    text
    copied!<p>Ok, this question has probably been asked a couple of times but I can't quite find an example that helps me getting forward.</p> <p>I'm trying to create a sectioned UITableView that acts as some sort of history: it should be populated by an NSMutableArray that consists of HistoryBatchVO objects. Those HistoryBatchVO objects contain a timestamp (NSDate) and a names array (NSMutableArray) which in turn contains objects of type NameVO that contains (among other) a NSString.</p> <p>I'd like to use the timestamp as the sections header and the strings from NameVOs to be filled into the sections in the table accordingly.</p> <p>In my table controller I have:</p> <pre><code>-(NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView { return [_dataModel.history count]; } -(NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section { return 1; } </code></pre> <p>(Note: _dataModel.history is my NSMutableArray of HistoryBatchVOs). ... but I suppose <strong>numberOfRowsInSection</strong> needs to return the number of objects in my HistoryBatchVO.names array. Question is how do I do that?</p> <p>Also, how do I change the implementation for <strong>cellForRowAtIndexPath</strong> to get this working?</p> <pre><code>-(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath { static NSString *cellID = @"Cell"; UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellID forIndexPath:indexPath]; HistoryBatchVO *batchVO = [_dataModel.history objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]; return cell; } </code></pre> <hr> <p><strong>UPDATE: After solving the issue, Here's the working code:</strong></p> <pre><code>-(NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView { return [_dataModel.history count]; } -(NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section { HistoryBatchVO *h = [_dataModel.history objectAtIndex:section]; return [h.names count]; } -(NSString *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView titleForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section { HistoryBatchVO *h = [_dataModel.history objectAtIndex:section]; return [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", h.timestamp]; } -(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath { static NSString *cellID = @"Cell"; UITableViewCell *cell = nil; cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellID forIndexPath:indexPath]; if (cell == nil) { cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:cellID]; } HistoryBatchVO *batchVO = [_dataModel.history objectAtIndex:indexPath.section]; NameVO *nameVO = [batchVO.names objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]; cell.textLabel.text = nameVO.string; return cell; } </code></pre>
