Adding data to 2 Sections of UITableView from SINGLE nsmutablearray

Question

Hi guys, I wanted to know how to list data in tableView in different sections BUT from a single datasource.

All examples i saw had number of arrays = number of sections. What i want is suppose I have a 3d nsmutableArray.

If dArray.Id = 1 { //add to first section of UITableView }
else add to Section 2 of UITableView.

Its probably dooable, but i jus need a direction.

Answer 1

yeah it is possible to do it ....

You can have a single NSMutableArray (resultArray) with the entire content in it..

Then in the cellForRowAtIndexPath you cn do it this way

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

if(indexPath.section == 0) { cell.text=[resultArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]; } else if(indexPath.section == 1) { cell.text=[resultArray objectAtIndex:(indexPath.row+5)]; } else if(indexPath.section == 2) { cell.text=[resultArray objectAtIndex:(indexPath.row+11)]; } }

AND IN numberOfRowsInSection

• (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView1 numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {

  NSInteger count; if(section == 0) { count=6; } else if(section == 1) { count=6; } else if(section == 2) { count=4; }

  return count; }
