I am new in Objective-C development, and I am trying to filter the content of a grouped UITableView.
This is what I did but still dosen't work :
- (void)filterContentForSearchText:(NSString *)searchText scope:(NSString *)scope
{
NSPredicate *resultPredicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"SELF CONTAINS[cd] %@", searchText];;
//activities is table that contains my objects that I display their contents in the table
self.filteredData = [activities filteredArrayUsingPredicate:resultPredicate];
}
- (BOOL)searchDisplayController:(UISearchDisplayController *)controller
shouldReloadTableForSearchScope:(NSInteger)searchOption
{
[self filterContentForSearchText:[self.searchDisplayController.searchBar text] scope:
[[self.searchDisplayController.searchBar scopeButtonTitles]
objectAtIndex:searchOption]];
// Return YES to cause the search result table view to be reloaded.
return YES;
}
//activite is my object that I use to desplay its attribut in table
IPADActivity *activite ;
if (ThetableView == self.searchDisplayController.searchResultsTableView) {
activite = [self.filteredData objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
}
else{
activite = [[objects
objectForKey:[objectsIndex objectAtIndex:indexPath.section]] objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
}
Any suggestion please

Above code logic is based on the json with dictionaries contained in an array and we create sections depending on PRICELISTCATEGORY value
[
{
"PRODUCT": {
"text": "GELDCMFRAME"
},
"PRODUCTMAJORGROUP": {
"text": "IC"
},
"PRICELISTCATEGORY": {
"text": "GELDISP"
},
"APNBARCODE": {
"text": "931000"
},
"PACKDESCRIPTION": {
"text": "Some Description"
},
"PRODUCTNAME": {
"text": "Description"
}
and so on
}, and so on
]
