I'm parsing an RSS feed with NSXMLParser
and it's working fine for the title
and other strings but one of the elements is an image thats like
<!CDATA <a href="http:image..etc>
How do I add that as my cell image in my table view? Would I define that as an image type?
This is what i'm using to do my parsing:
- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didStartElement:(NSString *)elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName attributes:(NSDictionary *)attributeDict{
//NSLog(@"found this element: %@", elementName);
currentElement = [elementName copy];
if ([elementName isEqualToString:@"item"]) {
// clear out our story item caches...
item = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
currentTitle = [[NSMutableString alloc] init];
currentDate = [ [NSMutableString alloc] init];
currentSummary = [[NSMutableString alloc] init];
currentLink = [[NSMutableString alloc] init];
}
}
- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didEndElement:(NSString *)elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName{
//NSLog(@"ended element: %@", elementName);
if ([elementName isEqualToString:@"item"]) {
// save values to an item, then store that item into the array...
[item setObject:currentTitle forKey:@"title"];
[item setObject:currentLink forKey:@"link"];
[item setObject:currentSummary forKey:@"description"];
[item setObject:currentDate forKey:@"date"];
[stories addObject:[item copy]];
NSLog(@"adding story: %@", currentTitle);
}
}
- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser foundCharacters:(NSString *)string{
//NSLog(@"found characters: %@", string);
// save the characters for the current item...
if ([currentElement isEqualToString:@"title"]) {
[currentTitle appendString:string];
} else if ([currentElement isEqualToString:@"link"]) {
[currentLink appendString:string];
} else if ([currentElement isEqualToString:@"description"]) {
[currentSummary appendString:string];
} else if ([currentElement isEqualToString:@"pubDate"]) {
[currentDate appendString:string];
}
}
