How to create dynamic UITableView cells using iPhone SDK - ios

Question

In my app, I have UITableView in which first cell & last three cell's contents are fixed. But in between those cell's contents are different as per array count & content.
E.g: 1st cell+ array count + last three cells.
The array count different all times.
How can make the table view as I explaining above.

Answer 1

//Working code for 1st cell+[dynamic array]+last three Fixed cells
#import "tableTOViewController.h"
#interface tableTOViewController ()
#end
#implementation tableTOViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
myArray=[[NSArray alloc] init];
myArray=[NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"Aman",#"Atul",#"Karan",#"Yen",#"Chan",#"Lee", nil];
lastFixedArray=[[NSArray alloc] init];
lastFixedArray=[NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"Snakes",#"Food",#"Drink", nil];
tblView.delegate=self;
tblView.dataSource=self;
[super viewDidLoad];
}
- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
{
[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
return [myArray count]+4;
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *cellIdentifier=#"cellIdentifier";
UITableViewCell *cell=[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
if (cell==nil) {
cell=[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
}
if (indexPath.row==0)
cell.textLabel.text=#"First Cell";
else if (indexPath.row>[myArray count])
cell.textLabel.text=[lastFixedArray objectAtIndex:([indexPath row]-[myArray count]-1)];
else
cell.textLabel.text=[myArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row-1];
return cell;
}
#end

Answer 2

If you want to add subviews to last three cells then you can use following condition
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *cellIdentifier=#"cellIdentifier";
UITableViewCell *cell=[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
if (cell==nil) {
cell=[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
}
if (indexPath.row==0)
cell.textLabel.text=#"First Cell";
else if (indexPath.row>[myArray count])
{
int k=([indexPath row]-[myArray count]-1);
switch (k) {
case 0:
[cell.contentView addSubview:thirdLastView];
break;
case 1:
[cell.contentView addSubview:secondLastView];
break;
case 2:
[cell.contentView addSubview:lastView];
break;
}
cell.textLabel.text=[lastFixedArray objectAtIndex:k];
}
else
cell.textLabel.text=[myArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row-1];
return cell;
}

Answer 3

In your numberOfRows method, return value as
4 + [array count];
In cellForRowAtIndexPath do a switch on indexPath.row and accordingly fill your cell contents.
