My basic problem is I'm trying to populate a table view with selected entities from my plist using a 'category'. What would be the best approach to accomplish this? Would Core Data be a much friendlier data source? I'd rather not use Core Data, but I need something that works. Any suggestions would be greatly apprec!
Basically, my plist looks like this.
category 1 entity entity entity category 2 entity entity category 3 entity entity entity
I want to populate the table view with a single category of entities. So, if I wanted just the entities from category 2, thats what would be in the list. Should I construct the plist with category as a key-value pair within each entity or set the plist up as a hierarchy. I don't need a specific code example for an answer, but more a logical way to load the entites into the table. Each time I try to figure it out, my indexPath.row value loses sync with my libraryItemAtIndex value. Or am I just thinking of this entire problem the wrong way? Thanks for any input.
