unarchiveObjectWithFile returns NSArray



I am working on NSKeyArchive and running into the problem... What I am having so far is







1.-(BOOL)archiveItem

2.{

3. NSString *path = [self findPath];

4. if ([NSKeyedArchiver archiveRootObject:items toFile:wishListPath])

5. {

6. return YES;

7. }else{

8. return NO;

9. }

10.}

11.-(BOOL)unarchiveItem

12.{

13. NSString *path = [self findPath];

14. self.items = [NSKeyedUnarchiver unarchiveObjectWithFile:path];

15. NSLog(@"Class of items is %@",[self.items class]);

16. if (self.items == nil)

17. return NO;

18. else

19. return YES;

20.}







In my header file, items is declared like







@property (nonatomic, copy) NSMutableArray *items;







However, line 15 shows that type of items is NSArray ( not NSMutablArray)





Does anyone have an idea about this one,please help. All comments are welcomed. Thanks

  1. Change this line in your -(BOOL)unarchiveItem

    self.items = [NSKeyedUnarchiver unarchiveObjectWithFile:path];


    to

    self.items = [[[NSKeyedUnarchiver unarchiveObjectWithFile:path] mutableCopy] autorelease];


    change your declaration

    @property (nonatomic, copy) NSMutableArray *items;


    to

    @property (nonatomic, retain) NSMutableArray *items;

  2. Everytime you archive any object (mutable or immutable)...after unarchiving you will always get an "immutable" copy , so like X Slash wrote..obtain a mutable copy of the array..!!

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
