So i'm building a small application, it uses core data database of ~25mb size with 4 entities. It's for bus timetables.
In one table named "Stop" there are ~1300 entries of bus stops with atributes "name", "id", "longitude", "latitude" and couple relationships. Now there are many stops with identical name attribute but different coordinates and id. So I want to show all distinct stop names in table view, i'm using setReturnsDistinctResults with NSDictionaryResultType and setPropertiesToFetch. But setReturnsDistinctResult is not working and I'm still getting all entries.
Heres code:
- (NSFetchRequest *)fetchRequest {
if (fetchRequest == nil) {
fetchRequest = [[NSFetchRequest alloc] init];
NSEntityDescription *entity = [NSEntityDescription entityForName:@"Stop" inManagedObjectContext:managedObjectContext];
[fetchRequest setEntity:entity];
NSArray *sortDescriptors = [NSArray arrayWithObject:[[[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:@"name" ascending:YES] autorelease]];
[fetchRequest setSortDescriptors:sortDescriptors];
[fetchRequest setResultType:NSDictionaryResultType];
[fetchRequest setPropertiesToFetch:[NSArray arrayWithObject:[[entity propertiesByName] objectForKey:@"name"]]];
[fetchRequest setReturnsDistinctResults:YES];
DebugLog(@"fetchRequest initialized");
}
return fetchRequest;
}
/////////////////////
- (NSFetchedResultsController *)fetchedResultsController {
if (self.predicateString != nil) {
self.predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"name CONTAINS[cd] %@", self.predicateString];
[self.fetchRequest setPredicate:predicate];
} else {
self.predicate = nil;
[self.fetchRequest setPredicate:predicate];
}
fetchedResultsController = [[NSFetchedResultsController alloc] initWithFetchRequest:self.fetchRequest managedObjectContext:managedObjectContext sectionNameKeyPath:sectionNameKeyPath cacheName:nil];
return fetchedResultsController;
}
//////////////
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)table cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
}
cell.textLabel.text = [[fetchedResultsController objectAtIndexPath:indexPath] valueForKey:@"name"];
return cell;
}
