来自NSDictionary中的数组的NSArray

Question

I have a NSDictionary loaded from a remote PList. It contains an array of dictionaries:

(
    {
    id = "1234";
    count = "45";
    },
    {
    id = "244";
    count = "89";
    },
    {
    id = "9909";
    count = "123";
    }
)

How do I get this into an NSArray? I don't want separate arrays for each key. I just want an NSArray of NSDictionary.

There is probably a simple answer, but this has been bugging me.

Thanks

Answer 1

You say you have a dictionary containing the array. Whatever the key for the array is, just ask do [dictionary objectForKey:theKey] , and you'll have the array.

EDIT: From your comments, it sounds like you just have an NSArray which is not in an NSDictionary at all. If so, you already have what you are looking for.

Answer 2

How about:

NSArray *dicts = [NSPropertyListSerialization propertyListWithData:data
                                                           options:0
                                                            format:NSPropertyListOpenStepFormat
                                                             error:NULL];

Note that this is a deprecated plist format (XML or binary format is now preferred).

Answer 3

have u tried [dictionary objectAtIndex:0]objectAtIndex:0]. try iterating over objectAtIndex in the outer loop.

all the best.
