    <p>Firstly, I am new with Objective C.</p> <p>I have my class Song that has a pair of attributes. In my main class i got a variable allSongs that is a NSMutableArray and in this array have I added all my song-objects. My problem comes when trying to call [self.allSongs removeObject:OBJECT]; Using the debugger, I can see that before the call, the list looks as expected. But after the call it will result that the targeted object will be removed but also the first element in the array will turn to nil. Is this a common pointer problem or what?</p> <p>Here is my code:</p> <p>in h file</p> <pre><code>@property (nonatomic, strong) NSMutableArray *songs; @property (nonatomic, strong) NSMutableArray *allChapters; </code></pre> <p>in m file</p> <pre><code>- (void)viewDidLoad { self.chosenChapter = [[NSString alloc]initWithFormat:self.chosenChapter]; self.allChapters = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init]; //Chapter names and chapter page range chapters = [[NSArray alloc]initWithObjects:@"chapter1", @"chapter2", @"chapter3", nil]; chaptersRange = [[NSArray alloc]initWithObjects:@"25", @"51", @"88", nil]; //Filnames of every song files = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithObjects:@"test", @"Feta_fransyskor", nil]; NSSortDescriptor *sortDescriptor = [[NSSortDescriptor alloc]initWithKey: @"page" ascending: YES]; self.songs = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init]; for(int i = 0; i &lt; chapters.count; i++){ Song *chapter = [[Song alloc]init]; [chapter setPage:(NSString *)self.chaptersRange[i]]; [chapter setTitle:(NSString *)self.chapters[i]]; [self.allChapters addObject:chapter]; [self.songs addObject:chapter]; } NSString *filePath; int i; for (i = 0; i &lt; files.count; i++) { filePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:files[i] ofType:@"txt"]; if(filePath){ NSError *error; NSString *textFromfile = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:filePath encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error: &amp;error]; /* index 0 for page number 1 for title name 2 for melody name 3 -&gt; for lyrics */ NSMutableArray *newLineseparatedText = (NSMutableArray *)[textFromfile componentsSeparatedByCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet newlineCharacterSet]]; if(newLineseparatedText){ Song *newSong = [[Song alloc]init]; [newSong setPage:newLineseparatedText[0]]; [newSong setTitle:newLineseparatedText[1]]; [newSong setMelody:newLineseparatedText[2]]; [newLineseparatedText removeObjectAtIndex:0]; //remove page number [newLineseparatedText removeObjectAtIndex:0]; //remove title name [newLineseparatedText removeObjectAtIndex:0]; //remove melody name [newSong setLyric:[newLineseparatedText componentsJoinedByString:@"\n"]]; [songs addObject:newSong]; } } } [self.songs sortUsingDescriptors:[NSArray arrayWithObject:sortDescriptor]]; [super viewDidLoad]; } -(void)addChapters{ for(int i = 0; i &lt; self.allChapters.count; i++){ if([self.songs containsObject:self.allChapters[i]] == false) [self.songs addObject:self.allChapters[i]]; } NSSortDescriptor *sortDescriptor = [[NSSortDescriptor alloc]initWithKey: @"page" ascending: YES]; [self.songs sortUsingDescriptors:[NSArray arrayWithObject:sortDescriptor]]; </code></pre> <p>}</p> <pre><code>-(void)addChapters{ for(int i = 0; i &lt; self.allChapters.count; i++){ if([self.songs containsObject:self.allChapters[i]] == false) [self.songs addObject:self.allChapters[i]]; } NSSortDescriptor *sortDescriptor = [[NSSortDescriptor alloc]initWithKey: @"page" ascending: YES]; [self.songs sortUsingDescriptors:[NSArray arrayWithObject:sortDescriptor]]; </code></pre> <p>}</p> <pre><code>-(void)removeChaptersExcept:(Song *) chapter{ for(int i = 0; i &lt; self.allChapters.count; i++){ if(self.allChapters[i] != chapter &amp;&amp; [self.songs containsObject:self.allChapters[i]]) [self.songs removeObject:self.allChapters[i]]; } </code></pre> <p>}</p> <p>last line of this code is were i get an error, as the mutableArray has a couple of nil elements.</p> <pre><code>- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath { if([self.chosenChapter isEqualToString:@"Alla"]){ [self addChapters]; } else{ Song *chapter = nil; for(int i = 0; i &lt; self.allChapters.count; i++){ if([((Song *)self.allChapters[i]).title isEqualToString:self.chosenChapter]){ chapter = self.allChapters[i]; break; } } [self addChapters]; [self removeChaptersExcept:chapter]; } NSString *cellIdentifier = nil; UITableViewCell *cell = nil; NSString *page = ((Song *)self.songs[indexPath.row]).page; </code></pre> <p>and here are some screen bumps</p> <p>This is before removing first object</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/EN9t0.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>This is after the first object was removed. You see how one element disapeared as expected and the other is set too nil?</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/snAuI.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>

    1. COyou should allocate your allChapters mutable array too. self.allChapters = [NSMutableArray alloc] init]; and ditto with self.songs variable After allocating the array you may call addObject on it. Also, its better to access all instance variables using self

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
