Display NSSet data from Core Data

Question

I am adding values into 2 entities within my core data model and the problem I am facing is trying to properly retrieve the NSSet and target the associated strings when accessing the detail view.I would simply like to display the results in a uitableview. I believe the values are being correctly added along with the relationships to the entities as I previously got help off the forum for it as viewable here. I am trying to recall the associated RoutinesDetail data on the detail view.

I know the seague is working correctly as I am able to set the title based on the selectedRow, so it is passing the data between view controllers. I can recall 'Routines' data using Ex.routinename

Using the following to debug and try to allocate the NSSet as I read a way to display it was to use allObjects but this didn't work:

NSArray *test= [Ex.routinedet allObjects];
NSSortDescriptor *desc = [[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:@"image"
                                                     ascending:YES];
test = [test sortedArrayUsingDescriptors:[NSArray arrayWithObject:desc]];

NSLog(@"Image *** %@",test);

This produces the following report which makes me question whether I am doing it right?

"<RoutinesDetails: 0x7453d80> (entity: RoutinesDetails; id: 0x74531f0 <x-coredata://C075DDEC-169D-46EC-A4B7-972A04FCED70/RoutinesDetails/p1> ; data: <fault>)" )

So basically I am looking at how to retrieve RoutinesDetails. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

In case it is needed here is the associated code

routines.h - NSManagedObject

@class RoutinesDetails;

@interface Routines : NSManagedObject

@property (nonatomic, retain) id routinename;
@property (nonatomic, retain) NSSet *routinedet;

@end

@interface Routines (CoreDataGeneratedAccessors)

- (void)addRoutinedetObject:(RoutinesDetails *)value;
- (void)removeRoutinedetObject:(RoutinesDetails *)value;
- (void)addRoutinedet:(NSSet *)values;
- (void)removeRoutinedet:(NSSet *)values;

@end

RoutinesDetails.h - NSManagedObject

@class Routines;

@interface RoutinesDetails : NSManagedObject

@property (nonatomic, retain) NSString * image;
@property (nonatomic, retain) NSString * name;

@property (nonatomic, retain) Routines *routineinfo;

@end

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I think you are seeing what you want. I assume EX is an exercise, a routine, and that you are trying to print out the associated details. Your debugging statement displays one RoutinesDetails (entity: RoutinesDetails; id: 0x74531f0 ; data: )" )

Try this to help you visualize

for (RoutinesDetails *detail in Ex.routinedet) {
  NSLog(@"image: %@, name: %@, routineName: %@",detail.image, detail.name, detail.routineinfo.routinename);
}
