I need to encode an array containing multiple instances of a custom NSObject class. However, upon doing so, it returns a crash with message :
-[Person encodeWithCoder:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x8ff2c50
the class contains multiple properties and to store them as a collection is the purpose of the class.
the encoder method upon which it crashes is such:
- (void)encodeWithCoder:(NSCoder *)encoder
{
[encoder encodeObject:_arrayOfPeople forKey:@"DataStoragePeopleArray"];
}
You need to implement the NSCoding protocol in your Person class. Any custom class you wish to encode, including when it is contained in a collection you are encoding, needs to implement NSCoding.
You'll need to implement encodeWithCoder: and initWithCoder:.
Here is the documentation for the NSCoding protocol:
I hope it will work.....
-(void)encodeWithCoder:(NSCoder *)aCoder
{
[aCoder encodeObject:_arrayOfPeople forKey:@"DataStoragePeopleArray"];
}
-(id)initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)aCoder
{
if(self = [super init]){
self.yourpoperty = [aCoder decodeObjectforKey:@"DataStoragePeopleArray"];
}
return self;
}
