I'm having a news ViewController
and a TeamViewController
. The TeamViewController
contain a tableView of teamObjects which when selected is added into array. I want to add this array into NSUserDefaults
so i can access them from the NewsController
which contain a url request where the teamObjects is needed. However i keep getting:
'Attempt to insert non-property list object ( "" ) for key teams'
I'm open for other suggestions if there is better ways than storing it in NSUserDefaults
didSelectRowAtIndexPath
method
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {
tableView.deselectRowAtIndexPath(indexPath, animated: true)
let team = self.teamArray[indexPath.row] as Team
var removed = false
for (index, value) in enumerate(self.teamSelected) {
if (value == team) {
self.teamSelected.removeAtIndex(index)
removed = true
}
}
if (!removed) {
self.teamSelected.append(team)
}
var userDefaults = NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults()
userDefaults.setValue(self.teamSelected, forKey: "teams")
userDefaults.synchronize()
tableView.reloadData()
}
My object
class Team: NSObject{
var id: Int!
var name: NSString!
var shortname: NSString!
init(id: Int, name:NSString, shortname: NSString) {
self.id = id
self.name = name
self.shortname = shortname
}
}
Actually, you will need to archive the custom object into NSData
then save it to user defaults and retrieve it from user defaults and unarchive it again.
You can archive it like this
let teams = [Team(id: 1, name: "team1", shortname: "t1"), Team(id: 2, name: "team2", shortname: "t2")]
var userDefaults = UserDefaults.standard
let encodedData: Data = NSKeyedArchiver.archivedData(withRootObject: teams)
userDefaults.set(encodedData, forKey: "teams")
userDefaults.synchronize()
and unarchive it like this
let decoded = userDefaults.data(forKey: "teams")
let decodedTeams = NSKeyedUnarchiver.unarchiveObject(with: decoded) as! [Team]
But if you just did that you will get
.Team encodeWithCoder:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance
You will have to make Team conform to NSCoding just like this
class Team: NSObject, NSCoding {
var id: Int
var name: String
var shortname: String
init(id: Int, name: String, shortname: String) {
self.id = id
self.name = name
self.shortname = shortname
}
required convenience init(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
let id = aDecoder.decodeInteger(forKey: "id")
let name = aDecoder.decodeObject(forKey: "name") as! String
let shortname = aDecoder.decodeObject(forKey: "shortname") as! String
self.init(id: id, name: name, shortname: shortname)
}
func encode(with aCoder: NSCoder) {
aCoder.encode(id, forKey: "id")
aCoder.encode(name, forKey: "name")
aCoder.encode(shortname, forKey: "shortname")
}
}
