Answer 1

You can download the initial data ie the XML file by using something like this

- (void)downloadInitialData {
    NSUserDefaults* userDefaults =  [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
    if ([userDefaults boolForKey:@"DATA_DOWNLOAD_KEY"] == NO) {
        [self showWaitViewWithText:@"Downloading Data..."];
        [self fetchDataFromServer];
    }
}



- (void)fetchDataFromServer {

    //Call to server to downlaod data
    //When Data is successfully downloaded

    //Stop loading when data save completes
    [self stopLoading];

    //Update USerDefaults
    NSUserDefaults* userDefaults =  [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
    [userDefaults setBool:YES forKey:@"DATA_DOWNLOAD_KEY"];
    [userDefaults synchronize];
}

You can make call to [self downloadInitialData]; which will ensure that Data is downloaded only once when the application starts . You will have to fix it according to your requirements to download data by resetting the @"DATA_DOWNLOAD_KEY" key.

What you can do is:-

Suppose you have parsed your xml and stored data in array say ' dataArray '

Now you have to save your dataArray in NSUserDefaults

NSUserDefaults *pref1=[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
[pref1 setObject:dataArray forKey:@"parseData"];    
[pref1 synchronize];

Whenever you have to use this data you can extract it like:-

NSUserDefaults *pref1=[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
NSArray *dataArray=[pref1 objectForKey:@"parseData"];
