Multiple UITableView with independent dataSource - ios

Question

[EDIT]
Ok I found the problem, I was just calling the bad connection request of my web service. So downloading a blog would erase the articles list content. Time for a break :p
#
I'm upgrading an old app which is a simple RSS reader with a list of articles and a list of blogs. Each of these is a UITableView with its own UITableViewController.
Both of them retrieve data from a JSON file on my server.
At the end of the JSON parsing I update the dataSources and then call the reloadData method on both tableviews. The problem is that the articles list is filled with the blogs and the blog list isn't filled at all.
If I don't call reloadData on the blog tableview, the article one is filled correctly and works well. As seen on an other post I've tried with the tableview.tag identifier but it doesn't work.
Note: I'm not using IB.
Here is the code for the BlogTableViewController:
#implementation BlogsTVC
#synthesize dataSourceForBlogs;
#synthesize blogRec;
- (id)initWithStyle:(UITableViewStyle)style
{
if ((self = [super initWithStyle:style])) {
self.title = #"Blogs";
self.tableView.tag = 2;
self.tableView.delegate = self;
dataSourceForBlogs = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
// Register to notification
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(callback_blogs:) name:#"blogs" object:nil ];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(connection_error:) name:#"connection_error" object:nil];
}
return self;
}
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
[self refreshBlogs];
}
-(void)callback_blogs:(NSNotification *)notification
{
if([self.dataSourceForBlogs count] > 0)
{
NSInteger i, count = [self.dataSourceForBlogs count];
for(i=0; i < count; i++)
{
[[self.dataSourceForBlogs objectAtIndex:i] release];
}
[self.dataSourceForBlogs removeAllObjects];
}
//remplissage
NSArray *receivedDatas = [[notification userInfo] objectForKey:#"data"];
NSUInteger i, count = [receivedDatas count];
for(i=0; i<count; i++)
{
self.blogRec = [[BlogRecord alloc] init];
self.blogRec.blog_id_auteur = [[receivedDatas objectAtIndex:i] objectForKey:#"id"];
self.blogRec.blog_auteur = [[receivedDatas objectAtIndex:i]objectForKey:#"auteur"];
self.blogRec.blog_url = [[receivedDatas objectAtIndex:i]objectForKey:#"url"];
self.blogRec.blog_date = [[receivedDatas objectAtIndex:i] objectForKey:#"date"];
self.blogRec.blog_nb_pub = [[receivedDatas objectAtIndex:i] objectForKey:#"nb_publication"];
self.blogRec.blog_url_image = [[receivedDatas objectAtIndex:i] objectForKey:#"theme"];
[self.dataSourceForBlogs addObject:self.blogRec];
self.blogRec = nil;
}
[self.tableView reloadData];
}
Here is the code for the Articles:
#implementation ActualiteTVC
#synthesize dataSource;
#synthesize artRec;
#pragma mark -
#pragma mark Initialization
- (id)initWithStyle:(UITableViewStyle)style {
// Override initWithStyle: if you create the controller programmatically and want to perform customization that is not appropriate for viewDidLoad.
if ((self = [super initWithStyle:style])) {
// Titles
self.title = #"Actualités";
self.tableView.tag = 1;
// Register to notification
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(callback_general:) name:#"general" object:nil ];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(connection_error:) name:#"connection_error" object:nil];
self.dataSource = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
}
return self;
}
#pragma mark -
#pragma mark View lifecycle
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
[self refreshNews];
}
-(void)callback_general: (NSNotification *) notification
{
if ([self.dataSource count] > 0) {
NSUInteger i, count = [self.dataSource count];
for (i = 0; i < count; i++) {
[[self.dataSource objectAtIndex:i] release];
}
[self.dataSource removeAllObjects];
}
NSArray *receivedDatas = [[notification userInfo] objectForKey:#"data"];
NSUInteger i, count = [receivedDatas count];
for (i = 0; i < count; i++) {
self.artRec = [[ArticleRecord alloc] init];
self.artRec.art_id = [[receivedDatas objectAtIndex:i] objectForKey:#"id"];
self.artRec.art_auteur = [[receivedDatas objectAtIndex:i] objectForKey:#"auteur"];
self.artRec.art_categorie = [[receivedDatas objectAtIndex:i] objectForKey:#"categorie"];
self.artRec.art_date = [[receivedDatas objectAtIndex:i] objectForKey:#"date"];
//self.artRec.art_texte = [[receivedDatas objectAtIndex:i] objectForKey:#"texte"];
self.artRec.art_titre = [[receivedDatas objectAtIndex:i] objectForKey:#"titre"];
self.artRec.art_url_auteur = [[receivedDatas objectAtIndex:i] objectForKey:#"url_auteur"];
self.artRec.art_url = [[receivedDatas objectAtIndex:i] objectForKey:#"url"];
self.artRec.art_url_img = [[receivedDatas objectAtIndex:i] objectForKey:#"image"];
[self.dataSource addObject:self.artRec];
self.artRec = nil;
}
[self.tableView reloadData];
}
Finally here is how I add these TableViews in the TabBar:
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
// 0
//articles
ActualiteTVC *actualiteTVC = [[ActualiteTVC alloc] init];
UINavigationController *actualiteNC = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:actualiteTVC];
[actualiteTVC release];
actualiteNC.tabBarItem.title = #"Actualités";
actualiteNC.tabBarItem.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"08-chat.png"];
[actualiteNC.navigationBar setBarStyle:UIBarStyleBlack];
//1
//blogs
BlogsTVC *blogsTVC = [[BlogsTVC alloc] init];
UINavigationController *blogsNC = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:blogsTVC];
[blogsTVC release];
blogsNC.tabBarItem.title = #"Blogs";
blogsNC.tabBarItem.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"balance.png"];
[blogsNC.navigationBar setBarStyle:UIBarStyleBlack];
// myTabBarController
myTabBarController = [[UITabBarController alloc] init];
[myTabBarController setViewControllers:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:actualiteNC, blogsNC, nil]];
[actualiteNC release];
[blogsNC release];
/*
//fullscreen
CGRect frame = [[UIScreen mainScreen] applicationFrame];
frame.origin.x = 0;
frame.origin.y = 25;
//[baseViewCtrl.view setFrame:frame];
[myTabBarController.view setFrame:frame];
*/
/*
// window
//[window addSubview:myTabBarController.view];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(handleRemoveLoading:) name:#"removeLoading" object:nil];
loading = [[LoadingVC alloc] init];
[window addSubview:loading.view];
*/
[window addSubview:baseViewCtrl.view];
[window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
