When adding objects to a uitableview datasource array, how can I update the tableview while still onscreen?

Question

I have a view controller that allows users to add an nsstring to an array that is the source for a uitableview directly underneath the add string uitextfield. I want to add the string to the uitablview as soon as its added to the backend array. ive tried a couple different things and im not really sure how to do it. my feeling is that i need to put a reloadData somewhere but im not sure when or where.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Nick

Answer 1

I'd send the table view a reloadData message as soon as you've added the string to your backend array.

Answer 2

Yes, just call [tableView reloadData] after you have added the item to the array. If that is not working then maybe something else is wrong.
