Accessing properties of objects in array to display in UITableViewCell - objective-c

Question

I am using an XML parser to get information from a blog to create a feed reader app. I created an object with properties that are the data for each blog entry (title, published, author...). I'm storing the data in the object, then using a pointer to put the object in an array of parsed data. When I go to access the properties to display them in my UITableView, every cell is the same, with the last blog entry's data for every one.
parser .m file
#interface Parser()
//This property holds the blog objects that were parsed
#property (nonatomic, strong) NSMutableArray *parsedResults;
//This property holds the current element content being parsed
#property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *currentElement;
#property (nonatomic, strong) FRFeedItem *blogEntry;
#end
#implementation SolsticeParser
#synthesize parsedResults = _parsedResults;
#synthesize currentElement = _currentElement;
// Will be used to truncate data parsed from publish tag so that it will only store the YYYY-MM-DD to self.blogEntry.datepublished
NSRange dateOnly = {0, 10};
//This method initializes the parser, sets the delegate, starts parsing, and returns the results.
- (NSMutableArray *)parseFeedWithResults:(NSURL *)URL
{
NSXMLParser *parser = [[NSXMLParser alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:URL];
parser.delegate = self;
self.parsedResults = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
[parser parse]; // Everything parsed here
return self.parsedResults;
}
...Here parsed data is saved to the properties of the BlogEntry object...
#pragma mark - Parser delegate
- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser
didStartElement:(NSString *)elementName
namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI
qualifiedName:(NSString *)qualifiedName
attributes:(NSDictionary *)attributeDict
{
// Custom blog object initialized here
if ([elementName isEqualToString:#"entry"]) {
if (!self.blogEntry) {
self.blogEntry = [[FRFeedItem alloc] init];
}
}
}
...
- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser
didEndElement:(NSString *)elementName
namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI
qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName {
if([elementName isEqualToString:#"title"]) {
self.blogEntry.title = self.currentElement;
} else if([elementName isEqualToString:#"published"]) {
self.blogEntry.datePublished = [self.currentElement substringWithRange:dateOnly];
} else if([elementName isEqualToString:#"entry"]) {
[self.parsedResults addObject:self.blogEntry];
}
}
In MyTableViewController.m:
#interface MyTableViewController ()
#property (nonatomic, strong) Parser* parser;
#property (nonatomic, strong) NSMutableArray* feedDataFromParser;
#end
#implementation MyTableViewController
// synthesize automatically done by Xcode v4.6
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
self.parser = [[Parser alloc] init]; // initialize parser by allocating memory on the heap
[self loadItems]; // automatically loads data to be displayed upon opening the app
}
- (void)loadItems
{
// information parsed from blog stored to a mutable array
self.feedDataFromParser = [self.parser parseFeedWithResults:[NSURL URLWithString:kFeedURL]];
}
...
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
//code not included for this question for brevity
// Configure the cell from data stored in mutable array of FRFeedItem objects
// PROBLEM:
cell.textLabel.text = [[self.feedDataFromParser objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] title];
cell.detailTextLabel.text = [[self.feedDataFromParser objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] datePublished];
return cell;
}
#end
As far as I can tell, there is nothing syntactically wrong. I've tried printing out the data parsed and saved to the object in the parser file as well as the value of indexPath.row, and both are correct.
What am I missing??

I think the problem is this line:
if (!self.blogEntry)
After you create the first one, you won't create any more. Try removing that if clause, and see if that fixes it.
