NSXmlparser does not gets into the did start element method in iphone

I have an xml based application. I have written all the code to do xml parsing but the main problem is my parser does not gets into the didStartElement method. It skips the didStartElement and foundCharacters method and directly gets into the didEndElement and returns count of 0 in my array. What may be the problem? I have compared with the proper elements of xml.

This is my api method; through this method I get xml file.

    #开发者_JAVA百科import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

    @interface api : NSObject {
        NSError *error;
        NSURLResponse *response;
        NSData *dataReply;


    }
    @property (nonatomic, retain)NSData *dataReply;

    -(NSData *)getBusXMLAtStop:(NSString*)stopnumber;
    @end


    #import "api.h"


    @implementation api
    @synthesize dataReply;
    //@synthesize stringReply;

    -(NSData *)getBusXMLAtStop:(NSString*)stopnumber
    {


        NSMutableURLRequest *request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL: 
                                        [NSURL URLWithString: [NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://www.google.com/ig/api?weather=,,,50500000,30500000",stopnumber]]];
        [request setHTTPMethod: @"GET"];
        dataReply = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:&response error:&error];
            NSLog(@"%@",dataReply);
        return dataReply;
    }

    -(void)dealloc
    {
        [super dealloc];
        [dataReply release];
    }

    @end

Check These thinks in your coding

[xmlParser setDelegate:self];       
[xmlParser setShouldProcessNamespaces:NO];
[xmlParser setShouldReportNamespacePrefixes:NO];
[xmlParser setShouldResolveExternalEntities:NO];    
[xmlParser parse];

---

If you've copy/pasted your code from your project, the reason, why ...didStartElement:... isn't called, is a minor typo:

// Your method:
-(void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didStartElement:(NSString*) elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString*)qualifiedName attribute:(NSDictionary*)attributeDict
// NSXMLParserDelegate's method:
- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didStartElement:(NSString *)elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName attributes:(NSDictionary *)attributeDict;

Read: You are missing an "s" on the last part of the selector.

If you've copied the selector from the docs, please go and file a bug — this type of stuff has bitten me quite a few times, too :-(

---

Update

In order to process attributes, you have to work with the dictionary you get passed in parser:didStartElement:…attributes:. (See Handling Elements in the "Event-Driven XML Programming Guide" for further reference.)
