I am trying to do read a PLIST from URL to a NSMutableDictionary. Code

  • 0

I am trying to do read a PLIST from URL to a NSMutableDictionary.

Code before

autos = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];

[autos addObject:[[NSMutableDictionary alloc]initWithObjectsAndKeys:@"Auto 1", @"name", @"Auto.png", @"image", @"Klassiker", @"description" , nil]];

This works. But now I want to use a PLIST. And I am trying this, this way:

autos = [[NSMutableArray alloc]initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9358444/auto.plist"]]];

Thanks.

PLIST http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9358444/auto.plist

    Your property list contains a dictionary, but you’re trying to use it to instantiate an array. Do this instead:

    NSMutableDictionary *autos = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:
                                     [NSURL urlWithString:@"http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9358444/auto.plist"]];
