Question

Last week i have downloaded Xcode 4.2, so when i started building apps i’ve tried to add an UITableView to one of my projects (as normal as i have been doing since i began developing) but the UITableView isn’t working. I’ve searching for tutorials but i didn’t found any so:
How can i create an UITableView on Xcode 4.2,for IOS 5?

obs:I’m not using storyBoard just the XIB’s!

Answer 1

in your .h file, add the following:

@interface YourClass: UIViewController <**UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate**>

right-click (or ctrl-click) and drag from your tableView to the File’s Owner twice. Once, select “delegate”, and once select “dataSource”.

Then, in your .m file, you need to implement the following:

- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView{return 1;}

- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{return someNumber;}

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";

    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
    if (cell == nil) {
        cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
    }

    [[cell textLabel] setText:yourText];

    return cell;
}

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
    //do what you want to with the information at indexPath.row
}

That should get you a working tableView.
