iOS How Can I Make Parsed XML Data Appear On Custom TableViewCell?

[loon3y]

I'm making a split view iPad product search.



in the debugger, it shows I'm getting the parsed data, it just won't show up on my table view, so i decided to make a custom TableViewCell creating the .h and .m files.


but i have a problem, i have my XML parser in my MasterViewController, but i want to assign it to a label in my Custom TableViewCell object.

- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didEndElement:(NSString *)elementName 
  namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName
{
    NSLog (@"didEndElement");
    
    if ([elementName isEqualToString:@"description"])
    {
        NSLog(@" decription:%@", capturedCharacters);
        
      


       StyleMasterCell.textView.text =  capturedCharacters;
     


}
    
    capturedCharacters = nil;   
    
    if ([elementName isEqualToString:@"str_smartsearch"]) 
    {
        // We are no longer in an item element
       inItemElement = NO;
    }
}

i only included description so it will be simple, and I wanna just at least get one thing working first and foremost.




this line: StyleMasterCell.textView.text = capturedCharacters;


does not work, how can i assign the parsed at a to the textView thats in the stylemastercell?

You should be able to get the the tableview to display your data in a basic form before needing to make a custom cell. Custom cells are about tweaking the display.

For a tableview your model is generally a collection of objects like an array.
If you change the data you do so by changing the array then let the tableview know it needs to update. There is a controller class that sits between the manages the feed of data between the model and the table.

You generally can't send a message to a cell.
You need to wait for the tableview to ask you for what info is displayed in a cell.

Might be worth taking a step back.
work through a tutorial that implements a tableview,like this one :-

From there work out how to adapt the Data model to suit your app.
