Question

I know this is an easy one, but I just started working with plists, and I am having trouble. I can write the Array to the plist no problem, but when I try to add a second array it just replaces the previous one.

Here’s the code:

self.excersizeArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity:4];
    [excersizeArray addObject:excersizeName];
    [excersizeArray addObject:numSets];
    [excersizeArray addObject:time];
    [excersizeArray addObject:restTime];
self.excersizesArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity:20];
    [excersizesArray addObject:excersizeArray];

Here is the plist:

Answer 1

Try using the NSMutableArray method addObjectsFromArray: to add the contents of the array rather than the array itself. For example,

self.excersizeArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity:4];
    [excersizeArray addObject:excersizeName];
    [excersizeArray addObject:numSets];
    [excersizeArray addObject:time];
    [excersizeArray addObject:restTime];
self.excersizesArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity:20];
    [excersizesArray addObjectsFromArray:excersizeArray];

All I’ve changed is the last line. This will add the contents of the array rather than the array itself.
