To customize cell, we implement class inherit UITableViewCell. Now, to customize header of Section in grouped UITableView (same to below picture), how to do? Please guide to me!
Implement tableView:viewForHeaderInSection: in your table view delegate.
Starting with iOS 5 you also need to implement
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section
In addition to
- (UIView *) tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section
Otherwise it won't work.
From Apple's reference
The returned object can be a UILabel or UIImageView object, as well as a custom view. This method only works correctly when tableView:heightForHeaderInSection: is also implemented.

I have a UITableView, and I press the row, but do not release finger, so didSelectRowAtIndexPath is not called yet, right?
How to detect on which row i clicked? in which method?
How to detect that I clicked on table view? Is there any method like rowIsPressed? or onTableViewTouchDown?
There are two options at least:
1) You can subclass UITableViewCell and than use the touchhandling you know from a default uiview. (Like touchesBegan: etc.) / OR add a custom uiview as contentView of the tablecell.
2) Add a gesturerecognizer to each tablecell.
To find out in which row you are, you could give every row a tag (which than refers to the row) in cellForRow:atIndexPath:
try this
- (NSIndexPath *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
There is no such method to detect the selected state before lifting the finger... I guess you should override the UITableView class and add a UIGestureRecognizer to it.
And about your second question, I think you are talking about this table view delegate method:
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
But there is also another method that will give you the current selected row. This is it (directly from the table view class):
- (NSIndexPath *)indexPathForSelectedRow
Hope to have helped!
I'd like to implement a grouped and indexed UITableView without section headers.
I'm using sectionIndexTitlesForTableView:(UITableView *)tableView to return my titles.
I also implemented tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section and returned nil as well as tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section and returned 0.0f.
Both doesn't remove the section headers. There is still a space between the different sections.
I had the same problem and could not find a solution. In the end, I had to subclass UIViewController (not UITableViewController) and use a UITableView with transparent background and the style set to UITableViewStylePlain. Then, I created custom cells for the first and the last row (with rounded corners) and some transparent margin left and right. I can give you more details if you want, but as it does not answer your question straight, I'll just share this link for now.
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
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
I've seen some applications on the iPhone have an image on top of the tableView, which is straight forward and can be set with something like tableViewHeader.. and a picture below set with tableViewFooter. I recently seen an application where there is an image in the header, a table view, then another image below the footer, and then subsequently a couple UITableViewCells...
Is there a straight forward way to accomplish this without using two UITableViews in the same controller?
Multiple sections will accomplish this, you can also use this method on your UITableViewDelegate
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath;
in conjunction with a custom UITableView cell created in
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
This will allow you to specify a custom cell with the appropriate height that contains your image.
Use 2 sections.
