Loading Array From .Plist

Question

I'm trying to load my array from an array in my .Plist but its not working.

The plist looks like this:

This is the code I'm using:

NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle]pathForResource:@"DiseasePropertyList" ofType:@"plist"];
NSMutableArray *rootLevel = [[NSMutableArray alloc]initWithContentsOfFile:path];
self.myArray = rootLevel;
[rootLevel release];

Answer 1

Try this. Please change file name. It works fine.

NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];

NSString *recentFilePath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"recent.plist"];
NSArray *history = [NSArray arrayWithContentsOfFile:recentFilePath];

Answer 2

Your plist is actually a dictionary. The array is the object of that dictionary for key "Array". You can make the plist into an array in Xcode 4 by selecting "Array" and cutting (CMD-x), and then pasting into the empty plist (CMD v).
