Multiple UITableViews on one UIView

Question

I need to have two UITableViews on one UIView. I can make it work with one, here is the code:

- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableV         


        

Answer 1

This sample code might help you...

Answer 2

so you need some way to tell the two tableViews apart--you could either set the "tag" property to different values, or have a property on your view controller that points to each view

@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UITableView *tableView1;
@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UITableView *tableView2;

then hook these up to each view in interface builder...

then in your view controller methods you can do

(NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView {
    if (tableView == self.tableView1) {
        return 37;
    } else if (tableView == self.tableView2) {
        return 19;
    } else {
        // shouldn't get here, use an assert to check for this if you'd like
    }
}

Answer 3

Probably the easiest way of implementing this is to have two delegate and data source classes, one for each table view. That would reduce the number of if (tableview == tableview1) occurances in the view controller code.
