I have an application (Navigation Controller) in which the second controller is a Table View Controller. I am able to send my required data through the segue, but unable to update the entries in the tableview programmatically.
I'm new to IOS.
This is my header file
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#interface HCIResultListViewController : UITableViewController
#property (strong,nonatomic) NSMutableDictionary *resultList;
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITableView *tableListView;
#end
This is my implementation file.
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
#warning Potentially incomplete method implementation.
// Return the number of sections.
return 0;
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
#warning Incomplete method implementation.
// Return the number of rows in the section.
return 0;
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"HelloCell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil){
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
}
cell.textLabel.text = #"Hello";
// Configure the cell...
return cell;
}
Can anyone tell me how to work with tableview & Controllers?
I did go through several documentation and examples but really couldnt understand
You need to specify the rows and section count for the table view. like this.
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
#warning Potentially incomplete method implementation.
// Return the number of sections.
return 1;
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
#warning Incomplete method implementation.
// Return the number of rows in the section.
return [sourceData Count]//i.e., 10;
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"HelloCell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil){
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
}
cell.textLabel.text = #"Hello";
// Configure the cell...
return cell;
}
What would you expect in your UITableView if you set the numberOfRowsInSection to 0?
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
#warning Incomplete method implementation.
// Return the number of rows in the section.
return 0; // it should be size of your Array or List
}
You should change the number of rows to the Array size or whatever data you are populating within the UITableView
you need to return at least 1 to be able to see some data
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
Number of sections of tableView is 0! make it 1
It may help you
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
return 1;
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
#warning Incomplete method implementation.
// Return the number of rows in the section.
return 4;
}
replace your method this :
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
#warning Potentially incomplete method implementation.
return 1;
}
That ist exactly what Apple's template meant by stating:
#warning Potentially incomplete method implementation.
You need to return appropriate values there.
Return 1 from numberOfSectionsInTableView if you just have 1 section (that ist the normal case I would say).
And return the number of rows that you want to be filled from numberOfRowsInSection. That may well be the count of an array or the number of fetched data sets or some hard coded value/constant value if it is not dynamic.
cellForRowAtIndexPath will then be called as maximum for each row/section combination that is possible but only for those cells that are visible from start or are about so be scrolled into visible areas.
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
//warning Incomplete method implementation.
// Return the number of rows in the section.
//
return 1;
}
As per this Datasource Method say that as number row require and you have to return 0 so not generate any row so also not generate cell so as per our requirement static otherwise dynamic generate the row at least 1 row return.

I have a tableViewController, and under that i want one static cell and rest of all will be dynamic cells . I have already run for dynamic cells , but within same tableViewController i also need to add one static cell, how can i achieve it?
Please Help
Thanks in advance.
you could do something like the following:
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {
return self.dynamicContent.count + 1; // +1 for the static cell at the beginning
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
if (indexPath.row == 0) {
// static cell
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"StaticCellIdentifier" forIndexPath:indexPath];
// customization
return cell;
}
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"DynamicCellIdentifier" forIndexPath:indexPath];
id contentObject = self.dynamicContent[indexPath.row];
// customization
return cell;
}
You cannot create static and dynamic cell at same time in a UITableViewController.
But you can hard code your static cell's data and load the data each time you reload your tableview.
You can keep all your cells in one section and keep checking for index path.row == 0 or create separate sections for them.
typedef NS_ENUM(NSUInteger, TableViewSectionType) {
TableViewSectionType_Static,
TableViewSectionType_Dynamic
}
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
return 2; // One for static cell, and another for dynamic cells
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView
numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
switch(section) {
case TableViewSectionType_Static:
return 1; // Always return '1' to show the static cell at all times.
case TableViewSectionType_Dynamic:
return [myDynamicData count];
}
}
With this approach your cells will be split into two sections and it will be easier to manage. And it will always show one cell, as number of rows returned for TableViewSectionType_Static is 1 always. It will show the dynamic cells based on your data count.
I am creating an app where users can store an object in Core Data. I have the Objects being pulled into a UITableView and everything is working correctly there. I now want to separate the objects into a possible of 1-3 different sections based on choices in a UISegmentedControl.
Currently I have this to create the 1 section and populate the cells of that section with my objects
#pragma mark - Table view data source
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
// Return the number of sections.
return 1;
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
// Return the number of rows in the section.
return self.fetchedDiscs.count;
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"DiscCell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];
//Configure Cell
Disc *currentDisc = [self.fetchedDiscs objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.textLabel.text = currentDisc.name;
cell.detailTextLabel.text = currentDisc.brand;
return cell;
}
So the main question is how to dynamically change the number of sections and number of rows in section?
The Segmented control returns values such as Option 1, Option 2, Option 3. The only way I can think of is to loop through my fetchedDiscs array and separate that into an array for each section. Then I can return the number of arrays if they exists and I can get the count of each array to get the number of rows in each section. But then I get to the problem of How to get the CellForRowAtIndextPath to work correctly with three arrays.
Basically there has to be a better more logical way to do this. I am just not sure how.
Let, you have a dictionary named dataSource that contains 'x' number of array as value for key "key1", "key2", .. "keyX". You can do this:
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
return [[dataSource allKeys] count];
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
//Get the array object form key. I am considering 'keySection' as an example
return [[dataSource objectForKey:#"keySection"] count];
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"DiscCell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];
cell.textLabel.text = [[dataSource objectForKey:keySection] objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]
return cell;
}
Note: I wrote the code in this editor, excuse any mistakes, I just tried to share the idea. Hope this helps.. :)
I've seen a number of people who have asked a similar thing, but answers to their questions are not the answers to mine.
1) I have created a single view application with an empty View Controller. In that, I dragged a new Table View (style Plain) with a single prototype cell of style Basic.
2) I am trying to learn about dynamically changing the behaviour of TableViews, so I have a mutable array called sectionRows, which will contain the number of rows per section. At the moment, a single section with a number of rows would be an achievement :)
3) In my ViewController.h I have set the delegates
#interface ViewController : UIViewController <UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate>
#end
I have also control-dragged from the TableView to the ViewController Yellow-Circle and set the datasource and delegate outlets.
4) In my ViewController.m, I have defined some global variables
#interface ViewController ()
{
NSMutableArray *sectionRows;
UITableView *myTableView;
}
The first is my data array (containing the number of rows per section and the second is a pointer to my TableView, which I have identified using a numeric View tag of '1'.
5) In my viewDidLoad, I initialize everything:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
myTableView = (UITableView *)[self.view viewWithTag:1];
sectionRows = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init]; // Create sectionarray
[sectionRows addObject:[NSNumber numberWithInteger:1]];
myTableView.dataSource = self;
myTableView.delegate = self;
[myTableView reloadData];
}
As you can see, I even make sure that I set the datasource and delegate again but this hasn't made any difference.
5) I have overloaded 3 methods.
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {
NSLog(#"Returning %# rows", [sectionRows objectAtIndex:section]);
return (NSInteger)[sectionRows objectAtIndex:section]; // the number referenced in the array...
}
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView {
NSLog(#"Returning %li sections", sectionRows.count);
return sectionRows.count; // the size of the sectionRows array
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = (UITableViewCell *)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
// Configure the cell...
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
}
cell.textLabel.text = #"xxx";
NSLog(#"Setting cell to %#", cell);
return cell;
}
Now, when I run this, I am getting NSLog returning confirmation that there is a single section and a single row:
2014-07-27 19:58:34.599 TableViewTests[12877:60b] Returning 1 sections
2014-07-27 19:58:34.600 TableViewTests[12877:60b] Returning 1 rows
However, as you can see cellForRowAtIndexPath is not being called.
None of the other things I have seen point to what I am doing wrong. I am doing what I thought I did successfully in another simple project (to learn) but I must be doing something else differently.
Any ideas what I am missing?
Thanks in advance

- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {
NSLog(#"Returning %# rows", [sectionRows objectAtIndex:section]);
return (NSInteger)[sectionRows objectAtIndex:section]; // the number referenced in the array...
}
This is incorrect. You cannot cast what you get from your array to an NSInteger. It's a pointer. Assuming you store NSNumbers into the array:
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {
NSLog(#"Returning %# rows", [sectionRows objectAtIndex:section]);
return [[sectionRows objectAtIndex:section] integerValue]; // the number referenced in the array...
}
I've got a problem with my cells in my table view controller.
I've created a table view controller with some cells that the user is able to edit but this cells doesn't display...
Here my code for the view controller :
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
// Return the number of sections.
return 0;
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
// Return the number of rows in the section.
return 0;
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];
// Configure the cell...
return cell;
}
And the header :
#interface AircraftDetailsViewController : UITableViewController
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextField *AircraftNameLabel;
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextField *AircraftImmatLabel;
If someone could help me... I don't understand why it is empty...
I've forgotten to add that my cells are "Static cells".
EDIT : Problem sovlved. I just comment these line :
//- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
//{
//
// // Return the number of sections.
// return 0;
//}
//
//- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
//{
//
// // Return the number of rows in the section.
// return 0;
//}
//
//- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
//{
// static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
// UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];
//
// // Configure the cell...
//
// return cell;
//}
Now it works.
If you have static tableviews in the storyboard, don't implement any datasource methods. UITableViewController has its own implementation of these which you have overridden in your code above. If you do override the methods, you must call the super implementation, to get the value of your static cells, and then modify as you see fit.
Even if you weren't using static cells, you still wouldn't see anything, because you've told your table view that there are no sections and no rows in the table.
For starters you are returning 0 sections and 0 rows so nothing will be displayed. You should return values > 0 according to your data layout.
After you fix that make sure that "Cell" identifier is defined in IB (In the Cell's properties pane although I believe it's the default name and should be there already).
In your code you specify table have no cells at all.
Return other then 0 value in number* functions
You forgot to declare protocols in .h file. Change this #interface AircraftDetailsViewController : UITableViewController to #interface AircraftDetailsViewController : UITableViewController<UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate> And you are returning 0 in datasource method which is wrong.
The sections and rows must be a non zero value
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
// Return the number of sections.
return 1;
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
// Return the number of rows in the section.
return 10;
}
So delete above code and set controller as table data source and table delegate in interface builder with ctrl+drag from tableview to controller. For static cells it's enough.
You told number section and row as zero to tableview via delegate methods. So It shows nothing. According to this, your cellForRowAtIndexPath: never getting called.
My code is a little different to others, but it works.
I am new to app coding, but I would like to add some of
these into sections:
So some of them have their own group with a small title to each.
But my code looks like this:
and I don't know what to insert to do it right.
(The bottom half of that picture is the pictures in the detail view, that shows up in the detail view when you select something from the table view.)
(I know Xcode shows errors in my code, but it still works. )
Can anyone help me?
You have to implement some UITableView methods and delegate methods (and of course set your class as the delegate of the class) :
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView {
//Here you must return the number of sectiosn you want
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {
//Here, for each section, you must return the number of rows it will contain
}
- (NSString *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView titleForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section {
//For each section, you must return here it's label
if(section == 0) return #"header 1";
.....
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
}
// Set up the cell...
cell.text = // some to display in the cell represented by indexPath.section and indexPath.row;
return cell;
}
With that, you can arrange your data as you want : One array for each section, one big array with sub arrays, ... as you want. Antthing will be ok as far as you can return the wanted values from the methods above.
