Question

I am trying to parse JSON data with AFNetworking AFJSONRequestOperation. But i am getting an empty UITable for some reason.

I managed to do it without AFNetworking.

Could someone please have a look at my code Google Drive

 #import "AFNetworking.h"


    #import "AFJSONRequestOperation.h"

    @interface KKViewController ()

    @end

@implementation KKViewController

@synthesize  movies = _movies, count = _count;


- (id)initWithStyle:(UITableViewStyle)style
{
    self = [super initWithStyle:style];
    if (self) {
        // Custom initialization
    }
    return self;
}

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];

    self.movies = [[NSArray alloc] init];

   // get data from youtube

 NSURL *url = [[NSURL alloc] initWithString:@"http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/playlists/PL0l3xlkh7UnvLdr0Zz3XZZuP2tENy_qaP?v=2&alt=jsonc&max-results=50"];

    NSURLRequest *request = [[NSURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:url];

    AFJSONRequestOperation *operation = [AFJSONRequestOperation JSONRequestOperationWithRequest:request success:^(NSURLRequest *request, NSHTTPURLResponse *response, id JSON) {



        self.movies = [JSON valueForKeyPath:@"data.items.video"];

        // NSLog(@@, video)

        //


        self.count = [JSON valueForKeyPath:@"data.items.video.thumbnail"];
        [self.activityIndicatorView stopAnimating];
        [self.tableView setHidden:NO];
        [self.tableView reloadData];

    } failure:^(NSURLRequest *request, NSHTTPURLResponse *response, NSError *error, id JSON) {
        NSLog(@"Request Failed with Error: %@, %@", error, error.userInfo);
    }];

    [operation start];

Answer 1

1. you should move you initiation code from viewDidLoad to viewWillAppear

2. numberOfSectionInTableView should return 1 and not 0
