Question

heres my issue, I have a tabbar as the root controller, I then have tabs which are navigation controllers. ( all this is done in Interface Builder )

each navigation controller has a view controller. one of these view controllers have a table view.

on the navigation controller of this table view, I want a item button which reloads the table view.

i know to use reloadData.

I have linked the item button up to a IBAction in the view controller of the navigation controller by making a new NSObject in the mainWindow.xib pointing to this view controller. in the view controller I have this IBAction

-(IBAction)reloadTable:(id)sender

{
NSLog(@”RELOADDDDING”);
[self.tableViewIB reloadData];
}

The NSlog is displayed, but the table is not reloading.

I have tried with and without the self.

Answer 1

I had the exact same setup with the exact same issue. Below is how I fixed it. Put this code in the view controller with the Table.

- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {


    //reload table now that we have a good array to show
    [self.view reloadData];
    [super viewWillAppear:animated];
}

Updated in response to your comment

Add this code to the action of your button being pushed

//button was pushed code
TableViewController * vc = (TableViewController *)[[TableViewController alloc] init];
//this tableview should be named whatever you have your table named as.
[vc.tableView reloadData];
[vc release];
