Cannot seem to pass an array to uitableview xcode - ios

Question

I am trying to display the contents of an array onto a uitableview. It works fine if I assign the values individually but when I try to display them from an array xcode exits with nothing in the debugging report except (lldb). It compiles and runs great until I go to the page with the tableview. I've looked up the error and it seems to pertain to memory allocation but I am unable to manually release anything due to having to have ARC enabled for some JSON classes to operate. Can anyone take a look and see what possibly might be the issue.
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
theArray = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:#"1","2","3","4",nil];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
}
#pragma mark Table view methods
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView {
return 1;
}
// Customize the number of rows in the table view.
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {
return [theArray count];
}
// Customize the appearance of table view cells.
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
// Set up the cell...
self.recentSearchesTable.backgroundColor =[UIColor clearColor];
self.recentSearchesTable.separatorColor = [UIColor clearColor];
cell.textLabel.font = [UIFont fontWithName:#"Helvetica" size:15];
cell.textLabel.text = [theArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.contentView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
return cell;
}
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
// open a alert with an OK and cancel button
NSString *alertString = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"Clicked on row #%d", [indexPath row]];
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:alertString message:#"" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"Done" otherButtonTitles:nil];
[alert show];
}

Answer 1

In viewDidLoad your array contains non-object items, change it too:
theArray = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:#"1",#"2",#"3",#"4",nil];
Note the # before each item in the array, indicating that they're NSString literals (and not c strings).

Answer 2

You did two mistake here first you need to initialize array in this way.
theArray = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:#"1",#"2",#"3",#"4",nil];
and another mistake is you need to initialize cell when it is nil
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator;
}
if you want whole code then like this way you need to implement.
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator;
}
// Set up the cell...
cell.textLabel.text = [theArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.contentView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
return cell;
}

First of all you do not need to disable ARC for your project due to an external class.You can exclude these classes by setting -fno-objc-arc flag.
Back to your answer
You should alloc a new cell if it can be reeused from a previous one.You should alloc you new cell if dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier does not return a cell.
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:Cellidentifier] autorelease];
}
Apart from that when you init your datasource array in viewDidLoad you need to add # before each element to indicate NSString.
