Question

I have a UITableViewController. I need to display a table cell followed by a cell that has an embedded UITextField. Basically i need to display the tableView datasource alternatively. Please help me on this.. Thanks.

EDIT #1: Imagine NSMutableArray *tableData; is the datasource for the table which has the following elements:

• @"Apple"
• @"Mango"
• @"Watermelon"

I want the UITableView to be displayed as:

• 1st cell: Apple
• 2nd cell: text field to enter quantity
• 3rd cell: Mango
• 4th cell: text field to enter quantity
• 5th cell: Watermelon
• 6th cell: text field to enter quantity
• 7th cell: save button

Answer 1

Use dataSource method like this:

- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
  // Return the number of rows in the section.
  return ([m_tableData count]*2)+1;
}


- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
   if(indexPath.row == [m_tableData count]*2)
   {
      //cell with button
   }
   else
   {
    if(indexPath.row == 0 || indexPath.row%2 == 0)
    {
      //cell with label for displaying values
    }
    else
    {
      //Load a cell that has an embedded UITextField
    }
   }
}
