[records addObject:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:
                            [TBXML textForElement:visitor],
                            [TBXML textForElement:uniqueVisitor],
                            [TBXML textForElement:order],
                            [TBXML textForElement:revenue],
                            [TBXML textForElement:conversionRate],
                            [TBXML textForElement:newProduct],
                            [TBXML textForElement:outOfStockProduct],
                            [TBXML textForElement:productInCart],
                            [TBXML textForElement:visitorInc],
                            [TBXML textForElement:uniqueVisitorInc],
                            [TBXML textForElement:orderInc],
                            [TBXML textForElement:revenueInc],
                            [TBXML textForElement:conversionRateInc],
                            [TBXML textForElement:newProductInc],
                            [TBXML textForElement:outOfStockProductInc],
                            [TBXML textForElement:productInCartInc],nil]]; 

now i want to display each attribute value one bye one in every cell of the uitableview.but i do not know what will be the number of rows in a section method.please any body help me.i am giving the sample code….

    - (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:    (NSInteger)section{
    NSLog(@"The number of row in the object array:  %d ",[records count]);
return [records count];
    }

tableview method is here…now tell me what will be the return type for displaying all the attribute value one bye one in every cell.

Thanks in Advance.

You could create a label for each field and add it to the cell in cellForRowAtIndexPath, the outline being :

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

cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];

// THIS CREATES THE CELL
NSInteger index = (page-1)*pagesize + indexPath.row;
NSDictionary* dataAtIndex = [records getDataAtIndex:index];
if (cell == nil) {
    cell = [[[myTableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault
                                   reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];

    int x = 0;
    int cellsize = 50;
    int padding = 1;
    int nbxmlrecords = [[records objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] count];

    for (int idx = 0 ; idx < nbxmlrecords; idx++)
    {
            UILabel* aLabel = [[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(x, 0.0,
                                                                         cellsize, cell.contentView.frame.size.height)] autorelease];
            x = x + cellsize + padding;

            aLabel.tag = idx;
            aLabel.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:10.0];
            aLabel.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentLeft;
            aLabel.textColor = [UIColor blackColor];
            aLabel.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight;
            aLabel.opaque = true;

            [cell.contentView addSubview:aLabel];
    }
}

// THIS FILLS THE DATA IN THE CELL
for (int idx = 0 ; idx < nbxmlrecords; idx++)
{
        NSString* value = [[records objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] objectAtIndex:idx];
        UILabel* aLabel = (UILabel *)[cell.contentView viewWithTag:idx];
        aLabel.text = value;
}

...

Of course you’ll need to work the size for each field and the total length in the screen.
