I have a static table created in Interface Builder with 6 sections all with different amounts of rows. I now want to add a 7th section with a varying number of rows.
I thought I'd add an updated answer based on @Darren's excellent answer. Most of the delegate methods are not required. So, I just added the required ones. You can easily add a custom cell if you wish, even using a nib file. The image shows a static table with 3 sections. The final section is run time dynamic. This is extremely handy. This is working in ios7 BTW.
#define DYNAMIC_SECTION 2
#import "MyTableViewController.h"
@interface MyTableViewController ()
@property (strong, nonatomic)NSArray *myArray;
@end
@implementation MyTableViewController
- (id)initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)aDecoder
{
if (self = [super initWithCoder:aDecoder]) {
_myArray = @[@"ONE", @"TWO", @"THREE", @"FOUR"];
}
return self;
}
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
return [super numberOfSectionsInTableView:tableView];
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
if (section != DYNAMIC_SECTION) {
return [super tableView:tableView numberOfRowsInSection:section];
}
return [self.myArray count];
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
if (indexPath.section != DYNAMIC_SECTION) {
return [super tableView:tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
}
static NSString *id = @"MyCell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:id];
if (!cell) {
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:id];
}
cell.textLabel.text = self.myArray[indexPath.row];
return cell;
}
// required
-(NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView indentationLevelForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
int section = indexPath.section;
if (section == DYNAMIC_SECTION) {
return [super tableView:tableView indentationLevelForRowAtIndexPath:[NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:0 inSection:section]];
} else {
return [super tableView:tableView indentationLevelForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
}
}
// Not required
- (NSString *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView titleForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
if (section != DYNAMIC_SECTION) {
return [super tableView:tableView titleForHeaderInSection:section];
}
return @"some title";
}
