Generating Random Names from Plist Files in iOS Development
Generating Random Names from Plist In this article, we will explore how to read a plist file and extract the forenames and surnames into mutable arrays. We will also discuss how to randomly select both a forename and a surname for a “Person” class. Understanding the plist Structure The plist (Property List) structure is as follows: Root (Dictionary) - Names (Dictionary) - Forenames (Array) - Item 0 (String) "Bob" - Item 1 (String) "Alan" - Item 2 (String) "John" - Surnames (Array) - Item 0 (String) "White" - Item 1 (String) "Smith" - Item 2 (String) "Black" Reading the plist File To read the plist file, we need to use the NSDictionary class.
