Here is the Code:
RootViewController.h
#interface RootViewController : UIViewController {
UIButton *btnCountry;
UIButton *btnState;
NSMutableArray *tempArray;
NSMutableArray *countryArray;
NSMutableArray *stateArray;
IBOutlet UITableView *tempTable;
}
#property (nonatomic,retain) UIButton *btnCountry;
#property (nonatomic,retain) UIButton *btnState;
#property (nonatomic,retain) NSMutableArray *countryArray;
#property (nonatomic,retain) NSMutableArray *stateArray;
#property (nonatomic,retain) NSMutableArray *tempArray;
#property (nonatomic,retain) UITableView *tempTable;
- (IBAction) showState:(id)sender;
- (IBAction) showCountry:(id)sender;
#end
RootViewController.m
#implementation RootViewController
#synthesize btnState,btnCountry, stateArray,countryArray,tempArray;
#synthesize tempTable;
#pragma mark -
#pragma mark View lifecycle
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
tempTable.hidden = YES;
countryArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc]initWithObjects:#"India",#"Pakistan",#"USA",nil];
stateArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc]initWithObjects:#"Gujarat",#"Maharashtra", #"Karnataka",nil];
tempArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
}
- (IBAction) showCountry:(id)sender
{
btnCountry = (UIButton *)sender;
tempArray = countryArray;
[tempTable reloadData];
if([btnCountry isSelected])
{
tempTable.hidden = YES;
btnCountry.selected = NO;
}
else
{
tempTable.hidden = NO;
btnCountry.selected = YES;
}
}
- (IBAction) showState:(id)sender
{
btnState = (UIButton *)sender;
tempArray = stateArray;
[tempTable reloadData];
if([btnState isSelected])
{
tempTable.hidden = YES;
btnState.selected = NO;
}
else
{
tempTable.hidden = NO;
btnState.selected = YES;
}
}
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView {
return 1;
}
// Customize the number of rows in the table view.
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {
return [tempArray count];
}
// Customize the appearance of table view cells.
- (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];
}
cell.textLabel.text = [tempArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
return cell;
}
#end

The question is not clear enough ,, what did you try? ..
But, You can use UIPopOverController for that
see
THIS LINK
Or Just a Static UiTableView in the same Nib file ,, make it hidden when you don't need it .

You can use One Tableview for this: Here i am attaching only the logic.
In viewdidload,
There will be two arrays countryArray and stateArray.
There will be a third array : tempArray
there are two buttons: button1 and button2
tableview.hidden=YES;
in button1Action assign the countryArray to tempArray and also [tableview reload]
in button2Action assign the stateArray to tempArray and also [tableview reload]
then in tableview delegates,
(NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)table numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
return [tempArray count];
}
and then in
(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
use tempArray.......
}
try this...and if you want more detailed pls inform....

Answer 4

Take Two tableViews and two Buttons.
Place each tableview below each of the button.
Initially both the TableViews are hidden. When the Button is clicked show the TableView with Animation.

Answer 5

I think you should only use one TableViewController but with different data sources.
