Display text from database in label field - cocoa

I am beginner , I have created database called MyDatabase. I want to display some rows from table in a label , my code is, let me know the solution please, thanks in advance
#interface ViewController ()
{
MyDatabase *data;
NSMutableArray *tickerarray;
}
#end
#implementation ViewController
-(void)action
{
label.text= #"Phase || possession: Jan 2014";
}
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
data=[MyDatabase new];
tickerarray=[data OpenMyDatabase:#"SELECT title FROM news_ticker" :#"title"];
time = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:2.0 target:self selector:#selector(action) userInfo:nil repeats:NO];
[label setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:#"Arial" size:15]];
label.textColor = [UIColor grayColor];
}
#end
EDIT:
-(NSMutableArray *)OpenMyDatabase: (NSString *)query:(NSString *)column {
self.databaseName=#"App_Database.sqlite";
FMDatabase *database=[self openDatabase: self.databaseName];
[database open];
NSArray *nsarr= [self storeDatabaseColumnInArray: database: query:column];
[database close];
}

Update the OpenMyDatabase method to return the array (note I changed its return type from NSMutableArray * to NSArray *):
- (NSArray *)OpenMyDatabase:(NSString *)query
column:(NSString *)column
{
self.databaseName=#"App_Database.sqlite";
FMDatabase *database=[self openDatabase: self.databaseName];
[database open];
NSArray *nsarr= [self storeDatabaseColumnInArray: database: query:column];
[database close];
return nsarr; // Added
}

Cocoa app scrolling slow when window on focus, fast when not

I have a cocoa app with a window containing an NSTableView. Each row has a few columns, three radio boxes and two buttons. Currently the table has 260 rows and when the window is focused the scrolling in the table view is atrociously slow and jittery. When the window is not focused and I mouse over the table view and scroll it's buttery smooth.
I've tried to solve the slow performance by changing the background drawing and enabling CoreAnimation Layer to no avail.
Why would the scrolling be fast when the window isn't focused but slow when it is?
I'm just baffled as to why the scrolling is so darn slow.

There's also code that establishes the SqLite DB connection and interacts with the DB to get the records or delete etc... but that's not really needed here... I also have code that draws the radio buttons and the other buttons but again, I don't think that's necessary unless someone thinks that the drawing is creating the slowdown...?
So it turns out that the drawing of the radio buttons is what is causing the slowdown... back to the drawing board.

ProgressView/ ProgressBar Xcode

I was wondering how to set the progress bar equal to max user input in xcode.
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIProgressView *progressBar;
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
_inputAmount.keyboardType = UIKeyboardTypeDecimalPad;
self.amount = [NSMutableArray new];
[self.amount addObject:#"Total Amount of Push-Ups:"];
[self.myList setDataSource:self];
_inputAmount = UIProgressViewStyleBar;
}
This is just a snipet of my code, the inputamount = progress bar is what I want to do, but I'm not really sure how to do it. I want the greatest input amount the be equal to the progressviewbar as well. So i would have to compare all the #s that were added to the array. Any ideas? Thanks!

Saving data to an existing plist

I am working on a project that has a simple tableview with detail view.
Data source is a plist. I am trying to allow user input to be saved into the plist and shown in tableview. i have created a add view controller which gets presented and dismissed modally and has two text fields which allow the user to add the name of the city and name of the states, also a text field to input description.
Problem: how to save this data to my existing plist and show it in the tableview. Here is my code for the table view:
#implementation TableViewController
#synthesize content, searchResults;

i know there are tons of almost similar questions and believe me i have looked at so many of them and i think i am hitting the wall with this one and i cant think of a proper way to do this. it may be so simple but for the life of me i cant figure this out and thats why i am trying to ask for help. i truly appreciate any help i can get. if needs be i can place the sample project on git hub for ease of access. also the project is built in ios 6 and the latest Xcode.
P.S. here is the link to the project on git hub: https://github.com/AdrianPhillips/TableSearch
I can't find your code that do the actual "save" work. I guess it should be in the UIAlertView delegate,right ? And you did not tell us what's your problem. Following code maybe what's you seeking.
[content writeToFile:filePath atomically:YES]
Another reminder is: you should NOT save the plist back to main bundle, save it to Documents or Cache or other folder.
Just as every one has pointed out you can not write to the plist that is in your main bundle. You need to copy it from the bundle to your application document directory. Then you can just init from and write to the path in your documents directory. The other issue you have, is that nothing is communicating the new data from the AddViewController back to the TableViewController. You should create a protocol and delegate for your AddViewController.
For all the gore details see my pull request on GitHub.
https://github.com/GayleDDS/TableSearch.git
You have to copy the plist to the Documents folder first. You can't edit it into the original app folder. You can use this class to do this:
- (void) CreatePlistCopyInDocuments:(NSString *)plistName {
// First, test for existence.
BOOL success;
NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
NSError *error;
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *writablePath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:plistName];
success = [fileManager fileExistsAtPath:writablePath];
if (success) {
return;
}
// The writable file does not exist, so copy from the bundle to the appropriate location.
NSString *defaultPath = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath] stringByAppendingPathComponent:plistName];
success = [fileManager copyItemAtPath:defaultPath toPath:writablePath error:&error];
if (!success) {
NSAssert1(0, #"Failed to create writable file with message '%#'.", [error localizedDescription]);
}
}
You have just to pass the plist name to it.
Then you have to load it into some NSMutableDictionary like this:
NSString *documents = [NSHomeDirectory() stringByAppendingString:#"/Documents"];
NSString *plistInDocuments = [documents stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"UserData.plist"];
NSMutableDictionary *plistData = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc]initWithContentsOfFile:plistInDocuments];
After you have updated the values for the dictionary, you have to write the file back to the documents like this:
[plistData writeToFile:plistInDocuments atomically:YES];

How to code calculations in Xcode using 2-component Picker and Text field entry

I am attempting to code an iPhone/iPad screen that outputs a value based on what is entered in a text field and what is selected in a 2-component picker. I have the basics done, right up to the point of having the entered/selected data appear, but short of performing the calculation. I have searched every resource I can find and have made use of all the relevant code I found, as you will see below.
Specifically, I want to allow the user to enter a dollar amount in one text field, select what pay frequency (hourly, monthly, etc) it is, select what pay frequency they would like to convert it to, and see the results in the other text field when they tap a button. Another button would clear the fields, so they can convert another amount. More specifically, if they wanted to see what their weekly wage of $310 was semimonthly, they would enter "310" in the first field, select "Weekly" in the first picker component, select "SemiMonthly" in the other component, and tap the Calculate button. The other field would then show $671.67 (310 * 52 / 24 = 671.67).
Just in case it is relevant, the View Controller this takes place on is tied to a Navigation Controller as one of 5 screens attached to one of 6 screens attached to the main View Controller (it takes a couple of taps to get to this screen).
So far, I can enter numbers into the two text fields and I can spin the 2 picker components and make their selections appear in labels, but that's where I'm stuck. I can find no examples of how to implement it.
Here is my ViewController.h code:
#interface PayFrequencyViewController : UIViewController
<UIPickerViewDelegate, UIPickerViewDataSource>
{
UIPickerView *payPicker;
NSArray *fromArray;
NSArray *toArray;
NSArray *fromValues;
NSArray *toValues;
UILabel *resultText;
UITextField *inputText;
}
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIPickerView *payPicker;
#property (strong, nonatomic) NSArray *fromArray;
#property (strong, nonatomic) NSArray *toArray;
#property (strong, nonatomic) NSArray *fromValues;

#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *resultText;
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextField *inputText;
- (IBAction)Convert:(id)sender;

#end
And here is my ViewController.m code:

My apologies for the lengthy post and the improperly formatted code. I hope someone can tell me what code is unnecessary and what is required to complete this task.

objectAtIndex - Message sent to deallocated instance

I am having a real problem finding where my problem is in my search controller. This is a table view with search bar and search display controller. It used to work fine, but all the sudden it stopped working. I turned on NSZombieEnabled and it shows that my NSArray called searchDataSource is the zombie.
When you type a search term the "shouldReloadTableForSearchTerm" executes the handleSearchForTerm function. The handleSearchForTerm" function accesses my ProductInfo class that query a SQLite database and returns the query results. Those results are then placed in my searchDataSource Array. Everything appears to work fine there. However, once I get to the "cellForRowAtIndexPath" function and I try to load the cells from the searchDataSource, that is when I run in to the problem of the Array having been deallocated.
Here is my code for the search controller:

I am quite new to objective-C and can't understand what I did wrong. I have spent days trying to figure this out and have had no luck. I would appreciate any help anyone can offer.

This bit of code seems to be the only place searchDataSource gets set:
NSArray *productInfo = [[ProductsDatabase database] searchListing:searchTerm];
self.searchDataSource = productInfo;
[self.mainTableView reloadData];
[productInfo release];
If ProductsDatabase follows the rules, you don't own the returned array (i.e. it is already autoreleased) so the release on the fourth line is incorrect.
Don't you mean to use your searchResults-array instead of your searchDataSource, because in handleSearchForTerm: you are adding the results to it. Why do you even have the searchResult ivar? It's only used in handleSearchForTerm:, maybe some mixup there?
