In my app I fetch a coredatabase and put results into an array called self.stores. I convert those store locations to MyLocation objects which have a distance property. I plot the MyLocation objects like so:
- (void)plotStorePositions:(NSString *)responseString {
for (id<MKAnnotation> annotation in _mapView.annotations) {
[_mapView removeAnnotation:annotation];
}
//CYCLE THRU STORE OBJECTS
for (Store * storeObject in self.stores) {
NSString * latitude = storeObject.latitude;
NSString * longitude = storeObject.longitude;
NSString * storeDescription = storeObject.name;
NSString * address = storeObject.address;
//CREATE MYLOCATION OBJECTS
CLLocationCoordinate2D coordinate;
coordinate.latitude = latitude.doubleValue;
coordinate.longitude = longitude.doubleValue;
MyLocation *annotation = [[MyLocation alloc] initWithName:storeDescription address:address coordinate:coordinate distance:0];
//CREATE A PIN FOR EACH MYLOCATION ANNOTATION
CLLocation *pinLocation = [[CLLocation alloc] initWithLatitude:annotation.coordinate.latitude longitude:annotation.coordinate.longitude];
//SET USERLOCATION (Must move this code out)
self.userLocation = [[CLLocation alloc] initWithLatitude:self._mapView.userLocation.coordinate.latitude longitude:self._mapView.userLocation.coordinate.longitude];
//SET USERLOCATION TO APPDELEGATE (Must move this code out)
AppDelegate *myDelegate = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
myDelegate.userLocation = self.userLocation;
//CALCULATE DISTANCE AND SET ITS THAT MYLOCATION's DISTANCE PROPERTY
CLLocationDistance calculatedDistance = [pinLocation distanceFromLocation:userLocation];
annotation.distance = calculatedDistance/1000;
[_mapView addAnnotation:annotation];
}
}
This is in a mapview. I then have a tableview where I fetch the same coredatabase and get self.stores again. Then I cycle through that array of self.stores to create STORE storeObjects to put into my tableview cells. But I want to sort those cells. How do I get MyLocation objects which should be in memory? Do I need to pass them to the appDelegate or to the tableview controller?
