Hey I'm having trouble trying to figure this one out. UITableView has a method [tableView reloadSections:(NSIndexSet *) withRowAnimation:(UITableViewRowAnimation)] now according to the Apple docs this method takes in an NSIndexSet object and reloads what ever section specified by the index set. The problem is even though im only sending in one section to this method it ends up reloading all the sections and i can't understand why this is happening. Any help will be greatly appreciated
Even if you try reloading only a section, you must also provide the populating process section by section:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"DetailViewCell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault
reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone;
}
if (indexPath.section == 0){
//blablabla
cell.textLabel = blabla
}
else if (indexPath.section == 1){
///blablabla
cell.textLabel = blabla2
}
return cell;
}
... because reloading the table (is it only a section or the whole table) wil call the method above

When scrolling my UITableView (tends to be when I scroll it fast) the data for my cells gets mixed up, so labels might be repeated etc.
I understand that reusing the cells probably causes this, but what if the user scrolls down the list really quickly and all the cells get mixed up, how am I supposed to avoid this?
Thanks.
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"VideoListCell";
VideoListCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[VideoListCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
}
// Configure the cell...
if (isPlaylistView)
{
//Fill cell with data
}
else if (isPlaylistDetailView || isSearchResultsView)
{
//Fill cell with data
}
else
{
//Playlist button and uploads
if (indexPath.section == 0)
{
//Fill cell with data
}
else
{
//Fill cell with data
}
}
return cell;
}
You generally use this kind of code:
cell = dequeReusableCell;
if (cell == nil) {
create cell;
initialize cell;
}
fill cell with actual data from current row
return cell;
If you will move code "fill cell with actual data from current row" into "if" — you will get the kind of behavior you get right now.
So the answer will be "fill cell with data after you initialize it, outside of "if (cell == nil)" block.
UITableView will ever only dequeue a cell for reuse if the position that the cell was in is currently off-screen. So you don't have to worry about "mix-ups".
static NSString *cellIdentifier=#"cell";
UITableViewCell *cell=[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
if(cell==nil)
{
cell=[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:nil];
}
I think it will be helpful to you.
set dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier to nil for example..
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:nil];
UPDATE:
See this Example... i load many data in the cell with also my custom Gridview...
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString* cellIdentifier = #"gridCell";
UITableViewCell *gridCell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:nil];
if(gridCell == nil)
{
gridCell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:cellIdentifier] autorelease];
}
return gridCell;
}
hope this help you....
In your custom cell class override prepareForReuse method. In this method set text of your labels to nil and set imageview's image to nil also. This function is called everytime when a cell is reused so your problem will be solved by this. May be like this
- (void)prepareForReuse{
[super prepareForReuse];
self.titleLabel.text = nil;
self.unitImageView.image = nil;
}
I have a table with a few rows, and the place holder text for all is the same. How can I programmatically change the placeholder text of only the first one?
Thanks!
You need to run an if statement to check the index of the cell. 0 is the first index, so you would need to check to see if the row is 0.
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
}
if (indexPath.row == 0)
cell.textLabel.text = #"First Cell";
else
cell.textLabel.text = #"Not First Cell";
}
In order to access your cell AFTER the cell was created/reused, try the - (UITableViewCell *)cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath method of your uitableview object! See the following Apple doc for a detailed elaboration on this method.
Note:
Return Value
An object representing a cell of the table or nil if the cell is not
visible or indexPath is out of range.
I have seen other questions on here related to this, but I have their solutions in place, and things still move around when I scroll.
Basically, I have a table of data and I want the first and only the first row to have a UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator. The problem is, when I scroll around, the indicator duplicates, deletes, and moves to other cells. Here is my code..
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = (UITableViewCell *) [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if(cell == nil){
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
}
if(indexPath.row == 0) {
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator;
}
cell.textLabel.text = [tabledata objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
return cell;
}
The problem is something with the indexPath.row variable.. its somehow returning 0 in other cells that aren't the very first (when it comes to displaying cells). HOWEVER... the data is always right from my array(which implies the value HAS to be correct) and in my
-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
method, i only wish to change screens when row 0 is clicked.. and regardless of where I have scrolled to, no cells trigger except the very first. So it seems THAT check is always correct while the one inside cellForRowAtIndexPath is not...
Most likely, you are re-using cells that already have the accessoryType set. You need to explicitly set it to NOT show on cells where it shouldn't.
if(indexPath.row == 0){
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator;
} else {
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryNone;
}
I have this bizarre problem. I'm making a checklist program with XCode and I'm using UITableView with UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark. I can select cells and the checkmark will appear, but somehow, other cells that I have NOT yet selected below will also have a checkmark appear. Any ideas?
Here's my check mark coding:
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)aTableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
UITableViewCell *cell;
cell = [aTableView cellForRowAtIndexPath: indexPath];
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark;
}
I don't know if this affects it, but I also implemented this method:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"CellIdentifier";
// Dequeue or create a cell of the appropriate type.
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryNone;
}
// Configure the cell.
if(tableView == Table1){
switch(indexPath.section){
case 0:
cell.textLabel.text = [array1 objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
break;
case 1:
cell.textLabel.text = [array2 objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
break;
case 2:
cell.textLabel.text = [array3 objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
break;
}
//cell.textLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"Row %d", indexPath.row];
}
if(tableView == Table2){
cell.textLabel.text = [array4 objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
}
return cell;
}
Thanks.
Set the cell.accessoryType each time you call tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath:. Otherwise, when you reuse a cell, you'll get it's accessoryView instead of what you're expecting.
So, yeah, you'll need to keep track in when NSIndexPaths are selected by some method other than just looking at the accessoryType.
You should keep the checked/unchecked info in data source (array).
I also advise you to remove the cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryNone; line.
This line will be executed only for few first cells. All the other cells will be "reused" - meaning that the old (already initiated) cells will be used, and you will have to modify the details that are displayed on these cells (all inside cellForRowAtIndexPath as you do now).
In addition you will have to add a similar line (something like cell.accessoryType = ([[array objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] boolValue] ? UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark : UITableViewCellAccessoryNone;).
In general, I suggest you to use one array for holding the data for your table, when each item in the array will be a dictionary. This way you will be able to hold the texts and the boolean checkmarks (inside NSNumber) and easily access them when needed.
I just have a basic (noob) question about cellForRowAtIndexPath get called?
I'm working through example code and I don't see it explicitly called anywhere?
Does any component of type UITableViewComponent automatically call this function when it is created?
Thanks
When a UITableView is displaying this method gets called per row. In it you will customize each cell with particular data for display.
Here's the class reference.
Here's a sample:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"FriendCellIdentifier";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
}
NSUInteger row = [indexPath row];
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryDetailDisclosureButton;
Item *i = [itemArray objectAtIndex:row];
cell.textLabel.text = [i name];
cell.detailTextLabel.text = [i brewery];
[i release];
return cell;
}
This is called for each cell when the corresponding UITableView gets drawn. An index path is passed in, and based on the section and cell numbers, your code should generate a UITableViewCell to be displayed in the UI.
You can look here for a quick tutorial into how UITableViews work.
