Hello this is my first post, so please be patient.

I am trying to add object self.simata to array self.simataList but the array stays with zero objects. The object self.simata is not nil and I don’t get any error.

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Are you sure you have created an instance of the array before you use it?

self.simataList =[NSMutableArray array];

It could also be your self.simata being nil…

EDIT

You could create the array instance in the default init method:

-(id)init
{
    self = [super init];
    if(self)
    {
        //do your object initialization here
        self.simataList =[NSMutableArray array];
    }
    return self;
}
