Question

I am passing data to the view using this method:

nextViewController = [[AfricanSwallowViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"AfricanSwallowView" bundle:nil];
((InstructionsViewController *)nextViewController).byTheHusk = byTheHusk;

I am trying to iterate over the values on the view that byTheHusk gets passed to.

I have tried several versions of NSLog(@"%@", byTheHusk.name); and using objectAtIndexPath etc. with no luck

Is there a way to access the the objects entries attributes in a while or for loop style structure?

The closest I can get is:

NSManagedObject *managedObject = [self.fetchedResultsController objectAtIndexPath:0];
NSLog(@"%@",[[managedObject valueForKey:@"name"] description]);

which results in:

ByTheHusk[7880:207] (null)

Which means there are 207 entries. Is that right? and that ByTheHusk is getting passed correctly?

I am a noob to this all so thanks for any help!!!

Answer 1

I figured it out through some eduction and trial and error and error and error.

But I got it!!!!

NSMutableArray* annotations=[[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
// Save our fetched data to an array  
[self setEventArray: mutableFetchResults];  
[mutableFetchResults release];  
[request release]; 
//NSLog(@"%d",[eventArray count]);

for (int i = 0; i < [eventArray count]; i++) {
    //NSLog(@"%@",[[eventArray objectAtIndex:i] name]);

    CLLocationCoordinate2D theCoordinate;
    double latNum = [[[eventArray objectAtIndex:i] latitude] doubleValue];
    theCoordinate.latitude = latNum;
    double lonNum = [[[eventArray objectAtIndex:i] longitude] doubleValue];
    theCoordinate.longitude = lonNum;
    //-------------------------
    MyAnnotation* tempAnnotation=[[MyAnnotation alloc] init];
    tempAnnotation.coordinate=theCoordinate;
    tempAnnotation.title=[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",[[eventArray objectAtIndex:i] name]];
    tempAnnotation.subtitle=[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",[[eventArray objectAtIndex:i] name]];
    //-------------------------
    [mapView addAnnotation:tempAnnotation];
    [annotations addObject:tempAnnotation];
} 

Put it in an array and roll over it… thanks all for the guidance!
