How do you delete a core data entry from the detail view?

Question

I am working with an app similar to apple's core data recipes sample code. I want to be able to delete the entry from the detail view, much like apple's contacts app.

The code below is deleting the 1st entry and not the selected entry. Not sure what I am doing wrong.

NSIndexPath *indexPath = [myTableView indexPathForSelectedRow];
NSManagedObjectContext *context = [fetchedResultsController managedObjectContext];
[context deleteObject:[fetchedResultsController objectAtIndexPath:indexPath]];
[myTableView reloadData];

Answer 1

The most likely problem is that indexPathForSelectedRow: is not returning the indexpath you think it is. Alternatively, if you section name key path is not setup correctly when you configured the fetched results controller, then you can get odd returns because it looses track of which rows go with which section.

Answer 2

Thanks for the help. This is the code that did the trick

NSManagedObjectContext *context = [fetchedResultsController managedObjectContext];

[context deleteObject:entry]; [myTableView reloadData];
