How to display the large text if this method "titleForHeaderInSection" returns in iPhone sdk?

Question

Hi Guys,

I am unable to display the total information if the results are nil in iPhone.

-(NSString *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView titleForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section { if ([customerList count] == 0) { return @"Could not find any doctor with your search. Please try again."; } return @""; }

I Declared the table as below myTableView = [[UITableView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320,370) style:UITableViewStylePlain];

Here I can display the text upto ... "Could not find any doctor with your......" How can I show full or total information, Please suggest the solution. Thanking You, Madan Mohan

Answer 1

the method (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView delivers how many sections are present in the current UTableView datasource.

if your datasource is empty, it will provide "0". therefore, your titleForHeaderInSection-method will never be called because of that zero.

if you really want to display that message inside a section header, try something like this:

- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView {
    if([customerList count == 0]) return 1;
    else return [[customerList getSections] count];  // or how ever you get the total of sections in your datasource
}

- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
    if([customerList count] == 0) return 0;
    else return [[customerList getSection:section] count]  // or whatever you have implemented :)
}

Answer 2

-(UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section 

Try out this delegate and pass on a view with multilines label.. it will work...

hAPPY cODING...
