I'm new to iPhone programming and is faced with a task to show data on of Books where the first table view shows the books in my library using the title of the book to sort and another table view to show the authors. There is a need to have a search bar on both of the table views and when used to search will show results categorized as certain results is returned according to the author and the others returned according to the title. Something similar to the search results returned by the iPod App.
Thanks in advance to all who can shed light.
From what I gather, it sounds like you need to organize this somehow. I recommend you try a tabbed-based application. Create three tabs with the first two having navigation controllers for your tables. The first tab will have the tableView that sorts by book title. The second tab will have the tableView that sorts by the author. The third tab can do the search for either case. Hopefully, that points you in the right direction.

I want to use the News system extension from Georg Ringer like this:
Multiple News Details & Lists All on one page
the Detail view on top of the "cards" of the List view should show the Detail of the item clicked on
The behavior seems like to allow multiple list but only 1 detail view
Detail View of "Services"
List View of "Services"
------ other stuff
Detail View of "Projects"
List View of "Projects"
------ other stuff
Detail View of "Sectors"
List View of "Sectors"
Has anyone experience with this?
I would change the list view to handle the first news entry with much more information. In Fluid you have access to all needed fields for displaying it like in detail view.
Then, you only need three list views on the page with your special template. No need for a detail view.
In general it's possible what you desire but you've to adjust the detail-view in the plugins statically to a special detail or you always will only be able to display one detail at a moment, no matter which category because news is like probably all TYPO3-extensions not programmed with the ability to transfer parameters for several plugins on a page at once.
Many years ago when extensions still have been programmed fundamentally different I had some similar desires related to other extensions and programmed something which transferred the parameters always related to each plugin on a page, so it was possible to regulate several plugins of the same type on a page separated. Today it will be harder probably to implement something like that.
What you can do is to look in the manual about the AJAX-posibilities of news. There might be still an option to fetch the detail for each of the categories separated, perhaps even on page-load already, but it will be a nifty setup which takes probably some time.
I am new to iPhone programming and am having a really hard time trying to figure out how to add a table view to a tab bar application. There are not many tutorials on this for iOS SDK 4 and the Apple documentation is very light on details. Since I am new I would really like some tutorial that has screenshots (or at least clear instructions) when it comes to things being done in Interface Builder (like making connections between the objects and File Owner, etc), usually lot of tutorials/blogs gloss out these details.
What I am trying to do is create a tab bar based application with 3 tabs (this I am able to do). The first tab needs to display a table view with the header having 2 buttons (one on right and other on left, with the title in middle).The title is actually today's date, obtained from the phone. Clicking either of the header buttons should take you to another table and the title should be yesterday's date (if left button is clicked) and tomorrow's date if right button is clicked.
Can some one please suggest me a good tutorial for this. I am thoroughly confused by the Interface Builder (especially how to create connections).
The only page I remember frequenting on the past, is CocoaDevCentral.
Personally, I learnt how to use Xcode through video tutorials, so I recommend you to start searching there. Also, to help you with your search, always look for the full name of the objects involved, for example: instead of searching for "tableView", look for "UITableView", apple's notation is very particular and helps narrowing down the result.
Finally, ignore the nay-sayers about Interface Builder, you should give it a try, and see if it fits your style. For instance, I like being able to get a look at the overall design, as I usually help with the design.
I am developing an application in which i am displaying the result of web service in table view, now i want to display according to the selection.
for example.
there are certain items such as price, description, title.
now if i want to display all the result according to price how should i display.
I have used XML parsing to display the result in table view.
Please give me the proper solution for this.
Awaiting for your positive reply.
Create an NSSortDescriptor for each way you want to sort the data in the tableview. Each time your choose a different way to sort, your datasource is going to have to refresh.
More details here as this questions has been answered many times.
I am fairly new to programming and I am working with Objective C. I am trying to program an app where you have a UITableView, than you click on cell, which will bring you to another UITableView with more options. I have only encountered problems, however, in populating this second UITableView. Any suggestions for how to do this? Do i need to create new classes for each new table?
You could also look into a UINavigationBar if you are going to navigate through tables and want to go back and forth between them (once you get it connected to everything correctly, UINaviagationBars can be great, because you don't have to worry about what level you are at in your tables, it takes care of it for you! but like i said, after you hook it up right, which is a pain in the butt)
Your question's a bit vague, but it sounds like you need two UITableViewControllers:
ParentUITableViewController: This houses the top level table view that, when you tap on an element, moves you to the second
ChildUITableViewController: Houses the child table view that populates itself based on what was tapped on the first
The Apple examples are excellent for learning this sort of architecture, this one may be exactly what you're after: DrillDownExample
I am creating an iPhone app which I would like to have a similar interface to the iPhone's native contact picker view, i.e. an alphabetical list which you can scroll through, with a search bar up top which narrows down the list. Particularly, I'd like to be able to show the letters of the alphabet down the side so that as you scroll through the list, you see your position in the alphabet in the scrollbar. The problem is that my data basically consists of key-value pairs, not contact data, so I can't easily use the native contact picker.
As far as I can see, I have two options to achieve what I want:
Use the ABPeoplePickerNavigationController class and hack it to use an address book which I fill myself with non-address type data. The problem with this is that, by default, the address book will fill up with the contacts from the iPhone so that each time the app opened, I'd have to flush those contacts and build my own list. (Not to mention other problems associated with using an interface which is bound to a particular data structure)
Use a UISearchBar and UIScrollView. This would be fine, but I'm not sure how to do anything to the scroll bar except change its colour - I can't see how to override its contents.
Any advice on which is the simplest way? What are the pitfalls (particularly of 1)?
To get the letters down the side, you can just provide a -sectionIndexTitlesForTableView: method in your table view datasource. As for searching, there's a bit more work there, and it's very dependent on your data. A UISearchBar is the place to start, however.
For a search bar, have a look at TTSearchBar in the Three20 library.
Everything else can be easily implemented using UITableView.
