zksForceClient search method sample?

Hi,

 

  Is there a sample code snippet of using the search method of the zksForceClient when it returns objects of multiple types(like Account, Contact and others)? 

 

Thanks in advance and regards

You can't compare object points to compare string values, you need to use the isEqualToString: method on NSString. e.g. if ([[r type] isEqualToString:@"Contact"]) { // do something }

it returns an NSArray of ZKSObject instances, you can determine the salesforce type of each ZKSObject via the type getter

Thanks for quick response! A small sample code snippet will really help...

NSArray *res = [client seach:someSosl];

for (ZKSObject *r in res) {

NSLog(@"result is a %@", [r type]);

}

Maildrop uses search, see the who/what search code in https://github.com/superfell/maildrop/blob/master/maildrop/CreateActivityController.m

Thanks. I want to check the type of object whether it is a Contact, Account or any other. However, the following check fails:

 

if

( [r type] == @"Contact")

{

NSLog(@"%@", [ r valueForKey:@"Id"]);

}

 

even though I see the object is a Contact object in the XCode watch window.

 

May be I'm missing something simple...

Is it possible to use NSPredicate?

Not directly, if you wanted a challenge you could write something to generate soql or sosl from an NSPredicate.
