A function to write data to plist in Objective-c - objective-c

Question

Suppose I have a custom function called savePlist as below.
CommonClass.m
- (NSString *)getDirectoryPath
{
NSArray *pathList = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *path = [pathList objectAtIndex:0];
return path;
}
- (void)savePlist:(NSString *)fileName WithArray:(NSArray *)fileArr
{
NSString *path = [[self getDirectoryPath] stringByAppendingPathComponent:fileName];
[fileArr writeToFile:path atomically:YES];
}
While I run a code as below, no plist is generated.
ABCAppDelegate.m
...
[cc savePlist:#"example.plist" WithArray:[NSArray new]];
The file of example.plist has not been generated, is there any mistakes on my code?
Thanks
UPDATE:
If I use the code as below, the xxx.plist file has been generated successfully.
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *plistFile = [[paths objectAtIndex:0] stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"abc.plist"];
NSMutableDictionary *plist = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:plistFile];
if (!plist) {
plist = [NSMutableDictionary new];
[plist writeToFile:plistFile atomically:YES];
NSLog(#"write plist");
}
Reference: link
UPDATE 2:
I change the code as below:
NSLog(#"code");
[cc savePlist:#"example.plist" WithArray:[NSArray new]];
NSLog(#"code");
- (void)savePlist:(NSString *)fileName WithArray:(NSArray *)fileArr
{
NSLog(#"fileName = %#, fileArr = %#", fileName, fileArr);
NSString *path = [[self getDirectoryPath] stringByAppendingPathComponent:fileName];
NSLog(#"path = %#", path);
[fileArr writeToFile:path atomically:YES];
}
It just print out:
2011-10-10 14:24:00.560 ABC[3390:207] code
2011-10-10 14:24:00.561 ABC[3390:207] code
No message of fileName = and fileArr =, also path = print out on the log, so the code inside savePlist have not been executed?

Answer 1

It looks like your common class object is not instantiated, and you are sending all those messages to nil. Try logging cc in your app delegate code, where you call this method from.
You need to create an instance of your common class, something like
cc = [[CommonClass alloc] init];
(may vary depending on your set up).
