I have a makeRequest()<\/code> method inside a UITableViewController with the following code:<\/p>\n

    func makeRequest() {\n\n    Alamofire.request(.GET, self.foursquareEndpointURL, parameters: [\n        \/\/\"VENUE_ID\" : self.foursquareVenueID,\n            \"client_id\" : self.foursquareClientID,\n            \"client_secret\" : self.foursquareClientSecret,\n            \"v\" : \"20140806\"\n            ])\n        .responseJSON(options: nil) { (_, _, data, error) -> Void in\n        if error != nil {\n            println(error?.localizedDescription)\n        } else if let data: AnyObject = data {\n            let jObj = JSON(data)\n            if let venue = jObj[\"response\"][\"venue\"].dictionaryValue as [String: JSON]? {\n                self.responseitems = jObj\n                println(\"venue is: \\(venue)\")\n            }\n            dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue()) {\n                self.tableView.reloadData() \/\/ Update UI\n            }\n        }\n    }\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
also keep in mind that I have a property var responseitems:JSON = []<\/code><\/p>\n
println(\"venue is: \\(venue)\")<\/code> prints a nice looking response to console, so I know that is working correctly…<\/p>\n
I also have a custom UITableViewCell class with a bindData()<\/code> method with the following code:<\/p>\n
func bindData() {\n    println(\"VenueDetailHeaderCell data did set\")\n    self.venueDetailTitleLabel.text = self.headerInfo?[\"name\"].stringValue\n    let labelData = self.headerInfo?[\"name\"].stringValue\n    println(\"labelData is: \\(labelData)\")\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
As you can see, I am attempting to set a UILabel’s text to the [“name”].stringValue in the JSON response. However, when I println(\"labelData is: \\(labelData)\")<\/code> I get console output of labelData is: Optional(“”) which is obviously empty.<\/p>\n
Here’s a screenshot of what I’m trying to grab<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
What am I doing wrong here and how can I grab the name of the venue and assign my UILabel to it?<\/p>\n
UPDATE:<\/p>\n
I tried the following code<\/p>\n
let labelData = self.headerInfo?[\"name\"].error\n    println(\"labelData is: \\(labelData)\")\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
And get a console output of: “Error Domain=SwiftyJSONErrorDomain Code=901 “Array[0] failure, It is not an array” UserInfo=0x7fd6d9f7dc10 {NSLocalizedDescription=Array[0] failure, It is not an array}” If that is of use to anyone. I am really confused here… Any ideas?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
