I have experience with Java and Android development, and am now attempting to learn Objective-C and iPhone/iPad development. In order to help teach myself, I am re-writing an application I made for android over to iPhone.
I am trying to create a tableView, that will contain names of members, and then have contact information in a different view when pressed. Specifically, I am having trouble setting my cell label from my NSMutableArray "currentMembers", which is filled with NSObjects "member" that has five properties, being NSStrings. Two of the variables include a first name and a last name. I would like to set the cell label to be a full name, so a concatenated string of firstName + lastName. The following is some of the code from my tableview class.
**Just to clarify, my array is indeed filled with objects which are properly defined and not nil
.m
@implementation CurrentMemberViewController
@synthesize currentMembers = _currentMembers;
@synthesize alumniMembers = _alumniMembers;
@synthesize currentMembersLoadCheck = _currentMembersLoadCheck;
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
if(self.currentMembersLoadCheck == NO)
{
NSString *currentFilePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"akpsi_contact_list" ofType:@"txt"];
// NSString *alumniFilePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"akpsi_alumni_list" ofType:@"txt"];
[self readFileString:currentFilePath];
//[self readFileString:alumniFilePath];
self.currentMembersLoadCheck = YES;
}
}
- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
{
[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
return [self.currentMembers count];
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Current Member Name";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];
//if you dont have string, make default cell
if(cell == nil)
{
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
}
// Configure the cell...
cell.textLabel.text = [self.currentMembers objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
//rest of implementation for creating cell label.. above is not correct
return cell;
}
#pragma mark - Table view delegate
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
// Navigation logic may go here. Create and push another view controller.
/*
<#DetailViewController#> *detailViewController = [[<#DetailViewController#> alloc] initWithNibName:@"<#Nib name#>" bundle:nil];
// ...
// Pass the selected object to the new view controller.
[self.navigationController pushViewController:detailViewController animated:YES];
*/
}
- (NSString *)loadFileToString:(NSString *)filePath
{
NSError *error = nil;
NSString *fileContent = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:filePath
encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding
error:&error];
if(error)
{
NSLog(@"ERROR while loading from file: %@", error);
}
return fileContent;
