Using sections in UITableView

[kieran12]

Can anyone point me to a tutorial or other resource on using sections in the UITableView controller. (by sections i mean the headers used for each letter in the contacts app.)

Thanks

You have to implement the TableView:titeForHeaderInSection method as in example below.

- (NSString *)tableViewUITableView *)tableView titleForHeaderInSectionNSInteger)section {

switch (section) {
case 0:
return @"A";
break;
case 1:
return @"B";
break;

case 2:
return @"C";
break;
default:
return @"D";
break;
}
}

I got that bit working but now I'm having more problems. In the cellForRowAtIndexPath method I currently have:

MyAppDelegate *appDelegate = (MyAppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate]; 
	Races *r =(Races *)[appDelegate.racesArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
	
	[cell setText:r.name];

Now that I have multiple arrays to populate each section however I can't get it to work. I tried using the switch statement like before but of course the (section) part does note work because it is not declared in this method.

Any ideas?

The IndexPath variable in CellForRowAtIndex has both section and row .

You can do
switch (indexPath.section) {


}
