Question

I am creating an email signature, i have made two view’s till now “ViewController and “ListView” coding is like this

ViewController.h

 #import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
 #import "ListView.h"
 #import "sqlite3.h"

@interface ViewController:UIViewController<UITextViewDelegate,UIImagePickerControllerDelegate>
 {
UIImageView *imageView;
UIImage *signimage;

UITextView *textView; // UITextView *scontent;
 // IBOutlet UIScrollView *scrollview;
 // BOOL keyboardIsShown;
  //IBOutlet UITextField *recordTextField;

sqlite3 *Dummy2;
 }
 @property(nonatomic,retain) IBOutlet UIImageView *imageView;

Database “Dummy2.sql” is like this

PROFILE = table
id = field = INTEGER PRIMARY KEY
sname = field = TEXT
scontent = field = TEXT
simage = field = BLOB

Schema 
CREATE TABLE PROFILE(id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, sname TEXT, scontent TEXT, simage BLOB)

This is what i have done so far, what should i code in didselectrowAtIndexpath so that when i select any name from table it should appear in textview in “ListView.xib” … any help also i am not able to save the image in DB i have to show the image also according to the name selected from tableView in “ListView.xib” so that in bottom section i can see the image and content of that name in UIimage and in textview field .. any idea ??

Answer 1

If you want to pass the name to ListView just use the code below:

Create a object class for holding all data about a person like.

@interface Person

@property (nonatomic, retain) NSString *name;
@property (nonatomic, retain) NSString *content;
@property (nonatomic, assign) int profileId;

@end

@implementation Person

@synthesize name,content;
@synthesize profileId;

@end

change the data fetching method like:

Person *person = nil;
NSString *updateSQL = @"SELECT * FROM PROFILE";

const char *update_stmt = [updateSQL UTF8String];

sqlite3_prepare_v2(Dummy2, update_stmt, -1, &statement, NULL);
while(sqlite3_step(statement) == SQLITE_ROW) {
      person = [[Person alloc] init];
      [person setProfileId:(int)sqlite3_column_int(statement, 0)];
      [person setName:[NSString stringWithUTF8String:(char *)sqlite3_column_text(statement, 1)];
      [person setContent:[NSString stringWithUTF8String:(char *)sqlite3_column_text(statement, 2)];
      [hello addObject:person];
}

in the tableView class

Change the cellForRowAtIndexPath like:

Person *cellvalue = [arr objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.textLabel.text=cellvalue.name;

And the didSelectRowAtIndexPath like:

-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
 {
    Person *selected = [arr objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
    txtView.txt =  selected.content
 }

1 Suggestion.

Don’t save image on database, it’ll make your database too heavy and database operations too slow.

1 alternative is to save image to document directory and save the path to database.
