iPhone SDK: Populate Table View From Core Data

Question

I am looking for a tutorial that shows how to populate a UITableView from core data, allowing to add records and delete them.

There are a few projects that I have found, but they are hard to follow without the steps to build them.

Anyone seen tutorials on this? Or better yet, videos?

Answer 1

Have you looked at NSFetchedResultsController? It takes a fetch request and is designed to be used directly within your UITableViewDataSource, doing much of the heavy lifting.

Handling inserts, deletes and updates is supported but requires a bit more work. Jeff LaMarche has some great articles on NSFetchedResultsController.
