Bug in SeismicXML iPhone SDK sample code

Question

I'm writing an app based on SeismicXML for the XML parsing code, and it turns out there's a bug in the SeismicXML parser. The last item always seems to end up not getting saved to the list. This bug becomes evident when you change:
self.earthquakeLocationLabel.text = newQuake.location;
to
self.earthquakeLocationLabel.text = newQuake.description;
in TableViewCell.m.
I've banged my head into this in my own app only to test out the upstream sample code and find out that it has the same error. There's something about the last item that it parses that causes a problem.
I'm very new to Objective C but this feels like some sort of object initialization/retention/reuse problem...any pointers?

Answer 1

I found two reasons why this is not working. Both found in didStartElement(...)
#1
if (parsedEarthquakesCounter >= MAX_EARTHQUAKES) {
parser abortParsing;
This is premature. If MAX_EARTHQUAKES is set to 5, this condition will be true for any start element within that fifth entry.
#2
The call to addToEarthquakeList()
This is again premature. Since addToEarthquakeList also reloads the displayed table view, the fifth and last entry will never be displayed. The table is reloaded before any data is placed within the Earthquake object for that entry.
Solution
Remove both the if test case and function call above from didStartElement(...)
In didEndElement(...) add the case
else if (elementName isEqualToString:@"entry") {
//insert call to addToEarthquakeList here
//test for MAX_EARTHQUAKES HERE
}
