Question

I am having a requirement in which I have 5 keys stored in a NSDictionary corresponding to which I have stored 5 values from different arrays. My data structure looks like:

Dictionary is {

1 =     (
                {
            SubRegionName = "abc";
            WalkId = 123;
            WalkName = xyz;
        },
        {
        },....
2 =     (
                {
            SubRegionName = "abc";
            WalkId = 123;
            WalkName = xyz;
        },
        {
        },....
3 =     (
                {
            SubRegionName = "abc;
            WalkId = 123;
            WalkName = xyz;
        },
        {
        },....
4 =     (
                {
            SubRegionName = "abc";
            WalkId = 123;
            WalkName = xyz;
        },
        {
        },....
5 =     (
                {
            SubRegionName = "abc";
            WalkId = 123;
            WalkName = xyz;
        },
        {
        },
        )

The above data I am getting from sqlite according to some Id say tempId(1,2,3,4,5) and I want to use them separately. As I have to display the walkName as cell.textlabel.text and SubregionName as cell.detailtext.text in tableview.

I am not getting how to access this data from the dictionary. Can anyone please suggest me right way to do it.

My code is:

// For Database queries (To get data from database) ***********

-(void)getMainRegions
{
    sqlite3 *walkNameDB;
    if (sqlite3_open([[self databasePath] UTF8String], &walkNameDB) != SQLITE_OK) {
        sqlite3_close(walkNameDB);
        NSAssert(0, @"Failed to open Walk name database");
    }



    NSString *regionQuery = @"SELECT Rid,RName from MainRegions";

    sqlite3_stmt *teststatement = nil;

   // NSLog(@"%d",sqlite3_prepare_v2(walkNameDB,[regionQuery UTF8String], -1, &teststatement, nil));

    if (sqlite3_prepare_v2(walkNameDB,[regionQuery UTF8String], -1, &teststatement, nil) == SQLITE_OK)
    {
        RNameArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
        RIdArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];

        while( sqlite3_step(teststatement) == SQLITE_ROW )
        {

            NSNumber *RId;
            int temp1 = (int)sqlite3_column_int(teststatement, 0);
            RId = [[NSNumber alloc] initWithInt:temp1];

            char *RNameCharacter;
            RNameCharacter = (char *) sqlite3_column_text(teststatement, 1);
            NSString *RNameString = [[NSString alloc] initWithUTF8String:RNameCharacter];

            [RNameArray addObject:RNameString];
            [RIdArray addObject:RId];


        }

    }
    [self getWalks];
}

-(void)getWalks
{
    sqlite3 *walkNameDB;
    if (sqlite3_open([[self databasePath] UTF8String], &walkNameDB) != SQLITE_OK) {
        sqlite3_close(walkNameDB);
        NSAssert(0, @"Failed to open Walk name database");
    }

    RegionWalksDictionary = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];

    for(regionId in RIdArray)
    {
        regionWalkArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
        NSString *walkQuery = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"SELECT Wid,WName,SName from Walks,SubRegions WHERE Walks.Sid=SubRegions.Sid AND Rid = %d",[regionId integerValue] ];

        sqlite3_stmt *walkstatement = nil;

     //   NSLog(@"%d",sqlite3_prepare_v2(walkNameDB,[walkQuery UTF8String], -1, &walkstatement, nil));

        if (sqlite3_prepare_v2(walkNameDB,[walkQuery UTF8String], -1, &walkstatement, nil) == SQLITE_OK)
        {
            while( sqlite3_step(walkstatement) == SQLITE_ROW )
            {
                NSNumber *WId;
                int temp1 = (int)sqlite3_column_int(walkstatement, 0);
                WId = [[NSNumber alloc] initWithInt:temp1];

                char *WNameCharacter;
                WNameCharacter = (char *) sqlite3_column_text(walkstatement, 1);
                NSString *WNameString = [[NSString alloc] initWithUTF8String:WNameCharacter];

                char *SNameCharacter;
                SNameCharacter = (char *) sqlite3_column_text(walkstatement, 2);
                NSString *SNameString = [[NSString alloc] initWithUTF8String:SNameCharacter];

                NSMutableDictionary *tempWalk = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
                [tempWalk setObject:WId forKey:@"WalkId"];
                [tempWalk setObject:WNameString forKey:@"WalkName"];
                [tempWalk setObject:SNameString forKey:@"SubRegionName"];
                [regionWalkArray addObject:tempWalk];
            }
        }


        [RegionWalksDictionary setObject:regionWalkArray forKey:regionId];
     //   NSLog(@"arr%@",RegionWalksDictionary);

    }

}

Try this way…

for(id dict in RegionWalksDictionary){

        NSLog(@"WalkId: %@",[[[RegionWalksDictionary objectForKey:dict]objectAtIndex:0]objectForKey:@"WalkId"] );
        NSLog(@"WalkName: %@",[[[RegionWalksDictionary objectForKey:dict]objectAtIndex:0]objectForKey:@"WalkName"] );
        NSLog(@"SubRegionName: %@",[[[RegionWalksDictionary objectForKey:dict]objectAtIndex:0]objectForKey:@"SubRegionName"] );
        NSLog(@"----");

}

I have used as following (comment if this is not the structure or your data)

NSMutableDictionary *RegionWalksDictionary=[NSMutableDictionary new];
NSMutableArray *regionWalkArray=[NSMutableArray new];
NSMutableDictionary *tempWalk=[NSMutableDictionary new];

[tempWalk setObject:@"wk1" forKey:@"WalkId"];
[tempWalk setObject:@"wkName1" forKey:@"WalkName"];
[tempWalk setObject:@"srName1" forKey:@"SubRegionName"];

[regionWalkArray addObject:tempWalk];

[RegionWalksDictionary setObject:regionWalkArray forKey:@"1"];
[RegionWalksDictionary setObject:regionWalkArray forKey:@"2"];
[RegionWalksDictionary setObject:regionWalkArray forKey:@"3"];

NSLog(@"tempWalkd dict is %@",RegionWalksDictionary);
