Dynamically create hierachical tableview from file structure

Question

Hi,

I have a directory structure of directories and files that I want to render as a tableview in an iphone app. I'd rather have this generated dynamically rather than have to maintain a XML PLIST or whatever. i.e. replicate the Explorer functionality in windows where a user can traverse the structure and then select bundled image files for viewing.

Is there any way to do this? Any advice would be appreicated.

Answer 1

What specifically are you having trouble with?

You use NSFileManager to access directory (listings) and files.

You use UITableView to display tables.

Your view controller should use NSFileManager to parse a given directory and display the results in a UITableView.
