Can you access application delegate from within a UITableViewDataSource function?

Question

I\'m trying to figure out the SQLite functionality for the iPhone, and I\'m having some problems reading my database file from an overridden UITableViewDataSource function.

Answer 1

Roger is correct, but I personally find it extremely confusing to mix dot syntax and bracket syntax in the same statement.

If this confuses you as well, the equivalent syntax, using only bracket notation, is:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];

and yes, you may need to cast the result to be your application delegate class, rather than the generic UIApplicationDelegate class, or you will get a number of compiler warnings, most likely.
