text in header & footer of table section iPhone

Question

Guys, I've a question about printing text in header and footer of table view section. I want to show some text in footer of each row, but i'm having problem doing so. When i start next section it start drawing from below of first one. To Get the idea what exactly i need, go to Settings->General->Network

In this screen, we've multiple sections and after first two sections we've footer information.

Please check this on iPhone 3G. ( I'm not sure if this screen is avaiable on other variants of iPhone ).

Thanks for your help!

Let me know if you need any clarification in the description.

Answer 1

The UITableViewDelegate protocol allows you to return views for the header and footer of a section. Simply implement this method and return a UILabel filled with the text you want to display.

Answer 2

Here are two functions implementation but it does not display as desired

-(UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section { if (section == 1) { CGRect rect = CGRectMake(10.0f,40.0f,300.0f,250.0f);

    UILabel* label  = [[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:rect] autorelease];
    label.backgroundColor   = [UIColor clearColor];
  label.text  = NSLocalizedString(@"MessageHeader","");;
  label.baselineAdjustment= UIBaselineAdjustmentAlignCenters;
  label.lineBreakMode =  UILineBreakModeWordWrap;
  label.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentCenter;
  label.shadowColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
  label.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(0.0, 1.0);
  label.font  = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:14];
  label.textColor  = [UIColor darkGrayColor];
  label.numberOfLines = 0;


  UIView *view = [[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:rect] autorelease];

  [view addSubview:label];

  return view;
 }
} 
return nil;

}

• (UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForFooterInSection:(NSInteger)section {

  if (section == 1) { CGRect rect = CGRectMake(10.0f,80.0f,300.0f,250.0f);

                   UILabel* label = [[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:rect] autorelease];
                label.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
                label.text     = NSLocalizedString(@"MessageFooter","");
                label.baselineAdjustment= UIBaselineAdjustmentAlignCenters;
   label.lineBreakMode  =  UILineBreakModeWordWrap;
   label.textAlignment  = UITextAlignmentCenter;
   label.shadowColor  = [UIColor whiteColor];
   label.shadowOffset  = CGSizeMake(0.0, 1.0);
   label.font   = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:14];
   label.textColor   = [UIColor darkGrayColor];
   label.numberOfLines = 0;
   UIView *view = [[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:rect] autorelease];
   [view addSubview:label];
  
  
  return view;
  
  
  }
  

  } return nil; }

What's wrong here? Why Header & footer text goes all the way to bottom of all the sections.
