How to access two or more tableViews in a single class with tabledatasource and tabledelegates?
In a same delegate method you have to handle all tableviews,
For ex:
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
if(tableView==tableView1)
//value for first tableview
else if(tableview==tableView2)
//value for second tableview
}
If you are adding them from XIB then answer from KingofBliss is right one, otherwise if you are adding them programmatically you can set tag property on them and then in delegate use it to distinguish which table are you working on.
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
if([tableView tag] == 1)
{
//value for first tableview
} else {
//value for second tableview
}
UITableView tableView1 = [[UITableView alloc] init];
when you create tableview give tag to them..
tableView1.tag = 10;
tableView1.delegate = self;
tableView1.dataSource = self;
[self.view addSubview:tableView1];
[tableView1 release];
UITableView tableView2 = [[UITableView alloc] init];
tableView2.tag = 20;
tableView2.delegate = self;
tableView2.dataSource = self;
[self.view addSubview:tableView2];
[tableView2 release];
And in delegate
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
if(tableView.tag == tableView1.tag)
//value for first tableview
else if(tableview.tag==tableView2.tag)
//value for second tableview
}
I don't think so there is necessary to add two UITableViews and differentiate them, because same delegate functions are going to be called. Just add one UITabaleView and perform check on your data, set flags, for example if currently your UITableView is filled with Array1 and now you want to to fill it with Array2 just set flag and call [UITableView reloadData].
Your problem solved.
As for as i suggest, adding two UITableViews in same class is not good practice

I'm writing an app hat has many views and I used sliding views library (ECSlidingViews). The problem is when I fill an array with objects and fill the table with the objects in tableView:cellForRowIndexPath: method, it does present the data in the table, but when I go to other view and come back the data disappears because tableView:cellForRowIndexPath: is not called. Here is the code:
-(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
NSLog(#"begin of cellForRowAtIndexPath");
SchedualeCell *cell = (SchedualeCell *)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"Cell"];
Course *temp = [array objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.nameLb.text = temp.name;
cell.hourLb.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d",temp.hour];
cell.startTimeLb.text = temp.startTime;
cell.endTimeLb.text = temp.endTime;
NSLog(#"End of cellForRowAtIndexPath");
return cell;
}
tableView:numberOfRowsInSection: and numberOfSectionsInTableView: is invoked when I come back to the view that has the table view.
P.S.: The view is UIViewController that has table view inside of it, and I searched all StackOverflow before posting my problem.
EDIT : this is where I set the delegate and datasource
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
NSLog(#"Did Appear");
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
self.view.layer.shadowOpacity = 0.75f;
self.view.layer.shadowRadius = 10.0f;
self.view.layer.shadowColor= [UIColor blackColor].CGColor;
if (![self.slidingViewController.underLeftViewController isKindOfClass:[MenuViewController class]])
{
self.slidingViewController.underLeftViewController = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"Menu"];
}
[self.view addGestureRecognizer:self.slidingViewController.panGesture];
if (array == nil)
{
array = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
}
table.delegate = self;
table.dataSource = self;
[table reloadData];
}
and I did included The delegate and datasource in the header
#interface MainViewController : UIViewController<UITableViewDataSource , UITableViewDelegate,addDelegate>
First of all , it's not numberOfRowsAtSection and numberOfTableView. It's numberOfSectionsInTableView and numberOfRowsInSection.
Things you can do :
1) NSLog your numberOfRowsInSection. Note that , If it's "0" then your cellForRowAtIndexPath is never going to be called.
2) If you are using your UITableView inside some UIView then you should add :
[self.view addSubview:table];
3) Don't Forget to include :
#interface yourViewController : UIViewController<UITableViewDataSource,UITableViewDelegate>
Once check that you reframed the tableview in ViewWillAppear.
Some times if we set out of frame, CellForRowAtIndexPath will not call.
I have 3 table views in one view and I was wondering why the tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath: was not getting called.
#pragma mark -
#pragma mark <UITableViewDelegate>
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
if (tableView == self.mainVoucherTableViewController)
[self setSelectedIndex:indexPath.row];
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView
numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
if (tableView == self.mainVoucherTableViewController){
return 10;
}
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView
cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
if (tableView == self.mainVoucherTableViewController){
static NSString *MyIdentifier = #"MyReuseIdentifier";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:MyIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:MyIdentifier];
}
cell.textLabel.text = #"THISTEXT";
return cell;
}
}
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView {
if (tableView == self.mainVoucherTableViewController)
return 1;
}
- (NSString *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView titleForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section {
// The header for the section is the region name -- get this from the region at the section index.
if (tableView == self.mainVoucherTableViewController){
NSString * myString = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"HELLLO WORLD"];
return myString;
}
}
WOULD anyone know why this is? Basically this doesn't create any cell or display cells. It just displays the table views. :(
Just to consolidate a few things from above:
From your naming, your tableView is called mainVoucherTableViewController - just want to confirm that this is indeed a UITableView and not a UITableViewController? If it's a UITableViewController then the rest of this won't work for obvious reasons (or not so obvious - let me know and can explain further)
Make sure you have set the current viewController as the tableView's delegate and dataSource, either with the code below or in Interface Builder if you're using a XIB
self.mainVoucherTableViewController.delegate = self;
self.mainVoucherTableViewController.dataSource = self;
Make sure your numberOfRowsInSection function is being called and that you're returning non-zero (put in NSLogs, etc) and do the same for numberOfSections as well (actually numberOfSections isn't required if you're only using 1 section) - see UITableViewDataSource Protocol Reference: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/uikit/reference/UITableViewDataSource_Protocol/Reference/Reference.html
As per previous post, log your cellForRow (if points #1-3 are checked and working) at the beginning to make sure it's triggered, and just before the return. Also do an NSLog of the cell you're returning just to make sure it isn't nil.
Start off by logging inside your tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath: method to see if it gets called at all outside your if statement as well as inside to help narrow down the issue.
Also try instead of comparing your:
tableView == self.mainVoucherTableViewController
Set the tableViews to have tag values instead. Then you can do:
if(tableView.tag == 100){ // tag number we assigned self.mainVoucherTableViewController via IB
//do your stuff here
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
if (tableView == self.mainVoucherTableViewController)
{
return 10;
}
else
{retun 5;
}
}
It display row in first table 10, second table show 5 rows.
The order of instance declaration does matter. For example, if you have a ivar called tableView:
WRONG
self.tableView.delegate = self;
self.tableView = [UITableView alloc] init];
CORRECT
self.tableView = [UITableView alloc] init];
self.tableView.delegate = self;
check UITableView Object Frame Size. maybe Frame size is not enough to draw Cell.
I am adding two UITableViews to my view in my code. I am properly setting the delegates and datasource to self. I have added all the delegate methods for returning the number of row, height for row, number of sections etc. And everything is working fine. I have also added index bars to both tables. Now the problem is the index bar is not working for the 1st table, while it is working fine for the second table.
When I click on any character on 1st tables index bar, it responds for the 2nd table. I am not able to get the action for the 1st Table. I also noticed that if I don't add the second table to my view, then I am able to get the action for the 1st table.
Here is my code
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
accountsTable = [[UITableView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,27, 320, 390) style:UITableViewStylePlain];
[accountsTable setDelegate:self];
[accountsTable setDataSource:self];
[self.view addSubview:accountsTable];
accountsTable.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
[accountsTable release];
keyConnectionsTable = [[UITableView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 27, 320, 390) style:UITableViewStylePlain];
[keyConnectionsTable setDelegate:self];
[keyConnectionsTable setDataSource:self];
[keyConnectionsTable setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
[keyConnectionsTable setHidden:YES];
[self.view addSubview:keyConnectionsTable];
}
- (NSArray *)sectionIndexTitlesForTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
return [NSArray arrayWithArray:[[UILocalizedIndexedCollation currentCollation] sectionIndexTitles]];
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView sectionForSectionIndexTitle:(NSString *)title atIndex:(NSInteger)index
{
return [[UILocalizedIndexedCollation currentCollation] sectionForSectionIndexTitleAtIndex:index];
}
You need to differentiate both table views. To do this you could simply use the "tag" property and set it to different values, or you could have a #property in your view controller for each TableView.
#property (strong) IBOutlet UITableView *tv1;
#property (strong) IBOutlet UITableView *tv2;
For your methods, you could do something like:
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *) tableView {
if (tableView == self.tv1) {
return 1;
} else if (tableView == self.tv2) {
return 2;
}
}
Bottom Line
You need to differentiate both TableViews or you're going to make a mess :)
In my Map application I have segment controller on main screen and using that I have Map View & tableview(both are UIView). I have tried everything but my data is not loading in my tableview. Here is my tableview code. Here marker is attribute in my xml file which contain Showroom name and Iam able to parse this.
.h file
#interface HViewController : UIViewController<UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate> {
UITableView *_tableView;
}
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UITableView *_tableView;
#end
.m file
Edited = with ViewWillAppear,viewDieLoad, segement action method
#synthesize tableView;
- (void)viewDidLoad {
appDelegate = (HAppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
[segmentedControl addTarget:self action:#selector(segmentAction:)
forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
}
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
self._tableView.rowHeight = 80.0;
[_tableView reloadData];
}
-(void)segmentAction:(id)sender;{
UISegmentedControl* segCtl = sender ;
if( [segCtl selectedSegmentIndex] == 0 )
{
NSLog(#"segmentAction mapView");
mapView.hidden = NO;
_tableView.hidden = YES;
//[ self.view addSubview:mapView] ; // adding view to segmentindex 0
}
if( [segCtl selectedSegmentIndex] == 1 )
{
NSLog(#"segmentAction _tableview");
_tableView.hidden = NO;
mapView.hidden = YES;
//[ self.view addSubview:_tableview] ;
}
}
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView {
return 1;
}
// Customize the number of rows in the table view.
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {
NSLog(#"appDelegate.markers _tableview");
return [appDelegate.markers count];
}
//method to print row(showroom count on Header)
- (NSString *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView titleForHeaderInSection: (NSInteger)section {
if(section == 0)
return [NSString stringWithFormat:NSLocalizedString(#"ShowRooms[%d]", #"Showroom format"), [appDelegate.markers count]];
}
// Customize the appearance of table view cells.
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath: (NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSUInteger const kShowroomNameLabelTag = 2;
UILabel *ShowroomNameLabel = nil;
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleGray;
ShowroomNameLabel = [[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(50, 1, 300, 20)] autorelease];
ShowroomNameLabel.tag = kShowroomNameLabelTag;
ShowroomNameLabel.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:18];
[cell.contentView addSubview:ShowroomNameLabel];
NSLog(#"UITableViewCell.markers _tableview");
}
else
{
ShowroomNameLabel = (UILabel *)[cell.contentView viewWithTag:kShowroomNameLabelTag];
}
marker *aMarker = [appDelegate.markers objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
//ShowroomNameLabel.text = aMarker.name;
ShowroomNameLabel.text= [NSString stringWithFormat:#"ShowroomName= %#", aMarker.name];
return cell;
}
In my tableview Header it shows data count correctly but not showing data.
I have connected delegate,datasource,_tableview to fileOwner of the HViewController in which I have put above code. Plz suggest something where I am wrong. I am parsing XML file and getting data in console alos I can show it on Map. But I am not able to load data in my tableview.
Try moving [_tableView reloadData] to viewWillAppear.
UITableViewController reloads the table view's data in viewWillAppear, not viewDidLoad. I can't tell you the exact reason for which this would make a difference, though I can think of several. Anyway, it's worth a try.
EDIT:
RESPONSE TO COMMENTS
If titleForHeaderInSection: is being called, then there is a data source connected to a table view. So, the problem is not a lack of a data source connection.
I am guessing you have 2 table views in your .xib file: a large one & a short one below it. The large table view is not connected to the data source, so it just displays blank lines. The short table view is connected to the data source. But, it is just tall enough for a header and has no space left to display any cells. Thus, titleForHeaderInSection: is called, but cellForRowAtIndexPath: is not because there is no space to display any cells.
Note that this is just a guess, but it is the only scenario I can think of that would cause the behavior you described. The code you posted looks ok, although a bit more complicated than necessary.
There is no question that reloadData should be in viewWillAppear. That's where the Apple engineers put it when they created the UITableViewController class. So, to put it elsewhere, you have to believe you know better than they do.
/*****UPDATED** ***/r.com/YH3cm.png
I am trying to figure out in the above image, how will we know if the user has selected Date or Track.
/UPDATED/
The data I am receving is through a select query and I create an array to store the list. It is dynamic and not necessary limited to two fields, it can have 10 fields also. How will I know which row is selected and how will I push the data on to the next view.
Like in didSelectRowAtIndexPath, how should I push the date or track field on the next view?
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
if (dvController == nil)
dvController = [[DetailViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"DetailView" bundle:nil];
Teat *obj = [appDelegate.coffeeArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
dvController.obj = obj;
// Pass the selected object to the new view controller.
[self.navigationController pushViewController:dvController animated:YES];
}
It's still not very clear what you're trying to do. If you want to push a certain view controller depending on what the content of the cell is, but there is no definite arrangement of the rows, I would use the row index to access the array that is the source of your data. Some very loose code:
WhateverObject* selectedObject= (WhateverObject*)[tableDataSourceArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
if( [selectedObject hasAnAttributeYouCareAbout] )
{
MyViewController* theCorrectController= whicheverViewControllerYouWant;
theCorrectController.anAttribute= aValue;
[self.navigationController pushViewController:theCorrectController animated:YES];
}
And here's how you can define your UIViewController subclass MyViewController with specific attributes. In the .h file:
#interface MyViewController : UIViewController {
int anAttribute;
}
#property int anAttribute
#end
In the .m file:
#implementation MyViewController
#synthesize anAttribute;
#end
You can have as many attributes as you want of whatever type, and then you can set them with aViewController.anAttribute as above.
Create objects - dateInfoViewController and trackInfoViewController and then...
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
NSInteger row = [indexPath row];
if (row==0)
{
if (self.dateInfoViewController == nil)
{
DateInfoViewController *temp = [[DateInfoViewController alloc] init];
self.dateInfoViewController = temp;
[temp release];
}
else {
dateInfoViewController.title= [ NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#", [sessionInfoDetailsArray objectAtIndex:row]];
YourAppDelegate *delegate = [[UIApplication sharedApplication]delegate];
[delegate.sessionNavigationController pushViewController:dateInfoViewController animated:YES];
}
}
if (row==1)
{
if (self.vetInfoViewController == nil)
{
TrackInfoViewController *temp = [[TrackInfoViewController alloc] init];
self.trackInfoViewController = temp;
[temp release];
}
else {
trackInfoViewController.title= [ NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#", [sessionInfoDetailsArray objectAtIndex:row]];
YourAppDelegate *delegate = [[UIApplication sharedApplication]delegate];
[delegate.sessionNavigationController pushViewController:trackInfoViewController animated:YES];
}
}
I fear it's not perfectly clear what do you want to do... if you need to push a different view depending on the selected row you may simply do something like
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
if (indexPath.row == 0)
//push view 1
else
//push view 2
}
UPDATE: calling indexPath.row you get the index of the selected row. I guess is up to you to decide what to do depending on what row is selected. To pass this information to the next view you may simply think of a #property field to set, a method to call or a custom init method for the view controller you are pushing. What is the problem with the code you posted?
