Two UITableView in the same view

Question

I want to know if it\'s allowed to use Multiple UItableView in the same View (i don\'t see any thing in the Apple\'s Human Interface Guidelines) and if it\'s OK

Answer 1

Yes you can. The issue is that each UITableView will use the same UITableViewDataSource and UITableViewDelegate. Therefore you must determine which table view you are working with in each of the necessary delegate methods.

For example:

- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

    // make bigger rows

    if (tableView == myBigRowTableView)
    {
        // make bigger rows
        return 127;
    } else if (tableView == mySmallRowTableView) {
        // make smaller rows
        return 20;
    } else {
        return 30;
    } 
}
