failed reading light"
}
else {
if let res = result as? Float {
self.getLightLabel.text = "Light level is \(res) lumens"
}
}
})
}
#IBAction func lightOff(sender: AnyObject) {
let funcArgs = [0]
myPhoton!.callFunction("lightLed0", withArguments: funcArgs) { (resultCode : NSNumber!, error : NSError!) -> Void in
if (error == nil) {
self.lightStateLabel.text = "LED is off"
}
}
myPhoton!.getVariable("Light", completion: { (result:AnyObject!, error:NSError!) -> Void in
if let e = error {
self.getLightLabel.text = "Failed reading light"
}
else {
if let res = result as? Float {
self.getLightLabel.text = "Light level is \(res) lumens"
}
}
})
}
Here is the callFunction comments and code from the .h file. This SDK is written in Objective C. I am using it in Swift with a bridging header file.
/**
* Call a function on the device
*
* #param functionName Function name
* #param args Array of arguments to pass to the function on the device. Arguments will be converted to string maximum length 63 chars.
* #param completion Completion block will be called when function was invoked on device. First argument of block is the integer return value of the function, second is NSError object in case of an error invoking the function
*/
-(void)callFunction:(NSString *)functionName withArguments:(NSArray *)args completion:(void (^)(NSNumber *, NSError *))completion;
/*
-(void)addEventHandler:(NSString *)eventName handler:(void(^)(void))handler;
-(void)removeEventHandler:(NSString *)eventName;
*/
Here is the .m file code
-(void)callFunction:(NSString *)functionName withArguments:(NSArray *)args completion:(void (^)(NSNumber *, NSError *))completion
{
// TODO: check function name exists in list
NSURL *url = [self.baseURL URLByAppendingPathComponent:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"v1/devices/%#/%#", self.id, functionName]];
NSMutableDictionary *params = [NSMutableDictionary new]; //[self defaultParams];
// TODO: check response of calling a non existant function
if (args) {
NSMutableArray *argsStr = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity:args.count];
for (id arg in args)
{
[argsStr addObject:[arg description]];
}
NSString *argsValue = [argsStr componentsJoinedByString:#","];
if (argsValue.length > MAX_SPARK_FUNCTION_ARG_LENGTH)
{
// TODO: arrange user error/codes in a list
NSError *err = [self makeErrorWithDescription:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"Maximum argument length cannot exceed %d",MAX_SPARK_FUNCTION_ARG_LENGTH] code:1000];
if (completion)
completion(nil,err);
return;
}
params[#"args"] = argsValue;
}
[self setAuthHeaderWithAccessToken];
[self.manager POST:[url description] parameters:params success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
if (completion)
{
NSDictionary *responseDict = responseObject;
if ([responseDict[#"connected"] boolValue]==NO)
{
NSError *err = [self makeErrorWithDescription:#"Device is not connected" code:1001];
completion(nil,err);
}
else
{
// check
NSNumber *result = responseDict[#"return_value"];
completion(result,nil);
}
}
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error)
{
if (completion)
completion(nil,error);
}];
}
One solution is to put the second closure inside the first, where the first returns and provides and Error value. If no error,then execuet the second closure. That is one way to tightly couple the two closures without resorting to semaphores or other messaging schemes.
In this application, the problem I was encountering cannot be solved on the IOS/Swift side of the stack. The cloud API and embedded uP are not tightly coupled, so the cloud returns to the IOS with a completion before the full function code has run on the Particle uP.
The solution to this overall problem actually lies in either modifying the cloud API or adding some additional code to the uP firmware to tightly couple the process to the IOS app with additional communication.

error code 38 - "id parameter is missing." in twitter

I am using following code in my iOS app, to favourite a tweet by particular tweet id.
+ (void)favTweetForUser:(NSString )tweet_id withAccount:(ACAccount)twitterAccounts andCompletion:(resultCompletion)completion
{
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:#"https://api.twitter.com/1.1/favorites/create.json"];
NSNumber * myNumber =[NSNumber numberWithLongLong:[tweet_id longLongValue]];
NSDictionary *params = #{#"id" : myNumber};
[self postRequestWithAcc:twitterAccounts param:params url:url andCompletion:completion];
}
I am getting following response from twitter
{
errors = (
{
code = 38;
message = "id parameter is missing.";
}
);
}
I am not understanding this error, I am passing "id" parameter, but still getting that error, please suggest me changes to work it

And I want to show every data in the organized structure in the console. Can anyone help me with this?
it's unclear what you exactly asking but I try to answer.
First of all you need to parse this response in the method
- (void)request:(FBRequest *)request didLoad:(id)result of Facebook iOS SDK
result can be a string, a NSArray if you have multiple results and NSDictionary
In you console output we can see NSDictionary with included arrays and dictionaries in it.
I have little tutorial about it but it's on russian only and site is down today :( so i just copy one example from my article.
Let say we want to know what facebook user Likes
- (IBAction)getUserInfo:(id)sender {
[_facebook requestWithGraphPath:#"me/likes" andDelegate:self];
}
if we try this Graph API response in browser or output to console we can see what this request returns. It returns dictionary with one and only key - "data" and corresponded array to this key. This array contents dictionary objects again with keys -
«name»,"category","id","created_time". Dont forget request «user_likes» permission before.
So we have parsing method like that:
- (void)request:(FBRequest *)request didLoad:(id)result {
if ([result isKindOfClass:[NSArray class]]) {
result = [result objectAtIndex:0];
}
if ([result objectForKey:#"owner"]) {
[self.label setText:#"Photo upload Success"];
} else if ([result objectForKey:#"data"]){
NSArray *likes = [result objectForKey:#"data"];
NSString *text=#"You don't like Steve";
for (NSDictionary* mylike in likes) {
NSString *mylikeName = [mylike objectForKey:#"name"];
if ([mylikeName isEqualToString:#"Steve Jobs"]) {
text=#"You like Steve";
break;
}
}
[self.label setText:text];
}
};
You can parse you result same way and fill your object's variables and then use it to display information in TableView for example. good luck!
