Question

I am creating a uitableview that has two sections, section == 0 has 5 rows, and section == 1 has 1 row.

I have also declared several functions in an objective-c class that I would like to hook into each of the five rows. However I am not sure how to implement this.

I am thinking it is something like

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";

    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
    if (cell == nil) {
        cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
    }

    // Configure the cell...
    cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone;

//---------- In here put a bunch of IF statments, declaring each cell? and linking it to
//---------- the function I have declared in the objective-c class

    return cell;
}

Usually the cells are setup in tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath:. Determining the function that’s called when a cell is tapped is usually done in tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexPath.

When setting up the cell in tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath: you can specify the section and row using indexPath like this:

if(indexPath.section == 0){

    if(indexPath.row == 0){

        // setup this cell...

    }else if(indexPath.row == 1){

    }// ...

}else if(indexPath.section == 1){

    if(indexPath.row == 0){

    }else if(indexPath.row == 1){

    }// ...
}

Do something similar in tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexPath when determining which function is called when the user taps each cell. The relevant documentation from Apple can be found here.
