I'm not really sure why my code is throwing a EXC_BAD_ACCESS, I have followed the guidelines in Apple's documentation:
-(void)getMessages:(NSString*)stream{
NSString* myURL = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://www.someurl.com"];
NSURLRequest *theRequest = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:myURL]];
NSURLConnection *theConnection=[[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:theRequest delegate:self];
if (theConnection) {
receivedData = [[NSMutableData data] retain];
} else {
NSLog(@"Connection Failed!");
}
}
And my delegate methods
#pragma mark NSURLConnection Delegate Methods
- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveResponse:(NSURLResponse *)response
{
// This method is called when the server has determined that it
// has enough information to create the NSURLResponse.
// It can be called multiple times, for example in the case of a
// redirect, so each time we reset the data.
// receivedData is an instance variable declared elsewhere.
[receivedData setLength:0];
}
- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveData:(NSData *)data
{
// Append the new data to receivedData.
// receivedData is an instance variable declared elsewhere.
[receivedData appendData:data];
}
- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection
didFailWithError:(NSError *)error
{
// release the connection, and the data object
[connection release];
// receivedData is declared as a method instance elsewhere
[receivedData release];
// inform the user
NSLog(@"Connection failed! Error - %@ %@",
[error localizedDescription],
[[error userInfo] objectForKey:NSErrorFailingURLStringKey]);
}
- (void)connectionDidFinishLoading:(NSURLConnection *)connection
{
// do something with the data
// receivedData is declared as a method instance elsewhere
NSLog(@"Succeeded! Received %d bytes of data",[receivedData length]);
// release the connection, and the data object
[connection release];
[receivedData release];
}
I get an EXC_BAD_ACCESS on didReceiveData. Even if that method simply contains an NSLog, I get the error.
Note: receivedData is an NSMutableData* in my header file
