Twitter Direct Messages - iPhone

I have been trying to retrieve the direct messages and place them into a timeline. I have been successful at doing so, but it is not the way I intended... I am a bit confused and can not seem to find an answer to the issue.

I receive as many direct messages as I want but I have an issue while placing them in a tableview they all show.

If you know a thing or two about twitter the direct messages is a list of users who sent you messages then you click into one and is shows you the actual messages.

So I have tried using just the "user_id" because in a list of items the log returns is shows the user id and that still does the same thing. The user_id , scrren_name, profile_image_url are all sub catagories of the main dictionary "sender" reci开发者_开发百科pient" but when I place those in the table view I just crash.....

Below is how I parse the objets and they work but I caint seem to do what it is supposed to really do

Any help would be very much obliged!

-(NSString*)sender {

return [contents objectForKey:@"sender"]   ; 



}




-(NSString*)sender_id {

return [[contents objectForKey:@"sender"] objectForKey:@"sender_id"]  ; 



}


-(NSString*)sender_screenName {

return [[contents objectForKey:@"sender"] objectForKey:@"screen_name"]  ; 



}

-(NSString*)sender_profileImage {

return [[contents objectForKey:@"sender"] objectForKey:@"profile_image_url"]  ; 



}

This is the log

Is it because there is no sender_id inside the sender object? Instead try using the id.
