Adding the little arrow to the right side of a cell in an iPhone TableView Cell

Question

This should be simple enough.

I have an iPhone app with a TableView. How do I add the little classic arrow to the righthand side of each cell?

Answer 1

You can set little classic arrow like two way as below

1) Using inbuilt accessory type method of UITableViewCell

[cell setAccessoryType:UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator]; 

2) Creating own accessory view with own image

(I) Drag & drop an arrow image(i.e. circle_arrow_right.png) in your project

(II) In cell design method for every row as below

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath 

Write below code:

if (cell ==nil) {
    cell=[[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault  reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier]autorelease];

    //For creating custom accessory view with own image
    UIImageView *accessoryView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 30, 30)];
    [accessoryView setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"circle_arrow_right.png"]];
    [cell setAccessoryView:accessoryView];
    [accessoryView release];

    //Your other components on cells
     .............
    .............

 }

[Note: Choose appropriate images for accessory view and add in your desired cells. Choose small images for accessory views for better performance.]
