AFNetworking tutorial of raywenderlich not displaying data on table cell

Question

I am learning AFNetworking using,

https://www.raywenderlich.com/59255/afnetworking-2-0-tutorial

But, For json part I am not getting data displayed on cell that displyed in this tutorial.

I am getting response in json format but after that nothing is displayed in cells.

    static NSString * const BaseURLString = @"http://www.raywenderlich.com/demos/weather_sample/";

    @interface WTTableViewController ()
    @property(strong) NSDictionary *weather;
    @end

    @implementation WTTableViewController

    - (id)initWithStyle:(UITableViewStyle)style
    {
        self = [super initWithStyle:style];
        if (self) {
            // Custom initialization
        }
        return self;
    }

    - (void)viewDidLoad
    {
        [super viewDidLoad];
        self.navigationController.toolbarHidden = NO;

        [self.tableView setDelegate:self];
        self.tableView.dataSource=self;
        // Uncomment the following line to preserve selection between presentations.
        // self.clearsSelectionOnViewWillAppear = NO;

        // Uncomment the following line to display an Edit button in the navigation bar for this view controller.
        // self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = self.editButtonItem;
    }

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

    - (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender
    {
        if([segue.identifier isEqualToString:@"WeatherDetailSegue"]){
            UITableViewCell *cell = (UITableViewCell *)sender;
            NSIndexPath *indexPath = [self.tableView indexPathForCell:cell];

            WeatherAnimationViewController *wac = (WeatherAnimationViewController *)segue.destinationViewController;

            NSDictionary *w;
            switch (indexPath.section) {
                case 0: {
                    w = self.weather.currentCondition;
                    break;
                }
                case 1: {
                    w = [self.weather upcomingWeather][indexPath.row];
                    break;
                }
                default: {
                    break;
                }
            }
            wac.weatherDictionary = w;
        }
    }

    }

    cell.textLabel.text = [daysWeather weatherDescription];
    NSLog(@"textLabel = %@", cell.textLabel.text);
    // Configure the cell...


    return cell;
}

I have this code in my table view controller.

This methods are used in delegate method in above code :

- (NSDictionary *)currentCondition
{
    NSDictionary *dict = self[@"data"];
    NSArray *ar = dict[@"current_condition"];
    return ar[0];
}

- (NSArray *)upcomingWeather
{
    NSDictionary *dict = self[@"data"];
    return dict[@"weather"];
}

I am getting response in json formate but cells are empty. Please refer tutorial if anything is missing here.

Thank you.

Answer 1

In success of data received you just printing data. you have to store that data in dictionary and reload tableview.

Use below code:

    AFHTTPSessionManager *manager = [AFHTTPSessionManager manager];
    [manager GET:string parameters:nil progress:nil 
    success:^(NSURLSessionTask *task, id responseObject) {

        self.weather = (NSDictionary *)responseObject; //add this line
        [self.tableView reloadData];                   //add this line

    } failure:^(NSURLSessionTask *operation, NSError *error) {
        NSLog(@"Error: %@", error);

        UIAlertView *alertView = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Error Retrieving Weather"
                                                            message:[error localizedDescription]
                                                           delegate:nil
                                                  cancelButtonTitle:@"Ok"
                                                  otherButtonTitles:nil];
        [alertView show];

    }];

Answer 2

You are missing following code from success block

    self.weather = (NSDictionary *)responseObject;
    self.title = @"JSON Retrieved";
    [self.tableView reloadData];

只需在加载到tableview之前检查一次天气dict的数据是否存在，以及从服务器获取数据完成之后，只需调用uitableView reloadData方法uitableView以便稍后加载代码接收到的数据。
