How to create an NSDictionary with multiple keys?
You can have a NSDictionary
inside another NSDictonary
:
NSDictionary *eventLocation = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:@"43.93838383",@"latitude",@"-3.46",@"latitude", nil];
NSMutableDictionary *eventData = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:eventLocation,@"eventLocation", nil];
[eventData setObject:@"Jun 13, 2012 12:00:00 AM" forKey:@"eventDate"];
[eventData setObject:@"hjhj" forKey:@"text"];
.
.
.
NSMutableDictionary *finalDictionary = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:eventData,@"eventData", nil];
[finalDictionary setObject:@"ELDIARIOMONTANES" forKey:@"type"];
[finalDictionary setObject:@"accIDENTE" forKey:@"title"];
Now with Objective-C literals there is a much better, easier, and cleaner way of accomplishing this. Here is your exact dictionary with this new syntax:
NSDictionary *dictionary = @{
@"eventData": @{
@"eventDate": @"Jun 13, 2012 12:00:00 AM",
@"eventLocation": @{
@"latitude": @43.93838383,
@"longitude": @-3.46
},
@"text": @"hjhj",
@"imageData": @"raw data",
@"imageFormat": @"JPEG",
@"expirationTime": @1339538400000
},
@"type": @"ELDIARIOMONTANES",
@"title": @"accIDENTE"
};
// Prints: "43.93838383"
NSLog(@"%@", dictionary[@"eventData"][@"eventLocation"][@"latitude"]);
How to Create NSArray and with Access for object using NSDictionary ?
... Create NSArray
NSArray *studentkeys = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"studentName", @"studentBirthDate", @"studentCity", @"studentMobile" nil];
NSArray *objects = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"Pravin", @"27/08/1990", @"Bhavnagar",@"7878007531", nil];
...to Access to NSArray Object Using NSDictionary
NSDictionary *dictionary = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjects:objects forKeys:keys];
