Question

I load annotations from a plist file and also I need to read images for a pin from the plist file.

I have tried the following code but it doesn’t work.

NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"data" ofType:@"plist"];
    NSDictionary *dict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:path];
    NSArray *anns = [dict objectForKey:@"Category1"];
    pinView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:[[dict objectForKey:anns] valueForKey:@"Icon"]];

My plist construction:

Answer 1

This looks wrong:

NSArray *anns = [dict objectForKey:@"Category1"];
pinView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:[[dict objectForKey:anns] valueForKey:@"Icon"]];
                                                        ^^^^

anns is an array, so it can’t be the key of your dictionary. My guess is that you want this:

NSArray *anns = [dict objectForKey:@"Category1"];
pinView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:[[anns objectAtIndex:0] objectForKey:@"Icon"]];
