Answer 1

You can create two sections for each of the Contact list:

- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView {
    return 2;
}

Then you can give a header Title for each section:

- (NSString *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView titleForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section {
    if (section == 0) {
        return @"G"; // For Gmail
    } else
        return @"F"; // For facebook }

And then according to the section number, you can implement your cellForRowAtIndexPath by creating a separate arrays for both the kinds of contacts.

All the best!!!
