Question

I am trying to build a screen like this:

I’ve already built the navigationItem (the “title Bar”) and the table view, now I’m looking for a way to add the buttons under the table view.

The result should look similar to a tab bar, but as the buttons are used to influence the the number of displayed records in the table, I’m only dealing with one controller.

How do I achieve what I’m looking for?

Answer 1

I can think of two ways off the top of my head you could accomplish something like this.

1. You could create a UISegmentedControl and place it in your tableview’s tableFooterView property. The buttons would only be visible underneath the tableview and would scroll with the table.
2. You could create a UIToolbar, or ideally display the toolbar you get for free with the navigation controller, and place a UISegmentedControl there. This way the buttons would always be visible regardless of where the user has scrolled to.

Hope this gets you started.
