Hi guys. I'm learning STV now. STV web service binding is an great feature in STV 3.0 pro, i JUST implemented an demo that show you how to bind iTunes web service to list all of your apps. Share it with every STV guys.

- (void)demoWebServiceBinding
{
SCWebServiceDefinition *itunesDef = [SCWebServiceDefinition definitionWithBaseURL:@"https://itunes.apple.com/"
fetchObjectsAPI:@"lookup"
resultsKeyName:@"results"
resultsDictionaryKeyNamesString:@"trackName;sellerName;releaseDate"];
[itunesDef.fetchObjectsParameters setValue:@"504xxx87" forKey:@"id"]; // Your Team ID
[itunesDef.fetchObjectsParameters setValue:@"us" forKey:@"country"]; // Country
[itunesDef.fetchObjectsParameters setValue:@"software" forKey:@"entity"]; // Category is software

SCPropertyDefinition *textPropertyDef = [itunesDef propertyDefinitionWithName:@"trackName"];
textPropertyDef.title = @"App Name";
textPropertyDef.type = SCPropertyTypeTextView;
SCPropertyDefinition *userPropertyDef = [itunesDef propertyDefinitionWithName:@"sellerName"];
userPropertyDef.title = @"Seller Name";
userPropertyDef.type = SCPropertyTypeLabel;
SCPropertyDefinition *tweetedAtPropertyDef = [itunesDef propertyDefinitionWithName:@"releaseDate"];
tweetedAtPropertyDef.title = @"Release At";
tweetedAtPropertyDef.type = SCPropertyTypeLabel;

// Add tweets section
SCArrayOfObjectsSection *itunesSection = [SCArrayOfObjectsSection sectionWithHeaderTitle:nil webServiceDefinition:itunesDef];
itunesSection.itemsAccessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator;
itunesSection.allowAddingItems = NO;
itunesSection.allowDeletingItems = NO;
itunesSection.allowEditDetailView = NO;
itunesSection.allowMovingItems = NO;

itunesSection.sectionActions.didFetchItemsFromStore = ^(SCArrayOfItemsSection *itemsSection, NSMutableArray *items)
{
// Add a button cell at the end of the items list
if (items.count > 1)
[items removeObjectAtIndex:0]; // First entry is a fake so we delete it from data store!
};

itunesSection.cellActions.didSelect = ^(SCTableViewCell *cell, NSIndexPath *indexPath) {
// Get app link and open it in AppStore
id boundObject = cell.boundObject;
if ([boundObject isKindOfClass:[NSDictionary class]]) {
NSString *applink = [(NSDictionary *)boundObject objectForKey:@"trackViewUrl"];
if (applink) {
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:applink]];
}
}
};

itunesSection.sectionActions.cellForRowAtIndexPath = ^SCCustomCell*(SCArrayOfItemsSection *itemsSection, NSIndexPath *indexPath){

SCCustomCell *cell = [SCCustomCell cellWithText:nil
objectBindingsString:@"1:artworkUrl60;2:trackName;3:sellerName" // 1,2,3 is views' tag
nibName:@"TweetCell"];

return cell;
};

[self.tableViewModel addSection:itunesSection];

// Enable pull-to-refresh
self.tableViewModel.enablePullToRefresh = YES;
}

Awesome work! Thanks a lot for sharing

Hi devia,

WOW! That's great! Thanks very much.

It only shows 2 of my 3 App Store apps for some reason, I'll have to investigate further what's going on.

[Dave Guerin]

Ah, a quick google found this:


http://www.apple.com...search-api.html

And changing from this:

https://itunes.apple...ware&country=ie

to this:

https://itunes.apple...ware&country=us

get's all three apps. (Note country=us and not country=ie)

And changing back to @"us" instead of @"ie" in devia's code displays all three apps in the table.


Great!

This wasn't something I had considered doing, bit it will now come in VERY useful!

Thank you very much!

Apologies for the dumb question, but would you mind telling us exactly where in the project you are implementing this code?

[Dave Guerin]

Hi cometlinear,

It looked liked devia was working from the Twitter client example from the PDF book, especially as there's a reference to the TweetCell XIB in the code above.

I replaced that examples viewDidLoad: with the above code and it all just worked.

HTH
