XML Parse Method

[ronbowalker]

I am successfully parsing a xml file from my server into my core data model. But I have it set up in the appDelegate and it autoprocesses when the app is opened. But I would like to move this process to a iSyncViewController that has an IBAction button on it.

Here is my call for help area:
I do not know how to reference this process from the iSyncViewController to the appDelegate. (if it is even done that way!)
Or if it should be all on my iSyncViewController .m and .h files, what is the process of getting this done properly?

I really do appreciates any feedback you can give me.

I can zip or put info on this blog as you need me to. Just request it and it will be done. Where do you want me to start?

Delegate Files....

Maybe take a look at this tut xml parsing iphone tutorial

do you mean that you want to re-parse it upon clicking a button?

In that tutorial is the section:

//Start parsing the XML file.
BOOL success = [xmlParser parse];

if(success)
NSLog(@"No Errors");
else
NSLog(@"Error Error Error!!!");

so I believe you just need to have that be your button code, after editing it slightly to point to the right place:

BOOL success = [appDelegate.xmlParser parse];

(after defining appDelegate for your particular app)

Thanks for the help...I will see what I can get working. Meanwhile, my xml parsing to core data processes correctly, but will not fetch. It crashes when I try to. It says that the Entity could not be found. Anyone have a good sequence for xml parsing to core data? I think mine might be too lame.

if ([elementName isEqualToString:@"employee"])
{
Employee *c = (Employee *)[NSEntityDescription insertNewObjectForEntityForName:@"Employee" inManagedObjectContext:managedObjectContext];

[c setName:[attributeDict objectForKey:@"name"]];
[c setEmail:[attributeDict objectForKey:@"email"]];
[c setPhone:[attributeDict objectForKey:@"phone"]];
[c setMobile:[attributeDict objectForKey:@"mobile"]];
}
