I have implemented around 10 tables on UIScrollView. I want to know which row of which UITable has been clicked.
thanks in advance.
You can add tags to each of the table and then check it in didSelectRowAtIndexPath
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
if(tableView.tag == 1){
//do something
}
else if(tableView.tag == 2){
//do something else
}
// and so on
}
Or else, you could check which instance of tableview is calling the delegate method:
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
if(tableView == self.tableView1){
//do something
}
else if(tableView == self.tableView2){
//do something else
}
// and so on
}
Is there a way to combine static tableview cells (static content) with dynamic tableview cells (prototype content) using storyboard?
I suggest you treat your table as dynamic, but include the cells you always want at the top. In the Storyboard, place a UITableViewController and have it use a dynamic table. Add as many UITableViewCell prototypes to the table as you need. Say, one each for your static cells, and one to represent the variable cells.
In your UITableViewDataSource class:
#define NUMBER_OF_STATIC_CELLS 3
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
return [self.dynamicModel count] + NUMBER_OF_STATIC_CELLS;
}
and, then
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
if (indexPath.row < NUMBER_OF_STATIC_CELLS) {
// dequeue and configure my static cell for indexPath.row
NSString *cellIdentifier = ... // id for one of my static cells
} else {
// normal dynamic logic here
NSString *cellIdentifier = #"DynamicCellID"
// dequeue and configure for [self.myDynamicModel objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]
}
}
I had a problem, although it was a slight variant of this. I actually wanted to mix dynamic and static cells but in different groups. Meaning group 1 would have static only cells and group 2 would have dynamic cells.
I accomplished this by actually hard coding static cell values (based on their prototype cell identifiers). The dynamic sections would have normal dynamically populated content. Here is some example code in case anyone else has the same issue:
- (NSString *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView titleForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
if (section == 1){
return #"Dynamic Cells";
}
if (section == 0){
return #"Static Cells";
}
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
if (section == 0) {
return 1; //However many static cells you want
} else {
return [_yourArray count];
}
}
-(UITableViewCell*)tableView:(UITableView*)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath*)indexPath
{
if (indexPath.section == 0) {
NSString *cellIdentifier = #"staticCellType";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
}
cell.textLabel.text = #"some static content";
return cell;
} else if (indexPath.section == 1){
NSString *cellIdentifier = #"dynamicCellType";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
}
cell.textLabel.text = [_yourArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
return cell;
}
return nil;
}
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView {
return 2;
}
Since no one has actually provided a real answer to the problem (using both static and prototype cells in the same table view), I figured I'd chime in.
It can be done!
Create your static cells as you see fit.
For the sections that need a dynamic cell, if you are NOT using standard UITableViewCell type, you'll need to create your custom one in a separate Nib, otherwise you can use the standard ones.
Then implement the following delegates. Basically for each of these delegates, for the static stuff we want to call super, for the dynamic, we return our values.
First, IF you need to selectively show your dynamic section, you'll want to implement the numberOfSectionsInTableView (otherwise you can leave this delegate out):
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
int staticSections = 1;
int dynamicSections = 1;
if (SOME_BOOLEAN) {
return staticSections + dynamicSections;
} else {
return staticSections;
}
}
Then, you need to implement numberOfRowsInSection:
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
if (section == 1) {
return A_COUNT;
} else {
return [super tableView:tableView numberOfRowsInSection:section];
}
}
Then, you need to implement heightForRowAtIndexPath:
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
if (indexPath.section == 1) {
return 44.0f;
} else {
return [super tableView:tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
}
}
Then indentationLevelForRowAtIndexPath:
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView indentationLevelForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
if (indexPath.section == 1) {
return 1; // or manually set in IB (Storyboard)
} else {
return [super tableView:tableView indentationLevelForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath]; // or 0
}
}
Finally, cellForRowAtIndexPath:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
if (indexPath.section == 1) {
SomeObject *obj = self.someArray[indexPath.row];
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"DynamicCell" forIndexPath:indexPath];
cell.textLabel.text = obj.textValue;
return cell;
} else {
return [super tableView:tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
}
}
You can always make one you your tableviews appear similar to the static table but define it in code. Set the sections, amount or rows per section, headers etc. through the delegate methods.
Unfortunately, this is not possible since static table views must be in a UITableViewController and that only allows one tableview.
What you need to do is make three more dynamic UITableviewCell's and load them individually for the first three rows where you want the static content.
If you aren't sure how to do this, let me know and I can find some code.
You can't have one tableview be static and the other dynamic in the same view controller so you will need to make them both dynamic. In the first tableview you will configure the cells in code on initializing the view controller never update them.
Add a UIViewController to your storyboard.
Add two Table Views (Not
TableViewControllers) to the UIView Controller.
Select each tableView and configure both for dynamic cells.
Build and attach your view controller. 2 tableview on a single view explains that step.
As another option you can achieve a similar look by embedding your dynamic tableview in part of a view similar to the link in step 4 and then do whatever you wanted to in the rest of the view to setup what you were planning to do with static cells by using scrollviews, labels, and buttons.
You could also create buttons (one for each static cell you have) that are styled like your cells and place them in the tableHeaderView or tableFooterView of the UITableView; those buttons are just views after all.
You'll need to add some logic for making selections on the buttons vs. the cells so it maintains the usual look and feel.
Of course, this assumes that you want to insert static cells into your table view at the top or bottom of the table.
One way to have dynamic content in a static table view is to clone cells where additional rows are needed.
For the dynamic section of my table view, I lay out one or more cells in Interface Builder. At runtime, I can clone those by archiving using NSCoder and then unarchiving.
It works, but is not necessarily prettier than starting with a dynamic prototype table view and creating static rows from there.
It fails with standard table view cells. The lazily created text labels are not laid out correctly. Hence I used UITableViewCell subclasses where I take care of archiving and unarchiving subviews.
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
if (indexPath.section == kContactsSection) {
NSArray *contacts = self.contacts;
Contact *contact = [contacts objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
NSString *name = contact.name;
NSString *role = contact.role;
if ([role length] == 0) {
NNContactDefaultTableViewCell *cell = (id)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier : #"contactDefault"];
if (cell == nil) {
NNContactDefaultTableViewCell *template = (id)[super tableView : tableView
cellForRowAtIndexPath :[NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:0 inSection:kContactsSection]];
NSData *data = [NSKeyedArchiver archivedDataWithRootObject:template];
cell = [NSKeyedUnarchiver unarchiveObjectWithData:data];
}
cell.contactTextLabel.text = name;
return cell;
}
else {
NNContactDetailTableViewCell *cell = (id)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier : #"contactDetail"];
if (cell == nil) {
NNContactDetailTableViewCell *template = (id)[super tableView : tableView
cellForRowAtIndexPath :[NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:1 inSection:kContactsSection]];
NSData *data = [NSKeyedArchiver archivedDataWithRootObject:template];
cell = [NSKeyedUnarchiver unarchiveObjectWithData:data];
}
cell.contactTextLabel.text = name;
cell.contactDetailTextLabel.text = role;
return cell;
}
}
return [super tableView:tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
}
In the above example I have two cell types. Both laid out in Interface Builder as part of a static table view.
To get dynamic content in one section, I also need to override the following methods:
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
if (section == kContactsSection) {
NSArray *contacts = self.contacts;
NSUInteger contactCount = [contacts count];
return contactCount;
}
return [super tableView:tableView numberOfRowsInSection:section];
}
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
NSInteger section = indexPath.section;
NSInteger row = indexPath.row;
if (section == kContactsSection) {
return [super tableView:tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:[NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:0 inSection:kContactsSection]];
}
return [super tableView:tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
}
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView indentationLevelForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
NSInteger section = indexPath.section;
if (section == kContactsSection) {
CGFloat indentation = [super tableView:tableView indentationLevelForRowAtIndexPath:[NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:0 inSection:kContactsSection]];
return indentation;
}
CGFloat indentation = [super tableView:tableView indentationLevelForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
return indentation;
}
How it is being implemented in table view? To limit the results display in the table view, I need to display eg 10 results, then at the last part of the table cell there's the "next results" part when selecting would load/insert the next set of data into the table view.
Pls. advise me. Thanks
You can make a 2 section UITableView...
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
return 2;
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
if (indexPath.section == 0)
return 10;
else {
return 1;
}
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
UITableView *cell;
if (indexPath.section == 0)
cell = (UITableViewCell*)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"normalCell"];
else
cell = (UITableViewCell*)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"nextCell"];
if (!cell) {
if (indexPath.section == 0)
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero reuseIdentifier:#"normalCell"];
else
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero reuseIdentifier:#"nextCell"];
}
if (indexPath.section == 0) {
// Set your normal cells
} else {
// Set your next cell
}
}
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
if (indexPath.section == 0) {
// your normal cells here
} else {
// your next cell here
}
}
Of course this is not the only solution, but it works...
I'm creating a uitableview with custom cells which I created in Interface Builder. There are currently three cells (UITableViewCell).
I have a UITableView which is on the view.
The code I have is fairly standard, but I cannot work out how to actually SHOW the three custom cells. I am using the cellForRowAtIndexPath method.
My aim is to get a grouped uitableview which shows like the following
Item
- Name
Settings
- alert
- time
So the above indented view should be my grouped uitableview. The problem is, I cannot get it to show using code. The uitableview will ALWAYS be this. I am trying to replicate the settings style screen... so I do not have any arrays to display the uitableview cells.
How do I actually display my three cells? I have the following code
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView {
return 2;
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {
if (section == 0)
return 1;
else
return 2;
}
- (NSString *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView titleForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section {
if(section == 0)
return #"Item";
else
return #"Settings";
}
So all I need to know is how to actually display my custom cells inside the tableview!
Thanks for any information. I've searched for AGES in google .. all the tutorials use arrays to display data!
You'll kick yourself.
In cellForRow, use some cascading if statements, like:
if (indexPath.section == 0) {
cell.textLabel.text = #"Name";
} else {
if (indexPath.row == 0) {
cell.textLabel.text = #"alert";
} else {
cell.textLabel.text = #"time";
}
}
I wanted to know how to list data in tableView in different sections BUT from a single datasource.
All examples i saw had number of arrays = number of sections. What i want is suppose I have a 3d nsmutableArray.
If dArray.Id = 1 { //add to first section of UITableView }
else add to Section 2 of UITableView.
Its probably dooable, but i jus need a direction.
Yeah it is possible to do it.
You can have a single NSMutableArray (resultArray) with the entire content in it.
Then in the cellForRowAtIndexPath method you can do it this way
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
if(indexPath.section == 0)
{
cell.text=[resultArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
}
else if(indexPath.section == 1)
{
cell.text=[resultArray objectAtIndex:(indexPath.row+5)];
}
else if(indexPath.section == 2)
{
cell.text=[resultArray objectAtIndex:(indexPath.row+11)];
}
}
and in numberOfRowsInSection
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView1 numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {
NSInteger count;
if(section == 0)
{
count=6;
}
else if(section == 1)
{
count=6;
}
else if(section == 2)
{
count=4;
}
return count;
}
