predicateWithFormat NSMutableArray问题

Question

I have an error with predicateWithFormat causing a crash in my app.

The problematic code is:

@implementation SecondViewController
{
NSArray *searchResults;
}

@synthesize jsonConnection, bakeryProductArray, bakeryTableView;

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];

// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
[self retrieveData];
}

- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
{
[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}

#pragma mark - UITableView DataSource

-(NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
return 1;
}


-(NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
if (tableView == self.searchDisplayController.searchResultsTableView) {
    return [searchResults count];
}
else {
return [bakeryProductArray count];

}
}

-(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath     *)indexPath
{
static NSString *cellIdentifier = @"Cell";

UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellIdentifier];

if (cell == nil) {
    cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle   reuseIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
}

if (tableView == self.searchDisplayController.searchResultsTableView) {
    cell.textLabel.text = [searchResults objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
}
else {
foodProducts *currentProduct = [bakeryProductArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.textLabel.text = currentProduct.productName;
cell.detailTextLabel.text = currentProduct.productName;
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator;
}

return cell;

}

#pragma mark - UITableView Delegate methods

-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{

    [self performSegueWithIdentifier: @"bakeryDetails" sender: self];
}

    detailedViewController *productinfo = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"bakeryDetails"];
    //Retrieve current user array
    foodProducts *currentProduct2 = [bakeryProductArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
    productinfo.productName = currentProduct2.productName;
    productinfo.productImage = currentProduct2.productImgUrl;
    productinfo.productDescription = currentProduct2.productDescription;
    productinfo.productPrice = currentProduct2.productPrice;
    productinfo.productQuantity = currentProduct2.productquantity;
    productinfo.productAllergy = currentProduct2.productAllergy;

    [self.navigationController pushViewController:productinfo animated:YES];
    [bakeryTableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:YES];
}


//Becareful here as wrong predicateWithFormat can crash app on keying in search 
-(void)filterContentForSearchText:(NSString *)searchText scope:(NSString *)scope
{

                                                 selectedScopeButtonIndex]]];

    [bakeryProductArray addObject:myProducts];
}


[self.bakeryTableView reloadData];

}

FoodProduct class

@implementation foodProducts
@synthesize productID, productName, productImgUrl, productquantity,productDescription, productPrice, productAllergy;

-(id) initWithproductID:(NSString *)uproductID andproductName:(NSString *)uproductName andproductImgUrl:(NSString *)uproductImage andproductDescription:(NSString *)uproductDescription andproductquantity:(NSString *)uproductquantity andproductPrice:(NSString *)uproductPrice andproductAllergy:(NSString *)uproductAllergy
{
self = [super init];
if  (self)
{
    productID = uproductID;
    productName = uproductName;
    productImgUrl = uproductImage;
    productquantity = uproductquantity;
    productDescription = uproductDescription;
    productPrice = uproductPrice;
    productAllergy = uproductAllergy;

}
return self;
}

The array which is being fed into the NSPredicate is @property (nonatomic, strong) NSMutableArray *bakeryProductArray;

Error says: Can't use in/contains operator with collection

Any ideas, on whats going wrong?

Answer 1

Your array does not contain strings , but custom foodProducts objects.

To filter the objects by "product name", you would use

[NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"productName CONTAINS[cd] %@", searchText];

ADDED: There is another error in your code:

cell.textLabel.text = [searchResults objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];

cannot work because the right-hand side does not return a string. It should be

foodProducts *currentProduct = [searchResults objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.textLabel.text = currentProduct.productName;

Answer 2

NSPredicate *resultPredicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"self.productName contains[cd] %@", searchText];

NSArray *searchResults = [self.bakeryProductArray filteredArrayUsingPredicate:resultPredicate];

NSLog(@"%@",searchResults);

If above doesn't work can you show your foodProduct class (model).

Ideally you should use like[cd] instead of contains[cd].

Refer: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/cocoa/conceptual/Predicates/Articles/pSyntax.html 1 CONTAINS The left-hand expression contains the right-hand expression.

2 LIKE The left hand expression equals the right-hand expression: ? and * are allowed as wildcard characters, where ? matches 1 character and * matches 0 or more characters.
