I'm creating an app for iPad, and because of their size decided to do something a little different. I'm creating something like this:
I am using two UITableView in a UIView. I need to display data 'product categories' in the first TableView and 'products' in the second TableView.
The problem is display data in two tables with direferentes contents.
Another detail: When a category is selected, the table 'product' is recharged with other data of other products.
My question is: How can I display data in two different TableView in the same View?
Just add two Containers to your View Controller and drag from the container view to your desired Table View Controller and click embed. Then you'll need to make two separate UITableViewController Cocoa files and assign them to the table view in your Identity Inspector.
In this picture I've already attached the container on the left to my Table View Controller on the left.

I am new to stack overflow and a student currently learning objective-C at university. I am building an APP for the science museum in London and I'm creating an events planner.
I have two table views set up in two different View Controllers.
The first View controller and table view is called "Events" and it holds all of the current days events. When you click on an event, it goes into a new View Controller, gives more information about the event and has a button to "Add To Events", which pops up an alert saying: "Are you sure you want to add this to your events?" with an add button and dismiss button accordingly.
The information in this table view is populated using three NSMutableArray's. (One for title, subtitle and image).
The second view controller has an empty table view inside it. I am trying to make it so whenever a user finds an event they like, they can click into it, see more info and if they want to add it to their own events page, they can. I have got the "Add" button of the alert responding using an NSLog message, so the code to implement the adding to events would go there.
My question is, if i click on the first event, and then choose to add it to my events, how do i send the information of that specific tableviewcell that i clicked to display in the second view controllers table view ?
I have looked all over the place for information regarding this and have taken an abundance of Lynda courses online about IOS and objective-C, but I haven't been able to figure it all out.
Can anybody help?
First of all you shouldn't use three NSMutableArray's to populate your cells. Create one NSMutableArray and populate it with NSDictionarys with a key for the title, the subtitle and the image. Or even better: create a custom model (subclass of NSObject) for your Events and populate the NSMutableArray with those.
Now just like your NSMutableArray is the data source for your first table view controller you need another NSMutableArray as the data source for the second table view controller. When a user now clicks on "Add To Events" all you have to do is add the Event (Model or Dictionary) to the NSMutableArray of the second table view controller and either call - (void)reloadData on your table view so that it reloads ALL data or use the "Inserting, Deleting, and Moving Rows and Sections" methods from the UITableView Class Reference. This would be the better approach because it does not reload data that does not need to be reloaded.
I need to add a new table view to my UITableViewController which will includes a different data and design.
the above prototype cells is the new table view I've added in storyboard, and the main table view is the second one which includes (title, label, and image).
Is it allowed to create another table view in UITableViewController, or should I create a UIViewController and implement the two tables in it???
In fact, I've finished the implementation of the first table view controller, so I need to implement the new one.
the attached image is showing what I want:
You will be better off with a UIViewController that has two tableViews as subviews if you want both of your tables to be shown at the same time. UITableViewController should be used only when there is just one tableView shown at a certain time.
You can either have one UIViewController being the dataSource and delegate for both of the tableViews, or have a UITableViewController for each of your tables and add them as subviews to a UIViewController that will be a container view for both of them. The latter will probably save you some time debugging possible issues as having two tableViews with a single delegate/dataSource requires a lot of duplicate code in the same place.
I think you should use UIExpandableTableView
there is detailed usage on github page
Scree example of UIExpandableTableView
Are you looking to have them be two independent tables, or is it a master/child setup?
If they are independent, I suggestion using one table and two sections, then depending on the section number return to correct cell.
For master/child, think about making a view that looks like a cell and have the master cells be the sections views and the children be the actually rows. You can make a section class that stores if the children are visible or not and in the numberOfRowsInSection method return the count if visible or 0 if not.
Just a couple ideas
I need a bit of help on a app i'm developing.
The app is containing two tableviews (two different xib files with view controllers), named RootViewController and addFavorite. Both of them has the subclass "UITableViewController".
The first uses CoreData to save the users favorites.
The other one collects a list of data from a txt file on the internet.
I know how to set them up seperatly, but I'm trying to make a app where you add cells to the coredata-list from the tablev nr. 2. The user should - when clicking on the "add cell" button in view one, be redirected to view 2, where the user selects a cell, wich is being added to the tableview nr. 1, and then is being stored in the core data.
Why not just refactor you code a bit to abstract the data out into an NSMutableArray and populate your UI from that?
In my app , i have UIScrollView in bottom of the page where it contains list of UIViews. i want display the same UITableView with same contents on all the views. Can any one help me out of this?
What you need in fact is the opposite : having one viewController managing your table AND a list of sub viewControllers managing your views. The the main controller load subView depending on the row selected (a bit like the tabviewcontroller does).
I have a UIViewController that should be capable of displaying tableViews with multiple data sources. The UITableView spans about half the size of the screen, and there is and up and down button that allows you to go through different data. Everytime the up and down button is hit, I'd like to ultimately use UIViewAnimationTransitionCurlDown or something similar to display the next UITableView.
The question is: do I need multiple UIViewControllers to do this, with a tableView embedded in each one? Should I just create one instance of UITableView and change its data source when an up or down button is hit? If it's only one instance of UITableView, how do I manage to get a curl transition over the portion of the screen it takes up to make it look like a new tableView is coming in?
Why not have each table view belong to its own UITableViewController, and nest these within the current screen's view controller? This way the screen's view controller is responsible for swapping out its subviews, each of which have a table view controller containing the necessary logic to show their data.
In the end, it comes down to what your functionality and data sets look like. It may end up being easier to implement the table view datasource & delegate code once, injecting an actual data source into this class - or it may be easier to write custom datasource code for each table view.
