Question

I have a problem that should be quite common. I have an Array of data called taskList this comes from a JSON and has several user data. So far, so good. I make the first objectForKey:@"desc" and returns the result (Description of user) but when I try to add another objectForKey (age for example) it shows only the age 🙁 This is the code:

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{

    UITableViewCell *cell = nil;
    cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"MyCell"];

    if (cell == nil){
        cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:@"MyCell"] autorelease];
    }

    NSLog(@"%@",taskList);
    cell.textLabel.text = [[taskList objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] objectForKey:@"desc"];
    return cell;
    cell.textLabel.text = [[taskList objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] objectForKey:@"age"];
    return cell;
}

Answer 1

do this instead:

NSString *desc = [[taskList objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] objectForKey:@"desc"];
NSString *age  = [[taskList objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] objectForKey:@"age"];

cell.textLabel.text = [desc stringByAppendingString:age];
return cell;

Another example, which formats the string (in this case the only difference is that I’m adding a space between the two but it introduces you to a very very helpful method) (and uses the two strings that we created above):

NSString *textForMyLabel = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@ %@", desc, age];
cell.textLabel.text      = textForMyLabel;

Or to do the same thing without the temporary variable textForMyLabel use:

cell.textLabel.text = [desc stringByAppendingFormat:@" %@", age];
