Create a dictionary property list programmatically - ulquiorra - Jul 14, 2009 05:08 AM

Hello all ,

I seem to be a little stuck on the creating propertly list issue( new to iPhone development so bear with me ).
I want to create a dictionary which feeds data to my uitableview but I seem to be getting some hard luck.
I want to create a dictionary that resembles this one ( give or take a couple of items less )

I've looked at this tutorial
Property List Programming Guide: Creating Property Lists Programmatically

and I came up with a small sample of my own

Code:

/keys

NSArray *Childs = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"testerbet", nil];

NSArray *Children = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"Children", nil];

NSArray *Keys = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"Rows", nil];

NSArray *Title = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"Title", nil];

//strings

NSString *Titles;

Titles = @"mmm training";

//dictionary 

NSDictionary *item1 = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:Childs, Titles forKey:Children , Title];

NSDictionary *item2 = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:Childs, Titles forKey:Children , Title];

NSDictionary *item3 = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:Childs, Titles forKey:Children , Title];

NSArray *Rows = [NSArray arrayWithObjects: item1, item2, item3, nil];

NSDictionary *Root = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:Rows forKey:Keys];

// NSDictionary *tempDict = [[NSDictionary alloc] //initWithContentsOfFile:DataPath];

NSDictionary *tempDict = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithDictionary: Root];

it's obvious that i'm trying to use this data of hierachy for my tableviews..
I'm actually using this example

Drill down table view with a detail view - iPhone SDK Articles

So I was wondering how can I can create my propertylist( dictionary ) programmatically so that I can fill it with my own arrays.

those of you who read it thnx in advance
