Add a custom tag to an url in xcode

Question

It's Julian Again. In my project I have around 50 different urls and i need to group them into two groups. So that 25 of them are displayed in VC one and the rest in VC2. I wanted to add a tag, and then based on this tag distinguish the two groups but I don't know how to do that. So that it looks like that:

NSURL tag:@"a"

and then

if(tag == "a")
{// Do the code}

How could I do that Thanks in advance!

What you mean by tag ? From where do you get those urls ? On what basis you need to set the tag in your code ? — Midhun MP, Jan 31 '15 at 11:11
Okay. to be precise, all of them are links to url's. I have to display some in Portrait and some in landscape. That's why i have to distinguish them. — Julian E., Jan 31 '15 at 11:13
My question is how you are identifying which all are used to be in portrait and which all are used in landscape ? From where you get that information (if you need to add tag also, you need that information right ?) — Midhun MP, Jan 31 '15 at 11:21

You can either using NSDictionary or NSObject to store your URL instance and the associated tag value. I would prefer using NSObject:

Create a subclass of NSObject called MyNSURLObject.

For MyNSURLObject.h: (you don't need to modify MyNSURLObject.m file)

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

@interface MyNSURLObject : NSObject
@property(strong, nonatomic) NSURL *myURL;
@property(strong, nonatomic) NSString *myTag;
@end

Create an instance of MyNSURLObject whenever you need to store an URL, ex:

MyNSURLObject *myNSURLObject = [[MyNSURLObject alloc] init];
myNSURLObject.myURL = whateverurl;
myNSURLObject.myTag = @"a"; // or @"b"

Then I create that in the gallery view controller and make it object 1 then 2 then 3, right? – Julian E. Jan 31 '15 at 16:02
Not sure I understand your question. – user523234 Feb 01 '15 at 05:10
Do I create an object for every url i have? – Julian E. Feb 01 '15 at 07:52
Yes and instead of carrying the list ( or however you have handled) of URLs before, now you keep the list of this object. – user523234 Feb 05 '15 at 20:39

You can add 25 urls in one array (Swift Array or Objective-C NSMutableArray) and 25 in another. Arrays allow you to group 'values' in unique containers.

Then pass the first array to the first view controller and same with the second array.
