votes

I have been stuck on this for some time now but whats happening is that when the request comes back from mysql there is a null value but how do i check that a null value has hit my condition so that i dont store this value in the array. The code is below

The error i keep getting is -[NSNull isEqualToString:]: unrecognized and im trying to bind the array inside a tableview

- (void)viewDidLoad {

JobAddSiteAppDelegate *ja = (JobAddSiteAppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];

tempArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
NSString *strURL = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://www.bestitjobs.co.uk/appresults3.php", ""];
NSData *nsData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString: strURL]];
//NSLog(@"JSON: %@", nsData);
//NSString *strResult = [[[NSString alloc] initWithData:nsData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding] autorelease];
//NSLog(@"Result: %@",strResult);

//NSError *e = nil;
JSONDecoder* decoder = [[JSONDecoder alloc] init];
NSDictionary* listDictionary = [nsData objectFromJSONData];
NSArray* people =[listDictionary objectForKey:@"jobs"];

for (NSDictionary *person in people) { 
    NSLog(@"people %@",people);
    if([person objectForKey:@"position"] != [NSNull class])
    { 
            NSString *position = [person objectForKey:@"position"];
            NSLog(@"position %@",position);
            [tempArray addObject: position];
    }
}
self.listData = tempArray;


[tempArray release];
[listData release];
[super viewDidLoad];

}

Just try this one:

if ([person objectForKey:@"position"]) {..}

This one is the same but maybe more readable:

if ([person objectForKey:@"position"] != nil) {..}

Hi Use the following code.

It is working Well.

Download Supporting Files

NSMutableArray *empArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];



SBJSON *parser = [[SBJSON alloc] init];


NSURLRequest *request1 = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://www.bestitjobs.co.uk/appresults3.php"]]];

NSLog(@"GGGG:%@",request1);


NSData *response1 = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request1 returningResponse:nil error:nil];



NSString *json_string = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:response1 encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];



NSDictionary *statuses = [parser objectWithString:json_string error:nil];


NSLog(@"List Dictionary:%@",statuses);
NSArray* people =[statuses objectForKey:@"jobs"];

for(NSDictionary *test in people)
{
    [empArray addObject:[test valueForKey:@"position"]];


}


NSLog(@"EMP ARRAY CATEGORY:%@",empArray);

Note: Before you Use SBJSon supporting files and import JSON.h

And check your console.

Check condition like this and add value to Array

for (NSDictionary *person in people) { 
   NSLog(@"people %@",people);
   NSString *position = [person objectForKey:@"position"];
   if(position) {
      [tempArray addObject: position];
   }
}
