Xcode Data Controller Issue - ios

Question

I have an application that has the following parts:
StoreDataController.h
StoreDataController.m
StoreTableViewController.h
StoreTableViewController.m
I created a property & method in StoreDataController that retrieves data from a URL and converts it to JSON. I then store it in an Array. I'm trying to get the table controller to display the array in the table but it isn't displaying. What do I need to do to have the Table display the contents of the array? Here is the code I have:
StoreDataController.h
#interface StoreDataController : NSObject
#property (nonatomic, retain) NSArray *storeNames;
-(void)addStoreNamesObject:(NSArray *)storeNames;
#end
StoreDataController.m
#import "StoreDataController.h"
#import "SBJson.h"
#implementation StoreDataController
-(void)addStoreNamesObject:(NSArray *)storeNames
{
NSString *strURL = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"http://10.247.245.87/stores/dodge.php"];
NSData *dataURL = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:strURL]];
NSString *strResult = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:dataURL encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
storeNames = [strResult JSONValue];
}
#end
StoreTableViewController.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#class StoreDataController;
#interface StoreTableViewController : UITableViewController
#property (nonatomic, retain) StoreDataController *storeNameController;
#end
StoreTableViewController.m
#import "StoreTableViewController.h"
#import "StoreDataController.h"
#interface StoreTableViewController ()
#end
#implementation StoreTableViewController
- (void)awakeFromNib
{
[super awakeFromNib];
}
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
}
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
return 1;
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
return _storeNameController.storeNames.count;
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];
cell.textLabel.text = [_storeNameController.storeNames objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
return cell;
}
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
<#DetailViewController#> *detailViewController = [[<#DetailViewController#> alloc] initWithNibName:#"<#Nib name#>" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:detailViewController animated:YES];
*/
}
#end

You at least need something to set the storeNameController property inside your StoreTableViewController so that it references the StoreDataController object that is doing the work of building the array.
How you do that depends on what creates the StoreDataController object and how that's related to your view controller.
(Aside: In general, you should use self.propertyName instead of _propertyName.)
