How to create a UITableView only?

Question

Hi,

Can i create a table by using only a UITableView without a UITableViewController? Is it possible, if it so how to do that programatically?

Answer 1

I am not sure that I understand -- what is it that you actually want to achieve?

Answer 2

Yes you can:

UITableView *table = 
   [[UITableView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(x, y, width, height)
                        style:UITableViewStyleGrouped];

// Other initializations go here

[parent_view addSubview: table];
[table release];

Answer 3

It would be easier to answer your question if you could tell us what is the reason you want to use UITableView instead of UITableViewController?

I believe that you can use UITableView and not the UITableViewContoller, but in this case you need to set appropraite delegates (dataSource and delegate) which need to comply with appropriate protocols. For more information have a look at the documentation at: http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UITableView_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/occ/instp/UITableView/dataSource
