I am using a pod called iOSDropDown to display a dropdown selection menu for a textfield. I am getting a list of data from php to populate that selection menu that Im storing in a variable.
The PHP data passed stored in a swift variable looks like this when printed -> "option01","option02","option03"... and so on. This is dynamic data that will change that is why I am retrieving from PHP/MYSQL Database instead of just manually typing in the options in the Swift array.
Below is my code. What I am trying to do is use the "dropdownData" variable that holds the options for the array. Each option should be in its own row and separately selectable. What I am getting is one option, one string of coding with all my options as shown in the picture below.How would I use the dropdownData variable to display options instead of one string, one option?
dropdownData = "option01","option02","option03"... etc. ALL OPTIONS STORED IN THIS ONE ARRAY
let dropdownData : String = (dumpsArray[indexPath.row] as AnyObject).value(forKey: "dropdownData") as! String
.
cell.nameField.optionArray = [dropdownData]
Image
In the image above there should be no comma after styrofoam cooler... the next product should be the next option displaying under the styrofoam cooler and separately selectable.
Seems like dumpsArray[indexPath.row] as AnyObject).value(forKey: "dropdownData") returns a String where names are comma separated,
so
if let nameString = dumpsArray[indexPath.row] as AnyObject).value(forKey: "dropdownData") as? String {
let namesArray = nameString.components(separatedBy: ",")
cell.nameField.optionArray = namesArray
}
That should do

I have solved the issue now, thanks for your help. I shouldn't have tried to save arrays with UITextViews, but I should have saved their text as strings instead. Here was the original question:
I have tried a lot, and googled a lot, but I can't solve this problem on my own. Whenever I try to save an array in userdefaults, it just is not working. I get the following error:
Thread 1: "Attempt to insert non-property list object (\n "<UITextView: 0x14001f800; frame = (0 0; 355 180); text = 'D'; clipsToBounds = YES; gestureRecognizers = <NSArray: 0x600003f01d10>; layer = <CALayer: 0x6000031c83e0>; contentOffset: {0, 0}; contentSize: {355, 30}; adjustedContentInset: {0, 0, 0, 0}>"\n) for key content"
I don't know what a non-property list object is. And I do not know how to solve the problem. Below is the lines of code that do not work.
var contentList: [Any] = []
let cl = defaults.array(forKey: "content")!
if cl.count != 0{
contentList += cl
}
contentList.append(label)
defaults.setValue(contentList, forKey: "content")
If I take out the last line of code by turning it into a comment everything runs just fine. How should I replace that line of code? I essentially want to save an array of UITextViews and make it larger every time I call a fucntion (this code is part of a larger function). The reason why I have created another two lists (cl and contentList) is that it helps me with a problem down the line. What I cannot understand however, is why the last line of code doesn't work. If anyone has any ideas, please help me, it would be much appreciated.
Use only String as stated in comments :
var contentList: [String] = []
let cl = defaults.array(forKey: "content")!
if cl.count != 0{
contentList += cl
}
If lbText = label.text {
contentList.append(lbText)
defaults.setValue(contentList, forKey: "content")
}
You can only store a very limited list of data types into UserDefaults, commonly referred to as "property list objects" (Since property list (or plist) files will only store the same data types.
To quote the Xcode docs on UserDefaults, in the section titled "Storing Default Objects":
A default object must be a property list—that is, an instance of (or for collections, a combination of instances of) NSData, NSString, NSNumber, NSDate, NSArray, or NSDictionary [or Data, String, NSNumber, Date, Array, or Dictionary types in Swift.] If you want to store any other type of object, you should typically archive it to create an instance of Data.
(I added the equivalent Swift types to the above quote in square brackets, since it looks like Apple hasn't updated it for Swift.)
That's worded a little awkwardly. The idea is that you can only store data of the types listed. Because the Array and Dictionary types are "container" types, you can store any combination of arrays and dictionaries that contain combinations of any of the above types. For example, you can store an array that contains a dictionary, 3 dates, 2 floats, a Double, some Data, and 2 arrays, and those dictionaries and arrays can contain other dictionaries and/or arrays.)
It is almost always wrong to archive UIView objects like UITextViews. You should save the text properties of your text views instead.
If you want to manage a vertical stack of UITextView objects, I suggest adding a vertical stack view to your user interface, and then writing code that adds or removes UITextView subviews to your stack view. You should be able to find plenty of examples of adding and removing objects from stack views online. (It's really easy.)
If you want to manage a scrolling list of feeds of arbitrary length, you might want to use a table view or collection view instead. Those require that you set up a data model and implement a "data source". That takes a little practice to get right, but is very powerful.
I'm trying to create an array with an assortment of different randomized image files in it to display on a set of buttons in Tkinter. When a given button is clicked I'd like to add the text of that file's name to a new array. Basically, when button with imageX is clicked add "imageX" to a new array.
Unfortunately, I always get a return that isn't the image's filename, or the variable that I've set to correspond to that image, but instead either:
"tkinter.PhotoImage object at X" (where is X is a location like "0x0000020FC894D2E0") if the command is populationbeta.append (population[0])
or
"pyimage#" (where # is an integer that seems to relate to the number of images in the source file), if I change the command to populationbeta.append (str(population[0]))
I feel like there should be a simple way of doing this and I've tried every work around I can think of but I'm not getting it to work. Any help would be very much appreciated! Thanks!
Here's a shortened/simplified version of the code in question:
master=tkinter.Tk()
master.title("Not working")
a1b1c1 = PhotoImage(file = r"C:/users/jdavis319/documents/bushesoflove/BoLdraw/a1b1c1.png")
a1b1c2 = PhotoImage(file = r"C:/users/jdavis319/documents/bushesoflove/BoLdraw/a1b1c2.png")
a1b1c3 = PhotoImage(file = r"C:/users/jdavis319/documents/bushesoflove/BoLdraw/a1b1c3.png")
a1b2c1 = PhotoImage(file = r"C:/users/jdavis319/documents/bushesoflove/BoLdraw/a1b2c1.png")
a1b2c2 = PhotoImage(file = r"C:/users/jdavis319/documents/bushesoflove/BoLdraw/a1b2c2.png")
population = [a1b1c1, a1b1c2, a1b1c3, a1b2c1, a1b2c2]
populationbeta = []
populationbeta.append(population[0])
print(populationbeta)
This gives the result: "[<tkinter.PhotoImage object at 0x000001A419D4F070>]"
This gives the result: "[<tkinter.PhotoImage object at 0x000001A419D4F070>]"
Correct. That shows that you have a list of PhotoImage objects. If you want the filenames you can use .cget('file') on the objects. cget is a common tkinter method for getting the value of a configured option.
filenames = [image.cget('filename') for image in population]
Or, if you don't want to use a list comprehension to create a list of filenames, you can do it on an individual image like so:
populationbeta.append(population[0].cget("file"))
I have this array where I set the keys on the creation. Now in some point in my view I load some more information based on ids (the keys).
var colors = [
"37027" : UIColor(red:150/255, green:57/255, blue:103/255, alpha:1),
"12183" : UIColor(red:234/255, green:234/255, blue:55/255, alpha:1),
"44146" : UIColor(red:244/255, green:204/255, blue:204/255, alpha:1)
]
I want to add more colors to this array dynamically. How can I insert new items in the array setting the key? Something like
colors["25252"] = UIColor(red:244/255, green:204/255, blue:204/255, alpha:1)
The line above doesn't work, it is just to illustrate what I need.
Thanks for any help
Update: the code above is an example. Below the real code:
var placedBeacons : [BeaconStruct] = []
BeaconModel.fetchBeaconsFromSqlite(completionHandler: {
beacons in
for item in beacons{
self.placedBeacons["\(item.major):\(item.minor)"] = item
}
})
Error: Cannot subscript a value of type '[BeaconStruct]' with an index of type String
To match the key subscripting
self.placedBeacons["\(item.major):\(item.minor)"] = item
you have to declare placedBeacons as dictionary rather than an array
var placedBeacons = [String:BeaconStruct]()
It requires that item is of type BeaconStruct
The code you wrote, it should work. I have used such kind of code and was able to implement successfully. I just tested your code in my end and it's working for me. I declared colors variable globally in my class file and in view did load method added the second code to add another item in my colors array. After printing it out. My output shows full list of array with 4 items and the number of array count return 4 as well.
Please let me know, more details of your scenario so i can help you to figure it out the issue. but looks like it should work.
by selecting 1st tableView row/section I want to check if selected item already in 2nd tableView ?, if yes then find that selected item indexOfObject in 2nd tableView.
NSInteger sectionIndex = [[allSelectedProducts valueForKey:#"productID"] indexOfObject:[allProductData[indexPath.section] valueForKey:#"productID"]];
this will return the index of selected object in allSelectedProducts, Returns the lowest index whose corresponding array value is equal to a given object.
I want to perform this same task in swift, how can I achive that !
In Swift I've taken allSelectedProducts for 1st tableView and allProductData for 2nd tableView both arrays with Array<Dictionary<String, Any>> type
I want to perform this task without using Foundation classes, can we perform that same task in array using indexOf in Swift !?
let productIndex = allSelectedProducts.indexOf(<#T##predicate: ([String : Any]) throws -> Bool##([String : Any]) throws -> Bool#>)
If we can, then how ?
please guide me how to use indexOfin swift
thanx in advance for any help
Probably something like this:
let searchedProductID = allProductData[indexPath.section]["productID"]
let index = allSelectedProducts.indexOf { $0["productID"] == searchedProductID }
which is a direct translation of your original code
I have a View controller, with a tableview inside of it. I have a navigation button called "create". After the user has filled in a couple textfields and selected a cells from the UITableview i want the create button to create a parse object with the selected and inputed information.
I have these arrays..
var name = [String]()
var address = [String]()
var theseItems:[String] = [] //globalArray
im appending the selected cells to "theseItems" array.
//i have already queried and added what i wanted, to the name and address array..so they are filled with information.
didSelectRowAtIndexPath {
self.theseItems.append(name[indexPath.row] as String)
self.theseItems.append(address[indexPath.row] as String)
now with the create Button i want to create an object from this information but am having a hard time accessing the selected cell index path in the button...
#IBAction func createButton(sender: AnyObject) {
let thisObject = PFObject(className:"thisObject")
thisObject["name"] = name.text
thisObject["address"] = address.text
thisObject["selectedCell"] = theseItems(name[indexPath.row])
thisObject["selectedCell2"] = theseItems(address[indexPath.row])
//error** unresolved identifier "indexPath"
I'm not sure the correct way to access the array with a cells information.. to save it to parse. thanks in advance!
thisObject.saveEventually()
You can get the index paths of the currently selected cells by calling the indexPathsForSelectedRows() method on the table view (or indexPathForSelectedRow() if constrained to a single selection at one time).
You're trying to access a an array position from text, but text is a textField, not an array
