Question

So I have two UITableViews in my ViewController, how do I set the delegate & datasource of the second one to that of another UITableViewController file.

For the second one, I’m currently creating it like this

 //now add our second tableview
UITableView *addPapersTableView = [[UITableView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 415)];

addPapersTableView.dataSource = self;
addPapersTableView.delegate = self;
[addPapersView addSubview:addPapersTableView];

And due to the self bit, its obvious pulling data and being delegated from the same file.
Do I do something like #import "AddMoreTableViewController.h" and then something?

Really new to Objective C,

greatly appreciated,

Answer 1

Add your import as you suggested:

#import "AddMoreTableViewController.h"

Be sure to create an instance of it, then set it as the delegate/datasource of your other table. Here’s a rough example (I’ll leave the memory management and semantics up to you):

AddMoreTableViewController *controller = [AddMoreTableViewController alloc] init];
myOtherTableView.datasource = controller;
myOtherTableView.delegate = controller;

You must ensure that you are implementing the protocols UITableViewDataSource and UITableViewDelegate in AddmoreTableViewController.
