Question

i have a custom class called contact. This class has attributes like name, address etc.
I wish to create an array of type contact and display the value of each attibute in a custom cell in UItableview.
Code to store the data in array:

while(sqlite3_step(compiledStatement) == SQLITE_ROW) {
            // Read the data from the result row
            NSString *aName = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:(char *)sqlite3_column_text(compiledStatement, 1)];
            myContact.nm = aName;
            NSString *aAddress = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:(char *)sqlite3_column_text(compiledStatement, 2)];
            myContact.address = aAddress;

            NSLog(@"%@",aName);     
            [list.details addObject:myContact];
            NSLog(@"%@", list.details);

}

here details is an array declared as @property(nonatomic,retain)NSMutableArray *details; in .h

My question is that how do i retrieve the values on each index like :

[0]->name
[0]->address

[1]->name
[1]->address ....

my code in tableview.m:

cell.name.text = [details objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]; // not working

how do i solve this?

Answer 1

[details objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]; returns the Contact object. What you need is, nm property of Contact object which represents the name in your code.

Try this,

Contact *myContacts = [details objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]; 
cell.name.text = [myContacts nm]; //or [[details objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] nm];

Similarly you can get [myContacts address] as well.

Edit:
Based on your question in comments, the answer is:

while(sqlite3_step(compiledStatement) == SQLITE_ROW) {

        Contact *myContact = [[Contact alloc] init]; //you should add this here, not outside the loop
        // Read the data from the result row
        NSString *aName = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:(char *)sqlite3_column_text(compiledStatement, 1)];
        myContact.nm = aName;
        NSString *aAddress = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:(char *)sqlite3_column_text(compiledStatement, 2)];
        myContact.address = aAddress;

        NSLog(@"%@",aName);
        [list.details addObject:myContact];
        NSLog(@"%@", list.details);

    }
