Loading data in Component 2 after selecting component 1 picker View IOS - ios

Question

There are Three components (projects, tasks and sub tasks )in my pickerview when I select project, I was able to get the project name and respective project ID (Project ID is in label). My requirement is I want to send the project ID to NSURL so that I can load the respective tasks that are assigned to that project ID. Here is my Below Code.
ViewDidLoad:
// Code for Tasks loading
NSString *nsTaskurllocal = #"http://test.com/";
NSString *usrid = #"313";
NSString * productIdString =[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#/%#",[self.lblProjects text],usrid];
NSLog(#"aString : %#", productIdString);
NSString *aString = [nsTaskurllocal stringByAppendingString:productIdString];
NSURL *nstaskurl = [NSURL URLWithString:aString];
NSLog(#"nstaskurl : %#", nstaskurl);
NSData *nstaskpostData = [post dataUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding allowLossyConversion:YES];
NSString *nstaskpostLength = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%lu", (unsigned long)[nstaskpostData length]];
NSMutableURLRequest *nstaskrequest = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init];
[nstaskrequest setURL:nstaskurl];
[nstaskrequest setHTTPMethod:#"POST"];
[nstaskrequest setValue:nstaskpostLength forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Length"];
[nstaskrequest setValue:#"application/projectpicker" forHTTPHeaderField:#"Accept"];
[nstaskrequest setValue:#"application/jsonArray" forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Type"];
[nstaskrequest setHTTPBody:nstaskpostData];
NSError *nstaskerror = [[NSError alloc] init];
NSHTTPURLResponse *nstaskresponse = nil;
NSData *nstaskurlData=[NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:nstaskrequest returningResponse:&nstaskresponse error:&nstaskerror];
NSURLRequest *nstaskurlRequest = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:nstaskurl
cachePolicy:NSURLRequestReturnCacheDataElseLoad
timeoutInterval:30];
// Make synchronous request
nstaskurlData = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:nstaskurlRequest
returningResponse:&nstaskresponse
error:&nstaskerror];
if ([nstaskresponse statusCode] >= 200 && [nstaskresponse statusCode] < 300)
{
NSString *nstaskresponseData = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:nstaskurlData
options:NSJSONReadingAllowFragments error:&nstaskerror];
NSArray *nstaskentries = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:[nstaskresponseData dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]
options:0 error:&nstaskerror];
if(!nstaskentries)
{
NSLog(#"Error : %#", nstaskerror);
}
else{
for (NSDictionary *nstaskentry in nstaskentries) {
taskID = [nstaskentries valueForKey:#"ID_TASK"];
taskNames = [nstaskentries valueForKey:#"TASk_NAME"];
//NSLog(#"Error : %#", taskNames); //log to see the result in console // by Kiran
}
_projectpicker.delegate = self;
_projectpicker.dataSource = self;
}
} else {
}
-(void)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView didSelectRow:(NSInteger)row inComponent:(NSInteger)component
{
NSNumber *myProjectArrayString = [projID objectAtIndex:row];
//NSNumber *myTaskArrayString = [taskID objectAtIndex:row];
//NSLog(#"%#",myArrayString);
//NSLog(#"%#",myTaskArrayString);
lblProjects.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",myProjectArrayString];
//lblProjects.hidden = YES;
lblTasks.text = [taskNames objectAtIndex:[pickerView selectedRowInComponent:1]];
//lblTasks.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#", myTaskArrayString];
lblSubTasks.text = [subtaskNames objectAtIndex:[pickerView selectedRowInComponent:2]];
}
Thanks in Advance

You need to differentiate between your total data, and your displayed data.
So, download all of your data and save it in projectNames, taskNames and subtaskNames. But also have 2 other properties: currentTaskNames and currentSubtaskNames (you don't need
cProjectNames because the user can always see all project names.
After the download:
self.currentTaskNames = taskNames;
self.currentSubtaskNames = subtaskNames;
Now, when the user selects a project, filter the tasks and subtasks that are available.
switch (component) {
case 0:
{
NSString *project = [projectNames objectAtIndex:row];
self.currentTaskNames = [taskNames filteredArrayUsingPredicate:...];
break;
}
case 1:
{
NSString *task = [taskNames objectAtIndex:row];
self.currentSubtaskNames = [subtaskNames filteredArrayUsingPredicate:...];
break;
}
case 2:
// do something interesting
break;
}
You need to fill in the predicates which filter out the tasks and subtasks that aren't appropriate based on the selected project and task.
Also, stop using labels for data storage...
