Question

Hey guys 🙂 I am quite new to stack overflow and iPhone programming. I am trying to parse a complex JSON to display some stuff in the UITableView.

a part of the JSON structure –

{"1":{"1":"Ent1","done":"No"},"2":{"1":"Ent2","done":"No"}}

I am able to parse through the main keys “1” and “2” and able to grab the values corresponding to the key “1” inside {“1″:”Ent1″,”done”:”No”}, {“1″:”Ent2″,”done”:”No”} store them into a dictionary/ a string with the following code :

for (NSString *key in dict)
{
    NSString *answer = [dict objectForKey:@"1"];
    NSLog(@"%@", answer);
}

The result is Ent1 and Ent2 because the code iterates over the for loop and checks for the objects with key “1”.

The problem is this – I want to store both the values(Ent1 and Ent2) into an array.

I use the following code:

NSMutableArray *array = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithObjects: answer, nil];

but it just takes the last index in the dictionary which is Ent2.

Could you please tell me how could I add both the values for key 1 into an array?

Thanks in advance 🙂

Answer 1

NSMutableArray *array = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];

for (NSString *key in dict) 
{ 
    NSString *answer = [dict objectForKey:key];
    [array addObject:answer];
}
