Question

here is my function for fetching core data

- (void)fetchRecords {   

    // Define our table/entity to use  
    NSEntityDescription *entity = [NSEntityDescription entityForName:@"Fugitive" inManagedObjectContext:managedObjectContext];   

    // Setup the fetch request  
    NSFetchRequest *request = [[NSFetchRequest alloc] init];  
    [request setEntity:entity];   

    // Define how we will sort the records  
    NSSortDescriptor *sortDescriptor = [[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:@"name" ascending:NO];  
    NSArray *sortDescriptors = [NSArray arrayWithObject:sortDescriptor];  
    [request setSortDescriptors:sortDescriptors];  
    [sortDescriptor release];   

    // Fetch the records and handle an error  
    NSError *error;  
    NSMutableArray *mutableFetchResults = [[managedObjectContext executeFetchRequest:request error:&error] mutableCopy];   

    if (!mutableFetchResults) {  
        NSLog(@"Error in Fetching Result");
        // Handle the error.  
        // This is a serious error and should advise the user to restart the application  
    }

    // Save our fetched data to an array
    [self setFugitiveArray: mutableFetchResults];
    [mutableFetchResults release];
    [request release];
}

i got following error while running the program ‘Program received signal: “SIGABRT”‘

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'NSException'

Answer 1

if you have declare in app delegate then you should check it like :

if (managedObjectContext == nil) 
{ 
        managedObjectContext = [(YourAppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate] managedObjectContext]; 
        NSLog(@" %@",  managedObjectContext);
}
