Json Accelerator and AFNetworking - ios

When the operation is running, I can not enter data in JSON model CREATED BY ACCELERATOR.
Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?
{
[super viewDidLoad];
NSLog(#"you are in a tableViewController");
self.title = #"NavigationOrdini";
NSURLRequest *req = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://www.stampa6x3.com/json.php?azione=ordini"]];
AFJSONRequestOperation* operation;
operation = [AFJSONRequestOperation JSONRequestOperationWithRequest:req
success:^(NSURLRequest *request, NSURLResponse *response, id JSON)
{
[[ordiniModel alloc] initWithDictionary:JSON];
}
failure:^(NSURLRequest *request, NSURLResponse *response, NSError
*error, id JSON) {
[self setTitle:#"Dictionary"];
NSLog(#"failed! %d",[error code]);
}];
[operation start];
ordiniModel*test;
NSLog(#"il valore è %#",test.ordini.description);
}

AFJSONRequestOperation is asynchronous, meaning it that the code continues to execute while the rest of the app runs. The completion block are run when the code actually completes.
So try:
NSLog(#"you are in a tableViewController");
self.title = #"NavigationOrdini";
ordiniModel *test; // <-- create variable here
NSURLRequest *req = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://www.stampa6x3.com/json.php?azione=ordini"]];
AFJSONRequestOperation* operation;
operation = [AFJSONRequestOperation JSONRequestOperationWithRequest:req
success:^(NSURLRequest *request, NSURLResponse *response, id JSON)
{
test = [[ordiniModel alloc] initWithDictionary:JSON]; // <-- Assign here
NSLog(#"il valore è %#",test.ordini.description);
}
failure:^(NSURLRequest *request, NSURLResponse *response, NSError
*error, id JSON) {
[self setTitle:#"Dictionary"];
NSLog(#"failed! %d",[error code]);
}];
[operation start];

AFNetworking not getting proper response

I'm trying to use AFNetworking to call a Rest API but I'm not getting the proper response string. This is my code:
NSURL *url = [[NSURL alloc] initWithString:#"https://www.ez-point.com/api/v1/ezpoints"];
NSURLRequest *request = [[NSURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:url];
AFJSONRequestOperation *operation =
[AFJSONRequestOperation JSONRequestOperationWithRequest:request
success:^(NSURLRequest *request, NSHTTPURLResponse *response, id JSON) {
NSLog(#"%#",#"testing");
NSLog(#"%#",operation.responseData);
}
failure:^(NSURLRequest *request, NSHTTPURLResponse *response, NSError *error, id JSON) {
NSLog(#"%#", #"Error");
}];
[operation start];
but I'm getting this as print out:
2013-10-29 08:31:08.175 EZ-POINT[4004:c07] testing
2013-10-29 08:31:08.175 EZ-POINT[4004:c07] (null)
As you can see, it is returning null, I was expecting this:
{"status": "user_invalid", "data": "", "token": "", "errors": ["user not found"], "user_id": ""}
I'm more accustomed to this way of setting up the request:
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"https://www.ez-point.com/api/v1/ezpoints"]];
AFJSONRequestOperation *operation = [AFJSONRequestOperation JSONRequestOperationWithRequest:request
success:^(NSURLRequest *request, NSHTTPURLResponse *response, id JSON) {
NSLog(#"%#",#"testing");
NSLog(#"%#",operation.responseData);
}
failure:^(NSURLRequest *request, NSHTTPURLResponse *response, NSError *error, id JSON) {
NSLog(#"%#", #"Error");
}];
[operation start];

AFImageRequestOperation in order not asynchronous

I am implementing a code that downloads images and saves them in the database of the app,
I have an array of objects, each object contains the image url and some other information. To Download the images I'm using the class library AFImageRequestOperation.h AFNetworking.
My code downloads and saves the data in the database, but need to notify the user which image is downloaded, eg: if I have an array containing 5 objects (quoted just above what each object), will have to do downloading the same order that is in the array, but as AFImageRequestOperation makes downloading asynchronously item 4 can be downloaded before the first item.
In short, I want to have control and only release for the next download when the previous one is completed.
I have a for that runs through the array of objects and calls a function for each position, the function has the following code:
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:[arrImagem valueForKey:#"urlimagem"]]];
AFImageRequestOperation *operation = [AFImageRequestOperation imageRequestOperationWithRequest:request imageProcessingBlock:nil success:^(NSURLRequest *request, NSHTTPURLResponse *response, UIImage *image){
Imagens *imagem = (Imagens *)[NSEntityDescription insertNewObjectForEntityForName:#"IMAGENS" inManagedObjectContext:managedObjectContext];
// Save Image
NSData *imageData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(image, 90);
[imagem setCategoria:cat];
[imagem setTitulo:[arrImagem valueForKey:#"titulo"]];
[imagem setDescricao:[arrImagem valueForKey:#"descricao"]];
[imagem setImagem:imageData];
NSError *error;
if(![managedObjectContext save:&error]){
NSLog(#"houve um erro muito grave");
//return false;
}else{
NSLog(#"Salvou imagem");
}
}failure:^(NSURLRequest *request, NSHTTPURLResponse *response, NSError *error){
NSLog(#"%#", [error localizedDescription]);
}];
[operation start];
I do not know if my question was very clear, but basically my question is similar to this link
AFImageRequestOperation is a subclass of NSOperation so you can use:
- (void) addDependency: (NSOperation*) operation
to make sure that one operation finishes before the other.
For example:
NSOperation *op1 = [[NSOperation alloc]init];
NSOperation *op2 = [[NSOperation alloc]init];
[op1 addDependency: op2];
This way op1 won't start before op2 is finished.
You can create a method in your class where you call the download code and add a block as parameter which receives the downloaded UIImage, the image url (and other infos that you need) or you can implement a delegate with the same params from the block. It can lock something like:
-(void)downloadImageWithSuccess:(void (^)(UIImage *image, NSString *url, OtherParms here))success
failure:(void (^)(NSError *error)failure {
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:[arrImagem valueForKey:#"urlimagem"]]];
AFImageRequestOperation *operation = [AFImageRequestOperation imageRequestOperationWithRequest:request imageProcessingBlock:nil success:^(NSURLRequest *request, NSHTTPURLResponse *response, UIImage *image){
Imagens *imagem = (Imagens *)[NSEntityDescription insertNewObjectForEntityForName:#"IMAGENS" inManagedObjectContext:managedObjectContext];
// Save Image
NSData *imageData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(image, 90);
[imagem setCategoria:cat];
[imagem setTitulo:[arrImagem valueForKey:#"titulo"]];
[imagem setDescricao:[arrImagem valueForKey:#"descricao"]];
[imagem setImagem:imageData];
NSError *error;
if(![managedObjectContext save:&error]){
NSLog(#"houve um erro muito grave");
//return false;
}else{
NSLog(#"Salvou imagem");
}
success(imagem, [request.URL absoluteString], otherParams);
}failure:^(NSURLRequest *request, NSHTTPURLResponse *response, NSError *error){
NSLog(#"%#", [error localizedDescription]);
failure(error);
}];
[operation start];
}
}
And when you call the method from your code you can do something like(using blocks):
[catalog downloadImageWithSuccess:^(UIImage *image, NSString *url, OtherParms here) {
//NOTIFY USER THAT THE IMAGE WITH URL HAS BEEN DOWNLOADED
}
failure:^(NSError *error) {
//NTOFIY USER THAT THE IMAGE FAILED
}
];
managed to solve my problem, sorry for the delay in posting the solution, follow the code below:
dispatch_group_t group = dispatch_group_create();
dispatch_group_enter(group);
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:strUrl]];
AFImageRequestOperation *operation = [AFImageRequestOperation imageRequestOperationWithRequest:request imageProcessingBlock:nil success:^(NSURLRequest *request, NSHTTPURLResponse *response, UIImage *image){
//your implementation
dispatch_group_leave(group); //<== NOTICE THIS
}failure:^(NSURLRequest *request, NSHTTPURLResponse *response, NSError *error){
//your implementation
NSLog(#"%#", [error localizedDescription]);
}];
[operation start];
dispatch_group_wait(group, DISPATCH_TIME_FOREVER);
Thus the downloads ocorerão in order, if this code is inside a case, the next download will only be called when the method success^: or failure^: is called

Using AFHTTPClient for multiple JSONRequestOperations

I'm relatively new to AFNetworking and would like to find a better solution for the following problem.
I am using 2 AFJSONRequestOperations at the start of my iOS application.
AFJSONRequestOperation *operation1 = [AFJSONRequestOperation JSONRequestOperationWithRequest:request1 success:^(NSURLRequest *request, NSHTTPURLResponse *response, id JSON) {
// do something
}failure:^(NSURLRequest *request, NSHTTPURLResponse *response, id JSON, NSError *error){
// do something
}];
AFJSONRequestOperation *operation2 = [AFJSONRequestOperation JSONRequestOperationWithRequest:request2 success:^(NSURLRequest *request, NSHTTPURLResponse *response, id JSON) {
// do something
}failure:^(NSURLRequest *request, NSHTTPURLResponse *response, id JSON, NSError *error) {
// do something
}];
[operation1 start];
[operation2 start];
I wait for both operations to finish and start further processing.
I thought I can combine both of this operations into the enqueueBatchOfHTTPRequestOperationsWithRequests method.
AFHTTPClient *client = [[AFHTTPClient alloc] init];
NSArray *requests = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:operation1, operation2, nil];
[client enqueueBatchOfHTTPRequestOperationsWithRequests:requests progressBlock:^(NSUInteger numberOfFinishedOperations, NSUInteger totalNumberOfOperations) {
// track operations
}completionBlock:^(NSArray *operations) {
// do something
}];
So I would like to track the finished operations and execute the completion block for each operation separatly. Is it something I can perform with AFHTTPClient?

AFNetworking : Cancelled, No Request

Dumb question. I'm just pasting the example AFNetworking code in:
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:#"https://gowalla.com/users/mattt.json"];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
AFJSONRequestOperation *operation = [AFJSONRequestOperation JSONRequestOperationWithRequest:request success:^(NSURLRequest *request, NSHTTPURLResponse *response, id JSON) {
NSLog(#"Name: %# %#", [JSON valueForKeyPath:#"first_name"], [JSON valueForKeyPath:#"last_name"]);
} failure:nil];
[operation start];
But, nothing happens. If I output operation to NSLog it looks like the request was cancelled:
<AFJSONRequestOperation: 0x81655f0, state: isExecuting, cancelled: NO request: <NSURLRequest https://gowalla.com/users/mattt.json>, response: (null)>
What am I doing wrong?
Your best bet would be to add a failure block and then inspect the variables provided in that
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:#"https://gowalla.com/users/mattt.json"];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
AFJSONRequestOperation *operation = [AFJSONRequestOperation JSONRequestOperationWithRequest:request success:^(NSURLRequest *request, NSHTTPURLResponse *response, id JSON) {
NSLog(#"Name: %# %#", [JSON valueForKeyPath:#"first_name"], [JSON valueForKeyPath:#"last_name"]);
} failure:^(NSURLRequest *request, NSHTTPURLResponse *response, NSError *error, id JSON) {
NSLog(#"%#", [error localizedDescription]);
}];
[operation start];

AFNetworking + AFJSONRequestOperation + Rails

I'm using NSMutableURLRequest before using AFJSONOperationRequest and I have a problems getting the data in my Rails app.
If I use :
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[HTTPClient sharedClient] multipartFormRequestWithMethod:#"POST" path:path parameters:dict constructingBodyWithBlock: ^(id <AFMultipartFormData>formData)
{
}];
Then :
AFJSONRequestOperation *operation = [AFJSONRequestOperation JSONRequestOperationWithRequest:request success:^(NSURLRequest *request, NSHTTPURLResponse *response, id JSON)
{
else {
}
}
I get my data correctly formatted in the Rails logs:
Parameters: {"contact"=>{"country_id"=>"45", "lastname"=>"Tutu"}}
But I don't need AFMultipartFormData to send a file... (no file to send)
So, instead, I use:
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[HTTPClient sharedClient] multipartFormRequestWithMethod:#"POST" path:path parameters:dict];
with my AFJSONRequestOperation too. But, my parameters are now not set correctly in my rails app:
Parameters: {contact[country_id] => "45", contact[lastname] => "Tutu"}
instead of
Parameters: {"contact"=>{"country_id"=>"45", "lastname"=>"Tutu"}}
I don't understand why. It looks like the body of the request is not set correctly when I don't use the block: "constructingBodyWithBlock".
Don't use multipartFormRequestWithMethod.
Just use the postPath method like this
[[YourHTTPClient sharedClient] postPath:path
parameters:dict
success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSString* path){
}
failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
}];
Edit:
If you need an operation use AFJSONRequestOperation directly
+ (AFJSONRequestOperation *)JSONRequestOperationWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)urlRequest
success:(void (^)(NSURLRequest *request, NSHTTPURLResponse *response, id JSON))success
failure:(void (^)(NSURLRequest *request, NSHTTPURLResponse *response, NSError *error, id JSON))failure;
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://yoursite.com/path"];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
AFJSONRequestOperation * operation = [AFJSONRequestOperation JSONRequestOperationWithRequest:request
success:^(NSURLRequest *request, NSHTTPURLResponse *response, id JSON) {
}
failure:^(NSURLRequest *request, NSHTTPURLResponse *response, NSError *error, id JSON) {
}];
