Creating a NSMutableArray from a NSArray Objective-C

Question

I have an NSArray that gives me the following data:

01/14/2013 13:28:06.559 IUser Reader [71164: c07] (
         {
         "id_acompanhante" = "";
         "id_evento" = 34;
         "user_id" = 1;
         "inserido_por" = "Himself";
         name = iUser;
         status = done;
         type = User;
     }
         {
         "id_acompanhante" = 1;
         "id_evento" = 34;
         "user_id" = 1;
         "inserido_por" = iUser;
         name = "Mayara Roca";
         status = naofeito;
         type = companion;
     }
)

How do I play this data to a NSMutableArray and add another field within each item. example:

  {
     "id_acompanhante" = "";
     "id_evento" = 34;
     "user_id" = 1;
     "inserido_por" = "Himself";
     name = IUser;
     status = done;
     type = User;
     tag = 2;
 }

I added one more field "TAG".

How do I do this?

Answer 1

NSMutableArray *mutableArray = [NSMutableArray array];

for (NSDictionary *dictionary in yourArray) {
    NSMutableDictionary *mutDictionary = [dictionary mutableCopy];

    [mutDictionary setObject:[NSNumber numberWithInt:2] forKey:@"tag"];

    [mutableArray addObject:mutDictionary];
}

This is how to do what you asked. Making the array mutable will not allow you to change the contents of a dictionary inside it. You need to pull out each dictionary and make that mutable and then store it back in the array.

Answer 2

Easy

NSMutableArray *mArray = [NSMutableArray arrayWithArray:yourArray]
[mArray addObject:yourObject];
