Question

I am new to IOS development. I am stuck at a place where I want to display something in a table view controller. In the first row I have this name called “All Fences” and for the rest of the rows below that, I have an array which contains all the other names.

Here’s what I am doing:

-(void) viewDidLoad{
[super viewDidLoad];
array=[[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
[array addObject:@"All Fences"];
[self fetchOtherArray];
}
-(void) fetchOtherArray{
// I have array2 here
}

Can you tell me how to get everything displayed .

Thanks

Answer 1

Provided that array has one string and that you have defined array2 in your header file, do this

- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section 
{        
     return  [array2 count]+1;
}

Use this checking inside cellForRowAtIndexPath:

if(indexPath.row=0){
 // set name "All Fences"
  cell.textLabel.text=[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",[array objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]];
}
else{
  // set from another array
   cell.textLabel.text=[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",[array2 objectAtIndex:indexPath.row-1]];
}
