Re: Passing Arrays Between Widget and Plugin



Mark,

arrayWithObjects: returns an autoreleased array, so after your autorelease pool pops (probably at the end of the event loop) you're left with a dangling pointer. Just retain it.

Ok. let's start over. I've made a modified version of the "Fortune"
example widget that exhibits the same crash:
    http://homepage.mac.com/mrakes/.Public/ModFortune.zip
and compare to:
    <path to your developer stuff>/Developer/Examples/Dashboard/...

Instead of returning a string at a time to javascript, I attempted
to return an NSArray, and then display one of the strings in the array.
My getFortuneArray method is called (the NSLog() comes out), but then
the widget crashes.

any help is greatly appreciated...

Yes. I suppose your NSArray is the result of a objC call? Supposing you've figured out how to call it already from javascript (see these methods)

+ (NSString *)webScriptNameForSelector:(SEL)aSel;
+ (BOOL)isSelectorExcludedFromWebScript:(SEL)aSel;

you can do something like this:

var things = MyWidgetPlugin.someThings();
if (things) {
var thingCount = things.length;
for (var thingIndex = 0; thingIndex < thingCount; ++ thingIndex) {
var aThing = things[ thingIndex];
}


Does that help? Your plugin class just has an instance method like:

- (NSArray *)someThings;

Is it possible to obtain an array (NSArray) from a widget plugin in JavaScript?

TIA
