How to use multi-customized UITableCell in just one UITableView - iphone

I am developing an iphone application which have a complicated view is to display stocks information with 3 sections:
- Extended quote which include a chart and stock info (id, price...)
- Other quote info
- News (headline)
They are should be grouped and user can click on its header to expand or collapse the content.
As I know I should use UITableView with customized cells, but I just find out the way to custom all cells in a same way, but here, I need at least 3 different types.
Does anybody have experience about this please tell me what should I do?
Thanks you so much!

After searching in StackOverflow and in the internet, finally, I found the way to show multi-customized UITableCell in just one UITableView by checking the row index / section which you want to custom, create a new UIView then add it into cell content view, also, we can use this way to custom the section header and UITable header.

xcode : how should we display large number of Label & buttons in Tabular form?

Actually I am having problem in displaying around 10-15 rows of Label & Button controls in view. Then I used UIScroll view to achieve this but that corrupt the appearance of design.
As you can see the generated output is different from the appearance in the Xcode while developing.
Please guid me what should be done to render proper design?
Thanks

You should use UITableView.
Create custom UITableViewCell.
Your each row will contain one UILabel and UIButton.
You can check.
See the attached image :
Create a custom UITableViewCell and use that one in your code.
And in cellForRowAtIndexPath assign values to your cell properties.
Refer this Apple sample code
Also there are so many examples over net, search for custom UITableViewCell and you will find various tutorials out there.
Here is one more third-party tutorial link:
Hope this helps.

Where do I start to create a "Contact Info" page/table?

I want to create a view in my app where the user can contact me. At first glance I can see it's a grouped table view, but I'm unsure about the top part?
How do I get the Logo/Thumbnail there along side the big text and small text?
- I'm assuming it's a custom tableview cell?
Also, what about adding the buttons into a table cell? all evenly spaced apart? Would this also be through a custom table view cell? (designed in IB)
One last thing, is how would I put these two cells in with the rest?
My guess is that the green image and the three buttons on top (call, email, visit website) are all subviews of the table's header view. You can easily do that, if you go to Interface Builder and drag a UIView to the top part of your UITableView.
Then, you will need custom cells for the next part of the interface. One easy way is to make them all in IB and then create outlets and hook them to your table. Read the Table View Programming Guide for iOS regarding more alternatives for custom cells. If you need more customization, start from this excellent article. Finally, regarding the bluish rounded background of number "20", have a look at this SO question. Good luck!

Left area of section in iPhone TableView

I have a section where I would like to customize the left area of a section a TableView - a bit like viewForHeaderInSection.
I have thought at using a cell for the section instead, but it would be a lot of nitty-gritty.
If I understand your question correctly, you want to customise the left-hand-side of some, or every cell in a UITableView? Then you need to make create your own custom table view cells. I normally make these cells in Interface Builder; this post helped me out. See also the Customizing Cells section of Apple's Table View Programming Guide for iOS.
I read your question to mean that there is one custom element to the left of a bunch of cells. The only way I know of offhand is to use a cell as you describe and then have a left view and a tableview inside of it.

Create a view like Tweetie's User Profile view

I'm just wondering if anyone has any idea on how you can create a view that looks like the user profile view in apps like Tweetie, where there are seemingly multiple tables with a couple of normal (straight up and down tables) and then two rows of six cells, which in Tweeties case have the number of followers, following etc.
I'm trying to make a similar view for my app, but can't seem to find out the best way to create it. Any tutorials, advice etc. would be appreciated.
Thanks.
P.S. Here's a picture of the view which I'm trying to recreate.

To get the same effect as Tweetie's split cell, create a custom cell and add a Segmented Control and create title and detail labels
It is a grouped tableview using custom cells. The image you show has two visible sections, and the top of a third. It also has a custom table header view. The second section has two cells built from four UILabels and a dividing line graphic in the middle. You can create this in a nib, or by hand.
You can even change the grey pin-stripe background if you want.

iPhone app - some custom UITableViewCell questions

At the moment, I have a settings view in my iPhone app built with Interface builder, it consists of a background image, some text fields, labels and buttons. Because this looks bad, I want to convert the settings view to an UITableView with custom UITableViewCells.
I already tried adding some cells into my settings view's XIB and returning them in the cellForRowAtIndexPath method (with [return myCell];), as written in Apple's tutorial, but this was not working for me - my whole TableView looked strange and it only showed the first cell correctly.
Is it possible to design these custom cells in Interface Builder? Do I have to create an empty XIB for them or can I put them in my view's XIB? And how do I insert them into my TableView?
Thanks in advance,
Yassin
You can absolutely add custom table cells that you built in interface builder. This includes both static cells and Dynamic cells. However without you providing more information the best I can say is "double check the docs and try again." I can only say that it works and it's rather straightforward so it's hard to say what you may have missed. It might be more helpful if you post what you have for the tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath method.
Since you say you just have some text fields, I would recommend looking at the technique for static row content section of the Table View Programming guide. You probably would want to have each field of your form correspond to a row in a Segmented Table View, it'll make everything look nicer.
