POSaving an object to array using NSMutableDictionary

Body
copied!<p>I have been trying to add an object as an NSMutableDictionary to my array, which I am accessing from another view, and It doesn't seem to work. I want to be able to store the data in a plist which I access from a NSDictionary.</p> <pre><code>-(void)saveAlarm:(id)sender { // Adding object for alarm to AlarmViewController alarmArrayCopy = alarmViewController.alarmsTime; NSMutableDictionary *newAlarm = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init]; [newAlarm setValue:labelTextField.text forKey:LABEL_KEY]; [newAlarm setValue:alarmPicker.date forKey:TIME_KEY]; [alarmArrayCopy addObject:(newAlarm)]; // Dismissing and tiding up. [self.navigationController dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES]; [newAlarm release]; } </code></pre> <p><strong>UPDATE: How do I add an NSDictionary to my plist database (my db is an array)?</strong></p> <p>Here is some new code, I updated the NSMutableDictionary to NSDictionary because in my plist you can only have normal dictionaries not a mutable one. But now it crashed and gives me a <code>Thread 1:Program received signal: "SIGABRT".</code></p> <pre><code>NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath]; NSString *finalPath = [path stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"data.plist"]; // Adding object for alarm to AlarmViewController NSDictionary *newAlarm = [[NSDictionary alloc] init]; [newAlarm setValue:labelTextField.text forKey:LABEL_KEY]; [newAlarm setValue:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", alarmPicker.date] forKey:TIME_KEY]; [newAlarm writeToFile:finalPath atomically:NO]; </code></pre> <p>or</p> <p>-(IBAction)saveAlarm:(id)sender {</p> <pre><code>// Adding object for alarm to AlarmViewController NSString *time = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", alarmPicker.date]; NSString *label = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",labelTextField.text]; NSDictionary *newAlarm = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithObjectsAndKeys:label, LABEL_KEY,time, TIME_KEY, nil]; self.alarmArrayCopy = alarmViewController.alarmsTime; [alarmArrayCopy addObject:(newAlarm)]; // Dismissing and tiding up. [newAlarm release]; [self.navigationController dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES]; </code></pre> <p>}</p>
