ios - Create dictionary with dictionaries of arrays (sorted by a specific custom object property)? -

-

the title may confusing, apologies. maybe can advise me on more appropriate title.

i have .json file structured below. 

"sections": [{              "title": "locations",              "key": "location"              }], "contacts": [{              "title": "social worker",              "name": "mrs x",              "office": "xxxxxxxx",              "location": "lisburn",              "department": "xxxxxxxx",              "telephone": "xxx xxxxxxxx"              },...

when parsing this, create array called contactsarray. can create aecontact objects array so:

    (nsdictionary *contactdic in [contactsarray valueforkey:@"contacts"]) {     // create aecontact objects     _contact = [[aecontact alloc] initwithdictionary:contactdic];     [contacts addobject:_contact]; } self.contacts = [contacts copy];

in self.contacts array, value contact.location property interested in. need create separate arrays of related aecontact objects based on location property, map these location key in contactarray dictionary

this have tried far:

nsmutabledictionary *locationsdic = [nsmutabledictionary new]; // loop through contacts (int = 0; < self.contacts.count; i++) {     // sort location     if ([self.contacts[i] valueforkey:@"location"] == [[[contactsarray valueforkey:@"contacts"] objectatindex:i] valueforkey:@"location"]) {         [locationsdic setvalue:self.contacts[i] forkey:[[[contactsarray valueforkey:@"contacts"] objectatindex:i] valueforkey:@"location"]];     } }

and output is:

{     ballynahinch = "<aecontact: 0x15dda1fc0>";     bangor = "<aecontact: 0x15dda2210>";     lisburn = "<aecontact: 0x15dda1c70>";     ... }

when aecontact object has same location, sets key/value in dictionary , overwrites previous entry. need happen this:

{     lisburn = "<aecontact: 0x15dda18f0>",               "<aecontact: 0x15dda18f0>",               "<aecontact: 0x15dda18f0>";      bangor = "<aecontact: 0x15dda18f0>",              "<aecontact: 0x15dda18f0>",              "<aecontact: 0x15dda18f0>"; }

i'm not sure if output should should/will preview above, can assume have not yet achieved goal. how can create related aecontact objects in array , map them location key in locationsdic? thanks.

the title (and problem description) little tough follow, think you're trying index array of (aecontact) objects location parameter.

we can clarify tighter naming , find-or-create pattern process input.

nsdictionary *jsonresult = // dictionary begin nsarray *contactparams = jsonresult[@"contacts"]; nsmutabledictionary *contactsbylocation = [@{} mutablecopy];  (nsdictionary *contactparam in contactparams) {     nsstring *location = contactparam[@"location"];      // here's important part: find array of aecontacts in our indexed result, or      // create if don't find     nsmutablearray *aecontacts = contactsbylocation[location];     if (!aecontacts) {         aecontacts = [@[] mutablecopy];         contactsbylocation[location] = aecontacts;     }     aecontact *aecontact = [[aecontact alloc] initwithdictionary:contactparam];     [aecontacts addobject:aecontact]; }

contactsbylocation think you're looking for.

hi project arc based, using uinavigationcontroller make transition between viewcontroller. using profiler analyse happening behind scene memory. noticed when push viewcontroller allocate memory components , when pop not freeing allocated memory. since using arc unable implement dealloc or release component. have analysed in detail , there no memory leak in project. i not using strong property push viewcontroller. here how pushing viewcontroller. viewcontroller *obj = [[viewcontroller alloc] init]; [self.navigationcontroller pushviewcontroller:obj animated:no]; any clue whats going on? should free memory have consumed. please advise your description indicates have retain cycle, leads objects not being deallocated. typical source of retain cycles properties assigned loading nib files (usually declared iboutlet ). two strategies break them , release objects: declare property weak : @property (nonatomic, weak) iboutlet uilabel *statuslabel; set property nil in...
