您可以将数组抽象为具有访问器方法的数据容器类,然后使用键值观察来观察支持容器对象的数组何时更改(不能NSArray
直接使用 KVO)。
下面是一个用作数组顶部抽象的类的简单示例。您使用它的insertObject:inDataAtIndex:
andremoveObjectFromDataAtIndex:
方法而不是直接访问 withaddObject:
和removeObject:
。
// DataContainer.h
@interface DataContainer : NSObject
// Convenience accessor
- (NSArray *)currentData;
// For KVC compliance, publicly declared for readability
- (void)insertObject:(id)object inDataAtIndex:(NSUInteger)index;
- (void)removeObjectFromDataAtIndex:(NSUInteger)index;
- (id)objectInDataAtIndex:(NSUInteger)index;
- (NSArray *)dataAtIndexes:(NSIndexSet *)indexes;
- (NSUInteger)countOfData;
@end
// DataContainer.m
@interface DataContainer ()
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSMutableArray *data;
@end
@implementation DataContainer
// We'll use automatic notifications for this example
+ (BOOL)automaticallyNotifiesObserversForKey:(NSString *)key
{
if ([key isEqualToString:@"data"]) {
return YES;
}
return [super automaticallyNotifiesObserversForKey:key];
}
- (id)init
{
self = [super init];
if (self) {
// This is the ivar which provides storage
_data = [NSMutableArray array];
}
return self;
}
// Just a convenience method
- (NSArray *)currentData
{
return [self dataAtIndexes:[NSIndexSet indexSetWithIndexesInRange:NSMakeRange(0, [self countOfData])]];
}
// These methods enable KVC compliance
- (void)insertObject:(id)object inDataAtIndex:(NSUInteger)index
{
self.data[index] = object;
}
- (void)removeObjectFromDataAtIndex:(NSUInteger)index
{
[self.data removeObjectAtIndex:index];
}
- (id)objectInDataAtIndex:(NSUInteger)index
{
return self.data[index];
}
- (NSArray *)dataAtIndexes:(NSIndexSet *)indexes
{
return [self.data objectsAtIndexes:indexes];
}
- (NSUInteger)countOfData
{
return [self.data count];
}
@end
我们这样做的原因是我们现在可以观察对底层数组所做的更改。这是通过Key Value Observing完成的。显示了一个实例化和观察数据控制器的简单视图控制器:
// ViewController.h
@interface ViewController : UIViewController
@end
// ViewController.m
@interface ViewController ()
@property (nonatomic,strong) DataContainer *dataContainer;
@end
@implementation ViewController
static char MyObservationContext;
- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil
{
self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil];
if (self) {
// Instantiate a DataContainer and store it in our property
_dataContainer = [[DataContainer alloc] init];
// Add self as an observer. The context is used to verify that code from this class (and not its superclass) started observing.
[_dataContainer addObserver:self
forKeyPath:@"data"
options:(NSKeyValueObservingOptionOld | NSKeyValueObservingOptionNew)
context:&MyObservationContext];
}
return self;
}
- (void)observeValueForKeyPath:(NSString *)keyPath ofObject:(id)object change:(NSDictionary *)change context:(void *)context
{
// Check if our class, rather than superclass or someone else, added as observer
if (context == &MyObservationContext) {
// Check that the key path is what we want
if ([keyPath isEqualToString:@"data"]) {
// Verify we're observing the correct object
if (object == self.dataContainer) {
NSLog(@"KVO for our container property, change dictionary is %@", change);
}
}
}
else {
// Otherwise, call up to superclass implementation
[super observeValueForKeyPath:keyPath ofObject:object change:change context:context];
}
}
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
// Insert and remove some objects. Console messages should be logged.
[self.dataContainer insertObject:[NSObject new] inDataAtIndex:0];
[self.dataContainer insertObject:[NSObject new] inDataAtIndex:1];
[self.dataContainer removeObjectFromDataAtIndex:0];
}
- (void)dealloc
{
[_dataContainer removeObserver:self forKeyPath:@"data" context:&MyObservationContext];
}
@end
当此代码运行时,视图控制器会观察到对数据的三个更改并将其记录到控制台:
KVO for our container property, change dictionary is {
indexes = "<NSIndexSet: 0x8557d40>[number of indexes: 1 (in 1 ranges), indexes: (0)]";
kind = 2;
new = (
"<NSObject: 0x8557d10>"
);
}
KVO for our container property, change dictionary is {
indexes = "<NSIndexSet: 0x715d2b0>[number of indexes: 1 (in 1 ranges), indexes: (1)]";
kind = 2;
new = (
"<NSObject: 0x71900c0>"
);
}
KVO for our container property, change dictionary is {
indexes = "<NSIndexSet: 0x8557d40>[number of indexes: 1 (in 1 ranges), indexes: (0)]";
kind = 3;
old = (
"<NSObject: 0x8557d10>"
);
}
虽然这有点复杂(并且可能涉及更多),但这是自动通知可变数组的内容已更改的唯一方法。
