UITableView reload section

Question

I want to reload only one section not the full table. Is there any method in UITableView.

[tableView reloadData] is used to load full table

Answer 1

Based on the accepted answer here, I made a function that will reload all sections in the table using an animation. This could probably be optimized by reloading only visible sections.

[self.tableView reloadData];
NSRange range = NSMakeRange(0, [self numberOfSectionsInTableView:self.tableView]);
NSIndexSet *sections = [NSIndexSet indexSetWithIndexesInRange:range];
[self.tableView reloadSections:sections withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationFade];

In my case, I had to force a reloadData before the section animation, because the underlying data for the table had changed. It animates properly however.
