I'm just learning iphone development, so please forgive me for what is probably a beginner error. I've searched around and haven't found anything specific to my problem, so hopefully it is an easy fix.
The book has examples of building a table from data hard coded via an array. Unfortunately it never really tells you how to get data from a URL, so I've had to look that up and that is where my problems show up.
When I debug in xcode, it seems like the count is correct, so I don't understand why it is going out of bounds?
This is the error message:
2010-05-03 12:50:42.705 Simple Table[3310:20b] *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSRangeException', reason: '*** -[NSCFArray objectAtIndex:]: index (1) beyond bounds (0)'
My URL returns the following string:
first,second,third,fourth
And here is the iphone code with the book's working example commented out
#import "Simple_TableViewController.h"
@implementation Simple_TableViewController
@synthesize listData;
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
/*
//working code from book

@"Gloin", @"Bifur", @"Bofur", @"Bombur", nil];
self.listData = array;
[array release];
