Question

I am trying to recreate the a section of a UITableView that looks like the first section under the Me tab in the Twitter app for the iPhone. I am having trouble creating a UITableViewCell with views underneath it (like Tweets, Following, and Followers) that a user can tap to show another view. Any help or insight into how to achieve this would be great. Thanks.

Answer 1

Make an object subclass of UITableViewCell, and then add whatever UI elements you want to the view.

If the custom cell is supposed to contain certain data, make each variable a property so that it can be easily set from within the UITableViewDatasource.

Do this my creating a new file, and making it a subclass of UITableViewCell. I personally don’t use interface builder at all, so if you want to code it manually, replace the initWithNib function with this one:

- (id)initWithStyle:(UITableViewCellStyle)style reuseIdentifier:(NSString *)reuseIdentifier{
self = [super initWithStyle:style reuseIdentifier:reuseIdentifier];
if(self){
    //Add custom views here
}
