NSXMLParser not finding closing tag - ios

Question

Im trying to fetch list of content from xml web source . Im using NSXMLParser atm.
here is the code :
- (void)main
{
self.workingArray = [NSMutableArray array];
self.workingPropertyString = [NSMutableString string];
NSURL *url = [[NSURL alloc]initWithString:#"http://myxmlwebsite.xml"];
NSXMLParser *parser = [[NSXMLParser alloc]initWithContentsOfURL:url];
[parser setDelegate:self];
bool result = [parser parse];
NSLog(#"result is ok for xml parse : %#", result ? #"Yes" : #"No");
if (![self isCancelled])
{
self.appRecordList = [NSArray arrayWithArray:self.workingArray];
SubCategoryViewController *subCategoryViewController;
subCategoryViewController.entries = self.appRecordList;
[subCategoryViewController.tableView reloadData];
}
self.workingArray = nil;
self.workingPropertyString = nil;
self.dataToParse = nil;
}
- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didStartElement:(NSString *)elementName
namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI
qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName
attributes:(NSDictionary *)attributeDict
{
if ([elementName isEqualToString:kUser])
{
self.workingEntry = [[UserFetchAppRecord alloc] init];
}
_elementsToParse = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:
kid,ktitle, nil];
self.storingCharacterData = [_elementsToParse containsObject:elementName];
}
- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didEndElement:(NSString *)elementName
namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI
qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName
{
if (self.workingEntry)
{
if (self.storingCharacterData)
{
NSString *trimmedString = [self.workingPropertyString stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:
[NSCharacterSet whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet]];
[self.workingPropertyString setString:#""];
if ([elementName isEqualToString:kid])
{
self.workingEntry.ids = trimmedString;
NSLog(#"id : %#" , trimmedString);
}
else if ([elementName isEqualToString:ktitle])
{
self.workingEntry.title = trimmedString;
NSLog(#"ktitle : %#" , trimmedString);
}
}
else if ([elementName isEqualToString:kUser])
{
NSLog(#"inside elementName isEqualToString:kUser");
[self.workingArray addObject:self.workingEntry];
NSUInteger self_workingArrayCount = [self.workingArray count];
self.workingEntry = nil;
}
}
}
Now at console if i run program i get these results :
"result is ok for xml parse = true"
"id : 1"
"ktitle : usertitle"
.
.
.
but the result of closing tab no showing in console, this one "inside elementName isEqualToString:kUser".
hows that possible ?
the tag of my xml are like this :
<Main>
<user>
<id></id>
<title></title>
</user>
<user>
<id></id>
<title></title>
</user>
.....
</Main>

Change else if ([elementName isEqualToString:kUser]) in
- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didEndElement:(NSString *)elementName
namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI
qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName
to if ([elementName isEqualToString:kUser]).
self.storingCharacterData become YES when element id or title starts. So when element user ends self.storingCharacterData will be YES, and else if ([elementName isEqualToString:kUser]) wont work.
