Question

I have a UITableView which has master records in it’s cell. When the user selects a cell, some detail record is displayed on the same table and this record would be set below that particular cell.
One more thing is the cells that are below the selected cell of the master table will be displayed below the detail view.

In short I want to design a popup that will display the details of selected cell below that particular cell and rest of the cells(cells below the selected cell) of master will be moved down, so that the detail popup can be accomodated between the selected cell and the cells below it.

Answer 1

//Take int selectedCellIndex in your .h file, initialize selectedIndex with -1
//Take BOOL isSelected in your .h file

-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath 
{
  selectedCellIndex = indexPath.row;
  isSelected = YES; 
  [yourTable reloadData];
}

- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath 
{
      if(indexPath.row==selectedCellIndex)
      {
           return 100;
      }
      return 50; //Your default cell size
}


- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tV cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    //after creating your cell

    if(isSelected && selectedIndex>-1)
    {
        //Show your custom View , something like [cell.contentView addSubView:customView];
        isSelected = NO; //Reset
        selectedIndex = -1;  //Reset
    }

}
