UITableView - add cells

Question

I have a UITableViews inside of a TabBarController that are populated with separate arrays of data. Due to web syncing, this array updates, and I'd like to update the table.

Calling:

[self.tableView reloadData]

will reload content in existing cells, but I need to add cells for the new data. It seems that this method is not calling

-tableView:tableView numberOfRowsInSection:section

again, which is where I dynamically specify the number of rows. Any ideas? I've read all the docs I can find, and haven't caught onto anything. Is this a application design issue?

Thanks!

Take a look at these functions in UITableView:

-(void)insertSections:(NSIndexSet *)sections withRowAnimation:(UITableViewRowAnimation)animation
-(void)insertRowsAtIndexPaths:(NSArray *)indexPaths withRowAnimation:(UITableViewRowAnimation)animation
