ios compare boolean from json

Question

I got a boolean value from a json object using dictionary. at console, I can see 0 or 1. But my comparision always return true.

BOOL *result =[dictionary valueForKey:@"result"];

        if (result == YES) {

            [parser release];
        }
        else {
            errorLbl.text = @"Login failed";
        }

Answer 1

have you tried adding a boolValue at the end of [dictionary valueForKey:@"result"]boolValue];

Answer 2

You need to convert the value from the dictionary. You can't translate it directly to a BOOL * (BOOL pointer).

Suppose you get a NSString* from your dictionary, you can do:

NSString *result = [dictionary valueForKey:@"result"];
if ([result boolValue]) {
    [parser release];
} else {
    errorLbl.text = @"Login failed";
}

Assuming you can use boolValue message with your protocol.
