Question

Update: It seems to be a problem with the scope of the “results.” titleForHeaderInSection seems to be unaware of the “results” arrays content. Will post once I find a solution just in case anyone stumbles across this with the same problem.

How would I set each individual row in cellForRowAtIndexPath to the results of an array populated by a Fetch Request? (Fetch Request made when button is pressed.)

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    //  ... set up cell code here ...
    cell.textLabel.text = [results objectAtIndex:indexPath valueForKey:@"name"];

}

Edit:

- (NSArray *)SearchDatabaseForText:(NSString *)passdTextToSearchFor{
    NSManagedObject *searchObj;
    XYZAppDelegate *appDelegate = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];

    NSManagedObjectContext *managedObjectContext = appDelegate.managedObjectContext;
    NSFetchRequest *request = [[NSFetchRequest alloc] init]; 
    NSPredicate *predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"name contains [cd] %@", passdTextToSearchFor]; 
    NSEntityDescription *entity = [NSEntityDescription entityForName:@"Entry" inManagedObjectContext:managedObjectContext]; 
    NSSortDescriptor *sortDescriptor = [[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:@"name" ascending:NO]; 
    NSArray *sortDescriptors = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:sortDescriptor, nil];   

    [request setSortDescriptors:sortDescriptors];
    [request setEntity: entity]; 
    [request setPredicate: predicate]; 

    NSError *error;

    results = [managedObjectContext executeFetchRequest:request error:&error];
//  NSLog(@"results %@", results);

    if([results count] == 0){
        NSLog(@"No results found");
        searchObj = nil;
        self.tempString = @"No results found.";
    }else{
        if ([[[results objectAtIndex:0] name] caseInsensitiveCompare:passdTextToSearchFor] == 0) {
            NSLog(@"results %@", [[results objectAtIndex:0] name]);
            searchObj = [results objectAtIndex:0];
        }else{
            NSLog(@"No results found");
            self.tempString = @"No results found.";
            searchObj = nil;
        }       
    }

    [tableView reloadData]; 

    [request release];
    [sortDescriptors release];

    return results;
}

- (void)searchBarSearchButtonClicked:(UISearchBar *)searchBar{
    textToSearchFor =  mySearchBar.text;
    results = [self SearchDatabaseForText:textToSearchFor];
    self.tempString = [myGlobalSearchObject valueForKey:@"name"];   
    NSLog(@"results count: %d", [results count]);
    NSLog(@"results 0: %@", [[results objectAtIndex:0] name]);
    NSLog(@"results 1: %@", [[results objectAtIndex:1] name]);
}
@end

Console prints:

    return[results count];
 }

Answer 1

There’s no method -objectAtIndex:valueForKey:. Do you mean

cell.textLabel.text = [[myArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] valueForKey:@"object"];
//                     ^                               ****^

?

To composite Objective-C method calls you need multiple brackets, as shown by the ^‘s. Also, -objectAtIndex: only accepts an NSInteger, but indexPath is a NSIndexPath. To get the row from the index path, use the .row property, as shown by the *‘s.

Edit:

You seems to confuse -numberOfSectionsInTableView: with -tableView:numberOfRowsInSection:. A table contains one or more sections, and each section contains many rows (table view cells).

Your table have only 1 section, so you should return 1, or just remove this method as 1 is the default. And implement -tableView:numberOfRowsInSection: as

- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {
   return [results count];
}
