How to set section headers without repeating data in tableview iOS? - ios

Question

I have a table view and now I'm initialising the table like,
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
return [arr count]+1;
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
return [arr count]+1;
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
NSUInteger row = [indexPath row];
if (row == 0)
{
UITableViewCell *cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] init];
return cell;
}
else
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"moduleCell";
MyTableViewCell *cell = (MyTableViewCell*)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier: CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil)
{
NSArray *nib = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:#"MyTableViewCell" owner:self options:nil];
cell = [nib objectAtIndex:0];
cell.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
cell.selectedBackgroundView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#""]];
cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone;
}
current = [arr objectAtIndex:indexPath.row-1];
[cell setCellDetails:arr WithIndex:row-1 withParentView:self];
return cell;
}
}
When I'm doing this data repeating in my tableview. Before I do this, I did,
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
return 1;
}
This is working but I need to set section headers like titles. So is there a way to set section headers without repeating data?

Answer 1

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
if(indexPath.section == 0){//for first section
}else if(indexPath.section == 1){//for second section
}
}

Answer 2

You need to implement this method:
- (NSString *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView titleForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section {
if (section==0) {
return "name";
}else{
//
}
}

Answer 3

You need to keep heading in Array. So, you can avoid hardcoded in the delegate method.
NSArray *heading=#[#"Today",#"Yesterday",#"Tomorrow"];
- (NSString *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView titleForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section {
NSString *heading = [heading objectAtIndex:section]; //
return heading;
}

Answer 4

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, viewForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> UIView? {
var cstmView:UIView!
let lbl:UILabel
cstmView = UIView()
cstmView.frame = CGRectMake(0,0,tableView.contentSize.width,70.0)
let logo:UIImageView = UIImageView();
logo.image = UIImage(named: "logo_with_lightGrayColor")
logo.frame = CGRectMake(8.0,10.0,200.0,60.0)
lbl = UILabel()
lbl.frame = CGRectMake(8.0,80.0,200.0,20.0)
lbl.text = "USER NAME"
lbl.textColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
lbl.font = UIFont.systemFontOfSize(15.0)
cstmView .addSubview(logo)
cstmView.addSubview(lbl)
return cstmView;
}
You should implement custom header for tableview.
