Connecting iOS App to a database into Label - ios

Question

I want to connect an my app to the database and display it in a Label.
I could connect my app to the database and display it in the UITableView.
This is what I have so far:
Viewontroller.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#interface CartHistoryViewController : UITableViewController
{
NSMutableArray *arrayDataFromServer;
}
#end
ViewController.m
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
NSString *strURL = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"http://localhost:8888/CartGet.php? choice=history"];
NSArray *arrayImagesNames = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:strURL]];
strURL = #"http://localhost:8888/CartGet.php?choice=historydate";
NSArray *arrayImagesPaths = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:strURL]];
// store the result in arrayDataFromServer
arrayDataFromServer = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
NSEnumerator *enumForNames = [arrayImagesNames objectEnumerator];
NSEnumerator *enumForPahts = [arrayImagesPaths objectEnumerator];
id objName, objPath;
while ( objName = [enumForNames nextObject]) {
objPath = [enumForPahts nextObject];
[arrayDataFromServer addObject:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:objName, #"name", objPath, #"path", nil]];
}
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
}
cell.textLabel.text = [[arrayDataFromServer objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] objectForKey:#"name"];
[cell.textLabel setFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:20]];
cell.detailTextLabel.text = [[arrayDataFromServer objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] objectForKey:#"path"];
[cell setAccessoryType:UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator];
[cell setSelectionStyle:UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone];
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",[[arrayDataFromServer objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] objectForKey:#"path"]]];
NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:url];
UIImage *img = [UIImage imageWithData:data];
cell.imageView.image = img;
return cell;
}
I want to be able to display it in a Label and in an ImageView instead of a cell. Please help.

Go to your Interface Builder choose your table view and make it Grouped TableView
add below code before your - (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath method
#pragma mark - Table view data source
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
return [arrayDataFromServer count];
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
return 0;
}
// set header height of gropued tableview
-(CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView*)tableView heightForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
return 120;//change this value if it is too big
}
//set header section labels
- (UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
NSString * subject=[[arrayDataFromServer objectAtIndex:section] objectForKey:#"name"];//this line may give you error because of section easy to correct
UILabel *subjectLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(45, 30, 100, 100)];
subjectLabel.textColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0/256.0 green:84/256.0 blue:129/256.0 alpha:1.0];
subjectLabel.font = [UIFont fontWithName:#"Arial" size:25];
subjectLabel.text = subject;
subjectLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
[subjectLabel sizeToFit];
// if you want to add image view create an imageview programatically here
// NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",[[arrayDataFromServer objectAtIndex:section] objectForKey:#"path"]]];
//NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:url];
//UIImage *img = [UIImage imageWithData:data];
// UIImageView *brickAnim = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:img];
// Create header view and add label as a subview choose coordinates wisely
UIView *view = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(100, 120, 100, G00)];
[view addSubview:subjectLabel];
//[view addSubview:brickAnim];
return view;
}
