sections=[[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
for(int i=0;i<[PdfNames count]; i++)
{
NSString *s=[[PdfNames objectAtIndex:i] substringToIndex:1];
NSPredicate *p=[NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:#"letter like '%#'",s];
NSArray *check=[sections filteredArrayUsingPredicate:p];

[dict setValue:s forKey:#"letter"];
[sections addObject:dict];
}
}
But now i am not able to get that hoe can i get the names of pdf from array which belongs to their secion Or starts with that alphabet.

Answer 1

You are creating an array sections which is of course empty. You then create an array check based on sections. It will therefore also be empty. [check count] will always be zero. No NSDictionary is going to be created.
Clear?

Answer 2

Try following code its basic logic, I hope you can understand.
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {
if(section == 0) {
return 10; // Number of rows in section.
} else if (section == 1) {
return 5;
}
}
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView {
return 2; // Let say we have two section.
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
UITableViewCell *cell;
if (indexPath.section == 0) {
// Assign your data
} else if (section == 1) {
// Assign your data
}
}
Similarly you can check for the table section on didSelectRowAtIndexPath: method
