I want to add a tabs pager view with 5 tabs and each tab contain uitableview as subview on uitableviewcell . The problem at the height of each uitableview , I should update the cell height every the user swipe or press on any tab and reload the tableview each time . Is it correct ? . Sometimes, the view is hanged . So Is there any solution for this problem .
Thank you,
Nada Gamal
Looks like the architecture of the app is a bit off. You sure should avoid such a deep nesting of tableViews within tableViews. There are multiple & excellent native UI alternatives like a StackViews or traditional UIScrollViews, Collection Views that you should consider utilizing.
Such a hierarchy of tableViews is definitely not recommended & you should evaluate alternate implementation strategies rather than waste valuable time debugging this.

I have to build a tableView with a top bar "slider" like the one in the youtube app in the picture below.
I just wanted to ask if it's better to:
Use just one tableView and switch the content by changing some switches in the delegates methods and reloading all the rows
or
Use two tableViews and hide the one that's not displayed
If none of the two methods above is the best one please point me in the right direction, thank you.
Option 1 :
Take a UISegmentView on the top and have a single UITableView. Change the content of UITableView on valueChange event of segment.
Option 2 :
Have look at this awesome library by Yalantis - Segmentio. I have myself used this on couple of occasions. Handy when you have to horizontally scroll the segments (exactly what you need in your case). You can have a single UITableView for this as well.
Option 3 :
Check out another useful library by Yalantis - Persei. Just hard scroll the table to see these options. Again, single UITableView.
In all, the best solution, in my opinion is to have a single UITableView. Working with multiple tableView might seem a clean way for a start, but trust me, maintainability is the key and having a single UITableView would be a better approach.
I was wondering if this nice master-detail transition where you click on the tableView cell and it expand to disclose the detail , with the cell's label being the navigation bar title is an interface which is part of the SDK object library or it is a customised one?
This is a custom transition between ViewControllers.
There's a nice example of a few transitions (including this one) in this library.
Of course you'll need to add the tableview etc' but this is a great place to start.
I've tried few things but so far this is the best option I could think of.
Animating the frames of all the visible cells and making use of childViewController is how I achieved it.
Animation test project
https://github.com/armaluca/iOS-App-Store-Explore-Section-Animation
Would be nice to know any other possible solution and ultimately to know how Apple did it!
It is custom implementation.There is no API in UIKit/UITableView which implements this behaviour. Only animation to present a cell is there(which I think is used here).
This behaviour can be implemented like-
Add sections(News, Productivity, etc) in table with zero cells(numberOfRowsInSection: = 0 for all sections). Then on tapping any section just reload that section(reloadSections:withRowAnimation:) by adding a cell to it(numberOfRowsInSection: = 1) and animation(maybe UITableViewRowAnimationMiddle). Scroll that section/row to top in same animation loop(UI update cycle).
I guess this question is more of a best practice question than a problem solving question.
I would like to have a page on my app that has a UITableView at the bottom of it and some buttons/text above the UITableView but instead of just the UITableView scrolling, I would like the whole page to scroll.
I have been searching around and some people say to put the UITableView inside of a UIScrollView and disable scrolling on it and recalculate the height so the table view is as tall as all of it's rows.
Then I have read some other people say just to put the buttons/text in a Table Row Header and just have that scroll with the whole table view.
Which is the better practice and are either of them frowned upon?
Thanks!
Open the main storyboard and on the bottom right hand side you should see a list of view controllers, buttons, gestures etc.. In that list there should be a controller called "page control" that opts for the page-scroll you are looking for as well as the continuous one which you are trying to get rid of, you can just insertt this in to your basic view controller (via drag and drop). As for the button responsible for the segue (turning the page) you can find that in the list too. I can't explain how to program the button to turn the page step by step as I am typing this on my phone at work right now. If you want I can edit this later in more detail
The question is hopefully pretty straight forward. In one of the tabs of my application where I'm presenting a set of data from Core Data, I want to give the user the option of a Grid view or Table view. Both views should share the same custom header with a button in the header that let's them toggle.
I see it in other apps all the time, but couldn't return any searches. I'm getting stuck on how to flip between the 2 controllers based on different classes.
Any help or guidance is much appreciated. Thanks a lot!
Assuming you are using a UICollectionViewFlowLayout, just adjust the itemSize property of your items to be the width of their containing view.
Bam. Instant "table view"
Sure, it's not quite a tableView, and reasonable people can disagree over when a tableView might be more appropriate than a collectionView, but for what you describe (giving the user a choice between rows or grid), it's probably the magic bullet you seek.
I need to display students timetable in an application; a TableView contains a complete week, from Monday to Sunday. I'd like the student to be able to go next week by swiping horizontally, finding a new UITableView filled with the new week.
In other words, I'd like to scroll like photos on Facebook, but with complete UITableView filled with pieces of data.
How to do this programatically? Embedding several UITableView in a UIScrollView?
Thanks a lot...
Sincerely,
Hervé
I've done this before using a UIScrollView with paging enabled.
The other alternative which is slightly more complex but makes it easier to manage each individual table separately is to use a UIPageViewController.
It sits behind the view controller views sort of like a TabBarController or a NavigationController.
You manage it a bit like a UITableView in that it has a datasource and it will ask for the "view controller at index".
Examples of this being used are in the Photos app when you are looking at full size images.
I would suggest you to use UIPageView controller with UIView.... and you can use animations on those views whatever you like.
