A question on how to Get data from plist & how should it be layout

Question

This is a follow up question on my first queries regarding retrieving data on plist. Right now i have manage to detect users touches made on my view with random image call o

Answer 1

Here are two methods to read and write values from a plist using an NSDictionary:

- (NSMutableDictionary*)dictionaryFromPlist {
    NSString *filePath = @"myPlist.plist";
    NSMutableDictionary* propertyListValues = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:filePath];
    return [propertyListValues autorelease];
}

- (BOOL)writeDictionaryToPlist:(NSDictionary*)plistDict{
    NSString *filePath = @"myPlist.plist";
    BOOL result = [plistDict writeToFile:filePath atomically:YES];
    return result;
}

and then in your code block somewhere:

// Read key from plist dictionary
NSDictionary *dict = [self dictionaryFromPlist];
NSString *valueToPrint = [dict objectForKey:@"Executable file"];
NSLog(@"valueToPrint: %@", valueToPrint);

// Write key to plist dictionary
NSString *key = @"Icon File";
NSString *value = @"appIcon.png";
[dict setValue:value forKey:key];

// Write new plist to file using dictionary
[self writeDictionaryToPlist:dict];
