Question

i am having dynamically created UITableView. I want to add 3 dummy row when the table view have ben populated from array.

My scenario is that when there is sufficient data in the UITableView, then at the bottom of uitable dummy rows with blank text.

In this way even if there is 40 records, by scrolling up the last two rows will be visible.
suppose my array count is 14 (which is dynamic/not always 14) then how do i add three blank row in index path 14,15,16 and setting their text as:

cell.textlabel.text=@"";

You can do like this.

retune no of row like this below.

- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section { 
return [array count]+2; 
}

After that manage this in cellRowAtindexPath method like shown in below:

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";

UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];

[cell setSelectionStyle:UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone];
[tableView setPagingEnabled:NO];
//[tableView setSeparatorColor:[UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"longDotedLine.png"]]];

  if (indexPath.row < [array count]) {
      cell.textLabel.text = @"Test Data";
  } else {
      cell.textLabel.text = @"";
  }


return cell;

}

Try this may be this help you.
