Why does my UITableView only show two rows of each section? - iphone

I have a UITableView and when I build it only two rows will be displayed. Each section has more than two cells to be displayed, I am confused since they are all done the same?

Replace this:
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {
return [self.listData count];
}
with:
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {
return [[self.listData objectAtIndex:section] count];
}

It looks like you're using only one value for the number of rows per section:
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {
return [self.listData count];
}
Does each section have the same number of rows? If not, you should be using section to grab the right number.
It's what's returned in this method (in your case, [self.listData count]) that determines how many rows to display for that section.
I'd analyze the code some more but it's pretty hard to read... :)

Accordion style tableview without using sections

I am interning for the summer on an iOS native app development team. They gave me a task of accomplishing removing/inserting cells in a tableview without using sections. I am struggling with the task if anyone could take a look at the code and try to help me out id be much appreciated. I am getting some removals and disappearances but it is not staying consistent, and it is adding cells that are already visible. (consistency in the sense that once i insert rows, row 3 is now row 5, and my modulo arithmetic gets thrown off.
I am very new to objective c so any advice / help would be much appreciated.

Take a look at TLIndexPathTools. It greatly simplifies building dynamic tables like this. It does all the work calculating and performing the batch updates for you. Try running the Outline sample project. It demonstrates how to build an expandable tree without using sections. You can accomplish what you need by just building up a two-level tree.

I have big delay using search in my UITableView

There is my problem, i have an application which have decent amount of data. My .plist file contain array of elements, it looks like this - Orange, proteins - 25, carbs - 40, fat - 50, etc.. Totally, each item contain 7 rows of sub-rows with data.
My tableview show all array displayed with sections, in one big massive tableview. In top of screen i have a search bar. When i tap search bar, and enter any letter, it show new array like this - M: Big Mac, Meat, Meals, etc.
So, before i reach 700+ elements in my array everything was just fine, but, when i added last 500 elements (my .plist file edited from 200 to 700 elements), i realize that when i tap search and enter any letter, i have big delay. First delay about 0,6 sec (when i tap search field), second delay after i press button in my keyboard (about 0,6 sec again). I think, that is because i add many items to my .plist.
Obviously, i don't want to reduce number of my objects in array. I guess i have "bad" code, and i ask you for any helpful advice. Please help me, i guess i need to improve it! There is my code, that contain my UITableView code and Search methods:

In your code every time you change the text in the search bar the searchTableView function is run. You will want to make sure this function is as quick as possible.
I see you are iterating over the list of NSDictionarys from the plist file in the function and building a search array. If the plist is large this is probably quite expensive of an operation to be doing on every text change.
for (NSDictionary *dictionary in listOfItems)
{
NSArray *array = [dictionary objectForKey:#"Products"];
[searchArray addObjectsFromArray:array];
}
I think if you moved this iteration to viewDidLoad and made searchArray a global variable you will notice some speed increases.
Hope this helps.
I think you should use SqliteDatabase to store so much data,and use SQL to search your data.Every time you touch search bar,all of your data alloc in a new NSMutableArray with the method
-(void)searchTableView
this is why when you touch the search bar , it will delay 0.6sec when your data is too much

Persisting Checklists on a UITableView using NSUserDefults

I have a very simple table view which shows a list of days. Once the user selects which days are relevant to them this data is saved in NSUserdefaults. I then need the check marks to remain once the user has exited then re-entered the table view.
I am very close to getting my desired functionality - I can save the array of check marked items and get it to persist using NSUserDefaults but I don't know how to make these selections persist (keep a check mark next to the selected item) once a user has exited then re-entered the table view.
I know that I need to edit the cellForRowAtIndexPath method but I am not sure exactly what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have attached my code below:
#import "DayView.h"
#implementation DayView
#synthesize sourceArray;
#synthesize selectedArray;
- (id)init
{
self = [super initWithStyle:UITableViewStyleGrouped];
if (self) {
// Custom initialization
[[self navigationItem] setTitle:#"Days"];
[[self tableView] setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
}
return self;
}
- (void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated
{
// create a standardUserDefaults variable
NSUserDefaults * standardUserDefaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
// Convert array to string

NSLog(#"Disapear: %#", time);

Create your tempSource as follows:
NSMutableArray * tempSource = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
NSArray *daysOfWeek = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"Monday", #"tuestay", #"wednesday", #"thursday", #"friday", #"saturday", #"sunday",nil];
for (int i = 0; i < 7; i++)
{
NSString *dayOfWeek = [daysOfWeek objectAtIndex:i];
NSDictionary *dict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:dayOfWeek, #"day", [NSNumber numberWithBool:NO], #"isSelected",nil];
[tempSource addObject:dict];
}
[self setSourceArray:tempSource];
[tempSource release];
Then use this Array in cellForRow and didSelect as follows:
cellForRow
NSDictionary *dayOfWeekDictionary = [sourceArray objectAtIntex:indexPath.row];
cell.textLabel.text = [dayOfWeekDictionary objectForKey:#"day"];
if ([[dayOfWeekDictionary objectForKey:#"isSelected"] boolValue])
[cell setAccessoryType:UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark];
else
[cell setAccessoryType:UITableViewCellAccessoryNone];
didSelect
NSDictionary *dayOfWeekDictionary = [sourceArray objectAtIntex:indexPath.row];
if ([[dayOfWeekDictionary objectForKey:#"isSelected"] boolValue])
[dayOfWeekDictionary setObject:[NSNumber numberWithBool:NO] forKey:#"isSelected"];
else
[dayOfWeekDictionary setObject:[NSNumber numberWithBool:YES] forKey:#"isSelected"];
To save this Array use this statement:
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject:sourceArray forKey:#"array"];

iPhone TableView Search XML

I have a question about adding XML to the searchbar in a tableview. I can get all the external XML file to load in the tableview, but when I hit the searchbar up top, and hit a letter, it crashes.
I think it's something really simple that I'm doing wrong. In my RootViewController, there's a function called searchTableView. I feel like that's where it's not picking up the search items. I think it's somewhere around the objectForKey:#"title". When I debug, I get this error message also: "NSCFArray objectForKey unrecognized selector". Here's my searchTableView function:
- (void) searchTableView {
NSString *searchText = searchBar.text;
NSMutableArray *searchArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
for (NSDictionary *dictionary in listOfItems)
{
NSArray *array = [dictionary objectForKey:#"title"];
[searchArray addObjectsFromArray:array];
}
for (NSString *sTemp in searchArray)
{
NSRange titleResultsRange = [sTemp rangeOfString:searchText options:NSCaseInsensitiveSearch];
if (titleResultsRange.length > 0)
[copyListOfItems addObject:sTemp];
}
[searchArray release];
searchArray = nil;
}
Ok figured it out. For some reason this was really hard to find documentation how to do this.
Here's my RootViewController.m below.
My pList is configured as:
Root (Array)
Item0 (Dictionary)
Name (String)
Item1 (Dictionary)
Name (String)..
Here's my code, hopefully this helps anyone else looking for help on this:
#implementation RootViewController
#synthesize listOfItems, copyListOfItems;
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
//Initialize the array.
NSString *filePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"plistArray" ofType:#"plist"];

UINavigationController app crashes when clicking the "back" button

hoping someone can help me.
In the didSelectRowAtIndexPath method, I am loading and pushing detail view controller, when you tap the "back" button in the detail view to go back to the root view, the app will crash. No error logs or anything.
I'm 95% sure it's got something to do with the "rides" object being released too early, but can't figure it out.
Thanks for your help!

Define your NSString's in your header, then place them in cellForRowAtIndexPath:
just Cut whole thing from viewdidload and paste this on viewwillapper method.
