Hi,
This seems to be a common question, and I can't seem to find an answer to it. I was wondering if someone could help, or point me to a thread where someone did figure it out?
I'm basically trying to load up an external .xml file into the searchbar. It loads fine in the tableview, but when I hit the searchbar, and try to type in a letter, it crashes.
here's some of my stations.xml:
Code:
<dict>
<key>title</key>
<string>Name of station</string>
</dict>
here's my code for my rootviewcontroller:
Code:
@implementation RootViewController
@synthesize listOfItems;
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
//Initialize the array.
NSString *filePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"stations" ofType:@"xml"];
listOfItems = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:filePath];
//Initialize the copy array.
copyListOfItems = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
//Set the title
self.navigationItem.title = @"NYC Subway Stop";
UIBarButtonItem *backButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]
initWithTitle: @"Back"
style: UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered
target: nil action: nil];
[self.navigationItem setBackBarButtonItem: backButton];
[backButton release];
//Add the search bar
self.tableView.tableHeaderView = searchBar;
searchBar.autocorrectionType = UITextAutocorrectionTypeNo;
searching = NO;
letUserSelectRow = YES;
}
