POHow to reload the tableview after the user has added a new row - using core data constructs
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm using core data and I have a simple two-entity model. My navigation controller has an "add" button that allows the user to add new school years to the database... (i.e. freshman year, sophomore year, etc...)</p> <p>When the user clicks the add button, I call this function which pushes my simple data entry form onto the stack. Works great. User adds new school year and clicks the "done" button on the form. I pop that form off the stack and the user comes back to the main screen.</p> <p>My problem is that the main screen (tableview) does not show the new entry in the table. How do I make the code refresh the table? Note: If I exit the simulator and relaunch it, the new record is then visible.</p> <p>Here is the function I call when the user clicks the "+" sign to add a new school year.</p> <pre><code>- (void)addSchoolYear { vcAddYear *addYearViewController = [[vcAddYear alloc] initWithNibName:@"vcAddYear" bundle:nil]; [self.navigationController pushViewController:addYearViewController animated:YES]; [addYearViewController release]; } </code></pre> <p>When the user is done adding the new record and then clicks on the "Save" button. Here is that function.</p> <pre><code>- (void)SaveButton { //get a pointer to the managedobjectcontext GradetrackAppDelegate *AppDelegate = (GradetrackAppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate]; managedObjectContext = AppDelegate.managedObjectContext; Schoolyear *schoolyear = (Schoolyear *)[NSEntityDescription insertNewObjectForEntityForName:@"Schoolyear" inManagedObjectContext:managedObjectContext]; // plug the user's data into a schoolyear record [schoolyear setNameForThisYear: _nameYear.text]; [schoolyear setSchoolName: _nameSchool.text]; NSError *error = nil; if (![managedObjectContext save:&error]) { // Handle the error. } //[AppDelegate.delegateSchoolyearsArray insertObject:schoolyear atIndex:0]; [self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES]; return; } </code></pre> <p>At this point, my code returns to the calling rootviewcontroller which is a tableview and the table looks just like it did before the user added the new record. How do I tell my tableview to reload and show the new data item along with the other old ones?</p> <p>Many thanks.</p>
