Changing between UITableViewCells in UITableView - ios

Question

I am new to UITableViews, and I dont know very much about this topic.
I have two buttons in the same View, but not in the Table, for control the switch between the UITableViewCells, when one button is pressed then set a boolean for load the specific Cell.
If you click the button 1 then it shows the table with the CellType1.
If you click the button 2 then it shows the table with the CellType2.
My goal is use the same Table for this. But I dont know where to start.
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *simpleTableIdentifier = #"SimpleTableItem";
if (clickButton1 == true)
{
clickButton1 *cell = (clickButton1*)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:simpleTableIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
//cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:simpleTableIdentifier];
NSArray *nib = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:#"CellType1" owner:self options:nil];
cell = [nib objectAtIndex:0];
}
cell.name.text = #"Trial";
return cell;
}
else if (clickButton2 == true)
{
clickButton2 *cell = (clickButton2*)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:simpleTableIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
//cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:simpleTableIdentifier];
NSArray *nib = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:#"CellType2" owner:self options:nil];
cell = [nib objectAtIndex:0];
}
//cell.name.text = #"Trial";
return cell;
} else
I think that this code is not the best. But I am lost at this point.
Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

using a tutorial example like this...
//3</pre>
-(NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {
return [self.tweetsArray count];
}
//4
-(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
//5
static NSString *cellIdentifier = #"SettingsCell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
//6
NSString *tweet = [self.tweetsArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
//7
[cell.textLabel setText:tweet];
[cell.detailTextLabel setText:#"via Codigator"];
return cell;
}
if you have two arrays for items such as self.tweetArray1 and self.tweetArray2 you could change this code to
//3</pre>
-(NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {
int i = buttonNumberClicked;
return [self.tweetsArray[i] count];
}
//4
-(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath: (NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
//5
int i = buttonNumberClicked;
static NSString *cellIdentifier = #"SettingsCell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
//6
NSString *tweet = [self.tweetsArray[i] objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
//7
[cell.textLabel setText:tweet];
[cell.detailTextLabel setText:#"via Codigator"];
return cell;
}
and set up ibactions for your buttons to change the variable/int buttonNumberClicked to 1 or 2 depending on which was pressed and [tableView reloadData]; inside ibaction as well, hope this helps.
