    copied!<p>I'm developing a social app. For current user, I need to randomly show other users of the app.</p> <p>I first want to use this code to get the number of users:</p> <pre><code>PagedRequest *request = [PagedRequest new]; request.perPage = 1; request.page = 1; [QBUsers usersWithPagedRequest:request delegate:self.proxy]; </code></pre> <p>I noticed that this is the XML returned:</p> <pre><code>&lt;users type="array" current_page="1" per_page="1" total_entries="13"&gt; &lt;user&gt; &lt;blob-id type="integer" nil="true"/&gt; &lt;created-at type="datetime"&gt;2013-07-24T06:16:13Z&lt;/created-at&gt; &lt;email&gt;xxxxxx@xx.com&lt;/email&gt; &lt;external-user-id type="integer" nil="true"/&gt; &lt;facebook-id nil="true"/&gt; &lt;full-name&gt;XXX xxx&lt;/full-name&gt; &lt;id type="integer"&gt;236286&lt;/id&gt; &lt;last-request-at type="datetime"&gt;2013-11-15T06:27:09Z&lt;/last-request-at&gt; &lt;login&gt;t2wu&lt;/login&gt; &lt;owner-id type="integer"&gt;4282&lt;/owner-id&gt; &lt;phone nil="true"/&gt; &lt;twitter-id nil="true"/&gt; &lt;updated-at type="datetime"&gt;2013-11-15T06:27:09Z&lt;/updated-at&gt; &lt;website nil="true"/&gt; &lt;user-tags nil="true"/&gt; &lt;/user&gt; &lt;/users&gt; </code></pre> <p>My intention is to get the 13 from the "total_entries=13", so I know that the total number of users, then make a request like this again:</p> <pre><code>PagedRequest *request = [PagedRequest new]; request.perPage = 1; request.page = [self randomAmong: 13]; [QBUsers usersWithPagedRequest:request delegate:self.proxy]; </code></pre> <p>where <code>[self randomAmong: 13]</code> just pick one number out of 1 and 13, then grab the user's profile picture and show it to the current user.</p> <p>Three questions:</p> <ol> <li><p>Although I can see the number 13 in the XML in the console output, I have no idea how to get that number. </p></li> <li><p>I only want to rotate through my mobile application users, not my developer's account (the account user). QuickBlox allows multiple applications associated with one QuickBlox account user; however, all users seems to be lumped together. Although I could make sure that I only have one application inside this account, I still need to be able to exclude myself from it. </p></li> <li><p>This is a relatively minor question. Although the above attempt to get the current number of users is not an attempt to log in, the delegate method <code>-(void)completedWithResult:(Result*)result</code> has result as a class of <code>QBUUserLogInResult</code>. I don't understand why it is, why isn't it <code>QBUUserPagedResult</code> or <code>QBUUserResult</code> which seems to make more sense?</p></li> </ol> <p>Thanks.</p>
