webview is not loading from table view cell - iphone

Im adding a custom cell. Whenever someone presses the add button, a alert view pops up and they add a name of a website. once pressed saved, it gets saved in the table view cell under whatever name they choose. Then once someone clicks that cell i want it to load with http:// in my web view. the only problem is that its not loading. What am I doing wrong?
This is my table view controller
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
NSString *cellIdentifier = #"cellTwo";
UITableViewCell *cell = [myTableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
}
if (indexPath.section == 0) {
cell.textLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",[tableData objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]];
}
return cell;
}
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
NSLog(#"Index Selected,%d",indexPath.row);
MainTwoViewController *View = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"mainTwo"];
View.urlString = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:#"http://www.%#",tableData];
View.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleCrossDissolve;
}
-(void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex{
//Only do the following action if the user hits the ok button
if (buttonIndex == 1) {
NSString *tapTextField = [alertView textFieldAtIndex:0].text;
if (!tableData) {
tableData = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
}
[tableData insertObject:tapTextField atIndex:0];
[myTableView reloadData];
}
and of course i put this in the mainTwo view controller so it loads the urlString.
[self.webView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:self.urlString]]];

You instantiate a view controller but do not show it.
Use storyboard segues instead and configure the new view controller in prepareForSegue.
Also, check the following:
If you are using storyboard, most likely you do not have to create cells in cellForRowAtIndexPath.
Also, simplify:
[NSString stringWithFormat#"%", string];
--> string
Finally, check the url that arrives at the new view controller before you load the request. Make sure sure the url is correct. Implement the UIWebViewDelegate methods to check for loading failures or unexpected return data.

i think your this code
View.urlString = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:#"http://www.%#",tableData];
should be like
View.urlString = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:#"http://www.%#",[tableData objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]];
at your didSelectRowAtIndexPath method, and it is also advisable that you use NSLog to check at which point you loose your data

Ok, I just identified your problem.
What you should do is put a tap gesture on the custom cell label first of all.
UITapGestureRecognizer *openURLTapGestureRecognizer = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:#selector(openURLTapped:)];
keypadDisableTapGestureRecognizer.numberOfTapsRequired = 1;
keypadDisableTapGestureRecognizer.numberOfTouchesRequired = 1;
[cell.textLabel addGestureRecognizer:openURLTapGestureRecognizer];
Now, in this openURLTapped, you can pass the url and open it.
-(void)openURLTapped:(UITapGestureRecognizer*)tap
{
// your code here
}
It will definitely resolve your issue.

How to refresh ViewController code?

I have a view controller with a table with custom row (image and text).
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSString *simpleTableIdentifier = #"CustomRow";
CustomRow *cell = (CustomRow *)[_default dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:simpleTableIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
NSArray *nib = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:#"CustomRow" owner:self options:nil];
cell = [nib objectAtIndex:0];
}
x = x + 1;
trovato = [util cerca:giorno :[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d", x]];
if ([trovato isEqualToString:#"NO"]) {
cell.pallino.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"grigio.png"];
} else {
cell.pallino.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"verde.png"];
}
cell.title.text = [right objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
return cell;
}
This work correct the first time I open the View controller, when I tap on a row I have to open a another view controller and I do some changes. When I come back with Navigation bar I want that the table refresh again the image (the most important things), but I cannot do this. What I have to do????
Thanks
You have to refresh your table view (reloadData) when you come back from you sub view, e.g. in your viewWillAppear function.
When you tap on row save indexpath for that row
You make chanhes in detailviewcontroler (your next view controller which open after row press)
when you come back check
if there are change then reloadRowsAtIndexPaths: method to reaload that cell else do nothing (as you did not do any changes)
To check if you have made any changes on detailviewcontroler or not you can use delegation or with simplest approach reload selected row always when you cam back from detailviewcontroler.
you can refresh cell in
-(void) viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated by using saved indexpath
You can use following ways,it just use it on -(void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated
[self.tableView reloadData];
or
[self.tableView beginUpdates];
[self.tableView reloadRowsAtIndexPaths:[NSArray arrayWithObject:indexPathOfYourCell] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationNone];
[self.tableView endUpdates];
hope this will work

uitableView reloadData doesn't work after setting delegate, datasource and file's owner connection

I have googled and done lot of research from my side to find out why the reloadData method on tableview wouldn't work. I checked all the possible solutions like the datasource is set, delegate is set, the tableview is connected to the file's owner.
After all these, when I am trying to reload the tableview, the no. of rows method gets called, but the cell for rowAtIndexPath doesn't get called. Below is the code that I have written. Please let me know, where I am going wrong
- (void)onReservationListSuccess:(NSArray *)rData
{
if ( rData != nil )
{
resList = [[NSArray alloc] initWithArray:rData];
if([resList count] > 0)
{
[self.tripsTableView reloadData];
//[self.tripsTableView beginUpdates];
//[self.tripsTableView reloadSections:[NSIndexSet indexSetWithIndex:0]
// withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationNone];
//[self.tripsTableView endUpdates];
}
else
{
[tripsTableView reloadData];
[tripsTableView setHidden:YES];
[noTripsLabel setHidden:NO];
}
}
if(fsnNeedsRefresh == YES)
{
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:UpdateFSNList object:nil];
fsnNeedsRefresh = NO;
}
}
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
return 1;
}

{
int temp=[resList count];
NSLog(#"The no. of rows are %d", temp);
NSLog(#"Testing Purpose");
NSLog(#"The pnr details of the object is:%#",((TripData *)[resList objectAtIndex:0]).pnrDescription);
return 1;
}
// Customize the appearance of table view cells.
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
NSLog(#"The cell for the row at indexpath is getting called");
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"TripCellIdentifier";
TripCell *cell = (TripCell *)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil)
{
NSArray *nib = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:#"TripCell" owner:self options:nil];
for(id oneObject in nib)
if([oneObject isKindOfClass:[TripCell class]])
cell = (TripCell *)oneObject;
}
// Set up the cell...
TripData *tripData = (TripData *)[resList objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.pnrLabel.text = tripData.pnr;
NSLog(#"The cell text is %#",tripData.pnr);
cell.pnrDescriptionLabel.text = tripData.pnrDescription;
NSLog(#"The cell text is %#",tripData.pnrDescription);
cell.pnrTypeLabel.text = tripData.pnrType;
NSLog(#"The cell text is %#",tripData.pnrType);
if(checkInAllowed)
{
cell.checkInButton.tag = indexPath.row;
[cell.checkInButton addTarget:self action:#selector(checkIn:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
}
else
{
[cell.checkInButton setEnabled:NO];
}
return cell;
}

{
// Navigation logic may go here. Create and push another view controller
TripData *tripData = (TripData *)[resList objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
NSLog(#"%#", tripData.pnr);
if(tripData != nil)
{
TripOverviewViewController *tripOverviewViewController = [[TripOverviewViewController alloc] initWithTrip:tripData];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:tripOverviewViewController animated:YES];
[tripOverviewViewController release];
}
[tableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:NO];
}
From this part of code I cannot say exactly why it does not work but I'll try to explain how reloadData works.
First, how UITableView works: basically, it's a scrollview. When it is drawn, it checks how many rows it has, then checks their height and from its size and scroll position it decides which rows are currently displayed. Then it asks the delegate to return a UITableViewCell for every displayed row.
When the table is scrolled, it removes the hidden cells from the view hierarchy and adds the cells that have appeared.
And now the tricky part - what does reloadData do? It just removes all the UITableViewCells from the table hierarchy. Nothing more. The actual update is done when the table is drawn for the first time after reloadData.
So, my suggestion is - check that your table is not hidden and check its frame. Also, I see that you are accessing both a property getter self.tripsTableView and an ivar tripsTableView. This is confusing. Do they both return the same?

Adding Accessory to UITableView

I've got a UITableView displayed on screen for a while. In each cell is a song and artist name. In the background, each song and artist name is searched for online (using the Spotify API). It finds the URL to play one song, and then moves on to the next one! :) Sounds simple... but what I want is when each song is found, for the Checkmark accessory to appear in that row.
Currently i've got the following code to do this...
[[table cellForRowAtIndexPath:[NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:currentConnectionNumber inSection:0]] setAccessoryType:UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark];
[table setNeedsDisplay];
But all that happens is when all of the songs has been found, THEN the checkmarks appear... Why is this and how can I make the checkmarks appear one at a time?
thanks
You need to set the checkmark in tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath:
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSString *reuseIdentifier = #"cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = nil;
cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellForIdentifier:reuseIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:reuseIdentifier] autorelease];
}
NSString *cellTitle = [self cellTitleForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath]; // You need to implement this method
BOOL hasURL = [self hasURLForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath]; // You need to implement this method
cell.textLabel.text = cellTitle;
if (hasURL)
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark;
else
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryNone;
return cell;
}
Then reload the cells when your request finishes
- (void)myRequestFinished:(SomeKindOfWebRequest *)webRequest {
NSIndexPath *indexPathToReload = [self indexPathForWebRequest:webRequest]; // You need to implement this method
NSArray *indexPaths = [NSArray arrayWithObject:indexPathToReload];
[self.tableView reloadRowsAtIndexPaths:indexPaths withRowAnimtation:UITableViewRowAnimationNone];
}
I think rather than doing this you can set a bool flag for as per your requirement and add your checkmark logic in
cellForRowAtIndexPath:
and if that flag is true add accessary checkmark otherwise don't.
if (isValid) {
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark;
}
else{
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryNone;
}
Are you reloading your tableView using
[yourtableView reloadData]
when your data modifies.

UITableView not refreshed

I have an app consisting of a TabBar with a few TabBarControllers. One Controller contains a very simple table, which is supposed to display the contents of a NSMutableDictionary. When you hit the appropriate button, the Dictionary is updated in a separate Controller and the view switches to the UITableViewController, displaying the newly updated table.
I can see the Dictionary being updated. But the TableView never reflects the changes. In fact, it seems to display the changes only the 1st time I enter that screen.
I have tried [self table.reloadData] and while it gets called, the changes aren't reflected to the UITableView.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I am happy to post code, but am unsure what to post.
Update: the table is updated and refreshed properly only the 1st time it is displayed. Subsequent displays simply show the original contents.
Background:
The tableview gets filled from a dictionary: appDelegate.currentFave. The tableview should get refreshed each time the ViewController is invoked by the TabBarController.
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
NSLog(#"in viewWillAppear");
[super viewWillAppear:animated];
[self loadFavesFile];
[self.tableView reloadData];
}
// load the Favorites file from disk
- (void) loadFavesFile
{
// get location of file
NSString *path = [self getFavesFilePath];
// The Favorites .plist data is different from the Affirmations in that it will never be stored in the bundle. Instead,
// if it exists, then use it. If not, no problem.
if ([[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:path]) {
// read Faves file and store it for later use...
NSMutableDictionary *tempDict = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:path];
appDelegate.sharedData.dictFaves = tempDict;
// grab the latest quote. Append it to the list of existing favorites
NSString *key = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d", appDelegate.sharedData.dictFaves.count + 1];
NSString *newFave = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#", appDelegate.currentFave];
[appDelegate.sharedData.dictFaves setObject:newFave forKey:key];
} else {
NSLog(#"Favorites file doesn't exist");
appDelegate.sharedData.dictFaves = nil;
}
}
// this gets invoked the very first call. Only once per running of the App.
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
// reuse or create the cell
static NSString *cellID = #"cellId";
UITableViewCell *cell = [self.tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellID];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:cellID];
}
// allow longer lines to wrap
cell.textLabel.numberOfLines = 0; // Multiline
cell.textLabel.lineBreakMode = UILineBreakModeWordWrap;
cell.textLabel.font = [UIFont fontWithName:#"Chalkduster" size:(16)];
cell.textLabel.textColor = [UIColor yellowColor];
// NOTE: for reasons unknown, I cannot set either the cell- or table- background color. So it must be done using the Label.
// set the text for the cell
NSString *row = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d", indexPath.row + 1];
cell.textLabel.text = [appDelegate.sharedData.dictFaves objectForKey:row];
return cell;
}
I found the problem. I was not properly initializing and assignng the TableView in my view controller. See below
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
tableView = [[UITableView alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] applicationFrame] style:UITableViewStylePlain];
tableView.dataSource = self;
tableView.delegate = self;
tableView.backgroundColor=[UIColor blackColor];
self.view = tableView;
}
Assuming the code you have put up is correct, you want to use [self.table reloadData]. You have the . in the wrong place.
I had this same problem yesterday, for me it turned out I had set the wrong file owner in interface builder and hadn't set up the data source and delegates for the table view properly.
Try going into interface builder and right-clicking on the file owner, this should show you if anything isn't connected up properly.
You should make sure that your Interface Builder connections are set up properly, but what this problem really sounds like is that you have your UITableViewCell setup code in cellForRowAtIndexPath: inside your if(cell == nil) statement. Which it shouldn't be. Let me explain. If you have a list of cells, and you want to set the titles to each cell to a string in an array called myArray, right now your (incorrect) code looks like this:
- (UITableViewCell*)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"cellIdentifier"];
if (cell == nil) {
// No cell to reuse => create a new one
cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleValue1 reuseIdentifier:#"cellIdentifier"] autorelease];
[[cell textLabel] setText:[myArray objectAtIndex:[indexPath row]]];
}
return cell;
}
Can you see the problem with that logic? The cell will only get an updated title if no reusable cell can be found, which, in your case, sounds like the situation. Apple says that you should create a 'new' cell each time cellForRowAtIndexPath: is called, which means that you put all of your setup code outside of the if(cell == nil) check.
Continuing with this example, the proper code would look like this:
- (UITableViewCell*)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"cellIdentifier"];
if (cell == nil) {
// No cell to reuse => create a new one
cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleValue1 reuseIdentifier:#"cellIdentifier"] autorelease];
}
[[cell textLabel] setText:[myArray objectAtIndex:[indexPath row]]];
return cell;
}
This way, the cell gets assigned the proper string whether or not a reusable cell is found and so calling reloadData will have the desired effect.

Pushing viewController from a tableview that is inside a viewController not working

I am having an issue pushing my view controller from a tableview that was dropped into a viewController, and not a TableViewController.
I have found a thread on here with a solution here
pushViewController is not pushing
The problem is.. I have done his solution and my view still does not push. I have connected my tableview via ctrl+drag to the view controller and set both the dataSource and delegate. In the post i mentioned, they say the solution was to 'create a referencing outlet from the tableview to the view controller.' But I don't exactly know what that means. So help with that would be good as well. I have followed this tutorial and am stuck on step 9 obviously.
The line of code not triggering is
[self.navigationController pushViewController:facility animated:YES];
My code is as follows...
viewTable methods
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
NSLog(#"list Size: %#",list);
return [list count];
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath*)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = (UITableViewCell *) [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if(cell == nil){
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
}
CustomerListData *customer = [self.list objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.textLabel.text = customer.facilityName;
// cell.textLabel.text = #"Detail";
return cell;
}
-(void)setValue:(NSMutableArray*)array
{
//NSMutableArray *newArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
list = array;
}
-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
FacilityMissionListViewController *facility = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"facilityMissionList"];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:facility animated:YES];
//UINavigationController* navController = self.navigationController;
}
the very last commented out line is there to check if navigationcontroller was null. It is not.
From what I have gathered the issue here lies in the fact the table view is inside the view controller and its not a "tableviewcontroller." This method apparently works if that is the case, but some other steps must be taken if not.. but I don't know them.
Thanks in advance.
It sounds like your NavigationController is not set up correctly. Could you post the code that sets it up?
Put a :
NSLog(#"%#", self.navigationController);
in your didSelectRowAtIndexPath method and you'll see if the method is being called and if the navigationController is nil. It might be one of this cases.
Otherwise make sure that the FacilityMissionListViewController is not nil either.
