Question

Answer 1

The tableView delegate has a method called numberOfSectionsInTableView. Return the number of sections that you want to create.

Then, in the cellForRowAtIndexPath use indexPath's other property [indexPath section] to segregate rows based on sections.

An example

- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
    return 2; //one male and other female
}

-(NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section 
{
    switch(section){
       case 0:
       return [male count];
       break;
       case 1:
       return [female count];
       break;
    }
}


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

    static NSString *FirstLevelCell= @"FirstLevelCell";

    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:FirstLevelCell];
    if (cell == nil) {
        cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:FirstLevelCell] autorelease];
    }
     SecondLevelViewController *controller;
    switch([indexPath section]){
       case 0:
       controller = [male objectAtIndex: [indexPath row] ];
       break;
       case 1:
       controller = [female objectAtIndex: [indexPath row] ];
       break;
    }
    cell.textLabel.text = controller.title;
    cell.imageView.image = controller.rowImage;
    cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator;
    return cell;
}

Hows this?

- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView {
    // Return the number of sections.
    return 2;
}



- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {
    // Return the number of rows in the section.
    switch (section) {
        case 0:
            return # of rows in section;
            break;
        case 1:
            return # of rows in section;
break;
    }
    return 0;
}
