Are there Anyone that use TableViewController without subclassing?

Question

I am just curious. In IB, we can put a tableviewcontroller. However, as far as I know, we always subclass that tableview controller right? That way we can implement delegate, et

Answer 1

Sure you can use UITableViewController without subclassing it.

Samplecode is very easy and straight forward.

For example like this:

- (IBAction)selectSomeOption:(id)sender {
    UITableViewController *tableViewController = [[UITableViewController alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewStyleGrouped];
    tableViewController.tableView.dataSource = self;
    tableViewController.tableView.delegate = self;
    tableViewController.title = "Select some option";
    [self.navigationController pushViewController:tableViewController animated:YES];
}

and the UITableViewDatasource and Delegate methods go into the same class.

Sure, if you like pain you could create a UIViewController in code and add a tableView on your own.
Or create a subclass for such an easy task.

The use of a non subclassed UITableViewController is sometimes convenient.
