Question

I currently have an app which reads a line from a webpage which looks like:

1/2/3/4/5/

And then it outputs each number in a table in five cells.

However, I would like to output some extra info along with the numbers, so that my table cells have a title and a subtile.

Title: 1
Subtitle: Number one
Title: 2
Subtile: Number two

etc.

But I don’t quite know where to store the subtitle text – do I need to read a new line from the webpage, or is it possible to store both title and subtitle in the same line, like say:

1, Number one/2, Number two/3, Number three/

And then tell the app to use the first item as title and the second as subtitle?

Answer 1

In cellForRowAtIndexPath, when you create a new cell, define the detailText of that cell as Subtitle: Number one and also make changes to the cell Style as below:

if (cell == nil) {
    cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
}

Whenever you create a cell for Title:1 you just need to define the detailText.text property for the cell value. If UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle this does not works then try using different style of the UITableViewCell.
