Question

i have a simple question : why does “origineArray” return (null) ? i found out that if i put all the code in the RootViewController it works, but if i put it in the AppDelegate (as it is in a sample code, i don’t which way is better?) , it does not recognize the “Root” key :

- (id)init {
    self = [super init];
    if (self){
        NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath];
        NSString *finalPath = [path stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"origine.plist"];
        origine = [[NSDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:finalPath]retain];
    }
    return self;
}


- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {    
    NSLog(@"origine data : %@", origine);
    NSArray *origineArray = [origine objectForKey:@"Root"];
    NSLog(@"origineArray data : %@", origineArray);

Thanks for your help

If your application delegate is created in a nib file, the init method is not called. Items in nibs are archived already initialized.

If you want initialization of an object loaded from a NIB, implement the - (void) awakeFromNib method.
