titleForHeaderSection from NSTableViewCell - ios

Question

How can I retrieve the current header section name from an NSTableViewCell item?
Currently I have a method called configureCell which determines how to style the custom cell I have. This data comes from a pList file.
-(void)configureCell:(UITableViewCell *)tableViewCell forIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
UILabel *label;
UIView *backView;
// NSString *country = [self tableView: tableViewCell titleForHeaderInSection:indexPath.section];
NSString *fatPercent = [[self.milkTypes valueForKey:#"Finland"] objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
label = (UILabel *)[tableViewCell viewWithTag:1];
label.text = #"Fat Percent test";
backView = (UIView *)[tableViewCell viewWithTag:2];
backView.backgroundColor = [self colorWithHexString: fatPercent];
}
Where I've commented out the line for *country I need to retrieve the current section I'm in. Currently it's statically set to Finland which is the array name from the pList.
For a better understanding on how my code is laid out, here is the majority of the Table Controller.
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView {
return [self.milkTypes count];
}
- (NSString *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView titleForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section {
return [[self.milkTypes allKeys] objectAtIndex:section];
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {
NSString *country = [self tableView:tableView titleForHeaderInSection:section];
return [[self.milkTypes valueForKey:country] count];
}
-(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
NSString *cellIdentifier;
UITableViewCell *cell;
cellIdentifier = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"MilkCell"];
cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
if (cell==nil) {
cell = [self tableViewCellWithReuseIdentifier:cellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];
}
[self configureCell:cell forIndexPath:indexPath];
cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone;
return cell;
}
-(UITableViewCell *)tableViewCellWithReuseIdentifier:(NSString *)identifier forIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
CGRect rect;
UILabel *label;
UIView *backView;
UITableViewCell *cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:identifier] autorelease];
float center = (float) (40-20)/2;
rect = CGRectMake(15, center, 270, 20);
label = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:rect];
label.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleRightMargin | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth;
label.tag = 1;
label.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
label.textColor = [UIColor blackColor];
[cell.contentView addSubview:label];
[label release];
rect = CGRectMake(280, 10, 20, 40-20);
backView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:rect];
backView.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleLeftMargin | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth;
backView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
backView.tag = 2;
[cell.contentView addSubview:backView];
[backView release];
return cell;
}
-(void)configureCell:(UITableViewCell *)tableViewCell forIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
UILabel *label;
UIView *backView;
// NSString *country = [self tableView: tableViewCell titleForHeaderInSection:indexPath.section];
NSString *fatPercent = [[self.milkTypes valueForKey:#"Sweden"] objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
label = (UILabel *)[tableViewCell viewWithTag:1];
label.text = #"Fat Percent test";
backView = (UIView *)[tableViewCell viewWithTag:2];
backView.backgroundColor = [self colorWithHexString: fatPercent];
}

It seems you already have it anyway, in [[self.milkTypes allKeys] objectAtIndex:section] - just use that instead, so
NSString *country = [[self.milkTypes allKeys] objectAtIndex: indexPath.section];
