Question

I just have a question with regards to the tableView.

I know we can return the number of sections and rows with.

- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView

- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section

Could you tell me how I can have something like :

• A section within a section (and another section, if possible) – – And
  then configure the rows there ?

And what would I return in

- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView

- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section

Answer 1

You will have to make your own implementation in cellForRowAtIndexPath where you return a row that is really made up of multiple rows and maybe a header label. Or maybe better is to make every other row a “header row” and check in cellForRowAtIndexPath whether you are on a “header row” or normal row; something like this:

if (indexPath.row == 0) {
     // return header row
} else {
     // return normal row
}

and of course in numberOfRowsInSection you will have to return the normal amount of rows + 1 for sections with a header.
