What's the best way for me to add 2 custom buttons in the header of my UITableView?
On clicking either of those buttons, a different table View is loaded.
Thanks for the help!
Add the two buttons to the header, and use the IBActions of those buttons each to set the datasource to an other array. After that, use [tableView reloadData];
If you want to use buttons above the table, I'd suggest either using sections if your having no sections in your original table, or placing a toolbar above your table.
UISegmentedControl is pretty much for this purpose, then you can hook the events and switch the views accordingly... It looks better tan two separate buttons, and also better from the user experience perspective...
Second choice is to have two different tables or one table with two different data. I would prefer two tables, each having its own data, and delegates. Easier to write cell rendering code and all...
If both data are of the same type like "Array of MyObject", then you can come away with just a flag and some ( flag ? firstDataArray : secondDataArray) type of selections in the table delegate methods.
First add two different customs button and then add two different table Views bellow that custom buttons.
Use a separate UView and add both UIButton as subview into.
Then add this button's view in the parent view of your UITableView
Then both the button's view and UITableView will be the sibling view....

I am building an app that requires a tableview control so that users can select multiple rows and act upon them in some way. I find it easy to load my data and display it using the UITableViewController but it seems when I do it this way I am unable to place any other controls on the page, such as a toolbar to give the user some actions to perform on the selected rows. I can place a toolbar control on the form in the storyboard, but it doesn't render in the emulator.
Using a UIViewController and placing a TableView on it seems to come with its own set of confusing challenges (that will make total sense once I conquer them).
Is there any advice for a smooth way of getting a table view with toolbar controls? Thanks!
don't use a TableViewController. Use a Standard ViewController, then add a UITableView to it, and adjust the size. This way you will be able to do whatever else you want on that view without limiting yourself to the tableView only functionality.
When you do this make sure you add the datasource and delegate to the connected table. Then add cellForRowAtIndex, number of sections, number of rows, and whatever other delegate methods you need for your table.
Good luck

Yes there are few ways to accomplish this, one way would be adding a footerview to your tableviewcontroller check these
http://developer.apple.com/
UIButtons on tableFooterView not responding to events
Easier way to add this is using storyboard.
Just drag and drop a view in to your tableviewcontroller, then you can adjust the views size and put anything from objects menu to inside of the view.
Now the problem with that is view will not be stable position at the bottom of the page like a tabbar. Lets say you have only 1 row in your tableview, footer view will go up just below that 1 row, lets say you have hundreds of items in your tableview toolbar will be at the bottom of the rows.
The other solutions for your problem would be either create a custom view and adding it to current view or window (this is little bit adbance),but if you want this just google it.
Or just as you said, create a viewcontroller and put a uitableview inside. Dont forget to add <UITableViewDelegate,UITableViewDataSource> to your .h file and then you can call UItableview delegate methods.\
Good Luck.
I have read a few posts about what I need but I can't manage to do this.
I want a table that could be set up like an image, it will have a regular background image and from half the screen to the bottom i want the table view to have 6 different cells
How can I do this. I have done this with buttons and my app is working with no problems, but I wanna do this with table also
Why dont you use AQGridView. Its an extension of uitableview and you need not worry much about other things.
Spire you can easily add six buttons in one table row or three buttons in one row (two rows then). You can easily assign tag number (based on indexPath.row.. like indexPath.row + 1, indexPath.row + 2 ...etc). and in there action method you can use these tag numbers...
to create customized cells follow these links -

The image doesn't look like a table view. It should be a custom view. UITableView can contain single UITableViewCell per row. If you still want to create a table view like that, you have to customize each cell to have three different views like that.
If you don't want table view, you should customize your view to achieve something like that.
I am writing an iPhone app. According to the design, it is supposed to contain a lot of grouped table views. In these views, the rows are frequently not similar to each other. For example, on one screen, one row is the name of a task, another is its owner, another is its description, yet another is its history (which is supposed to be an expanding box), and so on. These rows are edited in different ways. For example, the name can be entered free-form, but the owner has to be chosen from a list, which would be brought up in a further table view.
I think doing all of this programatically would drive me batty. What I want is a way to design these screens in IB. But I can't figure out how to get IB to do treat the cells individually. Is that possible?
Thanks.
In Interface Builder you create custom UITableViewCells for each row and then return the appropriate custom cell in – tableView:willDisplayCell:forRowAtIndexPath:. You also need to return the height of each custom cell in – tableView:heightForRowAtIndexPath:.
Within Interface Builder, you create a custom cell just like you would any view. You size the cell and then fill it with subviews. It's best if you create a UITableViewCells subclass for each custom cell that has IBOutlets that connect to each subview. That way you can easily access labels, imageviews, controls etc.
Is there any sample code that would illustrate how to have multiple images within each row?
Typical apps show a thumbnail to the left side with text to the right. I'd like to do that plus an image to the right of the text.
How would I go about doing this?
In interface builder, simply create a tableview cell that looks like you want. Then create a UITableViewCell subclass that has properties pointing to the elements of the new cell. Set the class of cell to the subclass then add cells of that class to the table in the standard way.
A tableview cell is just a view and you modify it and use it just like any other view.
You'll have to create a custom UITableView cell. Here's an example of using multiple UILabels in one. Here's another.
Pretty easy - follow Apple's documentation to create exactly the cell you want in Interface Builder with as many UIImage or whatever else you like. Look at Table View Programming Guide for details on how to make and load the custom cells - just be careful about performance when you put a lot of visual elements in a table view.
I have created a UITableView with multiple columns to display a Football League Table. Now what I really need is a header to label each column which will ideally sit at the top of the table view. How would I do this?
Instead of setting it as the header for your first UITableView section, it would make more sense in your situation to set it as the header to your entire table. This can be done with the tableHeaderView property of UITableView. For example:
UIView *myHeaderView = ...
[myTableView setTableHeaderView:myHeaderView];
You could create a custom UIView and set it as the first section header of your UITableView. Return it in your UITableViewDelegate's tableView:viewForHeaderInSection: method. You simply need to design it so that it aligns with the "columns" inside your custom cells.
This is sort of a weird interface for an iPhone app, assuming you are trying to replicate the look and feel of an HTML table, with headings, cells and etc.
If this is what you want, why not just use a UIWebView object to display your table?
