The NSMutableArray containing the events is called events</p> <p>Can anybody help me in the right direction. As it stands now, i am getting data back with no headers, and just the events. I have the following right now, but I am still testing. This at least creates a header called Test</p> <pre><code> #pragma mark - table methods -(NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView { return events.count; } -(NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section { return 1; } - (NSString *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView titleForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section { CalendarModel* event = events[section]; NSString *dato = [[event.time objectAtIndex:0] startTime]; NSDateFormatter *formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init]; formatter.dateFormat = @"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSzzz"; NSDate *gmtDate = [formatter dateFromString: dato]; formatter.dateFormat = @"dd-MM-yyyy"; dato = [formatter stringFromDate:gmtDate]; return dato; } -(UITableViewCell*)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath { CalendarModel* event = events[indexPath.row]; NSString *dato = [[event.time objectAtIndex:0] startTime]; NSDateFormatter *formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init]; formatter.dateFormat = @"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSzzz"; NSDate *gmtDate = [formatter dateFromString: dato]; formatter.dateFormat = @"HH:mm"; dato = [formatter stringFromDate:gmtDate]; UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"SportCell" forIndexPath:indexPath]; cell.textLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", event.title ]; cell.detailTextLabel.text = dato; return cell; } </code></pre> <p>Have edited the code above. It now works, but it is showing the same game every time. As if it always takes the first one, and shows that. I think the problem is in the </p> <pre><code>-(NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section { return 1; } </code></pre> <p>method.</p>
