    <p>First off you cannot write to anything in you mainBundle. For you to write to you plist you need to copy it to the documents directory. This is done like so:</p> <pre><code>- (void)createEditableCopyOfIfNeeded { // First, test for existence. BOOL success; NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager]; NSError *error; NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES); NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0]; NSString *writablePath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Template.plist"]; success = [fileManager fileExistsAtPath:writablePath]; if (success) return; // The writable file does not exist, so copy from the bundle to the appropriate location. NSString *defaultPath = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath] stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Template.plist"]; success = [fileManager copyItemAtPath:defaultPath toPath:writablePath error:&amp;error]; if (!success) NSAssert1(0, @"Failed to create writable file with message '%@'.", [error localizedDescription]); } </code></pre> <p>So calling this function will check if the file exists in the documents directory. If it doesn't it copies the file to the documents directory. If the file exists it just returns. Next you just need to access the file to be able to read and write to it. To access you just need the path to the documents directory and to add your file name as a path component.</p> <pre><code>NSString *docDir = [NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES) objectAtIndex:0]; NSString *filePath = [docDir stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Template.plist"]; </code></pre> <p>To get the data from the plist:</p> <pre><code>NSMutableArray *array = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:filePath]; </code></pre> <p>To write the file back to the documents directory.</p> <pre><code> [array writeToFile:filePath atomically: YES]; </code></pre>

    1. COno success still getting the null value for array, I have added your method - (void)createEditableCopyOfIfNeeded and then call it from view DidLoad, as [self createEditableCopyOfIfNeeded], after calling this function I have used your code to read the plist file but getting null value

    2. COI had run into that issue once. What you might have to do is reset the simulator. What this code does is if there is a file already there called Template.plist it will not override it. So if the file is already there then this code will not work for you until you remove it. This cane done by running the simulator and clicking iOS simulator menu and pressing reset content and settings. This will wipe the simulator clean. The other options is use NSLog(@"%@", filePath); and just follow the path until you find the file and remove it.

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.
