NSMutableArray count always returns zero

Question

I\'m sure I\'m doing something silly, but this is driving me crazy.

I\'m trying to loop through database results, create objects from those results, and add the obje

Answer 1

My guess, judging from the code you posted, is that you probably aren't allocating your array properly. When creating objects, you need to initialize them as well. Therefore, this:

Kana *htemp = [Kana alloc];

Should be:

Kata *temp = [[Kana alloc] init];

All objects need to be initialized this way. Thus, if I'm correct and you haven't initialized your array, then your creation needs to go from this:

NSMutableArray *hiragana = [NSMutableArray alloc];

to this:

NSMutableArray *hiragana = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];

For optimization reasons, you should probably also specify an initial capacity as well if you have any idea how many objects you might hold:

[[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity:someNumber];
