Requirement : i need to filter the JSON data in UITableView with UISearchBar so i placed UISearchBar (not UISearchBarController) to top of my view controller and i placed UITableView below to the UISearchBarand I also have api key which contains data in json format .
code in my view controller:
class FourthViewController: UIViewController,UITableViewDelegate,UITableViewDataSource,UISearchBarDelegate,UITabBarControllerDelegate,UISearchDisplayDelegate{
var arrDict = NSMutableArray()
var FilteredData = NSMutableArray()
var userid:String!
@IBOutlet var SearchButton: UISearchBar!
@IBOutlet var SlideShow: ImageSlideshow!
@IBOutlet var MyTableView: UITableView!
@IBOutlet var PostButton: UIButton!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.hidden = true
SearchButton.delegate = self
jsonParsingFromURL()
SlideShow.backgroundColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
SlideShow.slideshowInterval = 5.0
SlideShow.pageControlPosition = PageControlPosition.UnderScrollView
SlideShow.pageControl.currentPageIndicatorTintColor = UIColor.lightGrayColor()
SlideShow.pageControl.pageIndicatorTintColor = UIColor.blackColor()
SlideShow.contentScaleMode = UIViewContentMode.ScaleAspectFill
SlideShow.setImageInputs(alamofireSource)
}
func jsonParsingFromURL () {
if Reachability.isConnectedToNetwork() == true
{
Alamofire.request(.GET, "http://something.com", parameters: nil, encoding: .URL, headers: nil).response { (req, res, data, error) -> Void in
let dataString = NSString(data: data!, encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding)
print(dataString)
self.startParsing(data!)
}
}
else{
let alert = UIAlertController(title: "No Internet Connection", message: "make sure your device is connected to the internet", preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.Alert)
alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: UIAlertActionStyle.Default, handler: nil))
self.presentViewController(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
}
func startParsing(data :NSData)
{
let dict: NSDictionary!=(try! NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data, options: NSJSONReadingOptions.MutableContainers)) as! NSDictionary
for i in 0 ..< (dict.valueForKey("ads") as! NSArray).count
{
arrDict.addObject((dict.valueForKey("ads") as! NSArray) .objectAtIndex(i))
}
MyTableView.reloadData()
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return arrDict.count
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("FirstCell") as! FirstTableViewCell
let strTitle : NSString=arrDict[indexPath.row] .valueForKey("categoryname") as! NSString
let photoImage : NSString=arrDict[indexPath.row] .valueForKey("image1") as! NSString
let SecondImage : NSString=arrDict[indexPath.row] .valueForKey("image2") as! NSString
let ThirdImage : NSString=arrDict[indexPath.row] .valueForKey("image3") as! NSString
let FourthImage : NSString=arrDict[indexPath.row] .valueForKey("image4") as! NSString
let URL_API_HOST2:String = "https://www.imagestring.com/"
// let FourthData = NSData(contentsOfURL: NSURL(string: URL_API_HOST2 + (FourthImage as String))!)
cell.image1.sd_setImageWithURL(NSURL(string: URL_API_HOST2 + (photoImage as String)))
cell.image2.sd_setImageWithURL(NSURL(string: URL_API_HOST2 + (SecondImage as String)))
// cell.image2.image = UIImage(data: SecData!)
cell.image3.sd_setImageWithURL(NSURL(string: URL_API_HOST2 + (ThirdImage as String)))
cell.image4.sd_setImageWithURL(NSURL(string: URL_API_HOST2 + (FourthImage as String)))
cell.CategoryName.text = strTitle as String
return cell
}
Issue : I have already loaded one api key which is known as category..now i need fetch subcategory data using search bar..subcategory has another api....
Apple statement : UISearchController object manages the display of search results based on interactions with a search bar. description here
