UITableView Implementation - iphone

in the screen shot below, there are UISegmentedControl in between grouped UITableViewCells...it seems. How does one add other controls in between grouped cells in a UITableView?

You could make the Segmented View the same size as 1 table cell. Dead Simple to do in Interface Builder.

Tables with multiple sections, and sections can have custom header and footer..
- (UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section; // custom view for header. will be adjusted to default or specified header height
- (UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForFooterInSection:(NSInteger)section; // custom view for footer. will be adjusted to default

UITableView custom plain gray index

I really need to implement a set of gray index bars for my app.
Currently, I'm using a UITableView which I split off into multiple sections.
However, the default section indexes have a gradient appearance which I think is undesirable.
Is it posssible to change the indexes to have a custom appearance such as a plain gray appearance?
If so how? Thank you!
You can implement your custom "index view" ( section header ) by using these tableView delegate or datasource (I'm kind of blur) methods.
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section;
- (UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section;

Custom Section Title View for UITableView

In some apps such as Cool Iris, LiveShare, i see them using custom views for their plain UITableView section titles. Is there a way to replace the standard section title bar with a custom view?
In order to customize the look of your section header, there are two methods you will probably want to use.
- (UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section
and
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section
These are both found in the UITableView delegate protocol. The first will let you create a custom view to display as your section header. The second just makes sure you get the size you want for it so that your view doesn't get cut off

Displaying both section header and custom view for table section header

I have a table view with multiple sections. I want to display different section header titles and want to add a label on the right corner of each section at a right margin of 4px.
Can I implement both
- (NSString *)tableView:(UITableView *)iTableView titleForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)iSection
- (UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section
to achieve this?
Only one of them will ever get called successfully. tableView:viewForHeaderInSection: will get precedence.
Define a view with a title label and another label that sits on the right corner and return it in tableView:viewForHeaderInSection: with the values set.

Setting a basic footer to a UITableView

How is a basic footer set to a UITableView programmatically?
Just a centered text?
EDIT:
How can the bar color be set and the footer bar position fixed to the bottom of the screen or if the thumbs dont fill a screen, the footer isnt above the bottom of the screen.
viewForFooterInSection sets the section's footer. To set the table's footer, you want to set
self.tableView.tableFooterView = myCustomFooterView
where myCustomFooterView is something you setup elsewhere. You'd probably set that in viewDidLoad.
You can use UITableViewDataSource callback (just text):
- (NSString *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView titleForFooterInSection:(NSInteger)section
Or UITableViewDelegate (any custom view you like):
- (UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForFooterInSection:(NSInteger)section

Custom View in UITableViewCell

I am trying to create a UITableView Section that contains two buttons aligned horizontally. This would be similar to the Contacts app, where on the bottom of a specific contact page they have buttons lined up to Text the contact and share the contact. However in my tableView, I want the two buttons to be placed in between other sections - so i can't set the table's header or footer view? How would i do this?
If I understand the question correct, you want something like this
section 1
your buttons
section 2
For this you can create custom headers/footers for sections instead of table. The methods you might be looking for are in UITableViewDelegate
- (UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForFooterInSection:(NSInteger)section
- (UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section
Look into subclassing UITableviewCell class, you can draw your custom view in there and use it, look at the UICatalog sample project in Apple site they do that there a lot
