how to retrieve all visible table section header views

Question

is there a way to get all the section header views that are visible?

something similar to UITableView\'s visibleCells instance method..

Answer 1

to get the current visible sections, u could get it by checking the current visible cells indexpath section, so this function could return to u the visible sections

- (NSArray *)indexesOfVisibleSections {

    NSMutableArray *visibleSections = [NSMutableArray array];

    for (UITableViewCell * cell in [self.tableView visibleCells]) {
        if (![visibleSections containsObject:[NSNumber numberWithInteger:[self.tableView indexPathForCell:cell].section]]) {
            [visibleSections addObject:[NSNumber numberWithInteger:[self.tableView indexPathForCell:cell].section]];
        }
    }

    return visibleSections;
}

And to access section view , u can use

- (UITableViewHeaderFooterView *)headerViewForSection:(NSInteger)section;
