editing cells in nstable view using cocoa - iphone

hi i have a NSTableView in a view controller class
i have added an button named as "Add"
When i click on the button then a new row gets added to the table which is blank using this code:
[myArray addObject:#""];
[myTable reloadData];
[myTable editColumn:0 row:[myArray count]-1 withEvent:nil select:YES];
now when i enter the data after that i press enter key but dont understand as which method is called so that i can update the myArray with the new content
cannot find which method gets invoked
any idea!!
Please help

The setObjectValue: method of NSTableViewDataSource protocol gets called after you finish editing you cell.
- (void)tableView:(NSTableView *)tableView setObjectValue:(id)object forTableColumn:(NSTableColumn *)tableColumn row:(NSInteger)row;
Override this method to get the value you entered while you edited the cell. The value is passed though the object parameter. You can add that to your array.

how to set hidden property to NO for particular cell in tableView

I am new to iphone.I have a small doubt that is,I have a table view with 66 rows initially i placed a progress view to all rows but in viewdidload i set it to hidden for all those like below in tableViewClass(ShowProgressViewCont)
cell.progressView.hidden = YES;
here (cell) is the the reference of the CustomCell class.In this class i declare a progress view and setter and getter properties also be set here in this class
here in tableview there is a download button in each cell.If we click on that download button(for example in 66th cell).we have to remove the hidden property to the progress view for that particular 66th cell only.The remaining 65 cells should have the progress view in hidden only like that for all cells.
If any body know this please help me....
Are you familiar with the concept of table cells being reused?
viewDidLoad is not an appropriate place to manipulate the content of a single cell. It may work fine if the table is so small that all of its cells fit on the screen (in both orientations).
When there are more cells in the table than beeing displayed on the screen, then those cell that became invisible recently is being reused and displayed again.
So if there are 6 cells on the screen at a time then table cell no. 7 (sometimes 8) will be identical with cell no. 1.
cellForRowAtIndexPath would be a better place to hide/unhide certain views of a cell.
If it is a custom cell already then the cell's layoutSubViews could be appropriate, too. However, only in the tableViewController's cellForRowAtIndexPath you will have easy access to both, the table's data and the associated cell.
cellForRowAtIndexPath is called every time when a cell is about to become visible. Use the default reusing-mechanism to ensure that a proper cell object will be reused. It is pretty much straight forward.
Get the cell at index 65 and then cast it to your custom cell
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:[NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:64 inSection:0]];
YourCustomCell *customCell = (YourCustomCell *)cell;
customCell.progressView.hidden = NO;
First set the row number in your download button in CellForRowAtInedexPath
downloadButton.tag = indexPath.row
[downloadButton addTarget:self action:#selector(actionDownload:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
in actionDownload, make the IndexPath from button.tag and get the cell from "cellForRowAtIndexPath:",
finally update via reloadRowsAtIndexPaths: withRowAnimation:
Hide your progress view in your custom cell means make the default property of every progress view is hidden ,and then your button click method .
CutomeCell *cell = (CutomeCell *)[[button superview] superview];
[cell.progressView setHidden:NO];
NSIndexPath *rowToReload = [[self tableView] indexPathForCell:cell];
NSArray* rowsToReload = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:rowToReload, nil];
[UITableView reloadRowsAtIndexPaths:rowsToReload withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationNone];
may this help you ...
your model should be tracking the progress for every button clicked. for purposes of this answer, let's say the model is held in a property called modelInformationArray (which would contain an array of objects that relate to each cell in the table)
when the download button is clicked for a cell, modelInformationArray is modified in such a way that its object knows a download is being processed for it.
that object reports the downloading processing in a member called downloadingProcessingStarted. there are many other ways to do that part.
to get to the answer to your question … to then unhide the progress view, you would do something as follows in your UITableViewDataSource implementation of tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath: .
- (UITableViewCell*)tableView:tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath*)indexPath {
YourCustomCell* cell = ...
if ([[self.modelInformationArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] downloadingProcessingStarted])
cell.progressView.hidden = NO;
}

Cant access an int value

i declared an int value as my imageIndexForSend through the following code in myView class.
int imageIndexForSend;
#property int imageIndexForSend;
#synthesize imageIndexForSend;
after on a button click i am displaying a popover which is PopOver calss.
there is table view with multiple indexes in popover class.when i click on any row in PopOver class table it set myView class imageIndexForSend as
In PopOver
-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
myView *obj = [[myView alloc] init];
[obj getImageForSend:indexPath.row];
[staticSceneController release];
}
in myViewClass
-(void)getImageForSend:(int)index{
imageIndexForSend = index;
}
then i am return to myViewClass after dismissing popover (popOver class) and doing some actions in myViewClass.
then i am clicking a send button.but the integer value imageIndexForSend is zero.cant get the old value which i set from PopUp.
can any one tell me a way to get the old imageIndexForSend value.may i know what mistake i done.
First, you name a method with get to set the value, it's bad.
Second, you use a property and synthesize it, so you don't need to rewrite the set method unless you need to have a custom set method.
And finally you create a new view on each selection of tableview cell !
1) Remove your getImageForSend: method, you don't need that with property
2) Instead using : [obj getImageForSend:indexPath.row];, use : obj.imageIndexForSend = indexPath.row;
3) Don't create a new view on each selection, assign the value on the existing view.
A better way to transmit data from your popover to your view (controller ?) is to have a delegate property in your popover class and set it with your view object, create a delegate protocol with a method that is called when a cell is selected in popover with an int argument (the index) then make your view class adopts the protocol and do a obj.imageIndexForSend = argument; in your protocol method.
It seems you're allocating a myView instance and assigning that to a local variable (obj), but then you don't keep a pointer to that new instance anywhere.
From what I understand, you already have an existing instance of myView, so what you need to do is to set the variable on that instance, and not create a new one every time.
Each instance have their own set of variables, so changing it in a new instance won't affect any other instances.
You are instantiating a new MyView whenever the user taps on any row of your UITableView. You should try to access the original MyView instead (or whatever object shall retain that setup value).
Within your popover, you should find a way to access the instance that holds the actual index-value. How exactly that is achieved depends a lot on your implementation.
In other words, do not instantiate something within an object that has a shorter lifetime than the object that will access that very instance.
If you're trying to access the index of the selected row in the UITableView you can just use the following:
int index = [myTableView indexPathForSelectedRow].row;

How to add a selected UITableViewController value to a previous UITableViewController?

User clicks on "Remote" button and then the following UITableViewController loads up:
The user then selects any value upon which I call:
[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
to go back again to the previous UITableViewController (screen shot 1).
How do I add the selected value to the UITableViewController?
I hope I am making sense.
In your remote recipients table view controller, you have the Array with which you are loading the table (say myTestArray). Keep it as a property. And also have a NSInteger property (say selectedRow) which will identify which row user selected. And when you go back to the add recipient table view controller, you can know which row was selected by
[remoteRecipientsController.myTestArray objectAtIndex:remoteRecipientsController.selectedRow];
Or use delegates. Upon row selection the remote recipients will give a call back telling which row was selected.
Update:
If you dont have access to the view controller, use delegates.
You can get both array and the selected row in the delegate method, something as follows:
-(void) remoteRecipient:(RemoteRecipientController *) remoteRecipientController didSelectRow:(NSInteger) row {
// Get the selected row
... = [remoteRecipientController.myTestArray objectAtIndex:row ];
}
Or you can also configure the delegate to just return the selected row (as your string), something as follows:
-(void) remoteRecipient:(RemoteRecipientController *) remoteRecipientController didSelectRow:(NSString *) selectedRecipient {
}
Ofcourse, In this case you need to make remote recipient controller pass the selected row as NSString in the delegate.

Passing a value on a IBAction button method in a UITableview Row

I have a value called member id and I want to send it to another view controller, If I place the following in didSelectRowAtIndexPath, The value passes to the variable "member".
int memberIndex = [indexPath indexAtPosition: [indexPath length] - 1];
member = [[tableDataSource2 objectAtIndex: memberIndex] objectForKey:#"Memberid"];
If it is placed in the cellForRow, of course it rewrites with every row created. I have a button in each row that launches a viewController, I want the button action to grab the rows "member" and pass it to the new controller. Is there a "didSelectButton at index path method" or a way to grab that on the fly?
any Ideas would be great. It's the first time I'm adding a button to a UiTableview.
Thanks
Why not use the accessory view? It is a built-in button that you can skin with any image you want to give the UI any kind of feel that is required. Then add this to the table's delegate:
accessoryButtonTappedForRowWithIndexPath: (NSIndexPath *) indexPath{ ... }
You will then be able to call your method on your table data source and launch your secondary view.
Just play with "tag".
Each UIView has an attribute tag (int).
in the cellForRowAtIndexPath :
//create yourButton and then
yourButton.tag = memberIndex;
and when you are using an IBAction just get the sender :
- (IBAction) didSelectButton:(id)sender
{
int memberIndex = ((UIButton *)sender).tag;
//
}
tips : to get the sender when you are setting the action property of your button don't forget the ":"
E.G
action = #selector(didSelectButton:);

How to pass values between two Custom UITableViewCells in iphone

I have two customized cells in an iphone UITableViewController and would like to capture the data in one cell into another.
I am currently unable to post images and please assume the following points.
There are two custom UITableViewcells
Notes Textfield in one customcell
Submit button in another text field.
Now I want to pass data typed in the notes textfield to be available when I click the Submit button. Is this possible? Please help :(
In general you should store your data separate from views. So if you have some table controller there must data objects like array or dictionary or array of dictionaries. And when you click submit you should get associated data object and work with it.
In your case when textfield lose focus you must get textfield value and store it in your data store.
UPD: It not very clean but can help at first
- (void) textFieldDidEndEditing: (UITextField *) textField {
// At first need to get cell. findSuperviewWithClass is custom method to find proper superview object
MyCellClass *cell = (MyCellClass*)[textField findSuperviewWithClass:[MyCellClass class]];
// and indexPath for it
NSIndexPath *index = [tableView indexPathForCell:cell];
// tableData is NSArray of my objects
MyDataObjClass *dataObj = [tableData objectAtIndex:index.row];
dataObj.text = textField.text;
}
