Im making a group table that is populated from an XML/RSS feed, ive managed to parse the data to the table just fine, but im stuck on how to make the table grouped?
ie, i want an events listing, and i want to organise the events in groups, using the Month for each group, how would i achieve this?
below is my XML structure, its pretty basic
<EventsUpcoming>
<Event id="1">
<month>July</month>
<title>Ian Moss</title>
<date>Saturday, July 1st</date>
<ticket>$35 On the door</ticket>
<description>

If anyone knows any tutorial sites that might be helpful or just tips on how to go about doing this, thatd be much appreciated. Thanks in advance 🙂
NSMutableSet doesn’t store the duplicate values,it only stores distinct ones.So at the time of parsing,you can use NSMutableSet to store the ‘month’ value of each xml element and set the number of sections in a tableview to the count of your NSMutableSet.
