Why won't my JSON array display in a UITableView object? - ios

Question

Here's my code:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://www.domain.com/venues.php"]];
NSData *response = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:nil error:nil];
NSError *error = nil;
NSArray *responseArray = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:response options:0 error:&error];
NSLog(#"%#", responseArray); // This logs fine
}
#synthesize responseArray;
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
// Return the number of rows in the section.
return 1; // temporary replacement for return [responseArray count] for testing purposes
}
-(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier =#"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];
cell.textLabel.text=[responseArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
return cell;
}
For comparison, the following code does work:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
self.colors= [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects: #"Red", #"Yellow", #"Green", #"Blue", #"Purple", nil];
NSLog(#"%#", self.colors); // logs fine
}
#synthesize colors;
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
// Return the number of rows in the section.
return [self.colors count];
}
-(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier =#"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];
cell.textLabel.text=[self.colors objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
return cell;
}
Update
My cellForRowAtIndexPath now looks like this, but I'm still not getting any results. Is there a problem with my JSON?
-(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier =#"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];
cell.textLabel.text=[[self.responseArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]objectForKey:#"name"];
return cell;
}
JSON:
[{"name":"venue 1"},{"name":"venue 2"},{"name":"venue 3"}]

#interface YourTableViewController ()<BViewControllerDelegate>
#property (strong, nonatomic) NSArray *responseArray;
#end
#implementation yourTableViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad
{

self.responseArray = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:response options:0 error:&error];
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
// Return the number of rows in the section.
return [self.responseArray count];
}
-(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier =#"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];
