The UIsearchBar does not automatically do a search on the tabelview content. You have to implement the UISearchbarDelegate methods to detect the entered text, then reload the table view and return values in the table view delegate methods according to the new array filtered with the search criteria.

I am very new to Objective.I am trying to make a simple application and after adding more view I get this error "Thread 1 Signal SIGABRT" and the app wont open in iOS Simulator. The error points to this line of code:

If you want more information just say it to me by answers and I will edit my question and then you will edit your answer
[keys allKeys] returns an single-level array. Therefore there can be only one section.
Edit:
For better understanding and readability I replaced names with letters and keys with propertyList
• .h
The methods numberOfRowsInSection and cellForRowAtIndexPath retrieve the section letter and then the appropriate keys from the property list.
A dictionary as data source is not the best choice because there are many repetitive tasks to perform for example the sorting. Better create an nested array as data source in viewDidLoad
#interface NamesTableViewController ()
#property (nonatomic, copy) NSDictionary *propertyList;
#property (nonatomic, copy) NSArray *letters;
#end
• .m
#implementation NamesTableViewController
#synthesize propertyList, letters;

Evening,
I am in the process of configuring my detail view. The data is held in a plist file, each item having a word and definition. The cells in the tableview are labelled with the word. I am looking for each word to lead to the detail view showing both word and definition.
At the moment the code is showing the wrong word. I have been trying to set word and definition in the tableview.m and then use these to set the label in detail view.
So my query is why the wrong word is showing and how I can grab the correct definition to match the word.
My code is below.
Thank you.

You need to use the same logic in prepareForSegue to get your word that you use in cellForRowAtIndexPath,
-(void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender{
if ([segue.identifier isEqualToString:#"showDetail"]) {
NSIndexPath *indexPath = [self.tableView indexPathForSelectedRow];
detailViewController *destViewController = segue.destinationViewController;
NSArray *unsortedKeys = [self.alphabetizedWords allKeys];
NSArray *sortedKeys = [unsortedKeys sortedArrayUsingSelector:#selector(localizedCaseInsensitiveCompare:)];
NSString *key = [sortedKeys objectAtIndex:[indexPath section]];
NSArray *wordsForSection = [self.alphabetizedWords objectForKey:key];
NSString *word = [wordsForSection objectAtIndex:[indexPath row]];
destViewController.word = word;
}
}
Having a dictionary called alphabetizedWords is pretty pointless, since dictionaries are inherently unordered. You should set up your data structure in an array. Perhaps you want an array of dictionaries, where each dictionary contains a word in one key and the definition in the other key. You can sort the array and use to feed the table view data source, and also to respond to a tap and pass the info to your detail view controller.
I found code examples online for creating a tableview with alphabetical sections and i have tried to adapt for my tableview.
However, now the simulator is returning a blank table.
I've obviously gone wrong, anyone mind pointing out the mistakes?
Every change I make doesn't help.
Thank you

There are a bunch of things that are not optimal with your code but what is causing the table to be blank is most likely that you are never populating sectionData and sectionName and so it returns a table with no section names or section data. Try this:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
NSArray *words = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"Tee", #"Club", #"Green", #"Putt", nil];
NSArray *sortedWords = [words sortedArrayUsingSelector:#selector(caseInsensitiveCompare:)];
NSString *currentLetter = #"";
for (NSString *string in sortedWords) {
if (string.length>0) {
NSString *letter = [string substringToIndex:1];
if (![letter isEqualToString:currentLetter]) {
[sectionNames addObject:letter];
currentLetter = letter;
NSMutableArray *oneSection = [NSMutableArray array];
[sectionData addObject:oneSection];
[[sectionData lastObject]addObject:string];
}
}
}

I am trying to sort my Facebook friends list in order to implement an indexed table view, exactly like the one found in Facebook Messenger.
I originally tried to use the UILocalizedIndexedCollation but I am stuck on the "collationStringSelector" because my dataSource array are id<"FBGraphUser"> objects and therefore have no properties I can use for the selector. Any ideas of how to implement this (it does not have to be using this method, I am open to anything!)?
-(NSArray *)partitionObjects:(NSArray *)array collationStringSelector:(SEL)selector {
UILocalizedIndexedCollation *collation = [UILocalizedIndexedCollation currentCollation];
NSInteger sectionCount = [[collation sectionTitles] count]; // section count is take from sectionTitles and not sectionIndexTitles
NSMutableArray *unsortedSections = [NSMutableArray arrayWithCapacity:sectionCount];
// create an array to hold the data for each section
for (int i = 0; i < sectionCount; i++) {
[unsortedSections addObject:[NSMutableArray array]];
}
// put each object into a section
for (id object in array) {
NSInteger index = [collation sectionForObject:object collationStringSelector:selector];
[[unsortedSections objectAtIndex:index] addObject:object];
}
NSMutableArray *sections = [NSMutableArray arrayWithCapacity:sectionCount];
// sort each section
for (NSMutableArray *section in unsortedSections) {
[sections addObject:[collation sortedArrayFromArray:section collationStringSelector:selector]];
}
return sections;
}
Here is a subclass of UITableViewController that I created some time ago to make an indexed table view. I use this as a base class for the controller whose table view appears on screen, so it's intended to be a reusable class that does the hard work of creating the table. You might be able to use it as is, but I didn't try to make it too universal. I pass in a simple array of custom objects (my objects just had first and last names), and this class creates the sections and the index. So here's the code,
the .h
#interface RDIndexedTableController : UITableViewController
#property (strong,nonatomic) NSArray *inputArray;
#property (strong,nonatomic) NSString *sectionKey;
#property (strong,nonatomic) NSString *secondarySortKey;

-(void)convertArray:(NSArray *)input usingSectionKey:(NSString *)key secondarySortKey:(NSString *)sorter;

#end

NSMutableArray *array = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
[newSectionsArray addObject:array];
}
for (id obj in self.inputArray) {
NSInteger sectionNumber = [self.collation.sectionTitles indexOfObject:[[obj valueForKey:self.sectionKey] substringToIndex:1]];
NSMutableArray *sectionForObjects = [newSectionsArray objectAtIndex:sectionNumber];
[sectionForObjects addObject:obj];
}
for (int index = 0; index < sectionTitlesCount; index++) {
NSMutableArray *objectArrayForSection = [newSectionsArray objectAtIndex:index];

NSArray *sortedObjectArrayForSection = [self.collation sortedArrayFromArray:firstSortedObjectArrayForSection collationStringSelector:NSSelectorFromString(self.sectionKey)];

In the table view controller that appears in the app, I only need this small amount of code to populate the table,
-(void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
[self.tableView registerClass:[UITableViewCell class] forCellReuseIdentifier:#"Cell"];
NSMutableArray *mut = [NSMutableArray new];
// create the Person objects and add them to the array here
[self convertArray:mut usingSectionKey:#"lastName" secondarySortKey:#"firstName"];
[self.tableView reloadData];
}
-(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"Cell" forIndexPath:indexPath];
NSString *first = [self.sectionsArray[indexPath.section][indexPath.row] valueForKey:#"firstName"];
NSString *last = [self.sectionsArray[indexPath.section][indexPath.row] valueForKey:#"lastName"];
cell.textLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%# %#",first,last];
return cell;
}
I created a table with sections. Each section has a date (2014-03-23) as a title and under each date I want to populate a list of games to be played that day. When I run the app the table gets the section title fine (date of game), but every section has the same matches list. I want to have the games match under the section date.
I know i need to include indexPath.section in the CellForRowsAtIndexPath but I'm having a hard time figuring it out.
Here's my code:
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
return gamesArray.count;
}
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
uniqueArray = [[NSOrderedSet orderedSetWithArray:dateSection] array];
return [uniqueArray count];
}
-(NSString *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView titleForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
return [self.dateSection objectAtIndex:section];
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
//NSString *CellIdentifier = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"games cell-%ld-%ld", (long)indexPath.section, (long)indexPath.row];
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"games cell";
//NSString *CellIdentifier = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"cell-%d-%d", indexPath.section, indexPath.row];
CustomInboxCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = (CustomInboxCell *)[[CustomInboxCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
}
PFObject *post = [gamesArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
[cell.teamsLabel setText:[post objectForKey:#"teams"]];
[cell.liveRepeatLabel setText:[post objectForKey:#"liveRepeat"]];
[cell.gameTimeLabel setText:[post objectForKey:#"gameTime"]];
return cell;
}
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
//======================================================
//I decided to use a predicate to filter and get the number of items per date(Number of games per date)
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
NSString *sectionTitle = [uniqueArray objectAtIndex:section];
if (section >=0) {
NSPredicate *predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:#"gameDate == %#",sectionTitle];
NSLog(#"section name = %#", sectionTitle);
NSArray *filtered = [gamesArray filteredArrayUsingPredicate:predicate];
NSLog(#"filtered = %#",filtered);
return filtered.count;
}
return 0;
}
//I just need to iterate through every date and return the number of games per date. Any suggestions?
You need a separate array for each section of the table. In numberOfRowsForSection, you need to return a count for the array that corresponds to the given section.
Here's an example. The data for the table is stored in an NSArray called tableData. The array has one entry for each section of the table. Each entry in tableData is an NSDictionary. The NSDictionary has two keys, title and items. The title key corresponds to an NSString that serves as the title for the table section. The items key corresponds to an NSArray that has the row information for the table section.
The table is organized into two sections like this
Fruits
Apples
Oranges
Animals
Dog
Cat
Horse
Cow
Here's the code
#import "MainViewController.h"
#interface MainViewController () <UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate>
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITableView *tableView;
#property (strong, nonatomic) NSArray *tableData;
#end
#implementation MainViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
self.tableView.dataSource = self;
self.tableView.delegate = self;
NSDictionary *fruits, *animals;
fruits = #{ #"title" : #"Fruits" , #"items" : #[#"Apples", #"Oranges"] };
animals = #{ #"title" : #"Animals", #"items" : #[#"Dog", #"Cat", #"Horse", #"Cow"] };
self.tableData = #[fruits, animals];
}
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
return( self.tableData.count );
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
NSDictionary *sectionData = self.tableData[section];
NSArray *items = sectionData[#"items"];
return( items.count );
}
- (NSString *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView titleForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
NSDictionary *sectionData = self.tableData[section];
NSString *title = sectionData[#"title"];
return( title );
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"SomeCell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
NSDictionary *sectionData = self.tableData[indexPath.section];
NSArray *items = sectionData[#"items"];
NSString *name = items[indexPath.row];
cell.textLabel.text = name;
return cell;
}
#end
This is a data set problem, you need to have a separate dataset prepared for each section of your tableview and iterate them using the index path (row, section) properties in your cellForRowAtIndexPath method. If you can do NSLog and share your dataset, it would be more helpful to answer accurately. Hope this helps.
