So i'm building a small application, it uses core data database of ~25mb size with 4 entities. It's for bus timetables.
In one table named "Stop" there are have ~1300 entries of bus stops with atributes "name", "id", "longitude", "latitude" and couple relationships. Now there are many stops with same name but different coordinates and id. Search is implemented using NSPredicate. So I want to show all distinct stop names in table view, i'm using setReturnsDistinctResults with NSDictionaryResultType and setPropertiesToFetch. But setReturnsDistinctResult is not working and I'm still getting all entries.
Heres code:
- (NSFetchRequest *)fetchRequest {
if (fetchRequest == nil) {
fetchRequest = [[NSFetchRequest alloc] init];
NSEntityDescription *entity = [NSEntityDescription entityForName:@"Stop" inManagedObjectContext:managedObjectContext];
[fetchRequest setEntity:entity];
NSArray *sortDescriptors = [NSArray arrayWithObject:[[[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:@"name" ascending:YES] autorelease]];
[fetchRequest setSortDescriptors:sortDescriptors];
[fetchRequest setResultType:NSDictionaryResultType];
[fetchRequest setPropertiesToFetch:[NSArray arrayWithObject:[[entity propertiesByName] objectForKey:@"name"]]];
[fetchRequest setReturnsDistinctResults:YES];
DebugLog(@"fetchRequest initialized");
}
return fetchRequest;
}
/////////////////////
- (NSFetchedResultsController *)fetchedResultsController {
if (self.predicateString != nil) {
self.predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"name CONTAINS[cd] %@", self.predicateString];
[self.fetchRequest setPredicate:predicate];
} else {
self.predicate = nil;
[self.fetchRequest setPredicate:predicate];
}
fetchedResultsController = [[NSFetchedResultsController alloc] initWithFetchRequest:self.fetchRequest managedObjectContext:managedObjectContext sectionNameKeyPath:sectionNameKeyPath cacheName:nil];
return fetchedResultsController;
}
//////////////
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)table cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
}
cell.textLabel.text = [[fetchedResultsController objectAtIndexPath:indexPath] valueForKey:@"name"];
return cell;
}
