    <p>I'm not sure if I understand your question, but each key can have only one object associated with it. In your case, you're using an NSString object. If you replaced the NSString with some object that you create, say AnObjectWithAThingAndAPersonAndAPlace, you could have multiple attributes associated with each key.</p> <hr> <p>I think I understand what you want now. What you want is not an object with arrays associated to it, but an array of objects. You can do it with NSDictionary objects. </p> <pre><code>- (void)setupArray { NSMutableArray *objectArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init]; NSMutableDictionary *object1 = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init]; [object1 setObject:@"Apple" forKey:@"thing"]; [object1 setObject:@"Alex" forKey:@"person"]; [object1 setObject:@"Alabama" forKey:@"place"]; [object1 setObject:@"Azure" forKey:@"color"]; [objectArray addObject:object1]; NSMutableDictionary *object2 = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init]; [object2 setObject:@"Banana" forKey:@"thing"]; [object2 setObject:@"Bill" forKey:@"person"]; [object2 setObject:@"Boston" forKey:@"place"]; [object2 setObject:@"Blue" forKey:@"color"]; [objectArray addObject:object2]; datasource = [NSArray arrayWithArray:objectArray]; } </code></pre> <p>Then in your UITableViewDataSource method</p> <pre><code>- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath { NSInteger row = [indexPath row]; NSDictionary *object = [datasouce objectAtIndex:row]; ... } </code></pre> <p>and you can retrieve all the strings for that object.</p> <p>If I were to do something like this, I would probably create a plist file containing the array. Then your setupArray method could look like this:</p> <pre><code>- (void)setupArray { NSString *filePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"YourFileName" ofType:@"plist"]; NSDictionary *plistData = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:filePath]; datasource = (NSArray*)[plistData objectForKey:@"ObjectsForTableView"]; } </code></pre> <hr> <p>I though I would add a few more comments...In case it isn't obvious, the objects you add to your dictionary don't have to be NSStrings, they can be any object, such as an NSNumber, which may be useful for you in the case of your baseball players. Also, you may wish to create a custom player object instead of using an NSDictionary. And you may want to have something like a Core Data database where the players are stored and retrieved (instead of hard coding them or getting them from a plist file). I hope my answer can get you started on the right path though.</p>

    1. COOkay! So how do I create an object with arrays attached to it? For example, I need a list of players in my UITableview, then each player needs their height, weight, and batting average passed to the detail view controller--maybe an image too. How do I get all those things associated with the UITableViewCell?

    3. COThis is looking good. Can you help me out just a bit more? How do I label the cells? This doesn't work: `cell.textLabel.text = [object objectForKey:@"person"];` How do I access the strings from the detail view controller? Like I said, I'm way new. This is a huge help! :)

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
